Northern Kentucky University is trying out a new evaluation process. Instead of doing Scantron evaluations, 412 classes at NKU will be completing online evaluations. For the classes selected, the spring semester marks the first online student evaluation project (OSEP) presented by the Faculty Senate.

While some of Northern Kentucky University students were off gallivanting and partying in Florida and Cancun during spring break, 12 students went to Mazamitla, Mexico. They spent the week installing solar panels on houses without electricity, patching up and cleaning a fish tank and teaching schools about computers and technology as well as English.

Prior to 1981, it was rare to see anyone from outside the United States on campus. However, the Office of International Student Affairs has been toiling for more than 25 years to change that. Now, 351 students from 83 countries attend Northern Kentucky University during the spring 2008 semester.
