Recommended: College recruitment strategy

I visited Tulane in December of 2016. The day was cold and dreary and gray and wet, and I was exhausted after our six hour schlep from my town of Denton and a mildly boring tour through Rice University. Tulane had been on my radar since the first wave of colleges began to court me. It stood out as a very good school in a very good location, with some interesting degree plans and quite a bit of spunk. I was intrigued. But once I stepped foot onto the campus and saw this massive tree dripping with Mardi Gras beads, I was enamored. In particular, what really stood out to me was how warm the campus was on such a raw day. The staff treated me as one of their own, the tour guides seemed to know the school like the back of their hands and could

  • Personal Statement For Deaf Education

    1174 Words  | 3 Pages

    The CSUN campus was amazing. I was able to expand my knowledge of topics that interested me like Deaf literature, Deaf history, ASL linguistics, etc. In addition, I was offered positive Deaf spaces, I was able to meet new and diverse people (teachers, students and other faculty) and I could attend fantastic workshops with speakers that talked about unique subjects such as international sign language, the Deaf Art Movement and the Deaf community in Europe during WWII. Aside from the Deaf Studies program, I was allowed to explore other areas that have always interested me and added to my education. This was becoming a part of the Jewish Studies program. That experience resulted in a scholarship, an internship at a Jewish Community preschool and a trip to Poland. What made CSUN unique was not only the opportunities it gave me as a student but that the Deaf Studies program focused on education in culture. This meant explaining and exploring intersectionality between communities, understanding privilege and how people can identify themselves in this world. I can’t imagine receiving these experiences anywhere

    My first two weeks on campus were great. When I first walked on to the campus, it felt very foreign like I was in another country. I didn’t feel connected yet and still felt like a visitor. Most of the time I didn’t know exactly where I was going and of course, I didn’t want to look like a freshman. Eventually, I did find where I was going, after going to Cajun connection.

  • UNCW Personal Statement

    224 Words  | 1 Pages

    The main component I look for in college is their commitment to further my studies. I feel this college will provide an ingenious culture within the science field, therefore rendering myself with the building blocks necessary to later pursue the medical field. Not only does UNCW devote itself towards their student’s undergraduate years, but also by providing Professional pathways such as Pre-Medicine, students such as myself can go into Professional schools better prepared. In addition to my interest in the academics the school has to offer, I also marvel at the amount of extracurricular activities available to the student body. One student organization in particular is the Greek Life. When my mother attended this school, she was an avid member

  • The Banana Kings Legacy

    Zemurray lived in New Orleans in the 1940s, and he had a grand mansion in Audubon Place near Tulane University and across from the famous Audubon Park. “When Zemurray died, he left it to Tulane. It’s been the official residence of the university president since the 1970s, a place of fundraising and galas”(Cohen123-124). Even though Zemurray never went to Tulane University, he gave Tulane his beautiful mansion. My friend’s father actually was raised in this Tulane home in the 70s, and I had the privilege to speak to him about his past home. “I grew up in this home, but I never knew the history of Zemurray, or the history behind the house, or how the mansion came into Tulane's possession”(Kelly). The impact Zemurray had is so unsubstantial he is barely even remembered today.

  • Choosing UNF: A Pathway to Criminal Justice

    The second I stepped onto the campus, I knew that it was where I wanted to be and I felt like I was at home. The atmosphere felt friendly and family-like, the campus and the surrounding area was beautiful, academics are amazing, and the athletics and their facilities are great. The most appealing of these factors to me was the outstanding criminal justice program. This really caught my eye because my long-term goal after college is to work in the criminal justice field as a criminal investigator or a crime scene investigator. Not only does UNF have a great criminal justice program with outstanding professors that were, at one point, in the criminal justice field, but they also have great ties with the FBI and Jacksonville Sheriffs Office,
