The readings supported the lesson’s we learned each week and were great aid’s in reassessing and advancing components of our plan.…

    Riverview Gardens in Appleton, WI was an interesting place to volunteer for my Civic Engagement experience. I started volunteering at Riverview Gardens last winter after writing about the site for my UW Fox Valley course in Urban Geography. We had learned about “gentrification,” in Urban Geography, which is the process of neighborhood upscaling that results in displacing residents who can no longer afford to live there. Riverview Gardens is an example of gentrification in reverse. Riverview Gardens was once Riverview Country Club, a private 72-acre golf course, which came up for sale in December 2011.…

    Since the 1990s, Canadian public and academic discourse has largely framed young people as apathetic and disengaged from civic life. The perceived lack of civic engagement among youth has led to the proliferation of various programs and initiatives, both state-led and community-based, which aim to overcome and address the perceived issue of young people’s lack of participation (Caron, Raby, Mitchell, Thewissen-LeBlanc, & Prioletta, 2016, pp. 3-4). As Caron et al. (2016, p. 4) note, many of these programs do not seek social or structural changes that young people might want. Nor do these programs aim to understand and act on young people’s self-identified needs.…

    My interest in public relations was sparked in high school with the clubs and activities in which I was involved. Being the head of prom committee and an executive member of the student council, taught me how to plan and execute events. Serving as a student representative on the principal’s council required me to bring the issues of the public to light and find a way to resolve them. In addition, being both and editor and writer for the school newspaper and yearbook required me to always keep up to date on current events. The common thing that was important for all these activities was the ability to communicate with both my superiors and peers.…
