As a homework exercise, we were told to brainstorm communities we would be interested in either joining or learning more about. Here are some of the things I came up with:
- Smart Car
- Facial Hair
- Spanish
- G5
- Peace Corps
- Stanford
- Homeowner
- Married
- NASA
- Musically Inclined
- Green
- Dancing (both the classical and contemporary)
- Ware Lab
- Mentoring
- Fraternity (or Sorority)
Although I found this to be a great way to get my ideas (if not my humor) out on paper, my ideas seemed to particular. I wanted to learn about something much broader, I wanted to learn about my newest home as a whole, Virginia Tech. Although I have been told that researching an on campus community such as the many clubs and organizations (not to mention the community in a broad sense) is much more difficult than researching a community off campus, I am intrigued to take the challenge. What makes Virginia Tech so big and diverse, while at the same time so intimate? What is a Hokie, and while on that topic, what is the Hokie Nation? What really brought all of us to this sleepy little town of Blacksburg? And, ultimately, what sets Virginia Tech apart from all other schools around the country and even around the world? These are just some of the major questions I hope to answer in my exploration. Until then, Gobble Gobble Gobble!
