What kind of classes are your favorites to teach? Well this one, Europe and Its Others, I like teaching this class and then I am enjoying teach- ing this class on Alice Walker's work and I am also adding other women writers in there. I'm adding in Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison and Angela Davis. So I like that, but I also like teaching graduate seminars, all different types of graduate seminars. Whatkind ofclasseshaveyou taught in the past that stand outtoyou? I've taught African Cinema, which I liked. Last winter I taught a course on human rights and LGBT issues in Sub-Saha- ran Africa. I really liked it. I've taught a course on writing the colonial library.

According to a release published on the clinic's website, Cole- man attended her first quarterly meeting of the board Friday. A biochemist by training, Coleman holds a doctorate in biochemistry and professor emeritus appointments in the University's Medical School and LSA. She retired as presi- dent earlier this year after lead- ing the University for 12 years. Her successor, University Pres- ident Mark Schlissel, is a noted -5 immunologist who also holds appointments in the Medical School and LSA. Coleman also currently serves on the boards of pharma- ceutical company Johnson and Johnson and the Meredith Cor- poration, an Iowa-based media conglomerate - positions she held during her presidency. In 2009, Johnson and Johnson paid Coleman $229,978 in cash and stock and the Meredith Corporation's compensation totaled $137,167, according to a 2010 New York Times report. According to Mayo Clinic spokesperson Karl W. Oest- reich, Mayo Clinic public trust- ees are not compensated for their service, but do receive reimbursement for expenses incurred while traveling to and from quarterly board meetings. Trustees also receive supple- mentary medical insurance for treatment at Mayo Clinic facili- 5-m ties that is not covered by pri- mary insurance policies. The non-profit Mayo Clinic's governing body is a 31-member board composed of both clinical physicians and administrators and public representatives. The trustees are charged with over- seeing research, medical edu- cation and patient care at the organization's sites in Florida, Arizona and Minnesota. Public trustees are selected by a governance and nominat- ing committee within the Board of Trustees. "Trustees are invited based upon their experience, exper- tise, and other priority charac- teristics identified from time to time by the Governance & Nominating Committee," Oest- reich wrote in a statement. Previous Mayo Clinic trust- ees include former First Lady Barbara Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential candidate Walter Mondale. Journalist Tom Bro- kaw currently serves on the board. This year, U.S. News and World Report ranked the Mayo Clinic the best hospital in the country. In 2012, the Mayor Clinic employed more than 61,000 people, saw 1.165 million patients and presided over $634 million in research funding. FOLLOW US ON TWITTER @michigandaily WE PROMISE IT'S A FUN TIME! LSA sophomore Aditi Rao explains her platform at the LSA Student Government Candidates' Forum in Palmer Commons on Monday. L SA candidate forum,' discusses health, safety a Twelve students are runnning for 10 open seats By TANAZ AHMED' Daily Staff Reporter Students hoping to become representatives in the LSA Student Government came- together in Palmer Commons on Monday night for the fall elections' Candidates' Forum. The forum provides candi- dates with the opportunity to discuss their platforms and answer questions related to their ideas. "While students can read platforms on the actual vot- ing website, they can look at people's Facebook pages, they can see fliers all around," said LSA-SG President Natasha Dabrowski, an LSA senior. "There wasn't as much of a forum that we could use for students interested in the elec- tions to find out more about the platforms and ask questions' because once the voting period starts, students can answer questions but they can't pro- mote themselves." For the past few years, the forum has been held during both the fall and winter semes- ters. During the fall elections only student representative seats are open, while in the winter elections the president and vice president positions are also open. The event was mandatory for all candidates. Though the forum was open to all LSA stu- dents, the event was not highly attended. "We really do hope that more and more students will engage through this event and through other events with representa- tives so that they're educated in their voting," Dabrowski said. This fall, 12 applicants are vying for nine representative spots. Ten out of the 12 appli- cants are LSA freshmen, which include Carly Berger, Scar- lett Ong Rui Chern, Nicholas Fadanelli, Jeremy Glick, Kath- ryn Graham, Joseph Hansel, Madison Kelly, Uriel Lee, Elai- na Rahrig and Alyson Rich. The remaining two candidates are LSA sophomores Aditi Rao and John Steffes. Student safety and well- being was a prominent topic at the forum. Candidates pro- posed improving the street lighting on North Campus as well as increasing the number of blue safety lights on campus. To improve student mental health, candidates suggested spreading awareness, about University resources such as Counseling and Psychologi- cal Services and University Health Services. Some candi- dates discussed placing heat lamps, which provide vitamin D, in residence halls to combat seasonal depression. Many of the candidates also focused on the environment and sustainability on cam- pus. The implementation of a zero-waste program at the Big House to reduce waste was one of the initiatives discussed. The polls for the fall elec- tion will open at midnight on Nov. 19 and close at 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 20. The ballot will also include three questions at the end to gauge student opinions on LSA's Race and Ethnicity requirement, the accessibility of research on campus and the implementation of zero-waste at the Big House.
