Edmundson made a good point when he talked about a student party where four students were on cell phones talking about what they were doing at the party to their friends, who in exchange are also at a party talking about how that party is, and which party they might be going to. “And naturally the simulation party is better than the one that they’re now at (and not at)” (Edmundson 4). I find this to be a great point into why Edmondson feel that people are in more than one place, but not fully enjoying the one place that they are in. The statistic that 2,906 students out of three thousand first year student entered Edmondson’s university with laptops, goes to show that more than half population of Edmundson’s university are played into the virtual cyber space instead of lecture. Edmundson describes glancing over to laptop and seeing that a YouTube and e mail opened but nothing on the subject of class.
International as well as domestic students rely on COISO’s events and programs to provide valuable information and experiences that will enhance and enrich their experience at the University of Miami. COISO serves as an umbrella organization for fifteen international student organizations. The organizations allow all our students to actively participate in the diversification of their college experience and to partake in a cultural exchange (learning from and teaching others about various cultures). We assist this process by providing cultural and social activities for all students. Finally, we integrate international students with campus life and the community where possible.
If the Nor’easters can get a reputation as a fun place for college students to go out for a game, they will have great success. The team can also benefit from the collective knowledge of other team General Managers, who have given them valuable information on how to make a minor league team succeed. Some of their tips include making themselves an entertainment business rather than just a baseball team, hosting events such as kids day with bounce houses and becoming a staple for the kids in the local community. The opportunities are great for the Nor’easters and they could potentially see great success if they capitalize on these

Savannah Hobart Claire Sheperis Comp II Section 34 20 Feb. 2013 Positives and Negatives of Greek Life The question that many upcoming freshman is to ”become part of a greek organization or not?” As a member of Zeta Tau Alpha at Mississippi State University I have experienced many of the benefits of being apart of a sorority on an South Eastern Conference university. Greek life is often depicted and usually thought of as a giant party; however, it can create a more stable and structured environment for a college student. Greek organizations were designed to promote leadership, scholarship, and community service on campus in a network of brotherhood and sisterhood (Caron and Moskey, 52). Greek life is a great way for students to meet and
To: Mrs. Eberhard From: Christina Fernandez Date: December 3, 2013 Re: Reflection Memo For the Client Grant project, I along with the rest of my group, “The Plastics,” wanted to use a client on campus that was beneficial to USF’s community. As a group we all decided pretty quickly on The USF Wellness Center located at the heart of campus in the Marshall Student Center. I sent out a brief email to the director of the Wellness Center, Mrs. Jennifer Parker, and followed up with a drop in at her office explaining to her about the Grant Project that we were assigned. A week later I emailed Mrs. Parker again requesting to see if she had any available time to meet with me. Later, that week I found myself speaking to a very enthusiastic woman with a plethora of insight on what to look for in a grant that the Wellness Center may actually use.
At many universities, convocations are held to assemble students and faculty to take part in enrichment as they listen to speakers, view performances and more. Once a year, Morgan State University showcases the work of its tremendously talented students. This wonderful event takes place during the university hour on a Thursday morning in the Murphy Fine Arts Center. This particular convocation is one of Performing Arts following the theme of “Voices and Songs of the Civil Rights Movement”. There were powerfully delivered performances by the Morgan State University Choir, the Morgan State University Dance Ensemble, and Theatre Morgan that portrayed significant messages through art.
Members will get invited to a variety of gathering and social events, where at this time you have the opportunity to meet other students in the field. “With participation in the events members are given some stipend to attend professional conferences in which the club may be able to pay for some or all of their professional conference.” (http://www.csupomona.edu) Being able to attend these social events and developing connections will indeed benefit a student during college as well as potential job
Plus that you are going to play in front of thousands of fans every single night. When you play junior A you will get a great amount of exposure. Pro scouts and college scouts are going to be on the games and watch you play. This can be a good opportunity for you to get a pro contract or a college scholarship. In Sweden we have kind of the same thing, we have a league that calls junior Super Elite, you don´t pay to play and you get free equipment and so on, the different is that we have scouts from junior A teams in United States and pro scouts watching, not college scouts.
