Campus Life
The Alpha Tau Epsilon chapter of Phi Theta Kappa is proud to announce several accomplishments.
Congratulations to our students and to all the new students inducted into Alpha Tau Epsilon on March 10, 2011.
The young, the involved, the Philadelphians
When Claire Robertson-Kraft first moved to Philadelphia 10 years ago to attend the University of Pennsylvania, she was no fan of Philly.
“I had low expectations of what Philadelphia had to offer because it didn’t have the best of reputations,” Robertson- Kraft said. “Now I’m a big advocate for people staying here after they graduate because I have seen a different side of the city.”
Flip-photos fascinate at Southeast Center
You could argue the worth of a photo far beyond a thousand words, but when the people in your picture frames begin to move, it will leave you with none.
On Feb. 10 Campus Life held an event at the Southeast Center that featured flip-photos, a style of holographic photography where one card, featuring superimposed ridges, alternates between multiple pictures depending on the angle one views it.
Police training no stunt for this cadet
People fall off buildings and get hit by cars. Scintillating fights transpire before the eyes of millions as each member of the conflict effortlessly jumps through the air, performing flips and kicks that most minds can’t conceive of.
For many, this can be observed only while watching a major motion picture.
Pitch perfect: Belcastro revives chorus at DCCC
Students who enjoy singing and learning about music now have an opportunity to practice their passion: the chorus class, MUS 130.
The chorus is composed of students from differing musical backgrounds and influences from big band jazz to religious choral settings. Thomas Bryson, a music major who sings bass for the chorus grew up listening to jazz music.
"Every piece of music tells a story," Bryson, 20, said.
It’s late on a Sunday evening and Tim Kearny, 20, is eager to begin a new week at Delaware County Community College.
The agenda for Kearny this week doesn’t look like the average full-time student, however. There won’t be any math, science, or English courses to complete in hopes of moving on to a fouryear college.
Kearny will be at school for 40 hours each week, large portions of which will include intense physical training.
