This PSU site designed specifically for PSU students sheds light on the reality of current students’ financial situations and connects them to the resources, classes, and organizations that will prepare them for a life […]
Advocacy Project Partners
The potential partners for this project are PSECU and/or Robinhood. Within both of their companies, each one has specific departments dedicated to helping college students become acclimated to their services. Each organization knows that they are likely to be who is introducing students to services such as credit/debit cards or stock portfolios, so they already […]
Issue Brief Outline
Exordium (beginning) Is Two Parties Enough? As we all know, the two party style of America’s political system inherently promotes the idea that one party is the winner and must capitalize on their opportunity in office while the losing party must oppose the winning party so that they will not lose too much progress from […]
Deliberation Reflection:
This past Thursday I attended a deliberation in the Fraser Street Commons about educating children and young adults with special needs (both mental and physical) titled “Educate Me: Providing Equitable Education for Children with Special Needs”. When I first arrived, I was shocked by their turn out. I showed up just before the event began […]
Ideas for Podcast and Civic Issues Blog
This I Believe: My first idea that I have for the This I Believe podcast is to discuss my opinions behind the evolution of social media. As teenagers, this topic hits very close to home for most, if not all, of us. While all social media can be used in positive ways, and seeing as […]

Kurt Russell is a better Herb Brooks than Herb Brooks

I tried using bold and italics to help organize everything. Intro Hook– hockey related / inspiring about the team’s situation (Great moments […]
How does Rhetoric? Why is Civic? First two weeks of RCL in review…
We came to PSU not knowing the difference between CAS and RCL, and, if you’re like me, you still don’t know. At least we’ve had some interesting discussion in our class so far! What a first week of school it’s been, and Section 003 has already gotten right into the swing of things. We’ve already […]
