Wink Alert From Lake Superior State University On The 50th Anniversary Of Its Department Of Natural Unicorns: Show Love To The Legendary Horned Creatures By Not Hunting Them On Valentine\u2019s Day\n<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

The Department of Natural Unicorns at Lake Superior State University celebrates its 50th anniversary with a wink alert: feel free to devour chocolate delectables, arrange rose bouquets, and pen poetic tributes on Valentine\u2019s Day\u2014but do not, under any circumstances, hunt unicorns on Feb. 14.\n

<\/P>\n\u201cA half-century ago, Lake Superior State University smiled as it established one of the most fantastic branches of pursuit in all of higher education: the Department of Natural Unicorns. Over the decades, countless questers at LSSU, across the U.S., and around the world have not only embraced the unique search but also suspended their affectionate trail on Valentine\u2019s Day as a further gesture of endearment toward the prized figures,\u201d said Game Warden of the Department of Natural Unicorns, Peter Szatmary, who also doubles as executive director of marketing and communications at LSSU. \u201cUnicorn hunters understand the importance of the 24-hour pause in the fabulous chase just as they know that questing hours normally run day and night except when the Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus is around because there\u2019s only so much magic available at one time.\u201d Read more.<\/a><\/h2><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

COVID-19 Terminology Tops Lake Superior State University\u2019s Annual Banished Words List Just In Time For The Vaccination Rollout\n<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Enough already with COVID-19!\n\nPeople across the U.S. and around the world let Lake Superior State University know that they\u2019re tired not only of the coronavirus pandemic but also of hearing, reading, and talking about it\u2014especially when the communication is bad or excessive.\n\nCOVID-19 terminology monopolized submissions for LSSU\u2019s annual Banished Words List this year. Out of 1,450-plus nominations, upwards of 250 of the words and terms suggested for banishment for overuse, misuse, or uselessness relate to the coronavirus. In fact, seven of the 10 words and terms that LSSU is banishing for 2021 are about it.\n\nRanked No. 1 to get rid of is what started of all this: \u201cCOVID-19\u201d itself.<\/span> Read more<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
