After Tiller - Film Screening
|
 | |
After Tiller Official Trailer 1 (2013) - Abortion Documentary HD
|
"In 2009, Dr. George Tiller of Wichita, Kansas-one of the only doctors in the US who performed third-trimester abortions-was gunned down in his church. He was the eighth abortion clinic worker to be assassinated since the Supreme Court passed the Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion, in 1973. There are now only four doctors in the country-all former colleagues of Dr. Tiller-who openly provide late abortions, a procedure considered highly controversial even among those who consider themselves pro-choice. AFTER TILLER weaves together revealing interviews with the doctors with intimate scenes from their private lives and inside their clinics, where they counsel and care for their vulnerable patients. The personal and moral struggles of several of these women are revealed, forcing us to step into the shoes of both patient and practitioner as they confront the full complexity of each decision." The Political Science Club and Sociology Club are co-sponsoring the Film Screening and Panel Discussion of "After Tiller." Monday, March 10th
3:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Room 1440
All students, staff, and faculty are invited. |

Alumni Mentor: Corinne Worland, Cal Poly Pomona
|
As for a little bit about me, I am a first year transfer, although senior status, at Cal Poly Pomona pursuing a degree in Foods and Nutrition with a focus in Dietetics. I am an active member of FN Forum and in the Kellogg Honors College. There is plenty of volunteer work for me to do just between these two clubs of sort. Some of the activities I have helped out with so far has been baking pumpkin bread for the pumpkin festival, volunteering at homecoming, and participating in a fundraiser cookie competition.
I wish I had known that the orientation I had heard about for students coming in from high school would not be the same experience for transfer students. Although it was nice to only spend a day going over the material, it ended up being less of an exciting day and very dry. I am still proud to be a Bronco and happy to have gone to CPP but I would have liked to know not to expect so much. It turned out the open house the AG college put on was much more exciting and fun. Also it is important for individuals to know what path a school is headed in. In our case, if a student really wants to start learning at a quarter pace then Cal Poly would not be the choice for them. We will be switching to a semester system in the next couple of years. Transfers should remember to always look for ways to be connected to knowledgeable people at their new college and participate in as many fun activities as they can without taking too much time away from their studies. Finding the class location prior to the first day is very important as well since campuses may not be as compact as Fullerton or on as level/flat ground.
I happily earned an AA and AS in Physical Education, an Interdisciplinary AA degree with a focus in Math and Science and a few certificates for Massage Therapy. I was not able to obtain being honors certified.
So far I have found getting adjusted to the higher education environment and faster pace to be a little difficult, especially since there was a three month summer vacation between the semester end and quarter start. Furthermore, it has taken some adjustment for me to be okay with what I visualized happening here not being the same as reality. Overall though it is everything I need and have thoroughly enjoyed myself and the education I am receiving.

UCR Summer Research Experience

There is an upcoming summer research experience at University of California Riverside. It will be an excellent opportunity for undergraduates interested in Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and/or Materials Science/Engineering.
This program will be targeting students from local colleges with the objective of inspiring students from e.g. first-in-the-family-to-attend-college backgrounds towards studies in the sciences and engineering.
