“From presenting to the JCEL Board to one-on-one negotiations with sellers, I am learning what goes into running a business by creating my own startup—Eagle Furniture Exchange. Since I just started, I’m mainly doing marketing, but I’ve also been meeting with sellers. So far, I most enjoyed getting confirmation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that Eagle Furniture Exchange L.L.C. is officially registered. The website for EFE, www. eaglefurnitureexchange.com, is also up and running.” —Cheryl Mariani ’12, international studies and economics, Delran, N.J.

“A student sat for us for a couple weeks in class. I did a few sketches of her to warm up, and then did the final drawing. I started with an underpainting to establish the dark and light values. Then, it was simply a matter of building up the body paint and finishing it with some glazes. The painting was just practice, but it’s always a positive experience to have your artwork displayed. Right now my future is uncertain, but I’m planning on exhibiting in more art shows on campus and around the country.” —Matthew Wren ’10, studio fine art and education, Pittsburgh, Pa.
“I had the opportunity to explore the southwestern U.S. in the Remote Field Course with 35 other students. In two psychology modules, we explored the town of Roswell, New Mexico studying alien sightings and memory. In the physics module of the trip, we rafted down the Colorado River learning about flow patterns, water pressure and speed.” —Mariah LaChance ’12, social studies, Littleton, Colo.
“Within a semester, a student teacher is responsible for planning, teaching and managing classes. I taught a 10th grade Asian studies class, three college-prep U.S. history classes, and an accelerated U.S. history class. The experience allowed me to learn intangible qualities I couldn’t learn sitting in an education class.”
—David Sollenberger ’10, social studies and secondary education, Elizabethtown, Pa.
