Liberal Arts Student Proposal Report

1021 Words5 Pages

The purpose of this proposal is to encourage the College of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M University to create an event for students to connect with their college. The research conducted will determine the feasibility of creating a college festival designed for liberal arts students.
The College of Liberal Arts has a diverse student body with people from all walks of life. There are various ways students can exchange ideas in the classroom to learn more about the world today. While the classroom is building those political and cultural bridges, the liberal arts school has no clear social bridge or outlet that brings students and faculty together.
I am a liberal arts student as an international studies major. In addition, I am also an officer for …show more content…

The questions will have opposing answers and a blank section to allow students to further express their opinion on the matter. To amass a large number of responses, I will utilize social media and my collegiate network. For example, as an officer for the Liberal Arts Student Council, I am able to obtain a data pool between 70-150 students due to knowing many members and colleagues. In addition, there are various social media groups within the Texas A&M system that I can post my survey and get more responses from liberal arts majors. Lastly, I can go across campus to buildings that are specifically for liberal arts courses like the Academic Building to ask people if they would be interested in taking a …show more content…

Contact the Business Student Council at Texas A&M that conducts Mays Fest to understand how a festival should be organized.
Another crucial aspect of this research is contacting the Business Student Council. I hope to email back and forth with an officer to gain insight on how they run Mays Fest. I can potentially get more information on logistics, sponsors, marketing, and getting vendors. This research task will also provide key answers on how to delegate responsibilities and forming a similar system to implement a successful festival.
4. Research how successful/unsuccessful other campuses are when creating a college-related festival.
This task requires internal and external resources. I hope to utilize the libraries online database to research the success rate of festivals. These festivals do not have to be college specific as a festival typically has the same components needed to be successful. I will be looking for feasibility, marketing, and interests of these festivals to determine how a Liberal Arts festival could be successful in the future. In addition, I hope to research the participation rate of events that occur on campus at Texas A&M. If these participation rates are low, then perhaps this event can cater to liberal arts students and another demographic; for example, high school students who are considering the possibility of attending Texas A&M as a liberal arts

Although Loyola has, for the most part, shifted back to their traditional modes of operation prior to the pandemic, lingering effects still are felt. Thus, it is more crucial than ever that Loyola delivers innovative approaches to facilitating student engagement and communicating the benefits of it. Problem Statement: Currently, information pertaining to extracurricular involvement is distributed in three distinct ways. Firstly, Loyola puts on Student Organization Fairs where leaders of various clubs and organizations are able to promote their group and attract new members. Student Organization Fairs serve to put a face to an organization, allowing for face-to-face interaction and dialogue to assist in determining where an individual fits in.

As I am finishing my four years at the University of the South with a Bachelor of Arts in Politics from one of the US’s top liberal arts colleges, I want to undertake graduate studies in Liberal Arts at Middle Tennessee State University. At the University of the South, the institution has set out a standard liberal arts education, filled with rigorous coursework and impactful departments. Those majors foster close relationships between the faculty and students. But also, the university has allowed me the options to create platforms like Humans of Sewanee, a photography blog that encapsulates the daily life of Sewanee’s students. Before arriving at a graduate program next fall, I will embark on a comprehension examination in politics.

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” (p.180). The closing quote of “The Great Gatsby”, what F. Scott Fitzgerald published in 1925, conveys nostalgia and the concept of self-awareness, particularly present within the psychological literary critique of the modernist novel. The author, appeals to the apathetic reader to strengthen a continuous condemnation of the American attitudes and values after the Great War in a liberal and dependent America. Adhering to a psychoanalytical perspective, F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays privileged American inhabitants through symbolism of omnipresence, characterization through apotheosis, and the contextual recurring theme of failure, to criticize the existential
