Campus Martius: Where are we going? Campus Martius is an important gathering place in the heart of Detroit. More importantly, it is the signature place for Detroit’s major events. Detroit Free Press writer Zlati Meyer states that Campus Martius helps revitalize the city of Detroit by getting people outside and enjoying their city and generating new business, restaurants and cafes (Meyer). With the park undergoing constant renovations such as adding new street side restaurants and creating new events for the park, Campus Martius hopes to bring the city together and rejuvenate the city of Detroit economically. Campus Martius was not always known as the gathering place, in the 1780s it served as a militia training (Beasely). After a fire in 1805 which fire severely damaged the park, Campus Martius was renovated but despite all the renovations the park underwent, it still did not have the same features as it did today.

However, in the early 2000s a nonprofit organization (PPS) renovated the park and reopened the park in November of 2004 (Beasely). As I visited Campus Martius on November 12th for the first time I…

The city of Rome is constantly attacked by the Volscians in Corialanus, defended by the plebeians, praised by its people and feared by its enemies. Rome is symbolic of the characters Corialanus and Julius…
What more is there to ask for? When you think of a college campus library you think of kids studying in their individual cubbies trying to cram in all the knowledge they possibly can before a test or because they just want good grades in general. In some cases that 's true at Siena, but when I asked the four students if they used the library none of them had the same answer. Maria said she only will use the library if her friends sit with friends so usually she studies in her room, Olivia and…

The theory of dramatism can be applied to a myriad of settings and events in one’s life, but one that I can see very evident is my role as a resident assistant.
