    Kaleidoscope [Spring 2006]
    (University of Minnesota: College of Human Ecology, 2006-06-28) University of Minnesota: College of Human Ecology
    It is with mixed emotion that I write this message for the final issue of Kaleidoscope. The College of Human Ecology (CHE) ended its proud 106 year history at the University of Minnesota on June 30, 2006. Over the past months, we had celebrations to honor the outstanding students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The celebrations are bittersweet—like a funeral where you mourn the losses and celebrate the many, many accomplishments. In this special issue of Kaleidoscope, we share some of the highlights of the last decade, the bittersweet celebrations, and the legacy of Human Ecology. Finally, a huge thanks to the thousands of alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends that make our collegiate legacy live on into the future.

    Kaleidoscope [Spring 2004]
    (University of Minnesota: College of Human Ecology, 2004-05-12) University of Minnesota: College of Human Ecology
    The stories in this issue show just how wide-ranging and important our work is when it comes to development across the life span. You’ll read about professor Bill Doherty, who is spearheading a project to help kids and families reconnect in the face of growing “time famine.” You’ll also read about three of our faculty whose scientific research ultimately will improve the fit of all kinds of apparel for everyone. In other stories, you’ll learn how CHE people are supplying the knowledge, creativity, and leadership needed to improve support for people living with disabilities, help male survivors of sexual abuse, improve healthy eating at different life stages, and address the issue of financial security later in life. These are just a few examples of the exciting work being done by CHE faculty, staff, students, and alums to improve knowledge of “life span issues”—and to apply that knowledge to make a positive difference in people’s lives.
