Congratulations And Welcome To The NJIT Family

America’s most beguiling metropolis started out as a snake-infested, hurricane-battered swamp. Through intense imperial rivalries and ambitious settlers who risked their lives to succeed in colonial America, the site became a crossroads for the Atlantic world. Powell gives us the full sweep of the city’s history from its founding through

I arrived at the museum at exactly 9:26. Due to the fact that the house was not scheduled to open until 9 am, I was afforded the opportunity to take a stroll downtown for the first time in almost 8 years. As a kid, my mother and her sisters would take myself, my sister and cousins on “field trips “to downtown Savannah. Like most low income families, we didn’t have a lot of money therefore we found ways to enjoy the city without breaking the bank. This relates to the topic at hand

This Summer, I had the opportunity to spend my entire break attending conferences and interning at a lab at UCSD so I thought to myself I would never have the time to visit any art museum or do my summer assignments for that matter. That was until I realized I was living at a campus who had an art piece practically on every corner of their six colleges. I then began my journey, on scooter, to discover the hidden and the not so hidden gems The Stuart Collection at UCSD had to offer. It was then that I fell in love with 2 specific art pieces throughout the campus, those being Do Ho Suh’s Fallen Star, which depicts an immigrant’s transition into American culture, and Kiki Smith’s Standing, which depicts a seemingly tortured woman.

As we know, the result of “Art is” is “Art is” which returned in an ephemeral form at the Studio Museum. All forty photographs are on display on the basement level of the galleries, which are supposedly reserved for pieces in their permanent collection. The room just outside, whether coincidentally or not, is filled with photos of students - reflecting personal memories. How the museum decides to play with this, is by missing them with old-timer photos of Harlem from the

According to the article “Newark is best known for being the site of an airport near New York, and for many of our readers, that’s the only reason to stop there,” wrote the editors of Conde Nast Traveler owned by the Newhouse family which publishes The Star- Ledger. With the holiday season and the increase of violence in the city (exactly ninety-six murders) the survey actually appears to be true. But, I view this survey as a bias opinion/ assumption from people who just stepped off of an airplane to get

Over the weekend, I took the time to explore two museums. The first museum I visited was the D.I.A , also known as the Detroit Institute of Arts. The D.I.A was a very beautiful, multicultural, and unique place. I also took the time to visit and explore the Charles H. Wright Museum of Detroit. Luckily, these museums weren’t too far from each other they were roughly 5-7 minutes apart. The Charles H. Wright Museum was also very beautiful, it was more appealing to me because it is a museum that exhibits and highlights the history of the African American culture. The Charles H. Wright museum also happens to be the largest African American museum in the world.

My academic career and outlook on life was shaped greatly by my education and youth in Trenton. Ever since I could remember I had inspiring teachers and friends who didn’t consider

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but

I have lived in Charlotte, North Carolina since I moved from Raleigh at the age of two. For most of my life Charlotte has been a peaceful and loving environment filled with increasing job opportunities. However, the recent events that have come crashing over Charlotte have overshadowed all of the great things that I have to love as child and now young adult. I am sure you are familiar with the tragic shooting of Keith Lamont Scott and the side effects that followed. Not only was my great city put into the limelight for a negative reason, it was also flipped onto its head leaving many of people confused as to what the future may hold. Now, people see Charlotte as an example of what not to be; however, I believe that Charlotte has the ability

The organization that represent the face of Newark’s environment is called, Ironbound Community Corporation (ICC) but the team that specialize with this particular social issue is the “Environmental Justice”. Ironbound is in the East Ward of Newark but is considered the most contaminated section in comparison to the rest of Newark. Emily Turonis was the young lady who I had the privilege to interview and really find out about Newark and what has the Environmental Justice team have done to improve the living circumstances of Ironbound.

Detroit is a very well-known and diverse city. “Somewhere behind its neglected, graffiti covered skyscrapers are charming reminders of a city that was once among the world’s wealthiest” (Gray). This city has been through a lot. Detroit was first founded by the French in 1701 and then used as a fur trade post. Jumping a little in the future, it has had riots and protest for equal rights among its busy streets. Detroit is also known as the Motor City. “By the mid-twentieth century one in every six working Americans was employed directly or indirectly by the automotive industry” (Sugrue). Yet after everything this city has endured Detroit is thought of as a place of fear. It has a lot of history and has a lot to offer if people would let

According to Newman (2015) to treat drug use as a health issue and end to end the war on drugs, three strategies need to be implemented. These strategies include drug decriminalization, supervised injection facilities, and heroin-assisted treatment. Advantages of decriminalization are it can help minimize overdose, disease, and addiction, while reducing the larger number of people in the criminal justice system (Newman, 2015) . It has been shown with evidence that supervised injection facilities are effective in reducing new HIV infections, overdose deaths, and public issues (Newman, 2015). All this is reduced without the increase of criminal activities or drug use. Heroin-assisted treatment is an important strategy because it can reduce the

According to the National League for Nursing the core values of a nurse are caring, excellence, diversity, and integrity (National League for Nursing, 2014). I believe it is important to be an advocate for our patients. Sometimes the patients are not able to speak for themselves and sometimes there are not family members present to speak up for the patient. Sometimes the nurse has to be there to advocate for the patient to make sure he or she is receiving the care that he or she needs. According to the author Beth Perry a nurse is able to keep the patients dignity by “advocat[ing] for patients’ wishes when the patients were not able to advocate for themselves” (Perry, 2005, p. 44). This is when the patient needs a nurse the most; this speaks
