year marked both the renewal and interruption of my work with Collins. Renewal in that  \nI signed on for another four year stint as director. And interruption in that I took a previously negotiated administrative leave and so was away for the spring semester. As a result, I missed several events that were planned while I was still around but took place while I was away: the return of the IU Soul Revue to Collins in February, a visit by rapper, writer and spoken word artist Dessa, and the new Collins Speaks program. Each demonstrates a different dimension of Collins. I recruited the IUSR to perform at Collins several years back and I have no doubt that they rocked the Coffeehouse just as well this time as last. The IUSR is one of the many great artistic/musical resources on campus, and I’ve tried over the years to bring some of these to Collins. At the same time, we need of course to get out and enjoy groups like the IUSR at the many Bloomington cultural and performance venues, both on campus and off. The Dessa visit instead was an initiative of Collinsite Rachel Carpenter. My role there was mostly as facilitator insofar as we applied for and received funding from the College Arts and Humanities Institute. Dessa conducted well attended poetry and prose workshops (again, in the Collins Coffeehouse). Finally, the idea for Collins Speaks came from alumna Candace Bertotti who was familiar with a similar initiative at Harvard. Mentored by faculty volunteers (and coordinated by Associate Director Yara Clüver), a group of Collinsites delivered prepared brief speeches in the Collins dining hall. All of these initiatives are described elsewhere in the Annual Report; taken together they speak to the richness of the Collins experience where students, alumni, faculty, staff and guests contribute to creating a cultural milieu unlike any other on campus.  \ns to my time away, I was in Italy pursuing new research topics.

The Salento is currently dealing with a bacterial infection that has attacked the olive trees. I write about that some on my blog ([carlipsen.com](carlipsen.com)) and have begun researching the history of olive oil back at least to the 18th century.  \nhile I was away, Vivian Halloran took over as faculty director of the LLC. I know she did a great  \nWjob and hope Collinsites won’t be too disappointed by my return. As I write this I am back in  \nBloomington, enjoying the summer heat, and planning for another dynamic year at Collins.  \ns we prepare Collins for a new  \nAdents (and our returners) for  \ncrop of stuthe coming  \nschool year, we create display boards that hang in the Edmondson Hall lounge with photos and comments about the past year. These give us a chance to reflect on all that took place in this very active center. And, like most years, this included programming and events that are traditions from year to year and new efforts that create a community that is fluid and evolves.  \nChief among new initiatives was Collins  \nSpeaks, our story-telling project, which was suggested to us through Collins alumna, Candace Bertotti.
