Midterm Article
For my midterm article I will be writing about how St.Mary’s University and The University of the Incarnate Word have been long standing rivals with each other, and how this rivalry has been effecting students and school spirit here at St.Mary’s University.
I’ll be going around and interview St.Mary’s students, athletes and student who have taken a semester at The University of the Incarnate Word about their experiences with school rivalry. I will not only take pictures of each campus’ but also, some audio footage of each interview.
This story is loyalty is to citizens (students) and significant interesting and relevant to the student not only here at St.Mary’s University but also The University of the Incarnate Word.
I’ll go to the UPD station to ask about whether or not they boost up security for UIW v. STMU games, the ResLife office, and the admissions office. I’ll also interview older students and then more on to some alumni that have been active on campus this year. I will also get interviews with commuter students who may also have attended UIW and ask them what is it like to be on the other side.
Two open ended questions for each person I will interview are; do you believe this rivalry helps students with school spirit? And how do you feel about UWI/STMU to this day?
