Senior Interviews

Hey everyone!

This is our last video of the semester and we wanted to interview a couple of seniors by asking them one simple question: "What advice would you offer to incoming freshman about college?"

We searched for different types of seniors to give us their honest opinions and suggestions on how to become a well-rounded student and be able to have a great time in college.

We were able to get to know the seniors and we had a fun time doing this project. Some seniors gave advice that was related to one another. A few gave short and simple answers while others gave much more. Each senior was able to give their own advice based on their own college experience.

We hope that many young students, especially incoming freshman, take their advice so they can prepare themselves for the new life ahead of them.

Advocacy Day!

Hey guys!

Welcome to Advocacy Day!

Advocacy Day is a day where 150 students, faculty, administrators, trustees and alumni from the 14 state universities are meeting to discuss the role the universities play in their respective campus, local and regional communities throughout Pennsylvania.

We were able to represent Clarion University along with 4 other students, President Karen Whitney, David Love, and 2 alumni representatives. This event was held on April 4th/5th in the Capitol in Harrisburg. We had the opportunity to meet with the House of Representatives and state Senate.

Throughout the 2 day event, we interviewed participants and met new people, especially other students from different universities. We were so lucky to have the opportunity to go to the Capitol and meet the state representatives. The Capitol building was absolutely breathtaking and all together was a great experience for us.

We hope you like the video!

The Rec Center!

Hi everyone!

We wanted to show you what you will experience by going to the Rec Center. The Rec is the perfect place to workout, with a very nice track and cardio system on the top floor and a weight room on the ground floor of the building. 

If you aren't the person to workout, you can enjoy playing some games of basketball, volleyball, floor hockey, etc. If you also have a passion for rock climbing, then the Rec is the place for you! 

The Rec Center is located near Gemmell and is open seven days a week! Students can sign up throughout the year to participate in fall or spring intramural sports such as, volleyball, basketball, hockey, racquetball, dodgeball, etc. There are many activities going on at the Rec Center and they truly are a lot of fun! 

Since we were on our way to workout at the Rec, we were able to capture some of the moments of the Greek life volleyball tournaments, basketball games, and other students enjoying the cardio and weight room. 

We hope you enjoy!

Student Admissions Day

Hello again!

We wanted to show you something that happens frequently here at Clarion University. Student Admissions Day is an event that occurs throughout the year. Students who have been accepted into the university come to visit the campus, take a tour, and talk to different professors in their field of study.

Student Admissions Day runs through the Admissions office and occurs in Gemmell.  The students and their families are taken on tours of campus academic buildings and student housing including Suites on Main and Campus View.

The students who work in the Admissions office give the tours, and are able to help guide the incoming students and their families around campus.

Since we work through Admissions, we were able to capture some of the moments of the event featuring faculty, incoming students & families to show you what it is like to experience Clarion University.

Wingo

Hey guys! Gina and Kaela here!

Clarion University strives to give its campus community a better social environment and students and faculty want to add more Friday and Saturday social events throughout the year. One of the new events recently introduced was Wingo night.

 We had a great time at Wingo night and wanted to share our experience with you. What is Wingo you might ask? Well, it is a night where students can get together, play bingo, and eat some delicious wings

It was held in Gemmell food court from 8-11 p.m. on a Friday night and was offered by Student Senate. It was a very fun, sociable event where not only do you get to meet new people by playing bingo, you also get the chance to win all kinds of cool prizes including gift cards, goodie baskets, Keurigs, a TV, and more! 

Wingo had a great turn out and hopefully produces an even bigger turn out next time.  After watching this video, maybe you will want to participate in Wingo. We hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching!

Let's Go to the Den!

Hello everyone! Welcome to our first post!

Our names are Gina and Kaela, and we are known as TwinsOnMain. We are students at Clarion University and our goal is to show young students what it is like to experience college as a freshman. You will be seeing us roaming the entire campus as we participate in different activities or events here at Clarion University. So since we live on Suites On Main, we decided to show you guys our favorite place to go right now, and that is The Den brought to you by Denny's!   

In this video, we captured some footage of the entire environment. We are showing off how The Den is a comfortable place to sit with friends and enjoy a tasty meal. We present to you what it is like to do the simple stuff; such as, waiting in line to order, getting a drink, and hanging out with friends or meeting new people. We hope you enjoy watching our video and take the advantage to go visit The Den! We promise you will not regret it!
