U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Fellow to speak at Flagler College

By Marissa Marinan | gargoyle@flagler.edu

For Jennifer Rodgers, who is lecturing about the Holocaust at Flagler on Monday, March 19, being teased by her grandfather in German and French as a child resulted in more than a love of languages.

Rodgers attributes her interest in history to her grandfather, who rarely spoke of his experiences in World War II. His silence, she said, gave her the drive to learn more, immerse herself in history, and share her findings with the world. As a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, Rodgers has turned an enjoyment for history into a life-long passion.

Student-led flash mob promotes worthy cause

By Teaira Haynes | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Wednesday, March 7 for many Flagler College students was a dismal day. It was cloudy with the threat of rain. The kind of day some would prefer to spend in bed rather than on campus. However, those who just so happened to be in the West Lawn at 11:50 a.m. had a musically inclined surprise in store for them.

“Sometimes I think what if our school was like High School Musical,” said sophomore Giovanna Saunders, who just so happened to be in the right place at the right time when Flagler College students began a synchronized dance in front of Kenan Hall.

By Joshua Santos | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Earlier this semester, the Flagler Foundations of Excellence Committee on Diversity asked students about their views on Flagler’s culture. While the results did not surprise anyone, they did indicate that most students are comfortable with the atmosphere.

Leslie Robison, head of the diversity committee and art professor, said having a more diverse campus will “create a more vibrant and open community.” She said there are efforts to attract a more diverse set of students, but that in the end it is up to the student.

Flagler making room for big class on campus

By Tiffanie Reynolds | gargoyle@flagler.edu

On registration day, Heather Cribbs logged onto myflagler to find that the class she needed to take was no longer listed. It’s a scenario that has happened more than usual this semester, from seniors to freshmen finding more classes full or taken out all together.

“If you can’t get into it or your classes coincide, then you kinda have to choose your battle,” said Cribbs, a junior theater arts major.

Junior Johanna Falzone, a fine arts major, also had the same problem. The lack of class choice not only made it difficult to schedule her classes, but also made her feel under-appreciated as an upperclassman.
