Picnic at the oval.

Oval Days

By Christian Grotewold On March 29, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Christian Grotewold, On campus
It is finally spring time at Wagner and that means one thing… oval days! These days are one of my favorite aspects of having one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation. I really wanted to dedicate a blogpost to these days just because they are a big part of Wagner life. Also, I feel that it is appropriate to talk about them right this moment now that the weather is finally starting to [...]

Networking with Health Professionals

By Lynn Tay On March 25, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay, On campus
On Thursday, March 21, 2013, Wagner students gathered in the Faculty Dining hall to attend the 2nd annual Health Professions Networking Reception.  Pakinam Mekki, the President of the Pre-Health Society, had worked hard and coordinated the event, making all of the name tags for the students and health care professionals in attendance. The health professionals came from private practices and the Staten Island University Hospital. Wagner alumni who were currently in medical or dental schools [...]

A Blooming of a New Start

By Lynn Tay On March 20, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay, On campus
The Northeast Conference Swimming and Diving championships were held at the end of February, marking the end of a great swim season for the Wagner College Swimming and Diving team of 2013. Missing the Conference title by a meager 17.5 points, we were sorely disappointed. Nevertheless, our team had a great meet full of excitement from the very beginning of the meet until the very end. During every event, both in prelims and finals, sounds [...]

Wagner College Theatre Presents: RENT

By Christian Grotewold On March 12, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Christian Grotewold, On campus
The theatre department at Wagner College has put up one of the most loved shows in Broadway history: Rent. For those of you who do not know what the show is about, it is about how people try to live and love in New York City while they are broke and living with AIDS. It is a very dark and emotional show, but it has its colorful moments. The lyrics “no day but [...]

Unexpected Discoveries

By Lynn Tay On February 26, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay, On campus
Four years ago, I would have never thought that I would be involved in a research project in which I work with bacteria and organometallic compounds. As a second-semester sophomore, I have started a project with two other undergraduate Wagner science students, Daniel Cimilluca and Sandra Minchala. Our project not only involves three undergraduate science students, but also three different science professors of unique specialties: Dr. Stepanova, the current organic chemistry professor, Dr. West, a [...]

Peer leaders and their learning community.

The Road To Becoming A Peer Leader

By Christian Grotewold On February 25, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Christian Grotewold, On campus
I recently applied for a great leadership opportunity: becoming a peer leader to guide freshmen during their orientation days in college. Usually, a learning community is assigned a pair of peer leaders for an introduction to Wagner College. They are people to look up to and to go to when there is anything you need. Most of the time, the freshmen develop a special friendship with their peer leaders since they are the first connection [...]

A New Home

By Christian Grotewold On February 25, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Christian Grotewold, On campus
I have been away from my home country, Guatemala, for almost two years now. Despite the fact that I do fly during winter break and summer break back to Guatemala, I have to say that all I can think of is of getting back to Wagner College. Do not get me wrong, I love my family and being with them means everything to me, especially if I spend months away from them. But, we all [...]

Rush Week: A Break From Tradition

By Christian Grotewold On February 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Christian Grotewold, On campus
Rush week is finally over and with it all of the anxiety every single Greek Life member and potential recruit had. This semester, rush was done very differently than it had been done previous semesters. For those who are not familiar with the Greek Life terms, let me explain what it all entails: Rush is a period where Greek houses recruit interested members for a chance to join the fraternity or sorority. Let’s begin with [...]

Wagner Swimming and Diving supporting our seniors and the Cystic-Fibrosis Foundation at once!

A Non-traditional Finale

By Lynn Tay On February 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay, On campus
Every year, the Wagner swimming and diving team honors its seniors at the last home meet of the season. This year was different from all other years because we only had one home meet all season — and we swam against ourselves, while honoring our seniors and supporting the Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Nor’easter blizzard made it so that our opponents were unable to drive through all the snow to make the meet. [...]

Super Bowl Sunday

By Christian Grotewold On February 7, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Christian Grotewold, On campus
Chicken wings, Subway sandwiches, pizza, and beer. These are, from what I have noticed, the perfect ingredients for a Super Bowl Sunday. This past Sunday was the 47th annual Super Bowl between the 49ers and the Ravens, with a special performance by Beyonce and Destiny’s Child during the half time show. Past years I have spent it with my family back home, since I was still in Guatemala, but these last two years I have [...]
