Hello Professor Vandegrift! My name is Laura Schnabel. I am 24 years old, live in Winterset, work as a Lab Tech at Madison County Memorial Hospital full time, and my favorite color is purple. I recently got married in August, so my last name in everything will be changing to Hegtvedt soon. I hope that won't cause too much confusion. I am returning to Drake after four years off to finish my degree. That is the gist of my life right now! I hope to learn a lot in this class and look forward to getting to know everyone. Hope you have a great weekend! Lhegtvedt (talk) 22:32, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Professor Vandegrift. I've started a page for suggested article projects for the Global Youth Studies class in your user space. The page is User:Prof.Vandegrift/Global Youth Studies. It could use some more red links in the 'articles to create' section and I'm sure that some of the 'articles to improve' aren't quite within the scope of the class. Feel free to use this or not and change anything you see fit. Gobōnobō ^{+ c} 03:30, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The differences became even more pronounced when difficulty of career progression was taken into account; among males who had less than a high school diploma and experienced difficulties starting their careers" Fact from Shanahan reading.

Added that to article on Higher education.

I want to research the juvenile youths system.

       -Department of rehabilitation services 
       -Youth detention center
       -Youth incarceration in the United States

Hi Professor Vandegrift this is Hector and I am reaching out to introduce myself. I am a LPS major at Drake and I am a transfer student from DMACC Ankeny where I spent two years studying Criminal Justice. I decided to attend Drake due to how close it was to my home and the scholarships that were offered to me. I am excited to be in your class and look forward to the exciting projects ahead!Camotero2013 (talk) 00:17, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Professor Vandegrift. I am Jalisa, one of your senior sociology students. I am writing you today not only to introduce myself but to also get more familiar with how Wikipedia works. I hope to establish a career working with children, so a class on Global Youth Studies should be interesting. I am looking forward to the rest of the semester.

Hello Prof. Vandegrift, my name is Ernada and this is my brief introduction about myself. I am a junior studying sociology. I live in Waukee. I want to use my sociology degree to help individuals such as troubled youths or abused women, or just counseling in general. I am quite nervous about the semester and working with wikipedia, but I am hoping a get the concept off it and to do great in the class. I am looking forward to the class.

Hi Professor Vandegrift, my name is Nora. I am a senior International Relations and Religion double major and this is my first sociology class at Drake! I am interested to get more acquainted with youth studies as a discipline, and I'm excited to become more adept at working with Wikipedia. I think it will turn out to be a great life skill!
