Andy Priest’s Middle Twelve: FW419
Middle Twelve Reflection: What I learned from FW 419 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Going into this class I did not know what to expect. Everyone I had talked to said that it was really hard class and don’t expect good grades. They were even more perplexed to find out I had never used the software program essential for the class, ARCGIS. Further, that I had only taken one class in relation to it called intro to geographic info, and it only touched upon GIS. But I was stubborn and thought that GIS would be a great tool for me in the future. When ...
Emily Ries:Co-Cirricular Sharing
My time as an intern for the past two years at Michigan Farm Bureau has allowed me to apply my experience directly to my Learning Vision Statement. My statement includes being involved in the agricultural community, demonstrating leadership, building confidence, and even presenting workshops—my internship helped to fulfill each of these. I learned how to dedicate myself to helping the agricultural industry and community. By working on projects that involve communicating programs to farmers, I learned how to apply my skills learned in classes at Michigan State University directly to my projects at work including writing and design. By attending different ...
Bridget Quigley: PLS422
Refugees and Accomplishing the Seemingly Impossible Taking PLS 422 my junior year was by far the craziest and best decision I've made while being here at State. It was insane because I took a 400 level Political Science seminar lecture that all Poly Sci majors had to take (it was challenging), but I also learned so much about how the UN and ICC work (United Nations and International Criminal Court) and the politics behind refugees. To cap off the class, we wrote our senior year Capstone paper on a topic of our choosing; I decided to focus on Southern Sudanese child ...
Bridget Quigley: SCC 490
Poverty Solutions Taking SCC 490: Global Poverty as a really different experience for me my junior year. Up until that point, most of my classes had been pretty large lectures, and the only time I was in a small group was when/if I had recitation. This class however was very small and therefore gave me a lot of opportunities for discussion with the other people in the class. It was also very different because it wasn't a requirement for COM or any other major, so everyone in the class took it because they wanted to which made for a really neat ...

Leadership Conference by Toby Puuri
This past weekend I spent time in Denver, Colorado learning from some of the most successful and wealthy families in America at an event called Spring Leadership. Every year, 20 different business owners congregate in front of thousands of attendees in four major U.S. cities to share their experiences to help motivate and encourage people like myself. One of the main events was a speech by John C.... [Read more]
