Dean Campus

I love New England at this time of years, it can be so beautiful.  Dean's campus is no exception and today once it was safe to go outside I could not help but look at how pretty it was.  The campus is truly a winter wonderland.

 So because of all of the snow in this winter wonderland we ended up having a snow day like most of the schools because our faculty members come from all over, they are not just in state.  The fact that we have teachers from all over New England is something that is really appealing to me as a student.  Each teacher had their own point of view on different subjects because where one is from  definitely affects the way people think. 

Like most of my fellow student I spent the snow day relaxing and hanging out with my friends.  However, probably unlike others, I also spent the day working on a project for my favorite class with one of my favorite teachers.  The class is social movements & collective behavior (an upper level sociology class) with Dr. Holster.  This class is about different social movements like women's suffrage and why people behavior the ways they do in large groups during things such as sporting events.  Dr. Holster manages to keep our attention the entire class (even though it goes until 6:10) and she is really enthusiastic about the topic.  The project I was doing is on a social movement that I will be research all of break, To Write Love on Here Arms is a social movement that I think is going to be an interesting one. 

Coming up next weekend is a dance show and a dance workshop that are both going to be exciting.  The show is going to be student choreographed pieces that will be adjudicated by 4 figures in the dance world.  The four are Maria Torres, Joey Dowling, Sonya Tayeh, and Jaquel Knight.  Both the shows and the classes should be amazing.  I can't wait to take these master's classes!
