Benefits Of The Seven Sisters School: Barnard College

In general, the previous schools that I had attended were rather conservative in the sense that there is a lesser degree in the freedom to flourish in distinct fields of study. Therefore, I crave in expanding my abilities in different fields and in different places. I decided to turn to American education to challenge this stereotype. Attending Lewis & Clark College would allow the broadening of my perception in both academia and profession-wise. I see Lewis & Clark as the fertile grassland that can assist my pursuit for knowledge as it provides a large diversity of programs and working relationships with multiple companies. Ultimately, Lewis & Clark College serves as a springboard for me to achieve a higher ground throughout my career path. The opportunities provided in Lewis & Clark College could potentially elicit the inner potentials of myself to develop in the society and better represent myself as a successful candid from the

Furthermore, the number of female students taking college courses has dramatically changed the face of college education in the last few decades. More and more women are seeking college degrees or certifications than men. This shift in the student population has led to some unique challenges that colleges must address in the near future to accommodate for the paradigm. Community college support structures for single working mothers have been found to be lacking on many campuses.

I feel Notre Dame is going to teach me what I need to know for the future ahead of me. As I was researching private high school in the Bay Area, I noticed that Notre Dame is the oldest all-girls school in California. What this means is the high school has a long-time experience with teaching young women to thrive in society with a sense of pride and justice. The high school is located in downtown San Jose, which keeps me connected with my local community, whether it would be field trips every so often or just serving the community during immersion trips. Clubs that peaks my interest including such as Fashion Club and Anime Interest Group are just enjoyable ways to get to know my peers better and create some lifetime connections, along with

Harthwarth highlights the important roles that women’s colleges played in the United States since 1820 to the present. It reviews the beginning of women’s colleges, the challenges that they did throughout the years for example how women’s colleges became coeducational colleges (pg. 1). Women have suffered a large amount of discrimination or negation in attending school and pursuing a higher level of education. Fortunately, throughout the time, women are gaining more and more opportunities and spaces to develop themselves in different fields where in the past only men were accepted for example in the science, politics, and math fields. Into this article are some arguments that I do not agree with. For example, when it says that women are not

Growing up in Redding Connecticut I attended Joel Barlow High School. This was a great experience for me because of my small town’s great sense of community. I participated in many activities during my time at Joel Barlow, the most prominent being sports. Being a part of a team really taught me to be collaborative, supportive of my teammates and also gave me the opportunity to form great and trusting relationships. So, of course when it came time to begin my college searching process, choosing one out of the hundreds of colleges and universities that would provide those same principles became quite overwhelming. And while many of my friends had already determined where they were going to spend the next 4 years, I felt very unsure of my future. As more time went by I realized I needed to focus in on

In my first reflection, I elaborated on my personal goals in relation to my experiences at Spelman College. I spoke about how those experiences have influenced my goals. Since then my goals have not changed, however I have become more determined to reach those goals. My overall determination stems from the fact that I am surrounded by a vast group of intelligent and talented women. My Spelman sisters push me to reach greater heights, and they encourage me to not just be mediocre. Therefore, the consistency of my goals, my influences to acquire my goals, and my aspiration to achieve my goals all contribute to my success at Spelman College thus far.

Despite the aforesaid I was determined to brake the chains that society had placed upon me, and apply to colleges. Upon receiving my acceptance letter to Rutgers University I vowed to make the most of any opportunity that became accessible to me and I started with my undergraduate career. Last May I graduated cum laude from Rutgers University. While enrolled I lead, governed and regulated a myriad of organizations and attained numerous high titles. I

Since their inception in the 19th century, women’s colleges in the United States have faced significant challenges and undergone a multitude of transformations in their pursuit to educate women (Kratzok, 2010; Thelin, 2004; Turpin, 2010). In recent years, economic hardship has forced many women’s colleges to reexamine their identity and initial purpose, as rising costs and dwindling enrollments have led a majority to co-educate or close their doors entirely (Hursh & Wall, 2011; Kratzok, 2010). The fierce competition for students in today’s higher education climate has hit women’s institutions particularly hard, as once there were over three hundred women’s colleges and only about seventy presently remain (Women’s College Coalition, 2001). Though women make up the majority of undergraduate students (Turpin, 2010), the future of these small, private women’s colleges seems uncertain (Langdon & Giovengo, 2003). However, by examining their contentious historical beginnings to their evolution in the 21st century, one can determine the pivotal role women’s colleges still play in the United States higher education system.

Although I can’t answer all the questions about how I’ll do it, I’m certain that I will make a positive difference in the world and I am also certain that Barnard College is ideal for me. Barnard’s commitment to intellectual risk-taking and discovery and its joint theatre program are the main factors that influenced me to apply. Barnard is known for its intimate learning environment and embodies qualities that I find attractive and motivating. I’ve spent my entire life going from one close-knit group to the next. Whether it was Taekwondo, Dance, Theatre, or The Commonwealth Governor’s School, each group was empowering, nurturing, and noble in its own way. What I really adore about Barnard’s Theatre program is that it’s a holistic theatre and

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” This quote from Nelson Mandela always clicked with me, because while many things can change the world, education is always at the root of it. The Ottawa County Early College program is an opportunity for me to practice with this essential tool. I feel that I am a good fit for the program because I have passion for my studies, am proactive in them, and I flourish under challenge. This amazing program excites me because it will help me to achieve my overall goal for my education; to positively impact the world. While I have many different ideas with what I want to do with my education, Early College will allow me to explore many different paths within a budget I

Coming from a diversity community and high school allowed me to have different view of points and be open about several topics such as immigration, low wages, and poverty for the worse. Being raised in a low income and diversity community and high school made me have the vision that where ever I go I would adjust to the environment and asotsphere which wasn’t the case when I decided to attend Johnson County Community College. My first semester of college was a but challenging because I was used to communicating with people that I was confortable with, and the group of people I normally interacted with throughout my entire life were Hispanic individuals. Coming to JCCC changed my whole perspective about how I have to adapt and get used to not

Over the past couple years students in GRCC’s Geography program and the International Geographic Honor Society have been able to partner with the Campaign for Female Education. Together they have been able to help young girls in East Africa go to school. Educating women in these third world countries not only stimulates their economy but also keeps women healthier and safer. GRCC has helped create a better future for underprivileged women across the globe. GRCC’s Geography students are also working in their own community to bring awareness to the poverty found in the school. They are getting the word out about the GRCC food pantry. This is something that most students, myself included, were not aware existed. Human Trafficking is another area where students and alumni have partnered with local activists to bring awareness to the horrific situations women and children are forced

I graduated from North Side High School in May of 2010 and moved to Chattanooga Tennessee, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Child and Family Studies at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. While there I was able to joining various organizations: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Black Student Alliance (BSA), Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., and Women of Excellence. I was even able to co-establish a women’s empowerment organization called Unique Perception. I also received multiple awards such as Woman of the Year in April of 2015, Miss. UTC in November of 2013, and Most Involved on Campus in March of 2013. I had the best undergraduate experience because I made the decision to invest in my university and make a

In our growing society we have to worry about our peers. We need to consider that there is going to be people just like us that needs someone to go to. I want be that person. Our senior year is coming to an end and we have to be prepared to become a freshman again. We have to make the choice to further our schooling or go straight into the working field. There are many that are going to go to the work field right away but I have decided that I want to further my education in the social working field. In my decision in furthering in school I have to pick the school I want to attend. In choosing between Indian State University (ISU), University of Southern Indiana (USI), and Vincennes 10

Vassar College was founded by Matthew Vassar in 1865 as an all woman 's school. Vassar, a wealthy man with no children was prepared to give his money to build a hospital that would immortalize his name, but Milo Jewett convinced him it would create a bigger legacy to build a college for women (Vassar admissions). Vassar agreed with Jewett and set about planning the school. He wanted to produce well rounded women that would eventually graduate from a college that would be considered the female equivalent of Harvard. The young women attending the college would receive all well-rounded, useful degree in liberal arts. This was uncommon during that time period because most ladies attended an all girls seminary school instead of a college. Even though the college provided a liberal arts education it still ran under many of the same governances as the seminary schools had. This created a strange mix between a college and seminary school which changed the way the architecture and the policy of the school were shaped.
