The “Just for Girls” video design camp, that will be hosted by the Digital Convergence Lab in June, is a great opportunity for girls to take an interest in technology- based careers.

The camp will show girls how to design and play their own video games. This is a creative way to introduce young girls to the fun design aspects of technology. Stereotypically, video games are considered more of a boys’ past time. I applaud the Digital Convergence Lab for helping to break that stereotype by giving young girls the chance to learn these new skills.

Fail:

The program prioritization reports released Monday are being taken much too seriously. While the topic of program prioritization is serious in that many people have invested hours and hours into crafting these detailed reports, it must be noted that the reports are recommendations. Nothing in these reports is set in stone. These reports are meant to help the university make decisions and properly allocate resources, but it is by no means a definite plan.
