Randall Jensen (HPER) co-authored a paper titled “Identifying the optimal resistive load for complex training in male rugby players,” which was published in Sport Biomechanics. The paper was an outgrowth of Jensen’s contacts with the University of Limerick while on sabbatical there and a follow-up to research he had published previously with William Ebben, a former NMU grad student. Two of Jensen’s co-authors on the recent paper are from the University of Limerick and one represents the Irish Rugby Football Union.

Rachel Harris and Jon Barch (Center for Student Enrichment) each submitted information that has been published in the Best Practices For Student Affairs Professionals online report titled Best Practices For Leveraging Online Social Networking Communities.
