Wellesley 100 Analysis
The 100th piece of the “Wellesley 100” was, indeed, the most important part of Wellesley: the truly unique and diverse student body that can be found nowhere else. The picture of the wildly shouting students is so vividly captured that they pass their heating passion on to me across the page. I could picture myself among the very different yet united community, swept by the fervor, cheering and shouting “Go Blue!” The intimacy with the talented and dedicated women from around the world makes up one of the most special experiences available at Wellesley college, provided through the loud singing of class songs, dressing up in house colors, and finding new family and home at Wellesley. The intimacy with the talented and dedicated women from around

    The following is a response paper to the text “The Master’s Tool Will Never Dismantle The Master’s House”, by Audre Lorde, an African American lesbian feminist. She was also a writer who fought in the Civl Rights Movement. This text was written in 1984, eight years before her death and it was an essay answering to an event that took place in a conference in New York. The essay analyzes the role of minorities in the Academia and reflects about the concept of sorority and intersectionality in feminism. One of the points of the text that I found most interesting was her claim that sorority and the bonds created between women are the only way for empowerment.…

    Charlene Teters Thesis

    “Its was really frightening to find ourselves in this place where they ridiculed and humiliated Native people so openly, and so unchallenged for so many years. This prejudice seemed so invisible and unnoticed by anyone, even other people of color that these caricatures didn’t seem to be out of the norm”(Charlene Teters). When Charlene questioned what was going on to the people whom had recruited to she was told “you can;t do anything about it so just keep your mouth shut, get your degree, and then get out of here”, which at the time for Charlene this seemed to be the best option because with a population of 36,000 students she felt overpowered and voiceless. Since there was no Indian population there was nobody to challenge what was occurring through the University. She felt that since she arrived their her presence challenged the prejudice. The presence of her and the other two Native Americans was challenging the stereotype that the people around them believed to be…

    As an alumna of prominent educational institutions – Ladies’ College and Mount Holyoke College – I consider myself fortunate to be a part of a community of women who are invested in the personal and professional development of each other. Over the years, the resources afforded to me through these institutions have played a critical role in supporting my intellectual and personal growth. At Mount Holyoke College, conversations with fellow students enabled me to develop a cosmopolitan view of the world; be it through debates on intersectional feminism at the dinner table or collaborations to form social movements on campus, my interactions with this intellectual community of women have been influential in shaping my identity as a scholar and a citizen of the world. Moreover, the enduring relationships I have formed with alumnae, have informed my belief on the importance of female mentorship. These relationships’ have cemented my conviction of the need to build stronger connections between students and alumnae and prompted my active engagement in the Sri Lankan chapter of the Mount Holyoke Alumnae group, as well as the Ladies’ College Old Girl Association. My role as assistant coach for the Ladies’ College debate team is reflective of…

    When I first came to Silver Lake College I didn’t know what to expect. All I knew about the school was that it was a private catholic liberal arts college. At that time I never gave any though to what “liberal arts college” meant. Now that I’ve been at Silver Lake for two years and had liberal art classes, I have a better understanding of what a liberal arts education is and how it can make a difference in a person’s life. This synthesis paper will allow me to express my experience thus far with the liberal arts and summarize goals that I’ve set and achieved during my undergraduate program. I will also be able to summarize my service…

    Out of all the assumptions about what makes a college a successful college, I believe the value of college is not solely based off of the cost or graduation rate, but it’s value is reflected by the students’ efforts and the life lessons learned. After reading the articles, Why I’m not afraid of Virginia Woolf -- of the, ‘crisis’ in the humanities by Anne E. Fernald, The Crisis in the Humanities and the Corporate Attack on the University by P. Winston Fettner and College is not a commodity. Stop treating it like one by Hunter Rawlings, I began to understand more about other perspectives of college that have broadened my understanding of higher education.…

    My love affair with Mount Holyoke began quite innocuously, as many loves do. Exactly two years ago I received some mailings from the college—I originally began liking the school because of my intended major. However, in the last two years, I have found all the more reasons to deepen my adoration of Mount Holyoke College. The liberty of a liberal arts education will not only allow me to focus on my intended major but will also allow me to broaden my horizons to discover new areas of interest. My academic career at Mount Holyoke will be a drastic change from my high school career. Studying at Mount Holyoke College would be similar to discovering new land. I would arrive with purpose: the study of language will be my Plymouth Rock, my joy, but…

    On May 22, 1983, Ursula K. Le Guin delivered a commencement speech to the graduating class of Mills College in Oakland, California, the first women’s college west of the Rocky Mountains (Graveline). Le Guin took an unusual approach to this commencement speech, focusing her words on the controversial topic of gender equality. This speech not only empowered the women of her graduating class, but also highlighted the extreme differences in the qualities of women compared to men with her use of rhetorical appeals and rhetorical devices.…

    Ave Maria University is known as a prestigious institution of learning. Each and every young adult has the right to learn. This brings me back to the times when I was given the opportunity and pleasure to mentor grade school students in the sport of baseball. I took this opportunity to not only teach them the fundamentals of the sport, but I was also blessed with learning compassion and patience from these young enthusiastic learners. This opened a door for me to go on to mentoring underprivileged students at the University of Illinois at Chicago campus. This touched me so much that it would be an honor while attending Ave Maria University, to get involved in mentoring and volunteer work on campus and within the community. My academic career choice is aimed at giving back. It would be a privilege to study here, especially for students like myself, whose careers may take them anywhere. A degree with your institution is sure to open doors and opportunities for me, regardless of where I am.…

    I am going to tell you a little about my past semester at Bridgewater College well for starters one factor that may have contributed to my failure for studying effectively was that I was helping my mother whenever I came back home for breaks since she had breast cancer and since my mother is currently not working at this moment in time it is a bit difficult for me to continue my education on my own without financial help. Another reason is that I had just recently buried my grandmother who had passed away from pneumonia the week before finals. If I get the opportunity to come back this semester I will try every new tactic thrown my way to help me understand the material which is given to me and relate it to questions that I think my professors…

    Higher education has a history full of exciting firsts. Many of these firsts involve the women, specifically the first women receiving medical degrees. These women of the past paved the way for the women of today, allowing them to pursue endless opportunities in education. It was these woman of the past who bravely overcame the expectations and doubts of those around them who have allowed equal education opportunities for women today. Some of these women were Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, Dr. Rebecca Crumpler, and Dr. May Edward Chinn. By examining these women’s actions and writings, we gain a better understanding of how far higher education has come, particularly for women, and we see that without them, society would not be nearly as equal or advanced today.…

    I had been looking forward to the event since before I even started attending Marist. I felt like I have been getting closer and closer to finding my identity as a Marist student and the importance of having pride for being Afro- Latina at Marist. Mon Afrique was one of the best events I have ever attended in my life and has made me excited to see what’s in store for my next three years at Marist. Going to such a close minded school helps me even more to see the brighter side to the future of Marist. It also inspires me to promote change and equality for all students. Identifying as Afro- Latina has it pros and cons especially at a school like Marist. On the one hand, you will always stand out, be given opportunities that you wouldn’t be given otherwise, and you help diversify on the school. On the other hand, you struggle to fit in, act as if certain looks don’t deceive you, and have to deal with the un-educatedness of shallow, close-minded people. As if it isn’t hard enough already just to understand who you are as a being in terms of personal identity. Somehow, someway I managed to feel connected to Marist through the cultural events I attended. It allowed me to see that I have the power to make the change I want to see happen on this campus. I have the power to make people understand understand personal identity in a way that will truly make them reevaluate their entire life. Even in writing this paper, is a start to change on this campus, my campus. All of the events I attended, in general have made me a better person and student representation for minority group, but most importantly have allowed me to understand more of what being Afro- Latina is all about so that I can spread…
