And of course, Middletown itself has been reliably Democrat, in spite of its blue collar foundations, for quite some time. This was taken at approximately 12 noon the morning of the War in Iran:

Along those same themes, comes a Letter to the Editor from another thoughtful Wesleyan first-year. I think the two of them should share their experiences

Community is Not Comfort – The Wesleyan Argus

I think OP has moved on.

Has the ingredients of being a solid essay, but falls short. (Needs another round of self-editing or revision.)

Thank you for posting.

I think she indicated she won’t have much to report until she’s actually completed her applications which might not be for another month.

I know the entire school is not like this but as of right now, if I were to look back years later, I don’t believe I can be proud to call myself a Wesleyan alum or to graduate alongside my peers.

The article is behind a paywall. What’s the gist of it?

Any update from the OP?

[circuitrider]

The gist of it was the announcement of a nationwide summer volunteer program:

The Democracy Summer network includes research-intensive universities like Yale and Duke, big state schools such as Michigan and Texas and small religious institutions such as Goshen College and Trinity Washington University, as well as interest groups ranging from the American Association of Colleges and Universities to Interfaith America. Civic engagement centers at more than 400 colleges and universities have joined the effort, and more are expected.

But as a preamble, there was a lengthy account of the several campus visits made by MLKjr culminating in the famous Freedom Summer of 1964 in Mississippi. This by way of perhaps giving the OP something to be proud of.
