They are in their childhood, despite what one might argue, and they will make mistakes. Young…

The workshop encouraged us to be open-minded and to not make rash assumptions about others without knowing them. The first day of…

Banished words are words or phrases that can be misinterpreted, misused, overused, or otherwise deemed useless. Every year Lake Superior States University releases a list of banished words.

Inspired by words on the Banished Word List, our team was tasked to come up with 10 words which we…

During the Mt. Everest team simulation, we learned quite a bit about what it means to be on a team. When climbing Mt. Everest in both a simulation and in real life you really depend on your team to do what is necessary to reach a goal. This could be a simple personal goal (such as the photographer to stay at camp 1 and 2 an extra night) or a larger goal that is shared by multiple people on the team (the leader and marathoner’s goal of reaching the summit).
