	Patricia Coughlan's "Last Lecture" By Jacqueline Klecak December 10, 2012 - 8:35am “We need to remember that we are not climbing a ladder to get to the top. We are walking through life together.” These are some of the wise words that adjunct public speaking professor, Patricia Coughlan, shared with her family members, students, and professors at her “Last Lecture” presentation on Tuesday. Coughlan stated several times that she felt, “tremendously humbled,” to have been chosen to give this speech. She discussed, “how to live a life of interest,” and how all her experiences and everyone she has come into contact with has shaped who she is. Coughlan and the audience both got emotional and laughed often when she was shared what she has learned from her experiences along with personal family photos, mementos from her life, and stories...

	Have Contiki, Will Travel - Win the Trip of a Lifetime! By Ameara Harb February 14, 2012 - 11:39am It’s safe to say that for most of us at Rowan, studying abroad is part of our college plan. But even with a study abroad plan in the works (or behind you), when Spring begins to peak through the clouds, the travel itch starts, and dreaming about an epic Euro-trip or an Australian adventure becomes a daily distraction when struggling through our oh-so-boring lectures. But planning a trip abroad can be scary, time consuming, and let's not forget--super expensive. Lucky for us, Her Campus has partnered with Contiki, the #1 travel company for young people, offering over 200 guided tours and pre-planned trips in 40+ countries, exclusively for 18-35-year-olds—all for amazingly low prices!...
	Wedding Tales By Erica Zolinas February 7, 2012 - 8:17pm Whenever I mention that I’m engaged, it’s always the same reaction; the women “aw” before remembering to congratulate me, and the men just sit there and do nothing. Steven McDermott, a 22-year-old microchip manufacturing engineer at IBM, and I have been dating for 5 years. During this time, we went to school a 7 hour drive apart 9 months out of the year. The other 3 months were spent 3 hours apart from each other because of our internships. We made it work though with relative ease. When people ask how we did it, I just say we kept ourselves busy and talked when we had the chance via text, iChat, or Skype. READ MORE
	Fun Christmas Gift Ideas For Him And Her By Justine Tellez December 11, 2011 - 4:33pm If you think about it too hard, picking out a Christmas present for someone is the hardest thing to do. You can over think things, then decide on something, then, oh wait, over think again. We want to think outside the box, but we still want the person to enjoy their present for more than a day; yet, being too practical can sometimes blow up in your face. So, what to do? I found a few websites that can help you look beyond the Macy’s gift cards and the corny shirts they might not like as much as you thought. Some of these websites have stores out there that you can visit in person, but the location might prove a bit difficult to reach, and who knows if they’ll even have what you want once you arrive. For the girls-to-guys gift:...
	VS Fashion Show: Men, We Still Eat! By Justine Tellez December 4, 2011 - 3:15pm My opinion might not be shared by all, but it needs to be said. Since the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was broadcast this past Tuesday, I have seen multiple articles discuss the detrimental effects the fashion show is having on teenage girls, in particular this Onward State article entitled Victoria, We've Got Our Own Secret. In the article, written by a man, we see examples of the types of things girls were tweeting during the show. The tweets included, “NEVER. EATING. AGAIN.” or, “BRB, starving myself. Thank you, VS fashion show.” In response to these tweets, the writer says, “I quickly realized that this is a BIG American issue.”...
