I hope I will not get too many angry comments or emails for writing this post but after spending 4 years at Queens College and seeing how student government elections are run I think that there is a serious need for reform. I am really annoyed at this time of year when I am consistently […]
Queens College
AAPICS history lecture
This is a little late notice but I just wanted to encourage everyone to attend a lecture sponsored by the Asian/American Center at Queens College. This event is part of the AAPICS (Asian American Pacific Islander Community Studies) program’s lecture series on Asian American history. The talk will be given by Dr. John Kuo Wei […]
Courses for Cultural Enrichment
On Wednesday I went with a few other students from Professor McCoy’s English Honors Seminar to watch a production of ”Love is My Sin” at the Duke Theater on 42nd Street. It was an interesting, if not riveting, performance based on an adaptation of Shakespeare’s sonnets. I especially enjoyed the sequence on the theme of […]
2010 Regional Mellon Conference
Today I attended the 2010 Regional Mellon Conference at Hunter College along with the other QC fellows. We all had a chance to present research and received some valuable feedback about how to further develop our studies and some new possible directions we can take. Although we were all pretty nervous I think that in […]
Spring Break Is Over
It was pretty long – more than a week long. But now it’s over. On Tuesday students will once again rush to their classes continuing on wherever they left off the last day before the break, as if there was never any breaks in the first place. There is something magical about th time. It’s […]
Macaulay Honors
Thinking back at some of the things that really shaped and influenced my experience at QC I would have to say that being a part of the Macaulay Honors College ranks somewhere at the very top of that list. This blog post is more targeted towards prospective college students who are thinking about attending QC […]
Resume Boosters
My friends and I have been talking about graduation and the “Future” a lot lately so I thought it would be a good idea to write a post about ways to build up your resume. Although the condition of today’s economy is frightening, especially for recent grads, there are still plenty of things you can […]
Technology as a Tool or a Crutch?
I have been thinking a lot lately about the use of technology in classrooms… It seems to make sense with the student population hyped up on Facebook and Twitter, and the numerous advances being made in high-tech products such as the Kindle and the iPad, to incorporate some of these new tools into the learning […]
institute for recruitment of teachers (IRT)
On Wednesday I attended the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) open house info-session (just for a short while because I had another meeting to run to) but I totally forgot that there was going to an accompanying presentation about the IRT program, which many Queens College students may interested in. IRT stands for the Institute […]
anthropology lecture tomorrow!
One of my fellow Mellons just informed me about a very interesting anthropology lecture that will be taking place tomorrow during free hour. Unfortunately it conflicts with the info-session about the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) so I guess people will have to choose between which one to go to. I just included a description […]
