My Global Hustle

Clark U. helps make Mass. high school a success

The University Park Campus School makes me proud to be a Clarkie. I got to Clark 1 year after the University Park Campus School opened & to see the growth over the past 10 years is truly amazing. Although I might not agree with all of Clark’s policies, the university does make a concerted effort to give back to the Main South community. Just one of the many reasons I’m proud to be an active alumni volunteer for Clark. -!YG [CLICK 2 READ]

Carnegie Mellon University – Sneakerology 101

Shout out 2 KB for this 1. -!YG

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

Although the symbolic educational term 101 has been thrown around liberally in sneaker circles, Pittsburgh Pensylvania’s Carnegie Mellon University has legitimized the term with its official sneaker based class, Sneakerology 101. Yes that’s right, a university level course dealing with sneaker culture on the whole. Ranging from its roots in the 1970s to its shaping by hip-hop, the internet and basketball among other factors, the course covers the overall impact of sneakers on a worldwide level. The class utilizes Bobbito Garcia’s Where’d You Get Those? for reference as well as various sneaker-based websites. Evaluations include a mid-term project pertaining to the design of a sneaker, incorporating elements acquired along the way. Interested parties can sign up for the class’ next session set for Spring of 2009.
