Are you a fan of Star Trek … The Twilight Zone … The Lion King … Porkys? Then you will love Shakespeare!

From the American Old West to Star Trek and comic books, William Shakespeare’s works have been continually adapted and re-interpreted to remain a constant and powerful presence in
our society.

Adams State University has adjusted its Spring Break schedule to coincide with many San Luis Valley public school calendars, announced University President David Svaldi.

“Although our academic calendar was already set through 2015, we believe aligning our break with the school districts’ will eliminate a hardship for our students and faculty with school-age children,” Svaldi said.

The university’s Spring Breaks are now scheduled for March 24-28, 2014, and March 23-27, 2015.
