Upcoming Programs Hosted by i3b
Transitioning into college is not always easy… especially if you are the first in your family to attend, if you are a part of a marginalized community, or if you regularly find yourself with more questions than answers. Don’t worry; we are here to help!

Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) has partnered with the Academic Success Center to bring you three sessions that focus on helping you develop the skills and tools you need to experience first-year success! Sessions will occur from 6:00-7:30 p.m in the Mosaic Center (232B Commons Building). Not only will we explore academic success skills and principles, but we will also explore tools for navigating issues of discrimination, bias, and microaggressions within academic spaces and focus on the many ways our identities are assets within the college environment.

9/28: Exploring Success Skills and Tools for First Year & Transitioning Students - This session will explore university resources and key skills for first-year transition success and connect you with upper-class students who share their stories and recommendations for first-year success.

10/5: Knowing What to Expect and How to Navigate Identity-Based Challenges - This session will explore issues of bias, discrimination, and microaggressions and how they show up in university spaces. Students will leave with tools and skills to help them navigate identity-based challenges during the academic transition.

10/12: Bringing YOU into the Classroom - Have you heard of Cultural Wealth? Do you know that your identities are assets in university spaces? This session will explore how you bring Cultural Wealth into the classroom and introduce you to returning students who have learned how to advocate for themselves and be authentic in classroom spaces despite sometimes being the only one who shares their identity.

National Hispanic Heritage Month has begun - celebrating those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.  September 15, 16 and 18 celebrate independence for at least six of these countries - which is valued and celebrated especially by community members and luminaries with disabilities.  Respect Ability shares their robust list of luminaries here - and while it does mention Frida Kahlo, an artist who contracted polio at age 6  and survived a horrific bus accident at 18, taking up painting during her recovery, and leaving an indelible mark on the world - other luminaries include:

Mexican writer and activist Gabriela Brimmer whose life is chronicled in the 1987 film, Gaby: A True Story

Maria Soledad Cisternas - Chilean lawyer and disability activist who was involved with drafting the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and chaired that UN Committee, and served as Special Envoy.

Tony Coelho Congressman from California and primary author and sponsor of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and celebrated its 32nd Anniversary this past summer.

Eva Middleton of Belize brought disability awareness and justice to her home country of Belize.

Vik Pineda brings activism and advocacy and awareness from his work on the west coast.

Annie Segerra (also known as Annie Elainey) cites Frida Kahlo as a huge influence and has her YouTube channel here 

Lizzie Velasquez 's Dare to Be Kind anti-bullying campaign was informed by her lived experience with her peers and online.

ADS closes this invitation to celebrate Hispanic/Latine heritage with Elizabeth Acevedo's powerful poetry, calling forth beauty within the reach of her words.

Name:  Maddie Gruel

Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Northrop Grumman (Internship)

Position Title: Manufacturing Engineer Intern

Major or Program: Mechanical Engineering 

Current Class Level: Senior

Work Term: Summer 2022

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities. 

"My internship at Northrop Grumman was/is (I’m still interning here part time) an unforgettable experience. To be able to work for a company that does such substantial work for the military is quite an honor. It’s amazing going to work every day and knowing your making a true impact on warfighters' lives! 

One task that was consistently day to day was a few meetings which helped give me an insight as to how a production team works together through all the different roles. 

However, my day to day at Northrop was always a little different each day which is something I loved. The specific goal of the projects I would tackle would be to increase production through the process of researching issues and coming up with the best solution to resolve them."


Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I heard of the position in late January and applied in early February. The interview process was throughout the months of February and March and by April I had received an offer!


What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?  

The people I work with! Everyone is so kind and really wants to see you succeed and reach your goals! 



How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

I believe I have made an impact through my work by always coming to work ready to give a 100% effort every day. Knowing I came to work every day with this mindset and seeing myself come up with solutions that helped increase production and gained me recognition made me feel my work was truly impactful and helping warfighters!



What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

Get out of your comfort zone, this is the time to take risks and try something new!

Public Policy 206

What does it mean to get paid for work?  What does the employer believe is communicated by wages to the worker, and how does the worker interpret wages received?  How do onlookers interpret that transaction?  Wages are a thin mode of communicating about a thick relationship—an economic, social, cultural, and moral relationship. 

This presentation examines the German case at the moment when free labor was enshrined by law.  Napoleon defeated Prussia in 1806, and Prussian reformers persuaded their king to make many reforms. One was the October Edict of 1807, which ended serfdom and established equality before the law with respect to occupation.  In fact, though, there already were free waged laborers in Prussia before this dramatic moment.  Did the meaning of their wages change, now that everyone was to enjoy freedom of occupation and be paid for their labor?
