The university has added Ghana to its ever-growing list of study abroad destinations.

Komla Aggor, director of the Ghana Summer Study Abroad Program, said that even though students may be hesitant to go to Africa instead of popular European destinations, Africa will be a refreshing experience because it is a lesser known continent.

"There are many students that are really familiar with European countries, but this is a new ground we are breaking, a new ground now for students to diversify their knowledge and find out the facts (about Ghana)," Aggor said.

Lori Muhr found her farm on Facebook was not doing as well since beginning the new master's program in the Harris College of Nursing & Health Sciences.

The farm Muhr referred to was a virtual one featured in an application designed for members to care for farm animals.

Muhr is one of the six inaugural students in Harris College's clinical nurse leader program, which began in fall 2009. She works as an emergency nurse at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth and said the program was similar to having another full-time job.

There is a great and shameful disparity in pay among assistant professors and full-time professors. The promotion system in the humanities is inherently flawed. It rewards certain professors with greater wealth and prestige who produce more and better research, while it tramples all others. The laissez-faire status quo in humanities research rewards the "haves" at the expense of the "have-nots." It is a grindingly oppressive culture that must be regulated to ensure fairness.

The No. 20 Lady Frogs (14-4, 4-1 Mountain West) will be looking to continue their home dominance when they take on conference foe Colorado State University (11-7, 3-2 Mountain West) on Wednesday at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

The team is 9-0 at home this year and will face a Rams team with an away record of 3-5.

Horned Frog football is here to stay despite a BCS bust.

The baseball team, even though it's been overshadowed by the football team's recent crack into the BCS, was a win away from the College World Series. The Collegiate Baseball Newspaper has the Horned Frogs ranked at No. 15.

According to Golf Week, men's golf is ranked No. 4.

Men's swimming is ranked No. 1 in the Mountain West.

Even the equestrian team made a run into the national championship in 2009.

Following a decisive win on the road against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels, the Lady Frogs moved up the ranks to the No. 20 spot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll.

TCU was up early in the game but ended the first half down by seven. The Lady Frogs came back strong in the second half and defeated the Rebels 81-61.

Prior to the UNLV win, the Lady Frogs won nine of their 11 games since the first week of December. This raised their overall record to 14-4, and 4-1 in Mountain West Conference play.
