Wagnerstock and Big Name

By Christian Grotewold On April 26, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Christian Grotewold, On campus
On April 20th, Wagner College held its annual Wagnerstock and Big Name events. These two events are one of the most anticipated activities Wagner plans for the spring semester. Wagnerstock is basically a day out in the Oval, kind of like an Oval Day, but with activities and many free things. Big Name is the night concert that Wagner plans with an artist that is popular right now. This day is basically dedicated to art [...]

The Road To Songfest

By Christian Grotewold On April 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Christian Grotewold, On campus
My favorite time of year came and went so fast; we danced, we sang, we joyed, we sweated — Songfest was a blast! All the Greek organizations, along with Nubian Student Union and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, were part of this singing and dancing competition. Each organization had a total of 8 minutes to put on a good performance, and I must say that they all were fantastic. The crowd went wild every time someone [...]

Public Speaking

By Christian Grotewold On April 10, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Christian Grotewold, On campus
One of the many aspects of being in a liberal arts college is the fact that we are required to take certain classes. These classes are called “general education,” and they vary from science to theatre. One of the courses that every student has to take at Wagner College is Public Speaking. It is a requirement because no matter what field you decide to go into, you will always have to speak in front of [...]

Admitted Students Day: Study Abroad Panel

By Christian Grotewold On April 8, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Christian Grotewold, On campus
On Saturday, April 6, Wagner College had its annual Admitted Students Day. We welcomed students from a wide range of places; one even had Guatemalan descent like me! This day was dedicated to all those students who have gotten an acceptance letter from Wagner College, and they were welcomed to spend the day on our campus. Admitted students began their day with a nice brunch at our dining hall, which was accompanied by a welcoming [...]

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 [...]

What Happens In Orlando… Goes on HakwTalk Pt. 2

By Christian Grotewold On March 22, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Christian Grotewold
After our phenomenal first day at Orlando, we continued our vacations by going to Universal Studios, which is right next to Island of Adventure. For this day, my fraternity brother and I decided to wear our letters, and to our surprise a grown man who is also part of Theta Chi recognized us at the hotel! It was a great feeling to talk to a brother from a different state. After this great encounter, we [...]

What Happens In Orlando… Goes On HawkTalk Pt.1

By Christian Grotewold On March 15, 2013 · 1 Comment · In Beyond NY, Christian Grotewold
This week was Spring Break for Wagner College, and two of my friends and I came to Orlando… by bus. Our trip did not begin with the right foot at all. The moment we saw the bus station we knew it would not be a great ride. The station was located in a very sketchy area of Canal Street and the people who were going on the ride with us were not exactly very appealing [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
