University

Since coming to college, I have noticed that not all majors have an equal representation of both men and women. North Carolina State University is well known for diversity on campus and their attempts to raise awareness but I often feel that gender is often overlooked when diversity is discussed. Engineering has been and still is a male dominated field of study. Women have often been overlooked and seen as incapable of this type of work but in reality this is not true. Since NC State has a very…

incoming University of Connecticut students undergo sexual education, in the summer of 2010, a young woman was raped in her campus residence hall. She reported the rape to the university when the fall semester began, and by October, the university had expelled him and found him responsible (Kingkade). However, two weeks after his expulsion, he approached the young woman in a campus dining hall and informed her that his expulsion was over. The young woman made a complaint to the university, yet…

Throughout my four years at the University of Connecticut I participated in a variety of different one-time service projects known as Community Service Days. For my first year at the university, I was a member of the Community Service Learning Community. As a participant, I was asked to complete thirty hours of community service each semester, a goal that I exceeded each time. To illustrate the types of volunteerism I participated in I have included only several of the many activities I…

clergymen. Within a few weeks, the concept expanded to include a provision for establishing a University. Within two years, the University consisted of the colleges of Liberal Arts and Medicine. The new institution was named for General Oliver O. Howard, a Civil War hero who was both a founder of the University and, at the same time, commissioner of the Freedmen’s…

I believe that the Middle Georgia State University Homecoming Queen and King represents the entire student body through their leadership, courage, strength, and spirit. While there are no grades and zero credits to earn from being a student leader, the experience gained from the role as well as the individuals touched will be valuable for a lifetime. Student leaders hold the unique position for making a difference on campus through creating change, inspiring others, and acting as a support…

University education provides us with skills necessary to achieve a successful future. This successful future can be the either what we always wished for, or the new found interests we have chosen to pursue. Not only is job training a result, but important life skills and finding of a individuals place in the world are achieved at university. At the time of entering this new environment, we leave behind the naïve, inexperienced shelter of our parents and high school friends. Through our newfound…

Campus rape is a major problem at universities across the world. I would like to focus my essay on campus rape, the effects it has on the victims, and how universities deal with campus rape. I find the topic of campus rape to be interesting because of the recent news in the sports world. Over the past weeks, several ESPN shows have talked about the university of Tennessee. The university of Tennessee is being sued by several former female students that claims the university provided an unsafe…

University Hospital I just completed my first year at my current hospital, University Hospital located in Newark, New Jersey. I would say, however, that even in such short time, I have witnessed that the hospital has lived up to its mission “to improve the quality of life for all those we touch through excellence in patient care, education, research, and community service” (University Hospital, 2016). The numerous services provided by University Hospital to the immediate community of Newark…

The History of Gallaudet University Before Gallaudet University was a university, it was an idea that started in 1856, with Amos Kendall. Kendall donated two acres of land from his Washington DC estate to establish a school and housing for twelve deaf students and six blind students. Kendall called this grammar school, the Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind. This school was the first school in the world dedicated to advancing the education of the deaf and…

I recently attended a Liberty University Convocation that really spoke to me while attending College For a Weekend. While I sat in the Vines’ Center seats, I listened to Donald Miller talk about the four kinds of people in a story: the victim, the villain, the hero, and the guide. I personally feel that my trials through life were given to me so I could fulfill the role of a guide in my life and others. My perspective is not commonly found in society today and I have a strong desire in my heart…
