Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

After contemplating, I narrowed down the search between two colleges, The University of Wisconsin River Falls, The University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. After considerable research on both of the colleges, and after weighing many factors, I came to the decision that The University of Wisconsin Eau Claire is best for me. Academic Program To begin my analysis, I compared the academic programs at the two schools. The major difference in the academic programs at the two schools is that River Falls does not offer a software engineering degree, only a general computer science degree. Eau Claire, on the other hand, offers both a software engineering degree along with a computer science degree. At this point, I feel as if a computer science degree would better suit my needs, so this is not a large determining factor. The UWRF website summarizes their computer science program by stating that the program will gives students a basic understanding…

On my sixteenth birthday, I realized how fleeting all of the things I thought were permanent could be. I had no doubt in my mind that I was going to be living in Valdosta, Georgia up until college, which was neither good nor bad. I didn’t want to stay in Valdosta until leaving became a real possibility. Early in the first semester of my sophomore year of high school my mom broke the news to me. My mom came and sat on my bed with me after I got home from school. I remember how surprised I was to…

I hope all is well with you Emily. I talked with you over the last couple of month. I was having a hard time with the College of Western Idaho meeting my Reasonable Accommodations. I eventually got that worked out but it did not make me feel good going there anymore so I decided to transfer to a bigger school Boise State University because I thought that they would have more resources to accommodate me; I was wrong. Speaking to you put my heart at ease on the legal definitions and I could tell…

Going to the Mint Museum by far has been my favorite outing because I have never been to an art museum before and it was very interesting to learn about the artist featured there and their artwork. One painting stood out the most to me during our time at the Mint Museum. I believe this painting depicts my journey through life and how my mom has been the backbone for my family and me. It…

26. The Blue Devils have surprised many of us the last three years, posting an above .500 record and appearing in a bowl each season. The Blue Devils have reach four consecutive bowl games and prior to Duke’s bowl appearance in 2012, the last time the program had went bowling was 1994. The Hoosiers got off to a hot start this season, winning their first four four games over lackluster competition. Indiana, however, struggled when conference play began by losing their first six Big Ten games.…

The American Association for the Advancement of Physical Education was formed in 1885 and the Amateur Athletic Union was founded three years later. A conference on physical training was held in Boston in 1889. Three years later Ohio passed a mandatory physical education law, to be followed by Wisconsin (1897), North Dakota (1899), Pennsylvania (1901), Michigan (1911) and Idaho (1913). Between 1915 and 1925, 21 more states passed laws enforcing different levels of physical education in schools.…
