For the 9/11 anniversary Sun's class met on the HPER Field for instruction from an Army sergeant discussing the tactics of strategic thinking, Sun said. In October, the class will present group projects to a panel of industry, U.S. Army and USU specialists to gauge their progress, she said. With multinational experience in executive and management positions including vice president at Citicorps-Citibank, Sun said she focuses on preparing students to be competitive in the global and local business world. "Now days in this downsizing global economy, if you're not a candidate for promotion you're automatically a target for downsizing," she said. Sun said she also brings a unique cultural perspective as a Chinese-American. "We say it all the time, business is a battlefield," she said. "In Chinese we grow up with strategic concepts, it's our daily language." Sun's unconventional approach on You can be eligible to receive cash upon delivery of your baby.

"At first when I got into Brenda's class I was utterly confused," said Alyssa Callister, business marketing major and current student in Sun's class. "It was a sea of confusion. On the first day of class I remember her saying that if we were confused that she had accomplished something." That is a common experience. Sun said. "I always tell students, don't benchmark this course on other courses, benchmark it against the workplace," she said. As a consequence of this real-world simulation, Sun said students just looking to fill a requirement or who want to coast along are often surprised. "It's like I'm buying a toothbrush, but I didn't know that this one vibrated and costs $100," Sun said. Though the course may initially be jarring, students often appreciate the high expectations.

They say they don't want to deal with it, but it has a direct impact on our lives, like with the economy, that's a job market that we are going into and we want someone leading us who knows what the heck they are talking about." ASUSU, USU for Obama and other campus political clubs and organizations have been registering students to vote, and have been raising awareness about this years election and the difference the youth vote can make, Laughlin said. "You have major political pundits and pollsters looking at the youth vote, and wondering how many are going to turn out, how we are going to vote, and how it is going to affect the election, and we can make a really big difference, and that hasn't happened • • < • • ' • • ' - : • ' V : -y>* Opening Social 0t> 11:00am-1:00pm • 2nd floor of BUS I^Q- -;/J.

"Because I am currently starting my own business, I find that every week activities and discussions that we have in class apply to what I am doing professionally." By not handing her students a stepby-step syllabus, Sun said she encourages students to seek out clarification on their own, an essential skill for the workplace. This intentional vagueness also emphasizes creativity and individuality, she said. "The students may come up with something better than me," she said. "Strategic thinking isn't about following instructions." Sun said she tries to incorporate principles of modern warfare into the business world without excluding the importance of cooperation and ethical behavior. "I find that many people are all too quick to adapt to practices with ethical implications while at the same time I see people all too inflexible and rigid," she said. -hniMbbott@iiggieiriaiI.usu.eiiu Award: Health on campus is recognized \M continued from page 1 in a really long time," Laughlin said. Olsen said ASUSU set a goal to register 2,500 USU students to vote, and with 11 days left for voter registration has already registered 2,400. "It is very gratifying getting our campus ready to vote," Olsen said. "This is the first time many of these students will be voting in a presidential election. This election is not only historic for a many number of reasons, but also historic for many students on our campus as they launch the rest of their lives." USU students have until Friday Oct. 3 to register and can vote in early registration on campus Oct. 27 through Oct. 30 on the second floor of theTSC, Olsen said. "This year is very, very exciting for everybody. This has been a huge turnout, a warm reception of political activity on campus and I think it's only going to get better as these last few weeks wind down before the election," he said. -Undsay.anderson@aggiemaiLusu.edu 55 N Main St. Suite 205 Logan, Utah 81322 < y • " • • : , Monday, Sept. 29, 2008 September 29th-October 3rd Barfuss said the Wellness Center is striving to achieve the Platinum Award, which is the highest recognition in the Healthier You Legacy Awards for this coming school year.
