ager of the Olde Town Grove City downtown business district, a volunteer for many nonprofits in the Grove City
Area, the President of the Grove City Young Professionals and a writer for Living the Grove.
He was nominated because of his efforts to connect students and faculty of the College with Olde Town. He seeks to improve the business climate in Olde town and benefit those connected to the College by building relationships and teaming up with College administration. Inman is the other recipient of the. Inman’s name is most likely familiar to many alums of the College, as she is an alumness herself, as well as an employee in the Office of Alumni and College Relations. She has selflessly worked out of public view on community projects such as Grove City’s Strawberry Days and the Grove City Ro-
tary Club. The College is not the only one recognizing her work. Inman also received the Grove City Chamber Community Service Award in January of this year in honor of her volunteer efforts in the community.

When MAP lunch dates don’t cut it Love life gone stale? Here are a few ideas to spice stuff up with your significant other. 1. Go to the Theater- Most places will provide a discounted student price. I recommend Playhouse Square in Cleveland, where you can see performances in what is widely considered one of the best off-Broadway production houses in the country for $15.00 with your student ID. 2. M c C o n n e l l s Mill State Park – a perfect place for you and your boo to get lost in the woods, hike the trail, and admire the beautiful autumn trees. 3. Smelting Pennies – put two pennies together and tape them to a set of railroad
tracks. Come back after the train runs over them and you’ll have one melted mega-penny. A great symbol of your future together in marriage: the two becoming one. 4. Get off campus and go out to eat – the Brewery in Slippery Rock is always a win. And no, you don’t have to get alcohol; homebrewed root beer and specially made fries will turn an ordinary meal into a life-altering dinner. Honorable mentions: Timber Creek; Peace, Love, and Little Donuts.
5. Are you or your loved (liked) one an Old Soul? – We have three tremendous opportunities for thrifting here in Grove City: Salvation Army, Thrifty-Threads, and the lesser known All Good Things. Take advantage and buy your boyfriend or girlfriend a thrifty 1990s YMCA shirt. 6. Has your relationship hit an intellectual lull? – I recommend doing the other person’s homework to reinvigorate and ignite some great conversations. Also, this can be a good way to find out
Studio all’estero – Italia Karli Anzevino
Contributing Writer Among the many novelties to explore in Italy are food, the language and the ancient streets full of history and beauty. Historical must-sees like the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Trevi Fountain, the Vatican City and the Roman ruins are everywhere, while gorgeous Italian beaches dot the landscape. Italy is a hot bed for famous and extravagant art and history and there is much to see and tell about. Imagine walking down the Tuscan countryside. The cool, fresh air smells of grape vine, gourmet pizza crust and the amazing gelato. The fashion and culture also draws you in, enlightening you as to the customs of small Italian towns. Imagine yourself in a new pair of handmade Italian shoes. Are they black suede sandals or leather loafers? I’ll take both. In order to make this a possibility, Grove City College has partnered with Lorenzo de’ Medici University. Students

Seeing the sights is just one reason to study in Italy. can travel in additional programs over the length of a semester, summer, or January intersession at reduced tuition rates. There is also an upcoming Faculty-Led Travel Course to Italy and Greece this May. This is an unbelievable opportunity to travel to Italy. Student Raquel Fereshetian studied in Florence, Italy in the fall of last year and spoke of how much she enjoyed her time. Instead of going through the program, Raquel said she “directly enrolled to give [herself] more flexibility during [her] time there.” “I was so glad that I did, as I got to travel to more than ten countries all around Europe, and even more cities around Italy,” she said. Raquel mentioned some other great opportunities she
experienced by going about her travels this way. “My international school gave me so many opportunities outside of the classroom, as I got involved with pottery and fashion club. I even had the chance to be a writer and photographer for their fashion blog. My school also gave us unique experiences all around Florence such as touring the Ferragamo and Gucci Museums, doing secret passages tours around the famous buildings, taking wine and food pairing classes, and even attending an opera,” she explained. Italy is just one of the many countries with programs partnered with Grove City College and is providing many students the opportunity to experience new studies as well as new culture.
just how smart your significant other really is. 7. Enjoy the Ketler booths – if you enjoy a lower quality lounge, the smell of musty wood, a dimly lit aur, and some well-played ping pong matches, this is the perfect place for you. 8. Revel in the glory of freedom at a local gun show or raffle – Nothing shows your significant other how patriotic you are like a knowledge of the calibers, ballistics propertie, and ranges of an array of assault rifles and handguns. Just don’t bring any purchases back to campus. 9. Party at Slippery Rock – Completely debasing yourself is a great way to determine
how committed your guy or girl is to your relationship: if they can’t handle you at your worst, they don’t deserve you at your best. 10. Ice Skating – Winter is coming, and we all know what that means: it’s time to make complete fools out of ourselves by bruising our posteriors on frozen ponds. Ice Skating is the quintessential winter date. Don’t pass it up this winter. 11. Visit the Zoo – For only $16, you can visit the Pittsburgh Zoo and marvel at the lions, laugh at the sea otter, and express your condolences to Harambe’s cousins. Who knows, maybe taking your significant other on a tour of the animal kingdom will make them wild
about you. 12 Enjoy a beautiful view of Pittsburgh from the top of The Incline – during both day and night, the Duquesne Incline provides stunning vistas of Pittsburgh. Many a proposal has occurred here, and there’s also a great restaurant down the street!
