Taking a Look at Darwin College

Throughout my reading on the article by Kinchen there were many new and great findings brought to my attention. I had never knew anything about the history of Edward Waters College or really heard about it. She opened my view and understanding of what this schools history was all about. I found out about many opportunities of the school back then when it was first instituted with all women. This school was opened to set slaves free and become educated from their previous lifestyles they had gone through. During my reading, Kinchen displayed various of themes and points she came across overtime while experiencing at Edward Waters. In this paper I will be gladly to talk about some of them and what she tried to convey.

Words cannot express how much I valued working with the City of Anaheim as a Senior Recreation Leader over the past year and a half. However, time has limited my availability and unfortunately I cannot dedicate myself to the City of Anaheim any longer. I am, therefore resigning from my post as a Senior Recreation Leader on 8 September 2017 and providing a two weeks’ notice with my last working day being 22 September 2017.

AIMCO initiated an estimated $120 million redevelopment project upgrading the property. However, unlike Coreplus, the targeted market does not include students. Instead the focus is on an increased share of urban professionals and “displaced urbanites” (Developmental Strategies. (2015, p. 60). The suspected strategy will reduce the cycle of academic year turnover and its associated expenses as well as the general issues associated with college age youths. AIMCO indicate that market “rents [were] above underwriting” (AIMCO, 2016) expectations with 600 SF studio starting at $1,800 and 1400 SF 3-bedrooms peaking at $3,600 (Park Towne Place Premier, 2016). This was clearly a bold move in the wake of rising vacancies nationally in higher-end metropolitan units given the seemingly built-in student base, but time will tell.

The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

“They sell college like soap, promoting features they think students want: innovative programs, an environment conducive to meaningful personal relationships, and a curriculum so free that it doesn’t sound like college at all” (Bird 36 – 39).

In 2009, Centenary College in Shreveport, La, audaciously cut half of its 44 majors after the endowment dropped by 20 percent. Many can feel repercussions in many different ways. Although people were affected, the college made the correct decision to cut those classes.. Also, there is truth in the statement, “And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy. Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe…” (Bradbury), and it can be reflected in The Death of Liberal Arts by Nancy Cook.

Girton lies furthest north of any Cambridge college, about a 20-minute bike ride away from the city centre. The far-flung location provides an idyllic haven far away from the hustle and bustle of central Cambridge. It has impressive facilities, including on site playing fields and indoor swimming pool. Little wonder the sporting teams do well with no travelling time invading training sessions.

An organization that I am involve in right now is Serve. Serve is a part of my church where I watch the children on Sundays. The purpose of Serve is to provide ministry for the young children, we would provide songs, playtime and snacks for them. The children are able to do arts and crafts, play with toys and listen to Bible lessons. After doing a little research on my church I found out that Vertical Church Vision Statement is "to be a multicultural and multigenerational life-giving church that welcomes unchurched people." Vertical church mission is "to reach people with the life-giving message of Jesus so that they can become fully devoted followers of Him." Yes Serve is doing the things that it needs to do to achieve its vision and mission

Currently, my financial situation has left me feeling very constrained. Due to the workload and need to fully immerse myself in my studies, I am unable to work a full time or part time job. That is not to say that it is impossible, but I have spent my entire adult life striving for the best when it comes to academia. Seven years ago, I finished my studies at the University of Toronto and Sheridan (it was a joint BA/Diploma program) for Art and Art History. I spent the first two years balancing school life and a part-time job, and while my grades were above average, they did not reach the standard I had set for myself. Once I made the decision to only work during the summer breaks, and completely devote the rest of the year to school, my

In August 2014, prevalent female rap artist Nicki Minaj released the platinum hit single titled “Anaconda”. This song had a notable difference from the rap song “Look at Her Butt” which was released by Sir Mix-A-Lot in 1992. In her song, Nicki placed importance on the sexualized female body from a female perspective. Through Minaj’s song, it can be read as an interruptive declaration championing women’s’ self-esteems, body, confidence, and sexual agency. “Anaconda” contains deeper connotation beyond provocation and innuendo. It silences the white patriarchal construction of black female bodies as expendable sexual objects. This analysis recognizes problematic constructions of race, gender and the body within society and how they are

As with many colleges there was no master building plan, but a haphazard development around the original E-shaped, Basil Champney’s red brick designs constructed between 1873 and 1913 – the first World war bringing an end to this phase of building. Basil was at Trinity at the same time as founder Sidgwick and when he failed to get a first, he turned his attention to

I chose the campus clean-up as my service reflection paper topic. The Hinds honors students did the clean up through the Hinds Community College Honors Institute. Everyone who is attending the Hinds Community College Raymond campus and visitors benefitted from the honors students cleaning up the campus. I would also benefit from cleaning up the campus because I knew that I played a part in making the Raymond campus beautiful and because it made me feel safer being on campus. I say that I feel safer because I didn’t want to step in anything nasty at all nor would I want to smell something terrible while making my way to my classes. We picked up trash that was riddled throughout the campus and we recycled aluminum cans, plastic bottle, and some cardboard products. My main goal by doing this was to keep Hinds Community College in Raymond a safe, clean, and beautiful.

Oxford looks forward to welcoming students from every kind of background, so it provides large array of sources for financial assistance including hardship funding, scholarships, prizes and awards to fund your education.

There I am, a sublime, 11-story building without gilded decoration. Though it is a public building of the university, everything was on my own routine. Taps are always in by-the-way convenience, filling up my half-worn bottle with limpid water that taste a subtle sweetness. An empty classroom was available halfway up the building, where I settled down in a seat near the window so that the reminiscent nature was still within reach.
