Conn professors featured on The Academic Minute

Five Connecticut College professors participated in a week-long takeover of The Academic Minute Dec. 2-6.

David Canton, Michelle Dunlap, Andrea Lanoux, Marie Ostby and Derek Turner were featured in 90 second segments, which aired each weekday on WAMC at 7:40 a.m. and 3:56 p.m. The recordings are posted on The Academic Minute’s website and in the Quick Takes section of Inside Higher Ed.

The Academic Minute profiles researchers from colleges and universities around the world, keeping listeners abreast of the ways academic research contributes to solving the world’s toughest problems and serving the public good. The program is hosted by Lynn Pasquerella, president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
