By Jessica BrownBeing a transfer student is a different kind of experience from the usual freshman life. I received my Associates in Engineering Science from Rock Valley College (RVC) in Rockford, IL in the Spring of 2014. After visiting several schools and filling out applications, I chose The Milwaukee School of Engineering as the place I would complete my degree in mechanical engineering. I moved to Milwaukee in the late summer of 2014 from my home in Rockford, IL. I was ready for new experiences and to be out on my own.

By Amanda Mudlaff Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970. Every year on this same day since it is continuously celebrated. People celebrate Earth Day by giving back to their community and back to the Earth. Many organizations like the Army Corps of Engineers and Federal Emergency Management Agency work to give back to nature as well as give back to those in need. Click the button below to view Ron Finley's story. He plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA for fun, for defiance, for beauty, and to offer some alternative to fast food. Earth Day may have a specific date designated for helping the environment, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t contribute year round. Let’s take a pact to do whatever we can, no matter how miniscule the task may be, in order to better our environment and the others within it.
By Sandra Mejia As Founder’s Day approaches, I cannot help but reflect on the early days of Kappa Sigma Mu- specially the numerous meetings, constitution days, and nights staying up late learning more about each other. KSM was founded by six amazing women: Allison Raison, Nour Elqaq, Kelsey Weinkauf, Maria Bintz, Maria Garcia-Perez, and myself, Sandra Mejia. We had many people help us shape KSM and we will forever be grateful to them. In honor of Founder’s Day, here are 9 things the Founders would like our current and future Sisters to remember.
By Abby Born As we enter into March, we enter in with fresh minds as Spring is clearly on its way. The bitter cold winds are finally beginning to subside, and the piles of gray snow that have tormented us all winter are finally starting to thaw. It is difficult to begin March without the prospect of positive change, as the beauty that has been trapped under the ice since November is finally freed. How fitting it is that March is the month to recognize Women’s History, and more specifically, that March 8th is International Women’s Day.
By Maya George The first official celebration of Black History was in 1926. The second week of February was designated as a National Negro History week by The Association for the Study of African Life and History. Today, the entire month of February is dedicated to recognizing historical Black accomplishments and supporting the present Black Community. The theme for 2016’s Black History Month is “A Century of Black Life, History, and Culture.” Check out more at the link below!
