For the October 2015 issue of the CELOP Sun, we wanted to capture the feeling of transition – new and continuing students are adjusting to their new life in Boston with the start of the Fall semester, the weather is getting colder, and the leaves on the trees are changing.
To reflect on the feeling of transition, we have a series of amazing photos by Alaa Alaseem taken in the same spot, but at different times of the year. We also have a CELOP YouSpeak where we asked students how they were adjusting to life in Boston, how they are preparing for the cold weather, and what their plans are for the upcoming Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays. We feature articles on Halloween and apple picking because harvest-inspired customs embody the spirit of taking in your accomplishments at the end of one season, and preparing for a colder season. So, definitely don’t miss the video about Halloween, produced by Ahmad Alshareef, Ahmad Hawsawi, and Osaid Ali. And check out the apple picking photos by Shelley Bertolino! Finally, we have a couple articles about CELOP’s group and professional programs that help students transition into their Fall CELOP program or into a graduate program.
This and more is in this month’s issue of the CELOP Sun!
