  • DANKSAGUNG Wie Rory Gilmore, Die in Einer Der Wohl Rührendsten
    DANKSAGUNG KARIN LENZHOFER »Headmaster Charleston, faculty members, fellow students, family and friends, wel- come. We never thought this day would come. We prayed for its quick delivery, crossed days off our calendars, counted hours, minutes, and seconds, and now that it’s here, I’m sorry it is because it means leaving friends who inspire me and teachers who have been my mentors, so many people who have shaped my life and my fel- low students’ lives impermeably and forever. I live in two worlds. One is a world of books. I’ve been a resident of Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha County, hunted the white whale aboard the Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, committed absurdities with Ignatius J. Reilly, rode a sad train with Anna Karen- ina, and strolled down Swann’s Way. It’s a rewarding world, but my second one is by far superior. My second one is populated with characters slightly less eccentric but supremely real, made of flesh and bone, full of love, who are my ultimate inspiration for everything. Richard and Emily Gilmore are kind, decent, unfailingly generous people. They are my twin pillars without whom I could not stand. I am proud to be their grandchild. But my ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the dazzling woman from whom I received my name and my life’s blood, Lorelai Gilmore. My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn’t do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and mu- sic, unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith.

The original series, broadcast on the WB Network (2000-2007) was nested into the everyday life of women in American society. It included a mother/daughter duo that problematized what it meant to be a feminist during its initial run. This project considers: How Gilmore Girls might be understood as a feminist intervention in 21st century US television? Prior research into the show is limited and fails to explore feminism and the show in general.

  • Corporate Ethical Codes: Effective Instruments for Influencing
    Title: Ethical Education and its Effect on Accounting Fraud Authors: Kimberly Henry: [email protected] Brittany Dodson: [email protected] Contact phone number: (540)-819-9298 Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Stephanie Bardwell: [email protected] Contact phone number: (757)-594-7139 Department: Management and Marketing Abstract: Accounting fraud is a substantial problem in the business sector that affects the economy and the community as a whole. There has been extensive research on the topics surrounding this issue; but not much research on the relationship between ethics education and how it may affect the reduction of accounting fraud. There is a high level of support for ethical education from the scholarly community; however, it is important to include the thoughts of current students in business programs to find out their attitudes toward ethics education. This research is designed to stimulate discussion and action on the subject of ethics education in relation to accounting fraud. It includes the importance of ethics education in a student’s academic career. A survey was distributed to find out the opinions of college business majors and their attitude toward accounting fraud and ethical education. Our findings suggest ethics education does have a positive effect on the reduction of accounting fraud.

  • Stars Hollow Is Back: a Year in the Life of the Gilmore Girls
    Stars Hollow is back: a year in the life of the Gilmore Girls Coffee-addicts, rapid-fire conversationalists, and even the occasional viewers, were ecstatic: Earlier this year, creator Amy Sherman-Palladino announced the Netflix revival of the iconic, coming-of-age show Gilmore Girls. This came as a pleasant surprise to many loyal fans who felt the absence of the cast’s familiar faces and unforgettable personalities. The new miniseries, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, connects the three generations of Gilmore women once more and ends with four significant last words. But will these last four words appease those who felt somewhat unsatisfied with the show’s ending nine years ago, after a seven-season television run? The original show, which first aired in October 2000, became a timely, relatable, and clever reflection of the millennial generation. Interwoven with early 2000s trending pop culture phenomena, the show depicted fascination with social media and addiction to technology while showcasing younger generational traits of curiosity, ambition, and progressiveness. It follows the life of a spontaneous, coffee-obsessed single mother, Lorelai Gilmore, and her quirky but diligent daughter, Rory Gilmore, as they maneuver about their lives in and around their quaint town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Stars Hollow is back: a year in the life of the Gilmore Girls graphic by Caroline Tan The revival takes place over a one-year period, with each 90-minute episode corresponding to a season of weather. In “Winter,” the first episode, every character is re-introduced with significant changes in their life events.
