Katrina Krawec went from conducting Olympic-related research in Germany this summer to actually attending the Games in London.

A master’s student in kinesiology, Krawec spent several months at the University of Tübingen, just south of Stuttgart, where she participated in a large multi-year study to analyze the health and nutrition behaviours in adolescent Olympic-level elite athletes.

Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch?

The entire campus community—students, faculty and staff—is invited to celebrate the start of the academic year with a free barbecue on Thursday, September 20, from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the quad between Dillon and Chrysler halls.

This event will proceed rain or shine and promises a smoky sausage, a bag of potato chips and a drink, served by campus celebrities absolutely gratis to all comers (while supplies last). There’s even a meatless sausage for vegetarian and vegan diners.

Kyle Asquith has some intimate knowledge about how television markets products to children, but is also quick to dispel the widely accepted notion that it was the TV industry that invented the methods so commonly used today.

“There’s a misconception that marketing to children came in the television age,” says Dr. Asquith, the newest faculty member in the department of Communication, Media and Film. “Most companies already had the tactics and strategies of marketing to children nailed by the 1920s.”
