Final Sense of Place

Final Sense of Place

1. A sense of place is a strong identity and character that is deeply felt by local inhabitants and by many visitors.

2. My sense of place in Salem has grown since I've been here because no I know where all the good food places and tourist sites are. I also feel at home here since people are starting to get to know me here. 

3. I feel connected here because I have made quite a few friends here and I am very familiar with the campus at this point as compared to a few months ago. I feel very comfortable living here now and I really enjoy living here now, I felt very nervous living here before. 

4. I think that my sense of place will continue to grow over the years and I will actually think of Salem as my second home because I will be so used to the community over all that time. 

Reflection of College Wide Event

Reflection of College Wide Event

1. The college wide event that interested me the most was the Strut Your Mutt one because it was a day to have a walk with dog owners and donate to the local animal shelter in Salem. 

2. I thought that the event was original because you would be able to have fun with the dogs and play with them but also be raising money for a good cause at the same time. 

3. This event helped to contribute to my sense of place in Salem because it helped me realize that small events such as this one can really make an impact to the community as a whole.
