Rebecca Lewis Bio

-
I'm Rebecca Lewis, this is my first year here at Washburn University, and my major is Mass Media with an emphasis in Film. I have two siblings currently attending Washburn, and another who has already graduated in May. I spend most of my free time creating useless videos, volunteering at homeless shelters (primarily in Lawrence), and catching up on my favorite TV shows: Empire & Scandal. I enjoy writing, drawing, painting, and reading. Fun/weird facts about me: I have a pet chicken, I love mushrooms, obsessed with Indian food, and like scuba diving.

    Hey Rebecca! I also spend my time creating pointless videos. :) It's fun and creative, and I like to be behind the camera much more than I would like to be in front of it! Right now my Mass Media emphasis is Advertising because I enjoy that as well, and I hope to use video and photography to advertise things and inspire others in the future!

    I also have siblings that have attended Washburn and are currently attending! You have a pet chicken? That is one of the coolest things I have heard! I also think it's so great that you volunteer at homeless shelters.

    My brother was a film major and loved it! I would like to go scuba diving someday! My favorite animal is a shark so that would be fun to go scuba diving!

    It's nice to find somebody with both drawing and painting in their bio. I'm a lover of the arts, so I can relate. I also like mushrooms, but none of my immediate family members do, so I don't get to eat them often.

Photo by Regina Cassell The Cassell family has invaded College Avenue! Welcome to Media Bootcamp, Fall 2016 edition! This blog will be a shared blog, and we will all share our thoughts as those who comment and those who post. I'm Regina Cassell, and I will be the leader of this expedition. About Me: My family sold our home of 15 years and moved a mile away to our new home on College Avenue. It was quite the adventure, and I have not fully recovered. I was still clinging to my 20s the last time we moved.  I’ve been at Washburn since July 2000. My husband, Gene, is the sports information director at Washburn, and we have two boys, Jacob, 13, and Jared, 11. I’m a busy wife and mom.  I have taught as a lecturer in the mass media department since the fall of 2003, and I am also the director of Student Media at Washburn. The Student Media staff keeps  washburnreview.org  updated with new content all year long along with producing three Bod Magazine...

WELCOME TO MY FIRST BLOG! photo by Darrin Hartford Darrin Does It I'm very excited to start my new blog and be able to share my vast wealth of information on not only automotive stuff, but household repairs including DIY Pinterest type projects as well.  I definitely have a knack for fixing things, and I hate to say it, but sometimes I like to keep that a secret.  A good handyman should have no problem keeping themselves busy.   I have been taking things  apart as soon as I was able to hold a screwdriver.  For a while I could only successfully take things apart but, as the years went on, I was able to reassemble the things I had taken  apart, much to the joy of my mother.  For whatever reason, she did not enjoy seeing her hair dryer, toaster, TV, microwave, vacuum cleaner...etc. torn apart.  :)   As the years went on, I eventually landed a position in the automotive business as a technician.  I began my career at...

A real live crowdsourcing example

The internet has made many, many wonderful things possible. Yay technology. One of these things is a concept we call crowd sourcing or crowd sharing, etc. Robust user-friendly templates allow users all over the world to begin a fundraising campaign literally in minutes. Let me show you exactly what I mean. Sharon Sullivan is a professor in Washburn's Theatre department. She has a passion for helping empower all kinds of people. One of her heart causes happens to be families who have found themselves battling domestic violence. She has a goal to reach $1,000 for her cause through a website called CrowdRise. Others exist such as GoFundMe, etc. She set up her page and then reached out to her friends through email and Facebook. Check it out:  https://www.crowdrise.com/ywca-ne-ks-purple-purse/fundraiser/sharonsullivan4 As an assignment, please share another way crowdsourcing is used by COMMENTING on this post. (Things other than fundraising.) Please limit your answer to one th...
