Cooking Class in Costa Rica

July 2, 2024 By Emily Roberts, CAS '26

Grip: community health and environment in monteverde, costa rica.

My time in Costa Rica has been spent braving the daily torrential downpours, eating rice and beans, and frantically trying to think of the Spanish future tense verb endings so I can properly communicate with my homestay family.

This week, I visited Lluvias de Gloria, a woman-owned farm located in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. On Monday, I was given a tour around the land with the owner, Doña Hermida. She plucked various fruits, including cas, passionfruit, water apples, and apple bananas, and insisted I taste and smell each and every one of them, and who am I to deny her?

On Tuesday and Wednesday, my severe lack of farming experience caused me to feel incredibly intimidated by the vast jungle before me while volunteering at Lluvias de Gloria. However, Doña Hermida and her grandson enthusiastically showed me the ropes, and the many dogs on the property helped to boost morale. I spent my time sweltering from the Costa Rica sun as Doña Hermida swung her machete to clear leaves and vines all over her 7 acres of land.  Additionally, I learned how to properly place compost to be most effective, the importance of intercropping, and the value of growing organic crops compared to using pesticides. Doña Hermida also spoke extensively about how to combat erosion during the wet season and the lack of rain during the dry season. She also discussed being a woman in a male-dominated field.  Upon leaving, I was handed a bag full of avocados, mangos, and soursop as a parting gift.

Back at the institute on Thursday, I learned how to prepare bags filled with dirt to be planted. With incredibly dirty fingers, I pack the dirt ensuring to keep the bottom of the bag rounded, administering as much pressure I can muster to make the bag compact and ready to be used for planting trees. With my new knowledge of dirt-packing, another intern and I packed around 50 bags that will eventually be used to enhance the forest around the Monteverde reserve.

At the end of each day, I begin my 2.1-kilometer trek back to my homestay in Cerro Plano. On this lovely Friday at 5 PM CST, I gear up, putting on my rain jacket, and rain pants, and wrapping my computer and valuables in sweatshirts with a hope and prayer they will remain dry. I text my Mamá Tica that I will not need dinner tonight, as I have gorged myself on empanadas.

My first two weeks in Monteverde, Costa Rica have been exciting, informative, and incredibly fun. I have loved getting to know the staff at the institute, as well as learning about my homestay family. I am excited for the remainder of my time here, and am looking forward to learning more about sustainability, and hopefully gaining the ability to fluently speak in the future tense!

¡Hasta Luego!

Campus Visits: Northern California Colleges & Universities

• Post author By Dr. Elizabeth Doe Stone
• Post date April 29, 2022
• No Comments on Campus Visits: Northern California Colleges & Universities

California, here we come! Northern California (NorCal) offers natural attractions that range from Yosemite National Park to Monterey Bay. The Bay Area and Pacific coastline are also home to a number of prestigious colleges and universities. Prospective students and their families can easily visit a range of schools in just a few days, though we recommend renting a car for logistical ease. In between campus visits and info sessions, get to know this scenic region, its college towns, and its largest cities—San Francisco and San Jose.

CAMPUS VISITS: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SAMPLE ITINERARY

Day 1: stanford university and santa clara university campus visits.

Begin your college trip with Stanford University , located in California’s “Silicon Valley,” 35 miles south of San Francisco and 20 miles north of San Jose. As you drive up Palm Drive, lined with Canary Island palm trees, you’ll reach the Oval—a central meeting place on Stanford’s campus and the gateway to the university. Throughout campus, you’ll notice Stanford’s distinctive Richardson Romanesque and Missions Revival architectural style—don’t forget a photo op by Memorial Church in the Main Quad! This Quad, designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, houses the School of Humanities & Science. In addition to Stanford’s academic buildings and athletic facilities, check out other campus destinations like the Cactus Garden, designed in the 19 th century, and the Rodin Sculpture Garden, which includes 20 statues by the famous sculptor Auguste Rodin.

With approximately 7,000 undergraduate students and more than 69 major fields of undergraduate study, Stanford offers the benefits of both a large research institution with the community and advising of a liberal arts college. Note that all campus tours require pre-registration (available under the “Engage” tab at  admission.stanford.edu ). If the official tours are all booked, you can still check out Stanford’s many self-guided tour offerings .

Read more about Stanford’s admissions statistics here .

In the afternoon, drive 20 minutes from Stanford to Santa Clara University , where you can begin your visit with a presentation by an admission counselor, followed by a campus tour with one of SCU’s student ambassadors. SCU, a private Jesuit university with roughly 5,000 undergraduates, is located around the historic Mission Santa Clara de Asis and includes beautiful academic buildings built in the Colonial Revival style. SCU is organized into six professional schools, but the five most popular majors are Management, Biology, Computer Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Finance. SCU is well known for its active and loyal alumni network. While you’re on campus, you can learn more about the Alumni Association’s quarterly webinars, alumni book club, and career resources.

After your visit, check out Ulistac Natural Area—a 41-acre nature preservation with several natural habitats. Walk along the Guadalupe River, check out the butterfly garden, and enjoy the nature trails as you digest the information from your first day of visits. If you’re staying near Stanford, you can end your day with dinner in downtown Palo Alto. Restaurants like Bird Dog highlight the local culture and cuisine with flavors that blend Northern California produce with a Japanese influence.

Day 2:   UC Berkeley Campus Visit

UC Berkeley (better knowns as “Cal”) has earned its reputation as the #1 public university worldwide (according to U.S. News and World Report). Cal is well known for its Division I athletic program and history of activism and service, which is reflected in its title as the #1 all-time top producer of Peace Corps volunteers. Although Cal is a large urban school, with more than 1,600 faculty, 35,000 students, and 130 academic departments, it backs up into the Berkeley Hills, which provide a wealth of green space and parklands. Before you go, sign up for Berkeley’s free guided Campus Walking Tour, led by student ambassadors. These 90-minute tours are available seven days a week but book up fast! Tours begin at the Koret Visitor Center (2227 Piedmont Avenue) and include landmarks like the Sather Gate and the Doe Library. For a memorable view of Berkeley and the entire Bay Area, climb up the Campanile, the third-highest bell tower in the world, and enjoy the view from the observation deck.

With enough advance planning, you can buy tickets for a performance at Zellerbach Hall after your campus tour. This multi-venue performance facility on UC Berkeley’s campus attracts well-known dance companies and artists and is one of the largest university-based arts presenters in the United States. Or, visit Downtown Berkeley—the home of the protest movement in the 1960s—where you can check out local music venues, go shopping, try a donut filled with ice cream at local favorite, Milkbomb, or have a meal at Chez Panisse, a restaurant that originated “California cuisine.”

Read more about how to Get into Berkeley .

Day 3: UC Davis Campus Visit

From Berkeley, drive an hour north towards Sacramento and you’ll reach UC Davis , a tier one research university located in “California’s College Town.” Davis is known as a laid back, bike-friendly community with art galleries, farmer’s markets, and accessible trails. Your 90-minute campus visit will begin at the UC Davis Welcome Center, where a student guide will lead you through the core of the 5,300-acre campus and share their undergraduate experience.

During your tour, you might notice the hammocks and hydration stations available—part of UC Davis’s commitment to wellness—or walk past the Social Sciences and Humanities Building, known as the “Death Star” by students due to its shiny metallic façade and maze-like interior. Watch out for cyclists! Bikes are the primary mode of transportation on campus and there’s even a student-run bike barn (a full-service repair shop) in the center of the university.

As one of the top 10 public universities in the country with close to 22,000 undergrads, UC Davis combines the public research university opportunities with a collaborative culture and safe community. It also prides itself on its research opportunities. Every year, 700 students present their work at the annual Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities Conference and many others publish in Explorations , the UC Davis undergraduate journal.

For a quick snack or meal on the go, take advantage of UC Davis’s partnership with local food truck vendors and sample a variety of cuisines. From there, check out the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden, a beautiful space that inspires students to become environmental leaders and a place to learn about sustainable gardening and natural land management.

Depending on your time, interests and school range, we suggest amending the itinerary above by adding (or replacing) campus visits to California State University-Sacramento, UC Santa Cruz, Saint Mary’s College of California, California Polytechnic State University, or the University of San Francisco.

In our Campus Visits Clusters series, we are highlighting different regions of the U.S. with our suggested itineraries. We’ve covered Boston , SoCal and now NorCal. Next up: the Midwest!

College applications are daunting. This program is preparing Native high school students for success

College Horizons is a college prep program for Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian high school students.

According to the most recent U.S. Census , there are only 27 American Indian or Alaska Native people living in State College, Pa. One of them is Lilith Thompson, a rising high school senior and member of the Cherokee nation.

Most of what Thompson knows about what it means to be Cherokee comes from her mother and her family. She and her mother have taken Cherokee language lessons together, and visited her family in Oklahoma who still live on their allotted land . But outside of those lessons from her grandparents and great-uncle, she hasn’t spent much time with many other Native people, including those her age.

Until this past week.

Thompson joined nearly 100 other Native high school students from across the country at the University of Pennsylvania for College Horizons , a program designed to prepare Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian students to apply to college.

Over the course of the week, the rising junior and senior students learned from admissions representatives and faculty members from other colleges and universities about the ins and outs of the application process, and connected with each other over their Indigenous heritage.

Native students are traditionally underrepresented in American colleges and universities — according to research from the Postsecondary National Policy Institute , only 22% of Native Americans aged 18 to 24 were enrolled in college, compared with 40% of the overall population.

At College Horizons, the students and staff discussed what it is like for Native students to transition into college, and how to thrive and find community once they are there.

“It’s been amazing. I’ve never really had something like this and it’s just been really informative and I’ve learned so much. I’ve met people who are Navajo, I’ve met people who are Lumbee, and I met people who are [from the] Cherokee Nation,” Thompson said.

“It’s just very fascinating to see all of our different backgrounds, and to see it doesn’t matter who you are, the pressures that we’ve had, we’re all ... family here. It’s very empowering.”

Nation building

Penn has hosted College Horizons twice before, in 2012 and 2018. The program began in New Mexico in 1998, but has grown to host multiple summer sessions at different universities, and serves about 200 students a year.

At Penn’s College Horizons this past week, students came from 19 states and 33 tribal nations, Alaskan Native villages or Hawaiian Islands.

“We get students from all walks of life in Indian country. Indian country is vast,” said Christine Suina, program coordinator for College Horizons.

“We’ve got students who come from the reservation, who know their language, their culture. We’ve got other students whose families moved to urban areas, to cities, to suburbs.”

The students were split into groups of about a dozen each, and throughout the week they spent time with volunteer counselors who taught them what they will need for the demanding application process. From sharpening their essays and meeting with admissions representatives at a college fair, to learning about financial aid and how to strategize early decision versus regular decision, Suina said that the students left with all of the tools they need to be strong applicants.

But at the same time, she explained that while the focus of the program is on the next few years of the students’ lives, College Horizons also holds a longer view for their impacts.

» READ MORE: What’s stopping more Native Americans from graduating college? The cost, a landmark study finds.

“Our program is really about nation building. Many of our students, they become the first doctors, lawyers, professors [in their families]. Some of the people in our program become the movers and the shakers of Indian country,” she said.

“What we’re working on is helping the students tell their story of who they are, where they come from, knowing that these students are going to go back to their communities and help their people and their families survive [as] we’ve survived all of these years.”

Tina P. Fragoso, coordinator of Native American recruitment at Penn, said that even for someone like her, who has worked with College Horizons for years, bringing so many Native students together makes it “the best week of our lives.”

“For me, to see a courtyard full of Native students, I can never unsee that again. A lot of these students, they may have come from small communities where they’re [the] only [Native] one, or they might come from communities where everybody’s the same tribe,” she said.

To end the week, the program held a “traditional night,” where students were invited to show each other pieces of their own Native heritage, including song, dance and important cultural objects.

“They’re all coming here and seeing other people that are committed to education, who are leaders in their community, and they’re going to be their colleagues. ... I think it really sets them up for what’s going to happen next in our world.”

Who will tell Native stories?

Grace Beard, a member of the Lumbee Nation of North Carolina and a rising senior from Warren, N.J., has been hearing about College Horizons for years. Both of her older siblings went through the program; they raved about the experience meeting other Native students for the first time, and used what they learned to get into Penn and Yale. There was a lot of hype to live up to, but her experience has been just as memorable as her brother and sister’s.

“Honestly, this is definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had,” she said.

Coming into the program, Beard was scared that she would be judged for not being “Native enough.” She doesn’t live on a reservation and she is white-passing; outside of her family, she doesn’t know a single Native person from her hometown or the schools she’s attended.

But that fear quickly went away once she met other Native students whose experiences have been just like hers, and who have dealt with feelings of isolation and endured microaggressions .

“I have never had the opportunity to be around this many Native people before besides tribal gatherings. And ... it’s really nice to be able to talk to other people about struggles that you’ve never been able to talk to anyone about before,” she said.

The college application prep has eased her stress, too. Beard feels more confident about studying for standardized tests now, and said that working with the program’s essay specialist has helped unlock a section of her brain.

She’s not sure yet of what exactly she will study in college, but knows that she wants to use what she learns to tell Native perspectives and stories.

“If I don’t do it and if other native people aren’t going to do it, then who’s going to do it? Who is going to tell these Native stories if you don’t take it into your own hands?” she said.

“In a way, it’s decolonizing the world to share these stories of perseverance after colonization and how so much effort was put to push my people down [yet] we’re still here and we’re still resilient.”

Cheyney University no longer on probation, accreditation reaffirmed

Cheyney University of Pennsylvania is no longer on probation.

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education has reaffirmed the accreditation for the historically Black college.

Last fall, the Commission placed Cheyney on probation while citing deficiencies in areas including "ethics and integrity," "design and delivery of students learning experience" and compliance with financial planning.

The Commission said Cheyney is now in "now in compliance with those standards".

"While we agree with this decision, we remain disappointed by the process to arrive at this long-overdue outcome and will continue to advocate for equity and transparency," the university said in a statement.

The Commission said Cheyney’s next evaluation visit is scheduled for 2030-2031

Your chance of acceptance, your chancing factors, extracurriculars, colleges that offer human resources major.

I'm a junior in high school, and I've become quite interested in the field of Human Resources. Which colleges offer an HR major and have reputable programs?

There are several colleges that offer reputable Human Resources programs. Here's a list of a few notable institutions with strong Human Resources programs:

1. Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) - Offers an HR Management concentration within their undergraduate business program.

2. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign - Offers a bachelor's degree in Human Resource Development through their School of Education.

3. Michigan State University - Offers a bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management through their Eli Broad College of Business.

4. Cornell University - Offers an emphasis in HR within their undergraduate Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) program.

5. Rutgers University - Offers a bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management through their School of Management and Labor Relations.

6. University of Minnesota - Offers a bachelor's degree in Human Resources and Industrial Relations through their Carlson School of Management.

Each of these institutions has strong programs, and the type of HR program may vary due to differences in focus (for example, some might center on business, while others might emphasize education or labor relations). It's important to research each college's program on their website to see which aligns best with your specific interests and goals.

Additionally, consider factors such as location, campus culture, and additional resources when choosing a college. It is also recommended to visit any institutions you're considering and talk to students or professors to get a better understanding of their Human Resources programs. Good luck!
