Patrick Devanney, the ERC’s Retention Program Specialist, was invited to view President Barack Obama’s Inauguration and take part in an historical moment in our nation’s history week. Patrick canvassed for Congressman John Tierney (D-MA 6th District) this past fall. I made my way to Washington, D.C. on Saturday, January 19th, meandering through New England byways […]
Time is one of those forces we don’t think much about until we run out of it. Despite your best efforts, you can’t “make up for lost time.” Those hours of watching Jersey Shore reruns are gone forever. Is The Situation really worth it? For those of you who skimp on sleep to make up […]

We know it’s summer vacation, but we thought we’d throw a brief video workshop online for those of you who’ve resolved to make this the “best fall semester ever” (translation: you’re telling yourselves you won’t procrastinate come exams this time.
