This blog post is about to be majorly overdramatic. It all started when I was just a wee young lass. My grandma is a big coffee drinker and my grandpa loved his gas station cappuccinos. They live across town from the house I grew up in, and they’re totally the kind of grandparents who love to give their grandkids “treats.” I’m pretty sure we were all raised on caffeine.

At Edinburgh we want our students to have the best experience possible. An important part of a great student experience is being (and feeling) part of a community. Our university is the 10th largest in the UK, but our low student-staff ratio is one of the reasons that we’re consistently ranked as one of the world’s top 50 universities. Nevertheless, for undergraduate students, small class sizes in a large university can still mean that there’s lots of staff they don’t know, and somet

Every day we hear about some new digital app, tool, or thing we should be learning about or using, but when do we have time to actually experiment and try out all of these things? 23 Things is a programme originally run in 2006 by Helen Blowers, a librarian, to encourage her colleagues to learn and experiment with Web 2.0 and other new technologies.

I was inspired to write this post after reading accounts of content-independent learning by Maha Bali and others. Content-independent learning is promoted in collaborative learning communities where students have a significant input into the topics they study and how they study them. The course organiser does not provide a reading list and there is no canonical body of knowledge to be absorbed.

Working 9-5 almost every day definitely has made me appreciate weekends even more and especially being in the city there’s a lot of pressure to be out and doing fun things all the time. So this past weekend my roommate, Dori, and I decided we were going to make the most of our Saturday and headed out for a very full day. Our first stop was Elly’s Pancake House.

This fall semester of 2016, I picked to study abroad in Santiago, Chile, and so far it has been an unforgettable experience. Over the period of weeks that I am have been in Santiago, I have experienced a lot of positive, fun, and negative things, which are part of the living in a country with completely different culture, values, and mentality. Chile has been an amazing and highly valuable experience with full of ups and downs.

Manjar is something very delicious and very Chilian. It is only available in Chile and the closest thing is dulce de leche. People in Chile put manjar almost on anything. Donuts, cakes, pancakes, crepes, bread. Most people have love-hate relationship with manjar. It is truly delicious, but it is really unhealthy. I mean it has a lot of sugar! It has three ingredients: milk, sugar, and vanilla.

Santiago has population of 7 million people, yet the bus system, which the majority of people depend on everyday, do not have set times or a time schedule. A big majority of Santiago’s working class uses a bus or metro to get to and from work everyday. Many times the metro does not get people close enough, so they have to use bus after taking metro.

“Fast food” is not a term in Chile, especially referring to the world fast. I am not saying it a bad way at all. I mean it on the contrary. I think that it is very fascinating the way that Chileans approach fast food style restaurants. I have been only in two: McDonald’s and KFC. Also, I saw Subway and Dunkin Donuts as well but I have not been there and honestly not really planning to, since Chile has amazing local bakeries and cuisine restaurants.

Colleges and universities are beginning to put greater focus on onboarding and orientation processes. With the high cost of turnover and the need to retain faculty and staff in a highly competitive environment, orientation programs that address the “employee value proposition” for working at an institution have gained increasing attention. Some of the key opportunities that can be missed without a comprehensive onboarding program include: Opportunities to learn about the institution, its mission

Holland is a small town with a lot of cool things. From windmills and wooden shoes to independent restaurants and small businesses, anyone can find something they enjoy. I’m going to play favorites and pick a few of the things Holland has to offer that I enjoy. Parks Holland has a lot of parks , 22 to be exact. Plus, Windmill Island is in walking distance and the beach is just a short drive away.

PREVIOUSLY ON #CHICAGOKATHRYN… So, here’s a quick recap of my weird, exciting life that I love. I’m spending this semester living in Chicago and working as the worship arts intern at Community Christian Church Lincoln Park/Old Town. I’m taking a couple classes while I’m here through Chicago Semester and learning a whole bunch of stuff about the real world, all conveniently timed in the months leading up to my college graduation.

Hello, Readers! I hope your summer was amazing and you’re starting to get back into the swing of the new school year routine. It’s hard to do just coming off of summer, but once you’re there, it’s a good place to be! If you’re a new reader, let me tell you a little about myself: I’m a senior (WHAT?) hailing from Sterling Heights, Michigan – about 45 minutes north of Detroit.

In an era of severe budgetary constraints, colleges and universities have struggled to create new faculty workforce models that are responsive to the emerging needs of a new generation of diverse, nontraditional students. In fact, the traditional tenured faculty model has been replaced by a model in which part-time and non-tenured faculty play a more significant role.

Even though I drafted my last post about a week ago, it seriously feels like it’s been months since I’ve posted! Our days are so busy that it often feels like a full week within one day. Thankfully, that’s exactly what I was hoping when I moved out to the city so it’s been perfect! In my last post I had really only spent a couple days at my new internship.

Gone are my days of boiling pierogies, listening to my Belarusian manager give advice on boys, make up and marriage, and summertime adventures with friends and family. Classes are in full swing and I still find it hard to believe that I am starting my junior year. This year I am an RA in a cottage which means I get to live with some of my best friends here at Hope.

I’m not sure if “church hopping” is common language or Hope College lingo for “I’m trying to find a church that I really enjoy in the area.” This is the only place I’ve ever heard it, so I’m going to go with the latter. The name is a little misleading, because to me it sounds like you go to a bunch of churches all in one day, but in fact you decide on various churches to visit each Sunday until you find a good fit.

Over the summer I got to thinking about Hope blogging. I felt as if every year I wrote the same posts: back to school, the Pull, Winter Fantasia, Nykerk, SAC events, etc. This year, I’m vowing to make more unconventional and creative posts. My first is this one, a playlist perfected for that perfect back to Hope College feel. These are songs that I hear around campus, give me a special Hope vibe, or are always played at any Hope social event.

I was sleeping and suddenly I woke up around 6 in the morning and everything was shaking. Honestly, I thought that I was hallucinating. My bed, night table, doors, and windows were all shaking for good 40 seconds. When it stopped, I felt the whole building moving left and right. I live in the third floor of an 18-floor apartment building, so that is why I felt the construction moving.
