What A Busy Tuesday
Today was a busy day.University Green interviewed 3 groups.The first group was called The Blockson group.
This group mission is to organize Ebony magazines in the Charles Blockson Collection Library and make maps.
Each map consist of different things such as; fashion, civil rights, beauty products, & who did it first in Philadelphia. I thought that this group helped me realize the importance of history. I learned that back then only fair skinned people were put on the front covers of Ebony's magazine. Dark skinned people were considered unattractive.

The second group was The Emergency Preparedness group. It wasn't an interview. They practiced presenting their powerpoint to us. I think they did well, but they should have gave a little more eye contact.
The last group that University Green interviewed was The Environmental Engineering group.
Due to the oil spill in Alaska, this group goal is to measure the layers of the soil.
Environmental Engineer puts the soil in a machine that shakes & seperates the coarse soil from the fine soil. Through the ITSRG program, this group learned how to read graphs. The graphs show how much soil gets stuck on each layer. I thought that their topic was kind of important because the oil spill is messing up the environment.
