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 [...]

Enthusiasm Can Bring You Far: ECSC ’13

By Lynn Tay On April 24, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
One thing I learned this weekend when I went to Providence College with friends, peers, and professors is that enthusiasm can bring me to unexpected places and great people. This past Saturday, I had one of the best, well-spent, and enjoyable days I have had so far here at Wagner College.  Never would I have imagined that a science conference was as exciting as it was at Providence College on April 20, 2013.  I had [...]

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 [...]

2nd Annual Health Fair on the Oval

By Lynn Tay On April 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay, On campus
There is no better way to enjoy a Thursday than to have an oval day. Although it was not a typical sunny oval day, it was a lively one because of the 2nd annual Wagner College Health Fair.  I had a fun time with members of various clubs on campus who were raising awareness about health, fundraising money for good causes, and having a fun time at the different activities. As students passed by [...]

On a Serious Note

By Megan Irving On April 16, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Megan Irving, On campus
My dear reader — I address you as dear because that’s what you are to me. You take the time out of your day to read this and some of you even come back for more. Though I do sometimes worry if my audience consists of only my mom. If it does, hi mom, and yes I did finish my homework and no I’m not ditching class. But whether you’re my mom or some random [...]

Dancing, Singing, and Cheering — both in and out of the water

By Lynn Tay On April 15, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay, On campus
This weekend was a jam-packed weekend for me! I have not danced, cheered, and sang this much in two days for a very long time. I showed a lot of school spirit this week and it was a weekend I will not forget anytime soon. Saturday night I attended an event called Songfest. Songfest is a dancing and singing competition for organizations on campus who compete for the top three spots for the best performance [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
