Session 2

In this session there were three girls presenting and their names are Laken Tassos, Heidi Zibara, and Amanda Petrunack. Laken talked about the presentation that IUP alumni Bill Strickland once gave. Some people did not like him but most people did for his contributions to IUP. He is a close alumni to the IUP family and was looking to donate money and she felt that for an alumni to give back to IUP the way Bill wanted to that it should be recognized and more frequent. She showed a huge amount of respect for what he wanted to do and Laken had a great appreciation for him. Heidi talked about the major issue of why americans treat muslims so differently. She was making the argument that they should'nt be treated any different than any other american just because they dress different, hair looks different, and have a few different traditions. She went on talking about how people that don't like islamics for those reasons have a high case of "Islamimophiba". Amanda was my favorite presenter due to the fact she was a great reader and presented her article very well using good "volume" in words. She explained the importance of family. Explaining that alot of restaurants are family owned and that thyey will always have a great staff because of having family as your employees. It is also good for a family to go through such experiences because it will pull you closer together. If you can work with the people around you being that they are your relatives that will lead to a happy working environment and a better business.
