Your source. Your story. Some of you may know that, here at The Collegiate, we publish a magazine every semester. As usual, we are confident that this is our best work as a Vol. 3, No. 2 Winter Semester 2015 class. Sean P. Mulhall Jonathan D. Lopez Last semester, I said that issue of the magazine had the best participation yet Editor-in-Chief Photo Editor and I think we surpassed that again this semester. Jacquelyn Zeman Chris Powers Chief Web Editor Layout Editor For the sixth edition of magazine, we thought we would try something new. Kayla Tucker Michael Julien In the past, we just told the staff to write about whatever they wanted and A&E/Features Editor Multimedia Editor it worked out for the most part. The magazine would usually reflect the diversity of the students in the class and on campus in general. Stories about Zachary Watkins Hannah Cluley relationships, stress, sports, traveling, going green, DIY projects and many Sports Editor Advertising Manager other topics usually filled the pages. Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood Collegiate Adviser One thing we never tried was to have every student follow the same theme. This semester we did just that and the theme was, “How do you live your best On the cover life?” GRCC answers, “What are you grateful for?” We didn’t really expect to find a concrete answer, but used the question more Photo by Jonathan D. Lopez as a guide when thinking of what to write about. This question was also part of the inspiration for a special project this semes- ter, another first for us. The Collegiate partnered with Hospice of Michigan on a service learning project, as a part of the Armen Awards competition. Out of this partnership, a special edition magazine was produced along with a video that reduces me to tears every time I watch it. The stories were used in this issue as well and they, along with the video, and whole package can be found at thecollegiate- live.com/hospice. This project has been the most important and most rewarding work I have The Collegiate Magazine ever been a part of and I am proud of every person who contributed to this is a student publication issue. of Grand Rapids Community College We hope you enjoy it. 143 Bostwick Ave. Grand Rapids, MI 49503 As always, we welcome any feedback on this and all other publications of Room 339, Main The Collegiate.

That’s how it went for years. I collected books, clothes, movies, toys that reminded me of my childhood, an insane amount of old school work, just in case a certain topic came up in future classes. In 2013 I was asked to trek the Appalachian Trail - a marked trail from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. I jumped on the invite, of course I wanted to go, I’ve wanted to travel my whole life. But, what would I do with all my things? Being gone for a few days is one thing but the Appalachian Trail is months long. In the end I turned the opportunity down, my reasoning justified by the need to be responsible.

LOPEZ TheCollegiateLive.com | 3 BOOKS me &by Warren Sink ooks are sort of like friends, but really they aren’t. Paper from a tree, stamped with ink, isn’t com- Bparable to a relationship with a living, breathing human being. Hell, even a living, breathing cat or dog doesn’t compare. No, books are something less. Yet, they contribute something that people may not feel with others. They don’t reciprocate tangible contact, but what they give the reader is a gift not unlike the touch of a hand or the sound of a voice. Their contact reminds you of you. Their words make you wonder. But most of all, they remind you, you are not alone. I don’t know about you, but the first books I read weren’t by Hemingway. My first stories were “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” and “Harold and the Purple Crayon” and “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” among others. They were fun, endearing, and so captivating that when my dad flipped the last page, it was as if my eyes had to readjust from the beautifully depicted world of Harold and his crayon to a more mundane reality. It was a time when I laughed and cried without abandon, because I knew no better and I lived an authentic existence, fit for a child. However, my next progress was a bit forced. I disliked school.

  • Plato's Timaeus, to Wilhelm Gottfried Leibniz and the Founding of the American Republic, to the Geniuses of the French Revolution's Ecole Polytechnique
    HOW DANTE USED POETRY TO START THE SCIENTIFIC RENAISSANCE In a groundbreaking study of the Commedia(Divine Comedy) of Dante Alighieri, Dr. Muriel Mirak shows how this famous epic poem provided the rigorous basis for the advances in natural science, art and political science associated with the "Golden Renaissance" of Europe' through each of the three canticas of the Commedia--lnferno, Purga- tory, Paradise--she shows how poetry is used to convey the devel- oping process of the human individual from a bestial state to that of a "golden soul" guided by creative reason, the same self-developing principle which governs the physical universe. Mirak uses Dante's own theoretical writings on poetry .to prove that the poet's musical enrichment of the vernacular language was indispensable for making this principle accessible to the population led by the great inventors, artists and political thinkers of later generations. GENIUS CAN BE TAUGHT! Using examples drawn fiom a project to teach geometry to grade school children, mathematician Uwe Parpart demonstrates how history's most complex mathematical ideas are easily compre- hended_even by adults!--once the physical processes they describe are made clear. These principles have guided scientific and political development from the time of Plato's Timaeus, to Wilhelm Gottfried Leibniz and the founding of the American Republic, to the geniuses of the French Revolution's Ecole Polytechnique. MAKING GREAT MUSIC AND POETRY AMERICA'S NATIONAL PASTIME Impossible? Efforts are now underway to group professional musi- cians and amateurs into a NASA-style program of orchestras and choruses committed to recreating the level of polyphonic richness practiced in the American Musical System of the 19th century.

August 27, 2009 The Ithacan Volume 77, Issue 1 Freshman class largest in history Administration makes staff cuts BY LINDSEY HOLLENBAUGH EDITOR IN CHIEF As a record number of incoming freshmen begin class- es this fall, resulting in the hiring of additional adjuncts to meet the students’ needs, the Rochon administration has eliminated some staff positions in the name of “efficiency and effectiveness.” In addition to eliminating a number of vacant positions, the college has begun terminating employees. President Tom Rochon said since the middle of the last academic year, 11 occupied positions have been eliminated because of reorganization. Rochon declined to release the areas of the college where those positions were cut. Rochon said restructuring is not a one-time project. “This is not simply about cutting back expenses,” Rochon said. “It is in every instance about finding ways to be more excellent and doing work more effectively and more effi- ciently at the same time.” Rochon said while some occupied positions have been eliminated, there have been no forced retirements.

By ASHLEY NICOLE SOVA ____________________ A Thesis Submitted to The Honors ColleGe In Partial Fulfillment of the Bachelors deGree With Honors in Music Education THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA D E C 2 0 1 9 ApProved by: ____________________________ Abstract: This thesis was a culminating recital in accordance with a music degree. It consisted of a one hour solo voice performance that was accompanied by Bonnie Bird on piano. In addition, there were three duets with singers Sebastian Alameda, Brianna Barnhart, and Jacob Walters which required additional planning. For this recital, there are program notes which include background information about the pieces and the structure of the recital, information about the composers, and text and translations of foreign texts. The recital was themed around the innocence of children, and consisted of music in the four themes of children’s songs, dreams, the breaking of innocence, and young love. These themes center around different points of innocence or loss of innocence, and create a cohesive recital reflecting on the desire of humans to relive childhood moments. The Perspective of Innocence Ashley Sova, soprano Bonnie Bird, piano 4/14/19 The perspective of innocence is a recital from the point of view of children and other characters who did not fully understand the situations that they were in.

    Meditative Story Transcript – Susan David Click here to listen to the full Meditative Story with Susan David. SUSAN DAVID: This series of love letters between my teacher and me go back and ​ forth. When I say “love letters” I mean letters that are human-to-human, full of heart and compassion. Letters that help me process. Help me understand. Help me to just reflect and find the words for this experience that, for so long, has felt like a complete fog. ROHAN GUNATILLAKE: Some people think that the aim of meditation is to train yourself to the ​ point that the messiness of life never arises and instead it’s just bliss and calm 24/7. But I’ve always believed that the purpose of meditation is to help us feel everything, the highs and the lows, feel them fully and with heart. Moved by life, but not shaken by it. And with those thoughts, I’m excited in today’s Meditative Story that we’ll hear from Susan David. Susan is a psychologist, author, and TED speaker. The story she’ll share with us is all about courage in its various forms, all about turning to your fear and seeing it, and navigating a path through, which leads to freedom. In this series, we blend immersive, first-person stories with mindfulness prompts to help you recharge at any time of the day. I’m Rohan, and I’ll be your guide for Meditative Story. The body relaxed. The body breathing. Your senses open. Your mind open. Meeting the world. DAVID: At around six years old, I start having this acute terror of death.
