What athletes and parents should know about head injuries in sports
Jeff Bazarian, a professor of emergency medicine with an active concussion clinic and research program, breaks down what happens when the head takes a hit during sports—from the differences between concussions and less obvious impacts to the latest tools for diagnosis, prevention strategies, and the current state of treatment.
Today’s issue includes:
Summer services at the Learning Center

The Learning Center is open this summer to help optimize your learning and coursework. In-person and virtual tutoring appointments for biology, chemistry, math, and more can be booked online. You can also email, call, or stop by the Learning Center to schedule an Academic Coaching session. The center is located on the first floor of Dewey Hall, which is under construction for the summer. Enter through the door on the back side of Dewey Hall (across from Hoyt Hall, by the cherry blossom trees) and follow the signs. Find more information on services and the summer entrance here.
The digital accessibility team in University Marketing and Communications invites all faculty and staff to take the digital accessibility awareness survey. Your feedback will help strengthen inclusive digital practices and guide accessibility efforts across the University. By completing the survey, you’ll receive information about available resources, upcoming learning opportunities, and ways to get involved in creating a more accessible digital environment.
