Welcome Aboard GAMship

Ahoy ye Mateys,

Time to sign up a whole new crew for our fourth voyage of GAMship. Yes, this is going to be our fourth year: we have collected along the way Emeralds, Rubies, and Sapphires; and this year will be Citrines. By signing the Crew Manifest, you can make sure you are counted among the crew, sharing in the treasures, such as handsome steins, artist-designed t-shirts, engraved rings, and other booty. 

We have two college ports for our (member)ship: NYIT and CCNY. Shipmates are welcome to join adventures at both ports. "Gam" means seafarers mingling to talk business and to socialize. GAM offers educational entertainment, joins other clubs together and invites all majors and interests to participate and share with each other. We have a long list of unique and diverse GAMes, like our Valentine Noir Masquerade Ball, our Now You're International Too cultural celebration, our Come Celebrate New Years going around the world with GAM, and sailing ahead to do so much more.

There are no time or financial obligations. Sail as often or as little as you like. But you cannot share in the booty unless you sign up. So sign aboard.  Everything there is to know about GAMship is on our Wheelhouse (our online electronic clubhouse). We need your help making GAM better.  Take a leadership role, such as Yeoman, Boatswain, Chief Mate or Ambassador, and help steer GAMship for the horizon. 

Beneath this sea of maritime adventure is the indelible letter of marque (your resume with GAM) to come laud your internships, leadership, certificates, awards and other accomplishments.  Join for the companionship, friendship, fellowship, kinship, GAMship!

Welcome aboard GAMship!

For Business Sense and Social Grace,

GAM Moves The World

"America's abundance was not created by public sacrifices to the common good, but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes." -- Ayn Rand

GAM’s premier initiation is to read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and I was given a copy of this novel to read over the summer. The first thing that stood out to me from this book was not the cover, but the length. As a student who barely enjoys reading textbooks I didn't know how I was going to complete it. The book remained on my desk for a while as I was being showered with guilt: how could an officer lead a club without fulfilling the one basic responsibility? So I braced myself for a task that I believed would take up my entire vacation and I began to read it.

One month later I turned the last page of Atlas Shrugged, a book that was no longer a task to be completed but a guide to follow for the rest of my life. Although this novel is based on a dystopia, it definitely holds many realistic elements. As I was reading I couldn't help myself but reflect upon how the events occurring today and the moral standards being taught were so similar to that of the book: a tanking economy, constant bailouts, and a government that intervenes in every aspect of society. In the book, businessmen were often referred to as “exploiters” and their wealth made by their success were constantly sought to be taken away. But wouldn't those who fight for unearned wealth be the real exploiters? What will those looters do when the businessmen disappear? Or run out of money? How will such people survive then? The real exploiters are those who tell businesses to remain running at a loss. The real exploiters are those who take a company’s profits to help save a business that can’t remain in competition. The real exploiters are those who seek one’s wealth for the use of their social programs.

The attacks made on those who use their minds and skills for success reminded me of the “Robber Barons” of the 19th Century. Nineteenth Century entrepreneurs such as Vanderbilt and Rockefeller built great businesses. They provided goods and services that maximized the public's utility, thereby increasing the total welfare of the country. Moreover, the profits served as incentives for entrepreneurs to take on the inherent risk of operating their own business. These entrepreneurs that were portrayed as ruthless and greedy were a benefit to the society and got paid voluntarily by people who found a benefit in what they do. However, there were individuals who looked down upon Vanderbilt, Rockefeller and others. Instead of owning their own shortcomings, they blame those superior to them. For the most part, Captains of Industry and CEOs are not born; they get there by hard work and thinking outside the box. Blaming others instead of seeking to turn a given situation around is the hallmark of a looter. They are the ones who would complain and label those who are successful as a "Robber Baron."

At the heart of Atlas Shrugged lies Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism that continues to move our society. Objectivism focuses on being individualistic and logical (rational) – two key characteristics for the pursuit of one’s happiness. Individualism is being independent; it’s thinking, acting for oneself while using reason as your guide. This is opposed to collectivism where everyone is interdependent and living in an altruistic manner. Objectivists, like me, are advocates for Capitalism, a free market with no government intervention – the only true economic system that can help a country prosper. It is such truths underlying Objectivism that can bring our country back to its fundamental principles.

As I was sworn in as GAM’s new Captain for NYiT, I repeated a quote from Atlas Shrugged. However, it wasn't until I finished the book that I completely understood the concept. “I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” This is my oath and the rule of which I will live the rest of my life by. I will use my mind and my talents to the best of their abilities. My life is mine to deal with, and it is mine to grow and achieve because self-interest is the most powerful motivator for success. Atlas Shrugged moved me, and now I will move the world. Will you?

GAM-BIT(E)S

Freshmen were urged to SOAR Toward Excellence today (Aug. 2nd). And GAM recommended they Go GAMANAS! 

Picture from June 4th GAMnic in Central Park

(SOAR is a program to welcome new freshman to NYIT. Go GAMANAS! is GAM's initiative to encourage nutritious bites between classes.) GAM joined other clubs at tables set up to greet the new freshman.
 .
At GAM's table, sandwiched between their friends from the UN TEAM and SGA, GAM offered freshmen free bananas, along with copies of the latest GAMarray Gazette produced in high gloss by our Captain Yosr E. Also at their table greeting freshmen were GAM's Commodore Alyssa D., Commander Elias W. and Crimpee Christopher K. Leading freshmen around NYIT was GAM's Ambassador Bella L.  .
.
Captain Yosr bestowed GAM's artist-designed, ocean-blue shirt to Crimpee Chris for his efforts to welcome freshmen at two orientations now. Crimpee Chris is currently working on his initiation by reading Atlas Shrugged and his rank by attending these orientations to earn his citrine class GEM (GAM's Excellence Marque). GAM signed up, with Chris's help, 8 students on July 21st. (See that news in our earlier note: 20,000 GAM-BITS.) Today (Aug. 2nd) GAM signed up 23! Welcome aboard, Crimpees! We have for ye gold ahead, and it began with a golden banana today. Arrrrrrgh!

20,000 GAM-BITS

Another summer update with good news for you: 
.
Following the summer party at Admiral Jesse's, the crew of GAMship set sail on additional adventures.
.

With reference to bottom left picture:
Commodore Alyssa, Captain (NYIT),
Captain Luiza (CCNY) and Navigator Christopher

GAM Officers descended (20,000 Leagues) on the American Museum of Natural History to find "Job" (the great white whale on the Great Crest of GAM), and questioned MODOK (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing). GAMs learned Peachie Pie (the bird on the Great Crest of GAM) evaded giant octopi and squids, before a stone-faced mo'ai (not pronounced like blowing a kiss at the close of The Dating Game) bellowed after GAMs (attracted by our club name).

.
GAM's Commodore Alyssa D'Amico met a school of freshmen at NYIT to invite them aboard GAMship. Eight took the bait and are reeling themselves in - as eveyone should - by signing the new Crew Manifest for our fourth year voyage.

On the Horizon:

• GAM is producing another edition of the GAMarray Gazette for August. If you would like to add your story, email gam@gamship.net.
• GAM will attend another freshman orientation (on or about August 2nd at NYIT) with a greater delegation to encourage potential crimpees to parlay aboard GAMship.
• GAM will hold more summer events, including sailings to Liberty Island (the Statue of Liberty) and Governors Island.

Just step aboard and you'll join the crew,

You will be grateful for the trip

That started from just one college U

                Aboard this mighty GAMship.

GAM-BITS

Good news for you:

Our ships (chapters) are meeting in July and August to prepare the events for the Fall and Spring.

One of those events is our Valentine Noir Masquerade Ball, which will have a new spring in step with our new dance partner--Salsa! Are you on the ball? Send an email to gam@gamship.net to join the committee.

We are also planning an alumni event with our past officers and shipmates, like our Captain Tasnim (The Path of Ugg) who this past week visited NYIT to participate in a panel discussion for HEOP.

Fleet Officers, July 2, 2011

Our Admiral Jesse invited shipmates aboard his houseboat (ok, ok, his house) for his annual backyard party, where we welcomed Captain Christopher (Columbus Circle) to Fleet Command.

Christopher Engel is working full-time for The Daily News (along with Clark Kent, Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane. ...What? ...Oh. Correction: That would be The Daily Planet). Christopher is now Vice Admiral of GAM bringing all his newspaper experience to all our publications.

Look forward to Joy To The World and La Bella Vita from our two Boatswains editing our publications. Bosun Joy will edit our GAMarray Gazette and Bosun Bella will edit our Facebook and Orgsync.  Our GAMour (photo albums) will be edited by our Bosun Andrew.

Our Captain Yosr is sailing GAM MA ahead with stunning innovations for her shipmates. They're surprises, so get on board to enjoy the fun. Sign the Crew Manifest.

Our newest edition of the GAMarray Gazette is out.  Get yours at either campus or on the Wheelhouse.

Here is a little tidbit of information that not many know.  Today is GAM's birthday.  Three years ago we were just finishing our first GAMA group and making plans for GAM's first event.

Happy Independence Day!
GAM it!

Great American Minds

Many of you will recall our shipmate Sahar Khan as a contributor to our GLOG in March sharing her experience at GAM's Moon On The Sail movie series in a blog entitled "eXistenZ is better with the Moon On Yer Sail." Sahar Khan served the CCNY community as Executive Vice President of the Undergraduate Student Government. Recently she was was heaped with awards and praise at the Student Affairs Leadership Awards Dinner. As the presenter noted, she is a Great American Mind.

Sahar Khan is headed for law school. As part of GAM's summer series, we share her law school entry essay.

Sahar Khan, Awardee, May 20, 2011
(second from right)

Following my aspirations in high school, I joined an organization called Women In Islam. This organization advocates to correct the unstable life styles of women who reside in Queens, New York. Working with these women and recording their tragic histories helped me overcome my apprehension. Nothing felt better than assisting members of an underprivileged community achieve the level of legal care they deserved. Starting college, I kept in touch with the legal aid community by training as a translator for the Women In Islam legal aid. While my time with them was limited, I used my ability to communicate clearly during any emergency.

Fired up by my intellectual curiosity, college allowed me to explore the different fields of academics. While completing a major in Media Communications & Arts, it was crucial for me to link the world of politics to the humanities. I thoroughly enjoyed taking a position in Undergraduate Student Government, presenting the multiverse theory to liberal art students and discussing current trends in public interest law. Learning how to use verbal skills, marketing and examining politics and media literature further reassured my interdisciplinary studious pursuits.

My dedication to law was tested after joining the Skadden Arps Honors Program in Legal Studies at The City College of New York.  I remember one semester in this vigorous program, my professor said, "Sahar, you might want to consider a different profession." Closing my eyes, the advisor's words endlessly replayed while I sank deeper into the gap of the couch.  My early experiences in mock trial and the images of suffering women burned into my eyes and the feeling of powerlessness came rushing back. This setback did not cause me to digress from my goal of becoming a humanitarian. From then on, I directed myself and slowly learned how to study harder.

Studying through college, advertising courses were always captivating and during law seminars I was amazed at how the law system works. There has never been a class that I have not enjoyed and I anxiously await the integration of more knowledge in law school. The Skadden seminars, taught by Yale Law School graduate, Professor Lynda Dodd helped me learn the value of evidence-based cases and understand how legal research could be applied in clinical practice.

By my senior year, I needed to revisit the courtroom to ascertain the legal maturity essential to be an efficient lawyer as a first year law student. I gained this knowledge through my internship at Queens County Courthouse in the summer of 2010.  Collecting clinical research data in the Queens County Courthouse brought me back to the misery of women, when their children faced emotional trouble due to the unstable environment they lived in.   No words could express my emotions when a woman lost everything. At the same time, I knew that the lawyers did their best to do the most for their clients.

Gradually, I grew to be comfortable in the courthouse setting and became familiar with many of the lawyers and judges. Communicating with the layers, many of my fiery questions were answered, such as the role of the judge in different types of courtrooms. The courthouse soon became a learning ground where I could not only be a curious student but also a teacher. Becoming a mentor for the second cohort of the Skadden program, I enjoyed advising the students how to achieve their research goals.

The result of all of my experiences in academia and various courthouses has made me recognize that there is only one profession that encompasses my intrinsic desire to help others and my enduring love of learning. Working with lawyers and judges is invigorating and provides me with a unique sense of fulfillment every time I leave the courtroom. Having tested my dedication to the field, I have never felt more motivated towards pursuing a law degree. I am no longer a trembling powerless girl, but a woman filled with potential, ready to be the best lawyer I can be.

I am a multi-faceted individual:  a daughter, a sister, a student; but my identity describes me to be a Pakistani Muslim.  Muslim women have had the strongest impact on my life and aspirations. I was born in Dubai and arrived in the United States when I was two years old. Growing up in poverty helped me value the inner qualities that nobody can take away from me. As a Muslim woman, I was determined to grow beyond the traditional roles that my culture laid out for me. By obtaining a law degree, I will find a way to make possible the progress of other under-represented people. I want to be a symbolic figure for all Pakistani women.  I hope to show them that they can be more than mothers and wives.

I came to see that women had very limited opportunities in the Pakistani community. In Pakistani culture, women are only portrayed as daughters, sisters, wives, and then mothers. I do not mean to undermine the roles that women play in society, but I want to have as many doors of opportunity opened for me as a man might have. I have seen how my parents distinguished between their daughter and son. They rarely hold high expectations of women, and are not attentive of them to pursue higher education and work beside men. My parents constantly tell me, “You are a woman and you do not need a great deal of education. Your husband will provide for you.”

I gathered the strength to respond that just because I am a woman does not mean that I cannot succeed in life. I have tried to be the best daughter and sister, and I am sure I will do just as well when I become a wife and a mother. Nonetheless, I want to have something of my own. My parents are coming to terms with my ambitions now, since I am coming up on graduating college.

In addition, I was fortunate to have the chance to show everyone that I have the potential to accomplish the aspirations I have set for myself. I have taken each challenge and worked out a coherent plan to prevail. I had to break the English language barrier because, even though I am a fluent English speaker, I speak many different languages and my fluency in them has put me to the test particularly with respect to developing strong writing skills in English.  I have never been fearful to face the unknown, but people’s beliefs and assumptions about me as a Muslim woman here in the United States mean I always feel like I need to do a little extra to show I am capable.

I want to conquer my dreams. I want to take a position and tell the world that I have accomplished my own success because I was determined and hard working. By achieving a law degree, I would not be only completing my dream, but I will be taking a step onward to help my community. Many of the women in Islam do not have the courage to fight against the injustice done to them.  I would like to become the voice for such women and battle against such factors in my community.  The women in my community are conditioned to be introverts, and not all have the strength to speak against the wrong.  Some may be immigrants, and may not speak English, or have other concerns and questions about the legal system.  It is important for such a community to be represented, and I would like to be that person.

I will be proud to tell the people around me, who doubted that a woman could go so far, that I have done it. I will take the extra mile to prove myself and I am proud to take this journey diligently with a purpose.

Sahar Khan

College Graduate

Law School Bound

My early experiences of reading domestic violence cases during high school left me with a feeling of powerlessness. The stories, voices of women suffering with pain and rape, stay with me like a film covering my eyes. Being unable to read the stories about such insanity of women all around me was immobilizing. Watching how compassionately lawyers comforted their clients and discussed their past, present and future helped me handle my erupting emotions. It was then that my concern transformed into a passionate desire to help others in need.

Captain's Log: Columbus Circle

These are the voyages of the GAMship captains.  Our sixth Captain's Log circles back to Columbus where it all started with our first captain and his first officer.  The very first mate to sign on to GAMship.  The very first officer to be elected.  The longest sailing shipmate of GAM.  The longest commanding officer of GAM.  The most decorated.  The most respected.  This is GAM's very own Columbus:  Captain Christopher Engel.

"[T]he sight of an achievement [is] the greatest gift a human being could offer to others."  [Atlas Shrugged]  Captain Christopher has brought award after award to GAM and his shipmates.

And the countless additional awards that his shipmates have earned through GAM and the programs it supports.

As apparent storms seemed to chase his ship into port to run aground, Captain Christopher sailed against the gales to save the integrity of the ship.

Captain Christopher Engel, GAM MA 2008-2011

“The port would fain give succor; the port is pitiful; in the port is safety, comfort, hearthstone, supper, warm blankets, friends, all that’s kind to our mortalities. But in that gale, the port, the land, is that ship’s direst jeopardy; she must fly all hospitality; one touch of land, though it but graze the keel, would make her shudder through and through. With all her might she crowds all sail off shore; in so doing, fights ‘gainst the very winds that fain would blow her homeward; seeks all the lashed sea’s landlessness again; for refuge’s sake forlornly rushing into peril; her only friend her bitterest foe!”  [Moby Dick].

This Captain Christopher learned at the helm:  that the safest port is into the storm.

"There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness. And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he for ever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than other birds upon the plain, even though they soar."  [Moby Dick]

In his honor GAM establishes a new award.  In addition to being the third captain to retire with the Me Hearties Pennant, Captain Christopher receives the Take A Bow trophy, which logs his voyage at the helm of GAMship.  And Captain Christopher was first to reach for the brass ring, so we name it after him:  the Columbus Circle.

How befitting that Captain Christopher's last event is to say bon voyage to us.  We come full circle to conclude the Columbian Era by bidding our Captain Columbus the same for the bon voyage he gave us.  Bon Voyage, Captain Christopher Engel

Captain's Log: Voyagers

These are the voyages of the GAMship captains.  Our fifth Captain's Log is about two captains.  This is the voyage of two extraordinary friends, Captain Janneisy "Janeway" Vidals and Captain Luiza "Lulu" Bilt.

GAM has a tradition of officers selflessly switching titles to give each other a chance at the helm. Our original two captains--Captain Ninoska Alvarez (CCNY) and Captain Harry Baker (NYIT)--both switched to give another officer a chance to be captain before they graduated.  In that fine example, Captain Luiza and Commander Janneisy switched titles.  Luiza and Janneisy are great friends, and Luiza wanted her friend to be captain before she graduated.  GAM CCNY is very lucky to have had two great friends leading their ship.  So Captain Luiza offered the helm for a semester to Commander Janneisy.

Captain Janneisy Vidals, GAM CC Fall 2010
Captain Luiza Bilt, GAM CC Spring 2011

Captain Janneisy then guided GAM ahead in an event labeled Go GAManas to combine a message about good nutrition in between classes with the showing of a foreign film that complemented that message.  The timing could not have been more perfect.  Go GAManas was able to support a professor's class project that similarly encouraged marketing students to use their skills to spread a message of good health.

After the two friends switched titles back, Captain Luiza resumed leading GAM ahead in C.C.N.Y. University (a GAMetta Stone series) to combine school pride with GAM's mission to unite students. GAM invited language clubs and other organizations with cultural themes to decorate a table in the style of their most iconic new year celebration to Come Celebrate New Years by sharing the University of the Countless Cultures of New York at C.C.N.Y.

Captain Janneisy recalls:  "I felt very welcomed from the moment I joined as a shipmate.  While I was a shipmate I learned so many life lessons and how to communicate better.  Face it, the world out there is tough and you have to learn how to market yourself.  I learned through challenges how to market myself through GAM."

Captain Luiza recalls her first event before taking the helm of GAM:  "MoMMA was a special and memorable event that not only made me celebrate my mother in pleasant way but also interact and get insights about the other GAM shipmates' lives, pasts, feelings and thoughts, getting to know them better."

Without these two extraordinary friends, the voyages of GAM CCNY would have ended a year ago. Captain Luiza and Captain Janneisy sail out of port soon.  Bon Voyage, Captain Janneisy and Captain Luiza

Captain's Log: Captain Convincing

These are the voyages of the GAMship captains. Our fourth Captain's Log recounts a time when GAM needed a hero to conVINCE shipmates to unite; and one young Kirk beamed up--Captain Vincent Pierotti.

Captain Vince heard the mayday of another GAM ship sailing in choppy seas and came to their aid. The captain donned the red suit and stuck out his knee. But not for Captain Morgan. (Morgan was his commander.) Captain Vince was Santa Claus for a day to celebrate Christmas in Brooklyn Chinatown, distributing toys to the children. His Christmas spirit lifted that one GAM ship out of dry dock, and forged a new spirit of cooperation.

Hi Members of GAM:

Thank you for your support on our Christmas Celebration in Brooklyn Chinatown. I hope you all had a wonderful experience volunteering with us. This event wouldn't be so successful without your help, especially your Santa Claus. I've a link to our photo taken on that day and I hope you can join us in our coming event next year.  I also hope we can start a good partnership with the rest of the NYIT program in the near future. Let me know if your club need the help of our community, we will definitely support you. 

Warren Chan | Executive Director

Asian Community United Society

Captain Vincent Pierotti, GAM CC Fall 2009

When asked to choose his favorite adventure, Captain Vince shared Rolling With GAM. "There are so many good memories to choose from. I think my favorite event was GAM bowling. We realized that Judge Gregorek was a natural, and I realized that I should stick to contact sports."

Captain Vince sailed halfway around the world, and continues his legendary spirit for conVINCing people to unite on himself. "I studied Media and Communication Arts at CCNY. I currently live in Tokyo, Japan. I have been studying the Japanese language, culture, and media for the past year. I plan on working and living here for a long time. It really is a great country and the people are wonderful."

Captain Vince united castaways welcoming them aboard GAMship creating a vibrant crew in the face of troubled waters ahead. Even though his voyage at the helm was short, Captain Vince brought fair winds and following seas to GAM. He was honored with the second Me Hearties pennant. Bon voyage, Captain Vincent Pierotti

GAMetta Stone UNIVERSITY! Come Celebrate New Years!!

It's on!  Today (March 22nd) clubs from NYIT met with clubs from CCNY at CCNY to look over the venue for GAMetta Stone University!  This spectacular event invites everyone to Come Celebrate New Years by sharing the UNIVERSITY of the Countless Cultures of New York at City College of New York.  

GAM CCNY Captain Luiza Bilt broke the good news on the GAM Facebook group event page:

Hello, Judge, hello all! The meeting was a success. A whole beautiful bunch from NYIT showed up at CCNY College networking and mingling with three other clubs from the campus. From NYIT side we had visiting UN, graduate and undergraduate clubs taking a field trip throughout the whole campus and familiarizing themselves with the surroundings. The visit culminated with a warm salutation with Mr. Rhinehart, Director of Student Life. Thank you all for a wonderful and insightful meeting. As I said today as a next step: CCNY comes to you NYIT people.  Ahoy to you shipmates and prepare yourselves for a phenomenal world celebration event.

Students are invited to come celebrate all the various nations and regions of the world represented at CCNY on April 12th from 12-2p in the NAC Rotunda.  Our goal is to offer our huge diverse population an opportunity to get to know one another--to share images, music, dress, and culinary samples of the communities here at CCNY culminating in and through the excitement of New Year’s Eve.  Experience it all through what we all share in common--celebrating the new year!  

Today began a new year of cooperation between clubs from two colleges along Broadway--East meets West.  Represented today from NYIT was Chinese Student Association, the United Nations Team, Chinese Business Student Association, and GAM/Great American Mentoring.  From CCNY, there was the African Students Union, Senegalese Students Association, Haitian Students Association, Caribbean Students Association and GAM/Great American Minds.  If you join us Now You're International Too, NYIT; and Crazy Cool Now Y'all at CCNY.
