Flinn Scholars
What’s the score, Kenneth?
If you’re like us, your cell phone is still recharging, after almost burning out completely Thursday from all the text messages announcing Texas touchdowns in the Holiday Bowl. We really have no idea how Robb Modica (’92) keeps track of everything. Robb, already a veteran collegiate athletics administrator, is part of the design/hosting/management team at […]Dept. of Scary New Vocab
Anna Thanukos (’93) has a newish article in the new journal Evolution: Education and Outreach, where she dishes on “host-switching,” a frightening term we didn’t know; it sounds like part of the Wikipedia entry on zombie movies. Not so, of course: host-switching is how HIV and SARS evolved from bothering chimps and bats to bothering […]Meanwhile, back at The Farm
We don’t want to imply that other classes of Scholars are slacking, but there’s no denying: That Class of 1997 has it going on. While Jason Baer (’87) was asking in forlorn tones what happened to the mega-reunions of Scholars that he remembered from Holidays Past, Kimberlly Chhor (’97) was plunging ahead, hatching a Facebook-powered […]Cheese
Sarah Trainor (’07) has a new site to drum up requests for her digital single-lens reflex expertise. Getting hitched? Riding an escalator? Trying on sunglasses? Whatever it is, looks like Sarah’s your ticket to photographically preserve the moment.“It’s a good gig, kid.”
Monti’s La Casa Vieja in Tempe is perhaps best known as Arizona’s best replica of the actual, original Labyrinth from Greek mythology (you know, with the irritated minotaur, a piece of string, etc…). Despite the twisting corridors, it’s also a pretty good place to have dinner, especially if you’re hanging out with some of the […]What do you want to do today?
Our four-week Thanksgiving holiday is over at last, and there’s a whole bunch to catch up on. For starters, here’s the report that came in a little while ago from Niki Hale Price (’88), who writes for/owns the Oregon Coast Today. If you can help it, don’t drool over this daily life: Let’s see. The […]Pulitzer-winning writer Anna Quindlen visits with Flinn Scholars
Pulitzer-Prize-winning columnist and novelist Anna Quindlen spent the evening of Nov. 16 with a dozen Flinn Scholars, wrapping up a weeklong residency at Arizona State University as the 2007 Flinn Foundation Centennial Lecturer.

Mary Fan (’97), following law school and an MPhil courtesy of the Gates Cambridge people, is working for a year as an Associate Legal Officer for Judge O-Gon Kwon in the Hague. Judge Kwon is presiding over the “Srebrenica Seven” trial, which involves seven Bosnian Serbs alleged to be responsible for genocidal atrocities committed in […]Decisions, Decisions
Back in the day, a Dane was having trouble making up his mind. And one thing led to another, and then everybody except Horatio and a rambunctious Norwegian ended up cold and sprawled out on the stage. If our Dane only knew Sean Warnick (’87), maybe all that mousetrap play-within-a-play business could have been avoided. […]For information about Flinn Scholars, please contact:
