Let’s Eat! – Maggie Gaylord

Like most people, I love to eat. I love to try new dishes, revisit old favorites, and if you ask my sisters, essentially eat whatever is put in front of me. I have always thought the reason I love food so much is because of the taste. While it is Read more…

The Shoe Does Not Fit – Anna Ahlquist

On our visit to BASF, a chemical company, no one in our group had shoes that met the protocol required for visitors. Rather than being frustrated with us, BASF went out of their way to find shoes for us all to wear. It was incredibly kind of them to accommodate Read more…

Comparisons – Ben Deacon

Strictly Business – Brittany Szarowicz

Let me just say that I love my major. I have often been asked “why business?” “Do you really want to sit in a cubicle for the rest of your life?” Sometimes it was hard to think of any actual reasons I had made this decision. Back in Rochester, Enactus Read more…

Going Beyond the Surface – Grace Turner

Swimming, sunbathing, and playing volleyball at a beach resort in Brazil? Now that’s a cultural experience I can get behind!

Connecting through Dance- Tyler Lipina

Of all things I could be good at, there was no way that dancing was going to be one of them. At least, that is what I thought before attending our Brazilian dance class. We were taught how to do Zouk for most of the class, along with other dance Read more…

Potential Problems – Sylvia Leary
