The Pacer

Issue date: 9/18/07 Section: Viewpoints

The point is, there is a world outside of the campus that most of us call home. Just as we're involved in social and academic fraternities, newspapers, classes, parties, and other social gatherings, we can't forget that we're involved in a world outside of these things, as well. So many times, people forget what is going on right under their very noses. Some don't remember to pick up any other newspaper but our beloved Pacer (and again, nothing wrong with that!) but even our glorious staff can't get to everything going on in our world. Even we, as fantastic as we are, can't cover everything simultaneously and even if we could, we only have a limited number of pages!

Another world is going on around us and I would encourage each of you to get out there and see it, however you can. Travel during the breaks, talk to and cultivate relations with those students here of other national origins, and in short, make a real connection to the world that you'll soon be entering after the four year prep work has been done here at UTM. It's the world that you're soon going to be living in, after all; it's the world that you're going to be working in and striving to make better. Find out as much as you can about that world so you'll know where to start when it's your turn to take that matriculation walk! Contrary to what the Mouse might say, it's a big, big world out there and we're all a part of it!
