Juniors – be prepared to be popular! This spring, you will begin to receive mail from colleges and universities from across the country. Be thinking about how to organize the information you receive. Here are a few things to consider. 1. Develop a system that meets your needs and suits your personality. If you aren’t a file cabinet-type of person now, don’t expect to become one over-night. Use folders, boxes, crates – whatever works to keep you organized. MORE> |

“Service
Learning” is a phrase you will come to know as you explore The
Colleges of Distinction. Service Learning experiences allow students
to apply what they are learning in the class room to projects that
benefit communities. Recent Service Learning projects at Chaminade
University in Honolulu, HI, have included Project SHINE
(Students Helping in the Naturalization of Elders) in which students
tutor the elderly in English and civics in preparation for
citizenship, and the Palolo Pipeline, in which they tutor and mentor
students at local schools. Other examples include helping the
homeless fill out tax forms, teaching students who are in jail about
the legal system, socializing with disabled or special-need young
adults, replanting native Hawaiian trees in the Waianae Mountains of
the Nature Conservancy's Honouliuli Preserve, writing newsletters
for Hawaii not-for-profit organizations, and writing biographies of
Marianist brothers for the Marianist Biography
Project. At DePauw
University in Greencastle, IN, students experience Winter Term.
During Winter Term, students can take an intensive, seminar course
on campus, intern in Washington DC, or spend the month in London,
exploring museums and taking in theatre productions. These are just
a few examples of the “term” programs offered at The Colleges of
Distinction. |
