First Blog of the new academic year

Hi Readers! I have the privelage to be the first blogger of the new Dominican year! Since this is my first blog, I think it would be best for me to introduce myself. First of, my name is David and I am a Junior and Dominican. My major is pre-med molecular cell biology with a double minor in chemistry and mathematics. I also have the honors of representing the student body as this year's Student Body Vice President. I am also affiliated with the environmental club, gay straight alliance, and the newly formed Latino Cultural Club.

As student body vice president, it is my duty to represent the students in top administrative meetings and most important govern all student government meetings. The job is tedious but I love doing what I do best and that is connected with people. It is important to have the voice of the students be heard and I believe I am the right person of the job!

Well, enough of all the boring details. Dominican has been very lively during this first month of school. Student government has been introducing tons of activities for students to participate in. Every week we have movie night on the lawns and the turn outs have been phenomenal! Some movies we've watched include Freedom Writers, Distubria, Happy Feet, Hills have Eyes 2, and this week's film will be Premonition! It's good to see Dominican students conjugated together to watch the feature film. I enjoy sitting with various students and seeing their reactions and or laughs to certain lines in movies. It's just a good way to connect and build community here on our campus!

It's that time of year again where students prepare to sail the S.F. bay and dance the night away under the stars. Yup, it's that annual time of year for Boat Dance! This Saturday Dominican will pack up most of its students and travel to the S.F. to have a great time on the Horn Blower boat! I just found out this traditional dance has been going on for 20 years now! THAT'S A LONG TIME and to see it popular as ever is amazing! I know students will enjoy this spectacular event!

Well, I think that's about it for me to report thus far. I have plenty of meetings to attend the next couple of days so I will for sure update you on what's more to come on campus!

Oh yeah...Wish me luck on my Adv. Microbiology and Histology exams!

Peace and Happy Monday!

-David
