CST 361s - Week 1

My search for a Service Learning Partner has continued into this week as I am having trouble finding one to fit into my shortened schedule. Hopefully I will hear back from some of my inquiries and find a partner soon. This week was interesting in coursework as we looked into the history of racial segregation with regards to swimming and how that has had echoes into the modern era. We studied how these earlier injustices have had a ripple effect on minority communities that has resulted in a decreased representation in the swimming arena. It was interesting to consider how the relatively young area of Computer Science has appears to have had a racial gap grow into it as well, and to ponder what the causes of such a gap could be. I hope to have my learning partner soon and to get started in my service soon.
