Freshman Seminar Fall 17 CMA

Research Workshop

I attend a research workshop. This workshop was given by Professor Francoeur. He is very nice and intelligent. He went through all the research processes with us. To start a research and define any of sources for my research paper are usually hard for me. However, after this workshop, I have a better understanding of how to start my research. Our school database is a very nice and professional place to find sources. I also find out that our librarians are here to help 24/7. You can ask them every question about your research online. This was a very interesting experience. It gonna help me survive the rest of my college.

The Spotlight Series: Careers in Start-Ups

On October 19th, 2017, I attended a workshop, which gave by Vadim and Sergei Revzin. This workshop explained the concept of start-ups and gave us some suggestion on how to get a job at a start-ups company. Vadim and Sergei shared lots of personal experiences with the audience. And gave the audience a lot of useful advice about getting jobs. I was so glad that I went to this workshop. It’s such a great experience!

Student Life

I got an email from my seminar’s mentor last week. The introduction of the Latinx Heritage Month event seems very interesting. I thought this might be a good opportunity to explore something new, so I went to the event. This event took place in the lobby of the Vertical building. When I walked into the building,  I saw a lot of Latin America countries’  flags hanging up there. People there were talking with friends and took pictures. People also provide free food and gave out some free t-shirts during the event.  I would like to try the ice-lolly, but  I didn’t have any of them. I was surprised that the lolly was gone so fast. The music chair game was so funny to watch, too. They played so many Latin America’s song, but”Vivir mi Vida” was the only song that I know. I had a lot of fun with my friends on that day.
