Yale Political Union

out of the protagonist of Donna Tartt’s novel The Goldfinch focusing on the takeaway that art is beautiful because of the struggle leading up to the creation. Arvind wants to attend Yale because he feels that the environment will continue to foster his diverse schooling as well as a place where collaboration is a focus of the education rather than competition.

However, in his search for a more nuanced and in depth education, Arvind is interested in delving into eastern religion as well as history and art outside of the western tradition. He feels that there is not only a lot to learn for his personal knowledge but there’s a lot to mine from those ideas to understand and utilize in his future work to help developing countries avoid the ‘poverty gap’ that many suffer from. From this, he is drawn to the work of the Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) as well as the interesting discussions abundant in the Yale Political Union.

Many institutes still don’t follow every implement that is discussed in Title IX. It is hard to do, to have money in order to pay for all of it and athletic programs think that because male athletics bring in more money they are going to favor them. One case of Title IX allegedly being broken was in 2011 with Yale University. Sixteen students filed a complaint that Yale is a sexually hostile environment preventing women from having the same opportunities men have on campus. The Title IX…

Edwards clearly had a vision for how God was going to use him in this ministry and he strived for that goal through his writings as he led others to God. Born October 5, 1703 (M. X.
