The Senior College Transfer Fair at the 2015 Phi theta Kappa International Convention was held on Thursday, April 16. As a part of the Marketplace events, many colleges and universities from across the country jointed this transfer fair session. Although most of the schools were from Texas, there were about 34 states represented in total.
In the New York section, the Columbia University-School of General Studies stood out not only because it is ranked one of the highest universities in the United States, but also it offers special scholarship for students who are a members of Phi Theta Kappa. This is exciting news for students who want to transfer to a private Ivy League research university. With the help of this type of scholarship, the American dream can be reached a little easier. Also, the School of General Studies is the finest liberal arts college in the United States created for returning and nontraditional students seeking an undergraduate degree.
The Savannah College of Art and Design was one of a few art institutes at the college transfer fair. It has four different campus in Savannah, Atlanta, Hong Kong and France. Although this school does not offer scholarships for members of Phi Theta Kappa, it has SCAD academic scholarships and SCAD achievement scholarships to award student’s academic achievement. It is also the dream school I want to go and study Jewelry Design.

In order to attract more students to the transfer fair, many colleges prepared school souvenirs such as pens, cups, drawstring bags and so on. The whole fair lasted about 2 hours and finished around 11pm. A lot of students wished the event could last longer because they did not have enough time to learn about all the colleges. This was one of the meaningful and successful Marketplace events of Nerd Nation.

Morality?

By Anonymous -
By Luis K. Feliz Friedrick Nietzsche observes that “morality is the herd-instinct in the individual.” On the other hand, Alfred North Whitehead maintains that “what is morality in any given time or place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like, and immorality is what they dislike.” You should see these quotes as points of departure or teasers to goad your ideas. You don’t need to respond to the quotes above, simply express your opinion on the following questions: 1) What is morality? Where or how did you learn to be a moral human being? 2) Does the definition of morality change over time? 3) What is your definition of morality?

Art and Propaganda

By Anonymous -
By Luis Feliz The following quote is from the essay “Why I Write” by George Orwell: “What I have most wanted to do throughout the past ten years is to make political writing into an art. My starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice. When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art.’ I write because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, my initial concern is to get a hearing.” Is the function of literature “to get a hearing?” Please share your thoughts by posting your comments below and don't forget to write your name when you posts your response.

by Djene Keita, This is my reflection on one of the study questions about" Language and Communication" in the Honors Study Guide.  The Human species develops language to communicate and express thoughts. Among the many ways of communicating such as body language, spoken language is  singularly used by the humans and, that has distinguished our specie from other species living on the earth.
