A Word From the Honors Faculty-in-Residence
As you may know, the Faculty-in-Residence program has been running at International Village (INV) in the past four years already, as part of one of the most important academic missions at Northeastern University, in order to sustain and strengthen academic interactions between students and faculty, beyond the classroom. The program enables students to have direct exposure to faculty and academic activities with faculty starting in their freshman year, and through such interactions, educates, guides, and prepares our students for their academic developments at Northeastern University, and beyond.Most of you may have come across and met our two Faculty-in-Residence, Mindelyn Bufford II, Professor of Sociology (top left), and Rifat Sipahi, Professor of Mechanical Engineering (top right). As the name FiR implies, both Professors Bufford II and Sipahi reside in INV, and yes they are your neighbors. You will come across them in the laundry room, cafeteria, lobby, and at several events going on in the building throughout the semester.
Prince William County, Virginia. November 6th, 2012. The polls had closed and I was sitting in a field office in the city of Manassas, obsessively refreshing the State Board of Elections website. I was watching my precincts, the ones I had been working in since June, to make sure that they turned out and voted for my candidate in one of the most highly contested Senate races in the nation.
