PiCC Political Debate

Welcome to another issue of The Odyssey!  Here at Purdue we are lucky to have hundreds of honorable guest speakers from around the world sit down with our student organizations and share their experiences and insight. 

Coming up on November 20th the Purdue Institute of Civic Communication will be hosting a political discussion/debate in the PMU South Ballroom from 5:30-6:30 p.m. The discussion will feature Michael Steele and Howard Dean, and will be moderated by Steve Scully.

The Purdue Institute for Civic Communication (PICC) offers students a chance to “become better citizens and informed contributors to democracy”. The organization is a “nonpartisan initiative for applied and experiential learning at Purdue University, made possible by the Bill Daniels Fund of Denver and a partnership with C-SPAN, the Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network”. If this sounds like an organization you’d be interested in, check out their website at https://picc.purdue.edu/

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
