The Spring 2026 issue of Southern Alumni Magazine is now online.
Inside the issue:
- Nationally ranked research opportunities, global engagement, and exceptional value place Southern among Connecticut’s top universities.
- Michael Rogers, professor of anthropology, and his students have spent almost two decades uncovering artifacts in Ethiopia. A field site at West Rock Nature Center in Hamden is also a land of discovery for both undergraduates and graduate students in Southern’s new master’s program in archaeology and cultural resource management.
- A Southern research team sets sail as visiting scientists with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, studying the impact of fish farming in Iceland’s waters.
- Artist and naturalist Marylou Blakeslee, ’78, follows her passion to the planet’s most remote places — and inspires others to protect them.
- Southern honors three trailblazing alumni with spaces named in their honor: Rob Parker, ’86; Neil Thomas Proto, ’67; and Rita Landino, ’64.
- Ulia Gosart, MLS ’05, brings the stories of Ukraine’s youngest artists to the world — one drawing at a time.
Plus, campus developments and achievements, alumni news and notes, and more.
