Thousands of Drexel students received email from their friends, professors, or company ads. Now thinking of the last sentence alone, imagine all these things are connected by a simple click of a button and something called the e-mail. I received that same email informing me of a 'College Day' at the parkway.
The 'College Day' was a mean of connecting people to Philadelphia, its people, and the entertainment. Comparing College Day to Johnson's work you can think of it like this: Johnson acknowledged that TVs, games, blogs were making us smarter and I would be sure that he would agree that College Day was a whole day of the mind working at an elaborate constant way. To prove this I should outline how College Day was affecting the people that attended and how 'their mind processed at that time'. College day outlined the perfect definition of cultural IQ. It was where people connected, played, became friends, were entertained, etc...
More than 2,500 students attended imagine that many students bumping into each and introducing themselves while they are watching Motocross events happening in front of their eyes.
This increases their databases of their memory, remembering people's faces, name, and profiles. And this also makes the mind 'cognition memory' according to Johnson to function effectively. Also working on personal skills are being improved especially in an event as big as the college day. All kind of diverse students, from different nationalities and cultures were present. This way you meet all these people and you get to know them, that you would not need to read a book or take courses about the country or about the culture they are from.
Eventually, College Day enhances the person's technical and individual skill in many areas such as learning about different cultures increases the person's general knowledge of the outside world he's living in. Remembering people he met, even if their names were hard to remember there's always another way people that attended that even would remember them. That would be by face recognition or by what they said, did, or personalities. All these things combined makes whoever that attended the 'College Day' event smarter!
Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...
This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.
We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.
That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.
