Yay! You’ve adjusted. You got used to the type of research you were doing, made a group of friends, and most importantly learned how to drive in Detroit without getting lost every time! Of course there have been plenty of challenges, but you’ve done your best in tackling them and getting them resolved quickly. I …
Wow who would have know that 10 weeks ago I would be feeling bittersweet at the thought of this program coming to an end? This summer was beyond amazing and I can honestly say that it is one of the best summers of my life. At the beginning of this program I didn’t really know …
I’d have to say the most helpful seminar was a few weeks ago when Lorelle returned and we started brainstorming in our groups for our symposium posters. I found the storytelling to be far more useful that I thought it would be, and as a group we were able to bounce our ideas off of …
I admit, it was tough waking up for seminar sometimes. But at the end of class each Friday, I always left feeling very motivated and curious as to how I would apply what we learned to the rest of my project. The most interesting parts of the seminar were hearing from the different community organizations …
How might we build a community? Is the question that I think was propose to my group. However, its a question that is important to everyone because everyone is involved with some type of community in their work; whether is a business community, a municipal community, or a neighborhood community. But I dont want to …
So, here at CBRP, we don’t have fridays. Well, we do have fridays, I mean, we haven’t lost an entire day of the week to the void. But we don’t have traditional “last day of the work week, everybody is grateful” fridays. For that we have thursdays. I like to call them “thursday-fridays”. But friday-fridays …
Seminars were much like having a DCBRP “class” every Friday morning. Rather than a time to reflect on and discuss our experiences at our sites, seminars were geared towards teaching us something new and focusing on a different topic each week. Sometimes the speakers gave us a what I considered to be a lecture, just …
I always look forward to Friday…and not just because it’s almost the weekend. Our seminars have been a great addition to our workweek. They provide the opportunity to learn, discuss, and engage one another in conversation about important topics that we’re experiencing around us. Each week is a different topic, led by various speakers from …
Fridays can be dreadful sometimes. Waking up early can seem impossible at times, but Friday mornings are always productive mornings too. Friday seminars are a crucial part of our living and learning experience in the Detroit community based research program. It not only gives everyone in the program a chance to come together as a …
I’m not gonna lie, I’m not one for powerpoint presentations. They’re boring and distracting and just words on a screen when I’d rather just see pictures. If you want to tell me about something, please at least act like you’re interested. I don’t want to hear you read the words off the screen and then …
