Bootcamp for the Non-Recruitment

Students, Alumni Take Admissions 101

By Kim-Jenna Jurriaans

There were no board games or TV in the C-shop on Monday night. Instead there were Powerpoint slides and scribbling pens, as the newly formed student recruitment group met for a second time, this time to familiarize themselves with the ins and outs of the admissions funnel.

“We want to send out a message that Antioch is still alive and they should check it out,” says Marysia Walcerz, one of the students behind the project to get the community directly involved in the admissions project. “Since we can’t as a college officially recruit yet, we try to bring students and alumni into the process of attracting new students.” Continue reading Bootcamp for the Non-Recruitment

Thank the Gods that this blasted semester is almost over! Let the revelry commence!

Dela, I adore you. Thank you for making my term so wonderful. xo -niko

“Poopularity Planner” and “Gorilla recruitment” are less funny when they seem when you’re wasted

Nicole, I love you I’m glad you’re here. I’m sorry about the shit that went down this weekend

I found your sock 🙂

Kelsey, this place won’t be the same without you 🙁 Emma

To whoever called North Friday Night saying “reverse racism doesn’t exist” this is no way to win an argument. It only puts the people’s backs up, and makes an agreement less likely -Lincoln Continue reading DeClassifieds

Announcements

Do you have a contact with an organization that works primarily with youth? If so, you’re helpful to the admissions and recruitment process!!

We’re looking for students who have worked with organizations who could help us network to spread the word that Antioch is open and draw attention to the kind of students we want at Antioch.  For example, I worked with GLSEN – the gay, lesbian, straight education network in high school and could help get the word out to gay/straight alliances about Antioch College.

If you have any type of connection, we’ll help you with the work that needs to happen to make them an ally of Antioch!

Just send me an email or call/stop by the office,

Senior Project

I began working on The Rising when I was traveling in Eastern Europe. Originally the idea was to write a series of songs about war, but almost everything I was coming up with felt contrived and irrelevant. It was so frustrating that I almost gave the whole thing up, but then I got to Poland.

I had several very intense and important things happen to me while I was in Poland and they defined my focus from then on. I began reading about the Nazi genocide, Jewish resistance, and Jewish culture. In a bookshop in Kazimierz, the Jewish neighborhood in Krakow, I picked up “Survival in Auschwitz” by Primo Levi, “Words to Outlive Us” about the Warsaw Ghetto and the uprising that took place there, “A Hole in the Heart of the World: The Jewish Experience in Eastern Europe After WWII,” “Smoke Over Birkenau,” and a book of stories of Jewish Mystics throughout the centuries.

I began to write. I had some words and guitar parts at first, then gradually the songs came together. I wanted them to be for a band so I wrote for electric guitar, bass, and drums.

When I was 17 or 18 I saw a video recording of Metallica playing with the San Francisco Symphony. Since then I’ve wanted to orchestrate songs. I figured my Senior project was a good time to do just that. Continue reading Senior Project

ComCil Update

By Natalie Martn
Chris Biesele came to Comcil to present a potential change to the Leg Code regarding flyers. A resident of North, Biesele has become  frustrated at the multitude of flyers in his hall, especially posters put up on surfaces other than the official bulletin board and posters that stay up long after they are relevant. As a remedy, Biesele suggested limiting flyer posting to residents of the specific hall.
After lengthy discussion of the proposal, Comcil member Beth Goodney noted that many of Biesele’s complaints were already addressed in the Leg Code, but were not being enforced. Events Manager Rory Adams-Cheatam suggested that “the issue isn’t so much revising the Leg Code, but following what’s already in there.” Continue reading ComCil Update
