Foster care system ignores college-aged students
At 18 years old, you find yourself
completely on your own- no place to call
home, no family to spend the holidays with,
nobody to turn to for help or support, no
drivers license and no way to pay for college
or housing.
This is what happens to about 1,600
teenagers in Pennsylvania each year when
they "age out" of the foster care system
without a permanent family.
Disaster Hits Haiti
On Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2010 an earthquake measuring a magnitude of 7.0 devastated Haiti. Just a week later, on Jan. 20, the country faced its aftershock with a recorded magnitude of 6.1.
Since the devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Jan. 12, Cabrini students have joined together and raised over $350 to support relief efforts for a country that is in much need of aid.
Dawn’s Place provides safe haven for abused
Sex trafficking rings have been identified right here in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs. The Coalition for Peace and Justice in Philadelphia created a committee on human trafficking that educated individuals about this horrifying issue.
This committee wanted to do more than just talking about the issue.
Congress debates student aid reform
The federal direct student loan program will increase the amount of direct federal loans and lower their costs to college students, if a bill in Congress is passed. Should the legislation pass, then this will be the biggest change to college financial aid programs since their creation in the 1960s.
Dixon Center offers off-campus recreation activities
Cabrini students were met with clear skies and warm, sunny weather at the beach in Belmar, N.J. on Sunday, Sept. 13 for a fun day of surfing lessons offered by the Cabrini recreation department.
The beach was alive with the hustle and bustle of surfers and spectators for the Belmar Pro Surf Competition, which happened to be taking place at the same time.
Young cross country team has high hopes
The Cabrini men's and women's cross country teams are busy practicing for their upcoming season and getting ready for their first meet on Saturday, Sept. 5 at the Delaware Valley College Invitational in Doylestown, Pa.
While the women's team has some strong returning runners, the men's team is counting on the newcomers, as they have one returning runner, and he didn't even run last year because he was injured.
Picking the perfect college schedule
Let's face it, choosing a class schedule in college can be stressful, especially as a freshman. People often ask: What classes should I be taking? With what professor? How many credits should I have? Should I avoid classes five days a week? And, how can I avoid the dreaded 8:15 class?
What makes the decisions even harder? Not having a major yet.
