President Higdon\u27s 95th Commencement Address
President Lee Higdon said the Class of 2013 has met the challenges he outlined for them when they arrived during a torrential downpour in the late summer of 2009.
You have become leaders on this campus – relied upon by students, faculty and staff for your opinions, your expertise and your involvement,” he told the graduates.
President Higdon added that the Class of 2013 had the honor of attending Connecticut College during an important time in its history. The Class celebrated the College’s Centennial; witnessed the ribbon cuttings for the new fitness center and the new science center; was the first to benefit from the Residential Education Fellows program, in which professors and students work together to enhance intellectual programming in the residence halls; and is the first to include Posse Foundation scholars, a group of student leaders who have helped the College become a more welcoming community for people from all backgrounds.
“You have your entire future ahead of you. I hope you continue to embrace learning in all forms; continue to cross boundaries and to make connections others don’t see; and continue to live the values of the Honor Code and to respect and value equity and inclusiveness as part of your life-long learning. Above all, please stay connected to Connecticut College,” he said
President Higdon\u27s 2008 Commencement Address
President Leo I. Higdon, Jr. tells the Class of 2008 that they have impressed him with their intelligence and talents, their compassion and integrity, and their engagement in the world around them through community service in New London and across the world
President Higdon\u27s 91st Commencement Address
President Lee Higdon told the 2009 graduates You are graduating at a pivotal time in US history – indeed, in the history of the world. In a global economic upheaval, traditional companies and organizations seek to redefine themselves and the work they do. Increasingly, they will look to your generation, and specifically to liberal arts graduates, for answers
President Higdon\u27s 94th Commencement Address
President Higdon urges the graduates, Continue to embrace learning in all its forms. Continue to cross boundaries and to make connections that others don’t see. Continue to live the values of the Honor Code and to respect and value equity and inclusiveness as part of your life-long learning
President Higdon\u27s 2007 Commencement Address
President Higdon advises the 2007 graduates: Use your words well. Think about how your behaviors, your actions and your words can affect others. Live by the Honor Code. And if you find yourself faltering, or in a difficult situation, reflect back on what the Honor Code has meant to you, what this community has meant to you. And draw strength from that. The only other bit of advice I will give you is one you have heard me mention often. And that is, stay connected to this College. You are our newest class of alumni. And that means this College is yours. Forever. Continue to be a part of this community
President Higdon\u27s 92nd Commencement Address
President Higdon tells graduates they are graduating at a pivotal time in U.S. history – indeed, in the history of the world. In a global economic upheaval, traditional companies and organizations seek to redefine themselves and the work they do. Increasingly, they will look to this generation, and specifically to liberal arts graduates, for answers whose comprehensive education has given them the qualities to succeed in the global arena. They are graduating at an important point in Connecticut College’s history, with a Centennial Celebration ahead that will involve them and all the College community, honoring the College’s legacy of excellence and looking ahead to all of the possibilities the future holds
President Higdon\u27s 93rd Commencement Address
President Higdon tells the Centennial Class of 2011: You have the unique experience of graduating when the College is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Every Commencement is an opportunity to look back and look ahead. Your Commencement is special because the whole College is looking with you.
Further, he lauds the graduates who have shared your talents with the world through study abroad, internships and special research projects. I am impressed and deeply gratified by the work you have done – it is a strong indication of the impact you will continue to have throughout your lives. You have become experienced activists and advocates. Working to support, nurture and protect refugees in Rwanda, white lions in Africa, impoverished youth in Brazil… And in the US, studying energy alternatives, mental health issues and acting as advocates for underprivileged youth – in your home communities and right here in New London
Bound states and resonances in the scalar sector of the MSSM
The trilinear couplings of squarks and sleptons to the Higgs bosons can give
rise to a spectrum of bound states with exotic quantum numbers, for example,
those of a leptoquark.Comment: 8 pages, 2 eps figures, latex, epsf; published version (minor changes

p-Wave Resonant Bose Gas: A Finite-Momentum Spinor Superfluid
We show that a degenerate gas of two-species bosonic atoms interacting
through a p-wave Feshbach resonance (as realized in, e.g., a 85Rb-87Rb mixture)
exhibits a finite-momentum atomic-molecular superfluid (AMSF), sandwiched by a
molecular p-wave (orbital spinor) superfluid and by an s-wave atomic superfluid
at large negative and positive detunings, respectively. The magnetic field can
be used to tune the modulation wave vector of the AMSF state, as well as to
drive quantum phase transitions in this rich system.Comment: updated version published in PRL, with minor typos correcte
BEC-BCS crossover in "magnetized" Feshbach-resonantly paired superfluids
We map out the detuning-magnetization phase diagram for a ``magnetized''
(unequal number of atoms in two pairing hyperfine states) gas of fermionic
atoms interacting via an s-wave Feshbach resonance (FR). For large positive FR
detuning a normal magnetized Fermi gas is stable above an exponentially small
value of the population difference. Below this critical value the phase diagram
is dominated by coexistence of a magnetized normal gas and a singlet paired
superfluid with the latter exhibiting a BCS-Bose Einstein condensate crossover
with reduced detuning. On the BCS side of strongly overlapping Cooper pairs, a
sliver of finite-momentum paired Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov magnetized
phase intervenes between the phase separated and normal states. In contrast,
for large negative detuning a uniform, polarized superfluid, that is a coherent
mixture of singlet Bose-Einstein-condensed molecules and fully magnetized
single-species Fermi-sea, is a stable ground state.Comment: 4 RevTeX pages, 2 figures. Minor changes from previous versio
