Lyn Hancock is a renowned Australian-Canadian author known for her books about wildlife. She moved to Canada in 1961 and has since written 20 books, most chronicling her own adventures in Canada and around the world. Her latest book, The Ring, tells the true story of an Irish settler named Sam Livingston and his Métis wife Jane who were among the first settlers of Calgary in 1872. Though Hancock did not do the initial research, she helped shape the story which was updated from the original 1985 version. Hancock is a prolific writer and storyteller who is constantly pursuing new writing projects despite modestly claiming she cannot write.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

- 1. Katie L. Caroll March 2017 Skype Interview by Lycée international nelsoN mandela, nantes, france American oib class.
- 2. Introduction by Katie L. Caroll Katie has had many jobs, including but not limited to newspaper delivery girl, hardware store cashier, basketball coach, puzzle magazine editor, and (her favorite) author. She has lived in the same city her whole life, but has wandered the streets of London in search of bookstores, swam with the sharks in Tahiti, and run a marathon in Alaska. She’s the middle child of five siblings and blames all her problems on middle-child syndrome. She loves collecting signed books and reading them before giving them away as gifts. Her favorite sources of writing inspiration are her family, nature, music, and astrophysics, particularly supernovae, black holes, and dark matter.
- 3. Katie L. Caroll Katie L. Carroll is a mother, writer, editor, and speaker. She began writing at a very sad time in her life after her 16-year-old sister, Kylene, unexpectedly passed away. Since then writing has taken her to many wonderful places, real and imagined. She wrote her YA fantasy ELIXIR BOUND so Kylene could live on in the pages of a book. Katie was also a contributor to THE GREAT CONNECTICUT CAPER, a serialized mystery for young readers. She lives not too far from the beach in a small Connecticut city with her husband and sons.
