Keeping it nerdy
Written by: Julia | May 14, 2012
I’ve embraced my nerdiness. In procrastinating for my work I remembered a few sites that I had come across before. www.coursera.org and www.udemy.com which are ways to take classes for free (some aren’t free) online (and in the case of coursera–actually get credit for it).

Summer Projects Galore
Written by: Michael | May 14, 2012
This summer is going to be crazy. For one thing, the transition from quarters to semesters means that this summer is going to be short! Secondly, I’m working at a summer camp. That means for the majority of the summer, I won’t have internet access, let alone access to a computer in general. I’ll definitely have some cell service, but that’s besides the point. So one thing I want to focus on this summer is productivity.

Back from my SWE-ekend the middle of nowhere…
Written by: Julia | May 7, 2012
So this past weekend I had the great pleasure of spending my weekend in Hocking Hills for the Society of Women Engineer’s officer transition retreat! We rented this amazing cabin without cell service (and it had dial-up internet…. I can’t even think about that without playing the weird alien noises to connect to it in my head ;p ).
Picture break from hiking! I'm wearing the bright green/yellow in the middle ;)

Back to Square One (sort of)
Written by: Julia S. | April 30, 2012
So I’m going to be overtly honest with you. First, because I promised to, and second, because this is a big part of my Ohio State life that I want to address.

In honor of those glossy folders and the parents with notebooks and high school seniors with a big decision
Written by: Julia | April 30, 2012
Oh, those college tours. The overwhelming amounts of information, but all you really need to know is right here. If you’re torn between here and another school, I dare you. Come to OSU. If you don’t love it, leave (not many people leave). I thought about doing this, and I had a friend who thought about doing this. We’re both still here, and we love it. Our freshman retention rate is RIDICULOUSLY high for a reason. Once people get here, they love it.
If you would like some personal convincing, you can comment and I will let you know why OSU is a great choice for you.
In any case, read on:

And now a second to relax.
Written by: Alex | April 29, 2012
I know I was slacking on the blogging a wee bit the past few weeks because I was swamped with midterms, papers, and possibly anything else you could think of that would take up the rest of my free time. But now I am back and ready to share with you about the most relaxing weekend of my spring quarter. Read the rest of this entry »

Why Race Shouldn’t Matter In The Public Education Setting
Written by: Ana | April 28, 2012
At work the other day, one of my tasks was to compile a spreadsheet of applicants to a certain program of study. I was asked to look up students’ names, colleges within the university, majors/minors, GPAs, and ethnicity/race.
I couldn’t help but ask one of my supervisors–why does ethnicity/race need to be added to this data compilation? The answer I was given was something along the lines of needing to know how many applicants to this program were of one race, how many were of that race, etc. My next question was: why does that matter?
