While taking Elementary Chinese, I had the opportunity to practice traditional Chinese calligraphy. This was my absolute favorite part of class because it shows that there is not only a difference in the way words are written (characters versus letters), but also a difference in the method of how the language is written. Calligraphy is a traditional part of Chinese history and culture, and being able to practice it myself made me respect that aspect of the Chinese culture even more. It is no easy feat to write using a calligraphy brush!

World AIDS Day Event 2007
On December 1, 2007, the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs co-sponsored World AIDS Day with Gay Straight Alliance ({GSA} - a student organization at the college that supports our GLBT students and those who support them). To recognize the event we brought Ms. Taba Aleem of the Summit County Planned Parenthood to come an address the college on HIV and AIDS and talk about ways in which to prevent future generations from contracting the virus.
