Recently I attended a lecture at school called Virtually Religious, presented by a professor from Ithaca College. The topic was quite interesting, as it discusses virtual worlds and how it ties in with religious meaning.
Anyhow, what struck me with that was how we had quite a heated debate after the lecture in one of my COR Classes. One other faculty even joined us and participated with the debate also. The faculty was bringing in a new concept that our professor had overhead him voice at the Q and A at the end of the lecture, and decided to bring him in. And what started out as a discussion turned into a debate that then completely derailed at the end of class – but it was a fun, constructive debate. Very enlightening too.
Champlain regularly holds different kinds of activities and its IDX Student Activities hub has quite a bit to do – and it has a really comfortable lounge. That lounge is an excellent place to eat in between classes. They have pretty comfortable seats (seriously).
Anyhow, when I still lived in the dorms, we would move along to the IDX every now and then. They have some pool tables and a table tennis set up over there so it’s honestly not a bad place to just chill in for the weekends sometimes.
Champlain College has this journal stuck everywhere – The Stall Street Journal. And as the name suggests, yes it is everywhere. Which is cool, since it effectively tells everyone in Champlain what activities there are going around each week. I really thought that it was an excellent idea and got a really good kick out of the name anyway.
Anyway, just bringing you guys a little perspective into the student activities situation at Champlain. They offer free buses to the mountains too – obviously have your own car would be better but if you don’t, at least you will still be able to get up there!
