The Christ on Campus Initiative exists to inspire students on college and university campuses to think wisely, act with conviction, and become more Christ-like by providing relevant and excellent evangelical resources on contemporary issues. We aim to distribute resources—prepared by top evangelical scholars, pastors, and thinkers—that are intellectually rigorous, persuasive in argument, appealing in tone, and consistent with historic evangelical Christianity.

  • WEST Sidemartin Drive
    Approximate boundaries: N-W. Vliet St; S-W. Martin Dr-W. Highland Blvd; E-N. 35th St; W-Wisconsin Hwy 175 WEST SIDEMartin Drive NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION Comprising little more than a square half mile in size, Martin Drive is tucked away between the Olmstead-designed Washington Park to the north and Historic Miller Valley to the south. It’s chiefly one-way streets are tree-lined, and many of the homes are duplexes. Both Highland Boulevard and Martin Drive are winding streets. Due to its small size, the neighborhood has only one commercial corridor and this is on Vliet Street. HISTORY Much of the small Martin Drive neighborhood was developed in the 1920s. Unlike the elite areas on nearby Highland Boulevard, this became a working class neighborhood. Workers living in Martin Drive had several large employers nearby, including Harley Davidson, Miller Brewery, and the Transport Company. Other industrial employers were just a few blocks away in the Menomonee Valley. Bordered by the sprawling Washington Park to the north, residents had quick access to picnic areas, programs, and the county’s zoo. Many could stop to observe all the outdoor animals on their way to work or school. Much changed during the era of freeway building, when I-41 cut into Washington Park and the zoo was relocated to the far west side of Milwaukee. Many homes were also lost on 47th Street between Vliet Street and Juneau Avenue. The neighborhood became even smaller, but did not lose its cohesiveness. Early populations The early population of Martin Drive was almost totally German.

  • The 'Nirbhaya' Movement: an Indian Feminist Revolution Garima Bakshi
    'Nirbhaya' Movement The 'Nirbhaya' Movement: An Indian Feminist Revolution Garima Bakshi In December 2012, New Delhi witnessed a horrifc crime – a female medical student was violently gang-raped on a moving bus and then dumped onto the highway, injured and unconscious. While she didn’t survive the attack, Nirbhaya, as she was named by the media, sparked a revolution in India and its neighboring countries. Tis paper delves into the many aspects of the movement, examining it as a whole by drawing on the theories of Castells, Jenkins, Papacharissi, and Sundaram. It examines the protests that took place on digital forums which then transcended onto the streets, the afective nature of the movement, and international responses it elicited. Garima Bakshi is a Master's candidate at New York University's Media, Culture, and Communication department. Her research focuses on the intersections between feminism, youth movements, and creative protest in South Asia. gnovis • 43 Volume 17, Issue 2 •Spring 2017 n the night of December 16, 2012, protestors took to candlelight vigils and medical student Jyoti Singh and her peaceful demonstrations at India Gate, friend Avanindra Pandey, looking eventually leading to a change in criminal Ofor transportation home, boarded a private laws, and the setting up of a fast track court bus in South Delhi.

How they reach for something that is deep inside themselves to share with us? I’ve always admired those who leave nothing on the table and give it their all. The same is true with sports.
