Vandy Arts!
Mar. 31, 2014—This semester has been an awesome example of how Vanderbilt keeps its students in touch with up-to-date professionals in their field, particularly in the arts! Everyone knows about Vanderbilt's contributions to football and academics, but hardly anyone knows about its awesome theatre department! This year they brought in many new features that I have been able to work with, and I wanted to share some of those stories with y'all!
Inside the Course: B&W Film Photography
Mar. 30, 2014—Welcome to the second installment of “Inside the Course” where I give you an in depth look at a Vanderbilt course I’m currently taking. Today’s course is one I highly recommend: Arts 120: Introduction to B&W Photography. In high school, I took AP 2D Design and focused my work around photography–it’s something I’ve always enjoyed....
Congratulations 2018’s (and some unsolicited advice)
Mar. 29, 2014—Vanderbilt chose you, but why should you choose Vanderbilt? And a little congratulatory ego-boost with love from your (hopefully) fellow Commodore. PS that featured photo was my first ever VU instagram from my visit last April. #loveatfirstsight
A Whole New World
Mar. 28, 2014—On May 4th 2014, I will be making a once in a lifetime trip to the country of Bolivia where I will spend four weeks shadowing and learning the intricacies of rural and community health care.
That One Time I Started a Small Fire
Mar. 27, 2014—Something that happens when you live in a place where you can't stand to loiter outside is that many of your hobbies are replaced by eating. You see, the fabulous thing about food is that it can be enjoyed indoors. Where there is no snow. I digress.
A French Concert, Oh Là Là!
Mar. 27, 2014—This evening I had the delightful experience of attending a concert at Sarratt Cinema with my French 102 class, including my professor and her husband. The feature was Genticorum, a three-man band from Québec.
Inside the Course: Advertising Studio
Mar. 22, 2014—You may remember my blog post earlier this semester about all of my courses. Well, I'd like to tell you some more specifics about one of my courses in a new series I'm starting called "Inside the Course." We'll see if it actually turns into a series, but basically I'm going to give you the inside look at exactly what I do in some of my classes here at Vanderbilt.
Ethical Service
Mar. 18, 2014—Ethical service––sounds redundant, right? Actually, there’s a lot that can go wrong when we try to do service without first being educated. This is the model adopted by both Alternative Spring Break and the Office of Active Citizenship and Service. In particular, for my most recent seminar in preparation for my trip to South Africa...
The Final SPOTS: Chicago
Mar. 17, 2014—I'm still alive, promise. They make you think second semester senior year is going to be this blissful stress-free moment in your life where you have all the free time in the world to blog, but boy are "they" wrong! That being said, this semester is busy in the most wonderful of ways--but more on that later. First, let me catch you up on my spring break!
