DePaul University

Yesterday I received a letter of dismissal from DePaul school of nursing. I am aware that my grades have been low for the last two semesters in which I take full responsibility. I write this appeal letter to explain the cause and ask you to please consider reinstating me. I wish to state that my poor grades are not due to low ability or not being able to retain the material. Neither was it procrastination to study. Instead, my grades have suffered because I have been trying to juggle between school, work, being a single mother, and family issues. Nursing was a new world to me and I learned spring semester how much dedication it took in order to be successful in this program. When I entered spring semester, I was working 40 hours a week overnight…

Each group depicted above offers a unique aspect of leadership and character building that bolstered myself as a person and built my skyscraper of leadership and character upwards drastically. Furthermore, I aspire to never cease building upon this foundation. Expanding my leadership skills and character are an aspect of life that I believe can be ameliorated daily through our experiences. Granted that, participating in similar and new groups in college is a course of action I will take and…

Dear DePaul Department of Housing Services, I am looking to apply to the Facilities Assistant Position. I have worked with Housing Services before as a Residential Advisor and through that position, I was able to learn about the various duties of Facilities Assistants. I also heard about the opening position through a previous facilities assistant, Jacky Villagomez. I am interested in this position because I have already experienced what it’s like to work with the residents of DePaul’s student…

The philosophy club had a good idea in inviting someone with a different view than the majority of students at DePaul in order to be open about free speech. However, the candidate they chose in this case is probably the most extreme example of conservative that they could’ve possibly gotten. Despite his views being based off of conservative values, Richard B. Spencer takes it to a whole new level. The “alternative right” level. Of course, Richard B. Spencer has the right to believe in what he…

they manage their crammed schedules on such little sleep is beyond me.” Sleep is the body’s way of replenishing with energy extracted throughout the day after straining itself to work physically and mentally. Simply, sleep is the bodies time to shutdown and relax. Sacrificing sleep to crank out that homework assignment leaves students dragging throughout the day, struggling to keep eyes open, thus affecting performance. While it suggested to get eight hours, this isn’t a reality for most…

What has Brian Grover done in his term to make not only the Lambda Omega Chapter better, but also others, as well as himself? To first address the least important part of this I will touch on myself. Outside of Sigma Chi I have actively involved myself in a lot of different ventures outside of Sigma Chi. The past two years I have spent my time serving as a Egenius for the Business Communications as I recommended by our Faculty Advisor Joel Whalen. Additionally, I have spent my time working with…

in the university setting because some goals will require additional funding, such as hiring well published professors and other goals will take time, such as entry and exit evaluation to show student knowledge levels. Overall, setting and achieving goals in higher education is a difficult feat. Some colleges and universities believe that they need to be the best in order to attract the best students. Defining what “the best” is in the college setting and how…

My journey to Concordia began at a show for Tyler Oakley in Kalamazoo Michigan. There my mom met a woman who had went and worked at Concordia Ann Arbor and mentioned that all the Concordias are awesome schools to go to. As they talked more about all of the things that Concordia Ann Arbor has to offer she said there was also one in Chicago. That is how I came to the discovery of Concordia University Chicago. I first visited Concordia Ann Arbor and fell in love with the campus. It is situated…
