Your favorite daily newsletter is going on hiatus over the holidays.
The last issue of The Dome will publish on Wednesday, December 23. It will return, though, after the New Year.
The Dome will publish on Wednesdays beginning January 6, 2016 (so be sure to have your submission in by Tuesday, January 5).
The Dome’s daily schedule will resume with the start of classes on Tuesday, January 19. You won’t want to miss that issue, as the start of the new semester will bring with it a new and improved Dome.
The updated version will be more user-friendly and better align with the look and feel of the recently-launched brand. And while your favorites will remain (Campus Candids and In the News), the redesigned Dome will also include a few new features.
Stay tuned….

The Huffington Post reported on new research published by Christy Hoffman, PhD, assistant professor of animal behavior. The research examined “black dog syndrome,” which describes the difficult time dark-colored dogs are thought to have making it out of shelters and into homes.
Hoffman’s research looked at four years of adoption data from two animal shelters in the Pacific Northwest to see how black dogs fare compared to dogs of other demographics. Her results found that black dogs actually have shorter shelter stays when compared to different colored dogs.
