Yesterday, I went to a protest/die-in at the Towers. Students wanted to express their feeling about the recent police brutality that has been going on across the nation. I’m very proud to be a Panther and be a part of something so powerful. There were some who laughed and looked down at the protestors, but overall, I really saw unity among the university.
R.I.P. Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and many others.
The OMET survey is sent out to students every semester for feedback on their courses. The survey results are provided to the instructor to improve his/her course. A lot of people don’t fill out the survey because they don’t see point; they think that professors ignore their concerns. But, that isn’t completely true! A lot of instructors are concerned about their courses and want the content and their approach to be useful to their students. Take the OMET. You might see these teachers again and if you don’t, you’ll be improving the program for the next group of students! Show the school that you care about your courses and speak up where it counts! I just finished mine! It took less than 10 minutes 🙂
The fall semester’s Social Hours have centered around the many cultures that make up our iSchool. September’s theme was a celebration of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. October’s theme was Oktoberfest. For this month’s Social Hour we partnered with ANKUR-Indian Graduate Student Association to focus on Diwali, the Indian Festival of lights.
In honor of Diwali we decided to challenge students to create Rangoli (Traditional Indian decoration usually created with flowers) with nontraditional materials.
Nontraditional materials = sprinkles and lentils
