Organization Helps With Self-Esteem Issues
Excerpt From Grizzly
This image talks about the birth of social media also birthed a new take on beauty standards and expectations set for women. As a result, women of all ages, body forms, races, and disabilities, suffer from the effects of the perfect social media body imagery. It was not long before adolescents, and young adults advocated for a more accepting community to combat this imagery. At Ursinus College, a small club organization in 2011 has done just that.

Grizzly Excerpt About Social Media
This article is a milestone in the Digital Age, as it is the first time that social media was mentioned in a Ursinus publication. As one can read in the article, the students at the time were ecstatic and anxious to finally implement the Internet into their social media lifestyle, with the introduction of Facebook.

Hello, this is the phone mail system!
Social Media Involvement With Ursinus
This article is discussing the implementation of private phone service. Ursinus College ended its AT&T phone service and began one with STC Services. There were multiple benefits for students, like fewer billings and waiting on available operators. However, there were some drawbacks, as stated in the article. “The STC system isn’t with the system itself, it’s actually with some of the people that use it.” (Plitt, 4) This shows that the implementation of newer technologies did not come perfect, rather it sometimes was a trade-off between technological advances and hiccups that come with updated tech.
