Econometric Research Paper Topic


Today I have finally chosen my research paper topic for my econometric class. I will be analyzing the relationship between family income and the number of extracurricular activities a students participates in while in their college years. I will be excluding Greek life as an activity due to the expenses it costs to participate, all activities included at academic or sports related. The reason I will be including sports and not Greek life is because student's with lower income families may also be paying for school through scholarships, due to being in a low income family. I believe it will result in a negative relationship between the two variables. Reasoning behind my hypothesis is that students with lower family income are more prone to be paying for college themselves. Therefore, they will be more inclined to participate in extracurricular activities to increase their resume and networking possibilities for a better career unlike students from higher income families. Although I do expect some exception in my hypothesis, we will see how it turns out.

Columbia Montour Bicentennial

The final Timeline Display was 46 inches wide and 22 inches tall. The final Before and After Display was 11 inches wide and 20 inches tall. My project was to create a display for the Columbia Montour Bicentennial at the Chamber of Commerce booth on March 22-23 rd . For two weeks a researched Columbia and Montour Counties history of businesses by contacting and visiting the local historical societies and searching the internet for public data. Once I collected all the pictures and data I needed I decided to display them as a Timeline, as well as, a Before and After presentation. I created these displays on Publisher and then had them sent to a printer for finalization on a thick poster board.

My College Job

I currently hold a position as a cashier at the Bloomsburg University Store. I began this job fall of my junior year and since then I have learned so much. The people I work with are very insightful in many different ways, whether it is helping me through my college studies or giving me advice for my future, they are always there. During my employment I have experienced how they advertise and promote the store through flyers, mailings, and their website. The multiple skills I observe and learn have helped me through many of my PR classes and will continue to guide me through my career. Also, this job has been an opportunity that has grown my knowledge in time management, responsibility, and personal character. I appreciate this job not only for the financial assistance through school, but for the reward of learning these skills that will eventually benefit me in the workforce, as well as, the relationships I have gained.

Through the past three years I have grown from the girl graduating high school to a graduate of college. The time seemed to move so fast while attending classes and doing everything I could in order to build my resume and be a professional upon graduation. It will be different not having that need to go to a class or report to an ambassador event, but I know that whatever the future holds I will be prepared and put my best foot forward to achieve my goals. Thank you Bloomsburg and all the people I have met through the years you have made a great difference in my life I will always cherish my experiences I had on the beautiful campus.
