Please summarize the final deliverables your team created. How will these deliverables be valuable to the community? If you could waive a wand to automatically implement one of the recommendations, which would it be and why? Our final deliverable was the asset map focusing on Connellsville but it also included some of the larger assets…

ATP Reflection Pt. 2
My experience working on this project didn’t just expand my knowledge of Connellsville and the Appalachian region, it also helped me develop important skills that will help me throughout the rest of my college career and beyond. The first two major skills that matured immensely for me during the course of this project was teamwork…
And That’s a Wrap on Introduction to Global Health, Fall 2021!
Throughout a quick, eventful, and memorable semester, my understanding of teaching changed by acknowledging the importance of a transformative, rather than a transactional approach. By engaging in rich discussions with students on their experiences working in the healthcare field, Dr. Salter’s experiences as a former journalist in Central America, and Dr. Fapohunda’s academic and experiential…
My ATP Experience: A Reflection
As the semester comes to an end, my work on the Appalachian Teaching Project comes to an end as well (for now).The 3rd of December marked our last presentation for the project and our last official session together as a group. But, even before the time of our final presentation, our team had already produced…
Finishing the College Decision
I learned a lot from my time working on The College Decisionator. Before this project, I had never done any design or programming work in a professional setting. Working on a real product in a small team was a much different experience than developing personal projects on my own. I feel that while I learned…

My CUTF experience this semester brought me a whole new perspective on teaching and the work that goes into it. There were things I already anticipated doing going into this experience–such as providing feedback, adding to class discussions, etc. as these are the things most teaching assistants do inside and outside the classroom. My most…
My CUTF: “I open at the close”
Annabeth Collis I open at the close … It’s hard to believe that this semester is almost over. It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that I was drafting and writing my midterm analysis exemplar for my Harry Potter class. Since August, our class has covered a lot of material, including all…
My CURF: The Promise of Moderate Cosmopolitanism
As I have already noted in my past blog posts, the goal of my research was to derive a non-egoistic cosmopolitanism from Aristotle’s writings on friendship. However, I think the more interesting question is, what kind of cosmopolitanism does any interpretation of Aristotle warrant? Before answering the question, I want to quickly summarize the development…
CURF: A Semester of Growth
My time in the lab this semester has led to me developing greatly as a scientist. If there’s one thing I learned, it’s that not every experiment leads to the results you were hoping to see, and that is ok. I have been met with inconclusive results after hours of hard work, which is always…
