    This year’s event we did the theme of Remembering Our Students/ Recordando Nuestros Estudiantes. In relation to the current movements regarding Black Lives Matter, police brutality, Ayotzinapa 43, school shootings, and indigenous women missing. I think this event is important to our campus, because SCSU is a diverse campus with very close minded individuals. So this brings the aspect of culture and tradition with the Dia de Los Muertos celebration and MEChA’s activist focus of political issues. These two combined can provide knowledge and awareness to those students who are unaware or misinformed. As well as taking on the problem of cultural appropriation with the recent American popularization of sugar skulls and Dia de…

    The history of sports goes back as far as humankind. The same way humans have evolved from beginning stages, is the same way sports have too. So this means a variation of sports have been around since around 1800 B.C, worldwide. In that time, humans played for life or death; it was all about survival of the fittest. One area that had their community involved with sports was Mesoamerica. Mesoamerica is a region that extends from the desert region of northern Mexico, southward to include Belize, Guatemala, as well as western Honduras and El Salvador. Ulama was a popular sport that was played in Mesoamerica, and even in modern time it is played In Mexico, (Mechikoff, p.39). From reading about this ball game, I learned about how the game was played and the difficulty level, why it was played, and how it compared to modern day sports now.…

    There are very few events on the weekends, when residents are just sitting in their rooms because they are bored. This event was aimed to enhance the experience for residents. School spirit is fairly nonexistent at this school, but this event was trying to get residents out and about and happy to be at NJIT for the weekend. Also, the idea was if we could keep having fun events on the weekends, more people would be likely to stay. I love NJIT, but nothing happens on the weekend because the school does not care as much about residents as they care about commuters. So this event brought residents out, when they were stressing about finals, and gave them a good…
