The May 4th Visitor's Center was small and nicely done. We took an hour reading everything. Walking…read morein was like going back to the 60s and early 70s. There were lots of b/w photos, yet colorful psychedelic posters, too. The history of the U.S. during the Civil Rights era was portrayed up to the shooting of the KSU students on May 4, 1970. The film of bystanders' actual footage of the National Guard marching around a peaceful group of students, then aiming their guns and shooting, brought tears to my eyes as four students laid dead and others were wounded with one paralyzed. Across the hall is a rotating exhibit, and misc. memorabilia. Outside is a memorial, and a walking path showing how the event went down. Parking is .25/12 minutes. Take quarters for the lot behind the building, then go up the steps to Taylor Hall.

I can't believe nobody ever reviewed Kent. This is my second visit with my son. He has officially…read morebeen admitted, so we are getting all the details. Today we are taking an official campus tour. What a place! There is everything here. As a parent, I'm close to tears as I am amazed at the opportunities that kids today have in regards to their education. This is nothing like when I was in school in Madrid....nothing. You can be anything you want to be. There are so many resources . Kent has an amazing assortment of majors. I'm so glad it's close to home. The school is so built up. There are new dorms, new buildings. Did you know they actually have a university in Florence, Italy? Apparently this is to support the fashion and architecture programs. How cool! They have a program to study abroad in Italy. Kent is definitely a very fine and progressive university. I am thrilled that they offer a number opportunities for the next generation.

There are times in your life where you can feel your future changing…read more I've been taking classes here throughout 2010 on Xray Imaging Engineering and I know that training here will propel me to where I want to go in the Imaging field. The instructors Ed, and the two Joes each have decades of experience in the field and teaching and prepare you from the ground up, regardless of your previous experience. It is however enormously helpful if you already have an Electronics degree and/or are already working in the field. Each of the classes I've taken are like packing an entire quarter of a college class into two weeks. Ditec are the leaders in the Independent Xray training facilities in the entire world and all the instructors are CRES certified.

Manny and the gang make the classes very enjoyable and very personal. It is really nice to come back and have the previous instructor remember you. So thank you Manny, Ruth, Toni, Joe,Ed and Joe. You really make a difference in the Health Care environment by making sure that its not a bunch of village idiots that are being sent forth to maintain systems that my family might use.

To explain what Palladian Palette is, here is an excerpt from the homepage of their website:…read more "Palladian Palette is a BYOB painting bar. Come on in, open your drink, and sit down in front of a canvas -- simple as that. Just want to have a place to relax for a bit? Welcome! Grab a Mini Palette Painting and paint for as long as you'd like. Five days a week Palladian Palette offers a two and a half to a three-hour experience with a local artist. That artist will guide you through a painting (famous or original), show you tips and tricks, and encourage you to take painting risks you never thought you had the skill to take. You can follow along with our artists on staff who will be there to guide the stick-figured-challenged, or you can change up colors and techniques to make it your own. Or, just paint whatever inspires you in the moment. After your time with us, you'll walk out with a painting you love, (or in 2-3 weeks, a ceramic piece) and we'll take care of the cleanup." Now, on to my review: My friend found Palladian Palette online and asked if I wanted to go. Being a super crafty girl, I enthusiastically said yes! My friend called their phone number and scheduled a painting time for last Friday night. When we first pulled up to the building, there were no parking spots available on the street. There is no lot to park in specifically for this place so we parked in the food stamp building parking lot across the street. Upon entering, we were greeted very warmly by the owner/instructor (Rachel Gentner) who was there to teach us how to paint that night. We grabbed seats in front of easels and popped open our bottle of wine. When everyone was seated, Rachel explained that she was an art teacher outside of her business and had majored in art at the University of Akron. She then began to explain how the night was going to go and how she teaches. She had us put painting smocks on, and put acrylic paints on our pallettes. She explained how the brushes worked and how to properly clean out the brushes between colors. Then we got to work on the paintings! Rachel has a calendar on her website showing what the painting of the night is so you can choose the painting you like and go that night. Everyone in the class does the same painting and follows along according to her very thorough instructions. She is excellent at explaining what to do and how to get the effects of what is going on the sample photo of the painting we are working on. She was also very helpful with replacing our brush water and making sure we had all the supplies we needed to complete our painting and have fun. She gave us plenty of free time to work on our paintings and didn't rush us at all. Also, I forgot to mention that she supplies the canvas, brushes, paints, easel, etc. The prices vary but the majority are currently $35/person. I suspect that price could fluctuate based on art supply prices. Overall, we had an excellent time and were very relaxed by the end of the night. It took approximately 3 hours from start to finish. I really enjoyed how encouraging the instructor was. Everyone in our class ended up with a different interpretation of the painting but they all turned out just beautiful! That's the fun part about it. Regardless of instruction, each painting is comepletely unique to the person who created it. Although I have prior painting experience, this place is definitely a great start for beginning painters! Do not be deterred if you aren't comfortable with a paint brush! She will teach you and help you succeed!

I participated in the January 2014 Java cohort. This decision has changed my life beyond my…read moreexpectations. As a former arts instructor, writer, business owner, and stay-at-home mom, I wanted to make web development my career and learn everything I could, but was frustrated with my attempts to learn on my own. When I discovered SWC Guild, I was attracted by the idea of a practical, immersive learning experience and decided to give it my all. Although it was one of the newer bootcamps out there, I was impressed with the backgrounds and experiences of Eric Wise and Eric Ward. I knew I could learn a lot from them. While their teaching styles are very different, both are effective, excellent communicators. They are both extremely accessible and will do whatever they can to help their students master a concept and ultimately, to succeed.  After the cohort ends, I had plans to return to my home of Columbus, Ohio. Knowing this, Eric Wise was up front about the fact that their hiring network is strong in Cleveland, but I would be a little more on my own searching in Columbus. While this has proven to be true, Eric Ward does have contacts in Columbus and has made every effort to utilize those on behalf of myself and one other participant who is also focusing his job search in Columbus. It turns out, I didn't need help as I have had many interviews and just received my first job offer in week 11. Based on my recruiter's feedback from another recent interview, there's a strong possibility I will receive a second offer before the end of this week.  Throughout the job-search process, interviewers have been highly impressed with my technical knowledge--and I knew virtually nothing about programming eleven weeks ago. One recruiter just told me today: "I don't know how much it cost to go through that program, but it's worth 10 times whatever you paid." I strongly agree. While nearly all of the other bootcamps out there focus on Ruby, a quick internet search showed me that in Columbus, there are around 400 Java jobs available and another 390 C#/.NET jobs. There are only around 65 Ruby jobs. There is a tremendous shortage of talented Java and .NET developers in the industry and while Ruby may be the sexiest new thing, it's not the most in demand. While most of my review has focused on the employability of SWC Guild graduates, I want to stress that this program is not to be taken lightly. It is grueling. There is an aptitude test required to get in. The description "like drinking from a fire hose" is very accurate. You must be comfortable with feeling overwhelmed and overworked. It is not a quick ticket to a better, higher-paying job. You must have a passion for learning and for the subject matter. Of the participants in the two winter cohorts, several had left careers with six-figure incomes to learn software development because they love doing this. In closing, I had two additional concerns: ageism and sexism in the software development industry. I am in my forties and I am female. While the general consensus of women in IT is that ageism exists, it has not affected me at all. If anything, employers see my experience as a strongly positive factor in their hiring decision. I haven't seen even a hint of sexism. These twelve weeks have changed my life. It was extremely difficult to leave my husband and family to live in another city for twelve weeks, only coming home on the weekends, and always working through the weekends even though I was physically at home.  There was stress and sacrifice. It's definitely not sustainable in the long term. Still, it's only twelve weeks. Was it worth it? Definitely.
