Campus safety has always been a major priority for most colleges across the country. This unfortunately wasn’t the case for some universities back then. On April 16, 2007, a Virginia tech Senior managed to kill a total of 32 people on campus. Campus safety soon than became an important issue for universities around the nation and the outcome of this incident is best described as a “trigger for the growing number of campus safety resources nationwide”, said by Jill Castellano.

One and five college students experience sexual assault during their college career. Today, one of the most dangerous realities that young adults face is the risk of sexual assault (Colleges, 2016).

Many universities lack stand alone sexual violence policies and instead slot them into a general student code of conduct (Marshall, 2016). It is essential that all post-secondary institutions have a clear process to respond to and address incidents of sexual violence. Universities have more extensive policies…

As all things in life, there is always a beginning. I was first introduced to Full Sail University in 2012. One of my associates mentioned to me he was attending in the fall of 2012. At that time, I lived in New Brunswick, New Jersey. I was attending DeVry University for Multimedia Graphic & Development. I left DeVry University upon finding out my financial aid was displaced due to a class schedule issue. Nonetheless, I moved back to Plano, Texas to where my mother was living at the time. Making…

I make the statement that I am a “driven” individual, I mean that in every aspect of my life. In the realm of athletics and fitness, I knew at the beginning of freshman year that I needed something outside of what the Foresht Lake Academy varsity program had to offer. My internal drive gave me the motivation to go out on my own and train for my first half-marathon, a sport I have been competing in ever since. This motivation has also been present in the academic sector of my high school…

Dublin (Kelly 607). After his death, James Joyce dedicated much of his time to writing poetry and giving lectures. Joyce went on to graduate from University College Dublin in 1902 and then moved to Paris to study medicine. Alex Paton took note on the matter by saying, “[t]he urge to get away from his indigent family and from ‘the soul of that hemiplegia or paralysis which many consider a city’ [is what] drove him abroad” (Paton 636). Joyce needed to get away from both the economy of Dublin and…
