Say what you want about the federal government, but they take their zombie apocalypse seriously.

In fact, the CDC (we kid you not) has a whole page of information and links if you suspect they're coming to get you, Barbara.

Not to be outdone, UMD held Academics V. Zombies last night.  How does the undead population figure into Goals 2 and 4 of the University's Strategic Plan?

Should the UMD Police Department be conducting Active Zombie training?  Those questions and more were answered as we took a deep dive into the living-challenged this morning on Northland Morning.
