Alma Mater

What is your Alma Mater?
If you have not graduated college yet, list the school you are presently attending. If you have not gone to college yet, list the school(s) you plan to apply for/attend. If you never went to college, or never plan to, then perhaps talk about what schools you would like to go to now, reasons for not going, reasons for dropping out, etc..

For me:
The Evergreen State College

I graduated in 2003, but was thrilled to read this snippet from wiki:
Quote:
In late 2006, Evergreen's level of academic challenge among freshman and seniors was marked in the top ten percent of all baccalaureate colleges in the nation by the National Survey of Student Engagement, a study by Indiana University and the Pew Charitable Trusts.[1] Author and former New York Times education editor Loren Pope cites Evergreen as one of two public colleges in the United States in his book Colleges That Change Lives.
The school mascot is a clam. Ah, but not just any clam is it. It's a geoduck! Yep, our mascot is the lonesome geoduck (pronounced gooey-duck). It's a rather large bivalve, which made our posters look rather...err...phallic.

Go Geoducks!

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
