A “student athlete” is a participant in an organized

difficult to discuss these changes without sounding pompous or self-righteous, but I’ve come to find a great joy in reflecting on where I came from and where I stand today. I never expect to actually attend college let alone fall in love with a university that gave me more than just an education. My mother had grown very sick and I was too scared to think about moving away from her. The last five years were spent taking care of her and being there whenever she needed me. I felt like it was my job

academically, but also mentally. It is necessary to note that some institutions already have some activities and events in place that are devoted to acknowledging people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. One example of such events is Michigan State University’s Global Festival.

This event celebrates both our diversity

Michigan Tech Volleyball Game The ball whipped through the air, echoing through the gym like the snap from a leather whip. Lauren, our libero,had served. I glanced at the flashing scoreboard and winced at the score: 21-23. The other team had received the ball and were ready to set their outside hitter. Their hitter made a lightning fast approach and the ball spun through the air over to our side, aimed right at me. This was my first volleyball camp at Michigan Tech University this summer and I

Michigan is a bottom 10 state in education performance, according to one key recent measure. The state’s fourth-graders fell to 41st from 38th in the National Assessment of Education Performance reading test; other grade levels and subjects posted similarly dismal results. While other states are making some progress in improving education quality, Michigan is stagnant. And don’t think the numbers are skewed by poor-performing urban school districts — suburban students also lag behind, with just

any stage of the writing process and “make better writers not just better papers”. Schools and universities alike have similar centers where people can come to advance their skill set. Similar to Berlin High School, universities use writing centers to help their students advance their writing. Colleges such as the University of Connecticut, the University of Rhode Island, and Michigan State University all have various techniques that could be applied to our writing center.

Zuny Jamatte is finally a senior at Widener University. It has been a long time coming, she’s had to jump through hoops to get to where she is today. She is originally from Wilmington, DE and first attended University of Delaware in the fall of 2014 as a University Studies major. She took some classes and eventually decided to declare her major as Computer Science. As it turned out, coding was not an enjoyable way to spend her time and decided that Computer Science was not for her. Unfortunately

My time at Michigan State University, so far, has been more than I could have hoped for. I’ve celebrated personal and academic victories. I’ve had the opportunity to attend every home football game with the Spartan Marching Band. Attended a victorious B1G Ten Championship game. Attended the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl and have more friends than any other time in my life. While sometimes it can be stressful to be a college student—managing due dates, social events, working, and maintaining focus away

semester of college at Central Michigan University, I arrived on the Friday before classes started which is commonly known as “Welcome Weekend” around campus. Coming into it I really didn’t know what to expect from college, I was really nervous about meeting my roommates and having to communicate with them. I had been friends with the same 6 people for the past 5 years and moving on into a new environment where I knew no one was pretty daunting. I live in Livonia Michigan it’s about 20 minutes out from
