Summary: Brooklyn College

It can also be helpful for students to meet community needs.As it is stated in article “What is College For?” by Joseph R. Urgo who is the President of St. Mary's College of Maryland, “College is for students to decide what and how they want to contribute to society, to the economy, to their communities and to the well-being of their families”. Saint Cloud State University provides the opportunity to volunteer through different organizations. In these organizations, volunteer students are supposed to help in arranging and organizing specific organization’s cultural nights. In these cultural nights students also get chance to know each other and learn how to help each other. For example, I was helping the Pakistan Student Association in organizing

This will be my greatest achievement. I have maintained the status of honors or dean’s list every semester since enrolling in the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. I carry a 3.7 GPA and participate in various clubs. This past spring, I participated in events through Titan Volunteer. Our club made dog toys for the humane society, helped install fire alarms with the American Red Cross, and even chaperoned at the local high school dance. I also assist with campus clean-up after major social events. In addition to volunteering, I am an Odyssey Leader; this involves supporting freshmen in their transition to college life and provides a fellow student as resource for questions and information regarding campus. I am vice president of a new campus organization focusing on herbal health remedies and green alternatives for household consumption. In addition to clubs, I plan to participate in this fall’s season for the women’s rugby. Aside from balancing school work and extracurricular activities, I have worked at Georgia Pacific as a student packager and forklift driver the past two years. This job allowed me to save money for a two credit biology course to the Florida Everglades. We created individual field journals full of different species and images. It was the trip of a life-time. I hope to travel more throughout my college career; it is vital to education, especially as an environmental studies major. I believe one must see the world and experience it to truly understand and help

Before reading the Andrew Delbanco book, College: What it Was, Is, and Should Be, my view of Liberal Arts education was positive. A Liberal Arts education consists of a curriculum based in the sciences and humanities while maintaining the freedom to pursue interdisciplinary study. Studying at a university with such a curriculum and freedom can be compared to an all-you-can-eat buffet; the student attending would not need to commit to a single area of study, trapped in confined course-load in one building on campus. Rather, that person could dish a little bit of business, with a side of art history, and a healthy helping of biology onto their academic tray and consume to their heart’s content, scraping the sides of the university in order to

In the article Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy published in the issue of March 2012, Rolling Stones Magazine; the author Janet Reitman speaks with an Dartmouth student, revealing the inside perspective of greek life fraternity.

During the 2015-2016 application cycle, I will be working as a regional director for Sigma Phi Epsilon. This role entails improving the development of collegiate men by providing consultation and educational information to circumvent issues such as sexual assault, hazing, and alcohol abuse at university campuses in California and Nevada. Conversely I am responsible for implementing developmental programs that keep university students accountable for developing mentally and physically outside of the formal scholastic curriculum for all four years of

Hi there. My name is Genevieve (Jenna for short) and I’m proud to say I am a part of CCU’s class of 2019. I come from a small town in the middle of nowhere in Harford County, Maryland. I have two younger sisters, so I’m the first one of the family to tackle this adventure. I’m planning on majoring in communication with a minor in photography. I discovered my passion for writing/business/broadcasting when I was placed into a journalism class in tenth grade. I never thought I’d end up being the business manager and one of many reporters on a staff that created a 20-page newspaper every month for the next three years, and a main anchor on our daily morning announcements.

Being in my third year of Bronx River high school I’ve had the opportunity to be apart of PGC, Peer Group Connection. Our main goal in the organization is to help new freshmen in our school to feel comfortable and safe to open up about any problems going on in school or at home. Recently in the Bronx, there has been a tragic stabbing at a local high school called “Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation”. As a result “Matthew McCree and 16 year old Ariane Laboy were stabbed allegedly at the hands of 18-year-old classmate Abel Cedeno”. Myself and other PGC member facilitated group circle within 45 minutes discussing incidents of violence, both locally and across the country while asking essential questions on how we as students can help

I am a third-year student at Seton Hall University and I am writing to you with great enthusiasm regarding the internship opportunity with the non-profit organization, the National Urban League. I learned about the position during my winter break, as I wanted to use my leadership and interpersonal skills in working for a well-respected organization that dealt with issues that I consider important, which is improving African-Americans lives.

“Is College Doomed?” Reading Response In “Is College Doomed?” Wood describes the new and innovative university known as Minerva. He expresses the large and distinct differences that Minerva has when compared to the ubiquitous average American university and even universities around the world.

In the article, a student in Brookville, NY asks about the behaviors of water—specifically, why it would become a sphere in space when it doesn’t have a shape. The author answers this by giving her a thorough explanation. She states that unlike liquids on Earth, which are content with staying at the “bottom of a glass”, liquids in space react differently in the nearly weightless environment of the space shuttles. Molecules in liquid water are mutually attracted towards one another, but, they do not mind breaking this bond. According to the author, that is the reason liquid water can take the shape of vessel it’s poured into. However, the water molecules at the surface are only attracted to other water molecules below them and sideways to them

Between College Unbound by Jeffrey J. Selingo and the Endicott College Catalog they have correspondence similarities but also contradict each other. Selingo in College Unbound goes off his own opinion that “the field of study is less important than how they acquire knowledge-and the best way is through deep commitment and time on task to one subject, combined with broad exposure to knowledge across the board.” (Selingo, p. 159) The Endicott College Catalog displays that there are several opportunities to take elective classes and to take the required four-year internship program. When you go to Endicott College, you are committed to be a part of the Internship program as well as taking the required classes which include, English, Internship,

I remember vividly about my life semester at Brooklyn College. it was immensely chilly day and unmelted snow called for more break. Everyone at the College seemed already exhausted aside from me. I blew my breath one my freezing hands and walked around the campus vigorously as if I was not freezing at all. My excitement was too high to feel cold weather, but somehow wished the warm would come, glad me and congrats on my very first semester in here!

Over this glorious summer, many children and teens have lost their minds in video games and parties. However, I have done none of that; I have read news articles online. When I was searching for information about NYU, I have found an article from The Atlantic called “The Expensive Romance of NYU”. It talks about how thousands of NYU students are debt just because they want to live in NYC for college. The author uses statistics to prove his view that you cannot justify the cost of the $60,000 a year tuition. He also uses quotes from ex students to validate the fact that it is not worth it. The ex student uses intense words like “romanticized” and “dramatic” to prove that an 18 year old cannot make financial decisions made for adults. I have

After three semesters in HOSTOS I transferred to Brooklyn College and I enrolled in the film program. I will be a

Traditional Criticism uses a biographical or historical approach; it is how the author's life becomes evident in the text and how the author mirrors the struggles of a certain main character. The author Colm Tóibín relates to the main character Eilis Lacey in the novel, Brooklyn as there are similarities between the father figures of both Eilis and Colm. Eilis’s immigrant travels resemble the author Colm’s own immigrant travels and the times that Colm was brought up in was represented in the novel, Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, Eilis mentions that her father passed away, the author Colm Tóibín’s father also passed away when he was 12 years old. The author relates his personal tragedy to Eilis as they both lost their father at a young age. Eilis explains how they did not depend on their father for money. “As their mother's pension was small, they depended on Rose, who worked in the office of Davis's Mills; her wages paid for most of their needs.” (Tóibín 86). This quote shows that much like Tóibín this family depended on the mother for money as they are being raised without a father.
