On Wednesday, March 10, I attended Pinelake College and talked to a few fellows as well as chatted with a well known resident of Pinelake College. I also was able to experience, like I do every other Wednesday night, Pinelake College for myself.
Some of the research I acquired was:
Q: Is it easy to get involved at Pinelake College and what are ways people who are interested in joining this discourse community can do to get involved?
A: It is super easy to get involved! At the end of each Pinelake College session, there are numbers that you can contact to get involved at PL College, as well as at the end when we are dismissed, there is a station in the back room with people who can provide further information on PL College and what you can do to become a volunteer.
Q: How has PL College changed your life?
A: PL College has given so many opportunities that would not have been possible before it. Many people have become part of their missionary program which is not only helping those in Oxford, but actually allows you to travel all over the world preaching about what it is Pinelake stands for. It has also given many mission work opportunities in places like Belize, India, etc!
Q: Is Pinelake College considered a community?
A: Absolutely. Pinelake College has made so many people feel truly apart of something. Just watching the staff and many who are apart of the staff at Pinelake College has shown that having a community is possible and is something that is so needed in your life. Pinelake College has made so many people feel like they are at home, from working on the work crew, to simply sitting in the crowd, you never feel alone.
I know for a fact that Pinelake College has always made me feel like I have a community and people to fall back on, however hearing other peoples stories on how they got involved at Pinelake College and hearing how they truly feel involved in a community while at PL shows that its not just me who feels this way, its everyone!
