PRESS RELEASE Comedian, Actor and SC Native Aziz Ansari to Perform Benefit Show for Governor’s School for Science & Math Wednesday, January 25, 2012, Columbia, SC – Comedian Aziz Ansari will perform in Charleston to benefit his alma mater, the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics (GSSM). The event will take place at the Charleston Music Hall, February 3, 2012, 7:30 p.m. Born in Columbia and raised in Bennettsville, Ansari is a graduate of the GSSM class of 2000. During his time at GSSM, he was involved in a variety of endeavors, including the tennis team. Prior to being accepted to GSSM, he attended Marlboro Academy in Bennettsville. Dr. Carlanna Hendrick, GSSM history professor, fondly remembers Ansari from his time at the School. "Aziz’s energy was apparent when he was the number one seed on our district championship tennis team,” says Hendrick. “His keen and analytic mind was revealed through the excellent grades he earned in my history class. Aziz was an unforgettable student with a strong work ethic and an equally strong sense of humor and fun." Following GSSM graduation in 2000, he left for New York University, where he graduated in 2004 with a marketing degree. Ansari then shifted his career to become a comedian and actor. He is now well known for his role as Tom Haverford on NBC's Parks and Recreation, as well as his roles in the blockbuster movies 30:Minutes or Less and Get Him to the Greek, among others. Ansari first came to audiences’ attention when he co-created and starred on MTV's hit sketch comedy series, Human Giant. An accomplished stand-up comedian, Ansari was named “The Funniest Man Under 30” by Rolling Stone in 2011. “Amid a swelling alumni base of doctors, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, we are extremely proud to have such a successful actor and comedian as an alumnus,” says Kim Bowman, CEO of the GSSM Foundation. “Aziz’s story just goes to show you never know where a solid background in science and math will lead you. From what we’ve seen from Aziz so far, the sky is the limit.” Ansari is also performing six other shows during his time in Charleston.

Thesis from Parks to Presidents: Political
THESIS FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION Submitted by Seth J. Willden Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s Committee Advisor: Nick Marx Karrin Vasby Anderson Doug Cloud Copyright by Seth J. Willden 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION This thesis examines the ways televised narrative political fiction can portray political sensibilities. Using the NBC program, Parks and Recreation (2009-2015), and the Netflix streaming service program, House of Cards (2013-2016), I explore how narrative television presents political philosophies to audiences, equipping them to discuss political discourse. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before we begin discussing the political implications of narrative television, I must first provide a narrative of acknowledgement. The MA program in Communication Studies is only a two-year program, and this document marks the end of that two-year journey. But I have been at Colorado State for five years. In a way, the last chapter of this thesis will be the last literal chapter of my five-year career as a CSU student. I wish to first thank the professors that transformed my understanding of the world: Dr. Thomas Dunn, Dr. Scott Diffrient, and Dr. Eric Aoki. You were my first communication studies professors. Each in turn provided excellent education, guidance and support throughout my time as a scholar. I will never forget your pedagogical styles and hunger for understanding the communicative processes of our world. Next I want to thank my thesis committee: Dr.

The Storied Game of Alice
The Storied Game of Alice Or: Anon's Amazing Semi-Randomized Animu Style Waifu Generator For Lonely Neckbeards In Brief - What Is The Game of Alice About How to Play The Game of Alice Generating Alice - First Things First Age Background Essential Personality Traits Intelligence & Knowledge Hobbies Matters of Appearance Color Height Build Breasts Butt Distinctive Features Special Features Weird Sexual Features Option #1: Alice Enchanted Option #2: My Daily Life with Alice In Brief The following document contains advice and random generation charts to allow you to create a "love interest" type character somewhat inspired (in some cases, at least) by the conventions of romantic anime, named Alice Schmidt. You may simply bask in the pleasant sensation of imagining such a girl as your own lover, or practice your writing skills by composing a short scene or a few starring it or it and yourself. The following paragraphs are merely introduction. If you've already played the game of Alice or don't wish to be bothered, feel free to skip right ahead to "Generating Alice". What It Is About The Game of Alice has always been considered somewhat of an oddity among CYOAs. In fact, it is commonly argued to not be one at all (due to its highly, often entirely random nature), though this one personally finds the point moot. The Game of Alice exhibits clear origination from the same /b/ thread openers which inspired those images more commonly referred to as "CYOAs", and even if that wasn't the case, it is already too heavily associated with the CYOA "community" to be easily separable from it.

Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation
Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication December 2018 By Bailee M. Bahr Southern Utah University Thesis Committee: Kevin Stein, PhD, Chair I certify that I have read and viewed this project and that, in my opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Professional Communication. Repowered Feminist Analysis 1 Kevin Stein __________________________________ Kevin Stein, Ph.D., Capstone Chair Matthew Barton __________________________________ Matthew Barton, Ph.D., MAPC Graduate Director Abstract Repowered Feminist Analysis 2 This paper analyzes the television show Parks and Recreation in order to find principles of Foss and Foss’ (2009) characteristics of repowered feminism. This paper aims to discover if Leslie Knope represents a new form of feminism, what characteristics specifically that she represents, and if these qualities contribute to a freer, less oppressed Leslie Knope. The analysis examines three episodes of the show and uses feminist rhetorical criticism to analyze the findings. I found that repowered feminism applies both to a feminist’s concerns with feminist issues and the applicability of repowered feminism to all types of problem solving. Knope, whether focusing directly on feminist issues or on the various obstacles she faces while doing her job, is usually presented as more successful when she implements the characteristics of repowered feminism. Keywords: parks and recreation, repowered feminism, pop culture Acknowledgements A massive hug and kiss to my adorable husband who encouraged me to finish my thesis in spite of the plethora of excuses.

Table of Contents ________________________________________ Letter from the Director…………………………………………………....2 - 3 Watch Guide / Favorite Episodes……………………………………….......3 - 4 Overview…………………………………...………………………...............5 - 6 Characters / Portfolio Powers…………….…………………………….....6 - 14 Parks and Recreation Welcome to Pawnee, Indiana, home to the Parks and Recreation department run by Ron Swanson (but really, it's all thanks to Deputy Director Leslie Knope). A small town that serves as Everytown, USA, Pawnee has problems, from its obesity crisis to the raccoon infestation to the corrupt Sweetums Candy Company dominating the economy. But no problem is too big or small to be solved by Pawnee local government. This committee begins at season 6, right when the pretentious town of Eagleton goes bankrupt and the merger begins. Will Leslie be recalled as city councilwoman? What will happen with Rent-A-Swag? How will two towns that have lived as sworn enemies integrate? From Ron to Donna to Ben to Ann to Garry-Jerry-Larry-Terry, it's up to Pawnee's Department of Parks and Recreation to save the merger--and perhaps the town itself. 1 Letter from the Director ________________________________________ Delegates, Welcome! It is my privilege to welcome you to FCMUN as your crisis director. Last year, I was the crisis director for the Democratic National Committee and it was a blast, ending in Chance the Rapper being declared Emperor of my home city of Chicago, Bill De Blasio annihilating Trump Tower with the help of his assistant Kim Kardashian, and Bernie leading a secession movement for the northeast states. I can’t wait to see you all plot and solve more crazy crises.

Brooke Conaway and Christopher Clark1 ABSTRACT Based on a first-year multidisciplinary course, Swansonomics is a class where students examine the libertarian beliefs espoused by the character Ron Swanson from the television series Parks and Recreation. The show provides great examples of rent seeking, fiscal policy issues, social policy issues, and bureaucratic incentive structures. These Parks and Recreation video clips can be used in any class to cover a variety of issues. Examples of topics include the expected economic consequences of specific political or economic philosophies, unintended consequences of policies, various systems of taxation, public and private incentive structures, and varying degrees of capitalism and government intervention. Introduction This paper is based on a first-year multidisciplinary course taught at a liberal arts university. The course covers a variety of topics, with particular emphasis on different economic systems, varying degrees of capitalism, government intervention, and public choice issues.
