Clayton Early Childhood Center began as a partnership between parents and teachers who imagined a school that would provide loving, creative, and thoughtful education to children from their very first weeks of life. At first, conversations took place in hallways. Then, on the telephone. Soon, emails began to fly. This initial group became a committee, began to share their talents and formalize their ideas. More emails, phone calls, conversations in the hall. Momentum built and the future of CECC came into focus: An intimate, educational community where families and teachers work together to support their children’s health, happiness, development, and learning. Today, CECC offers top-notch care and education in a tranquil, homelike setting, at competitive tuition rates, with flexible, full-day programs – 7:30 am to 6:00 pm – that help meet the needs of working parents without additional before- or after-school care. We work to build long-term relationships with the families we serve, and consider the opportunity to share in their children’s growth and development to be a great responsibility and privilege. Our school is a nonprofit, cooperative effort. We are committed to maintaining responsible, transparent, and flexible practices to ensure that the organization will grow and evolve with its members. Clayton Early Childhood Center is a non-profit educational organization, fully licensed in the state of Missouri.
The ThurtenE Carnival is the oldest and largest student-run carnival in the United States. Each year, the net proceeds from the Carnival are donated to a St. Louis area charity. The Carnival always creates new and exciting memories for all who share in the experience. “Lot Week,” the week leading up to the Carnival, has been declared ThurtenE Carnival Week by the Governor of Missouri. During this week, the Brookings Parking Lot is transformed into a playground for the imagination. The ThurtenE Carnival traditionally attracts well over 80,000 people. This April 11th-13th, the ThurtenE Honorary expects over 100,000 people from both the Washington University and St. Louis community to attend the Carnival. The ThurtenE Carnival brings together over 50 student organizations at Washington University. From Residential Colleges, fraternities, and sororities to religious and ethnic organizations, participation in the Carnival is diverse and abundant. The teamwork of these diverse groups is what brings the Carnival to life. Fraternities and sororities build overwhelming façades and perform original plays for children, while other groups operate carnival games or host a food booth. These efforts contribute to making ThurtenE Carnival a truly unique event.

Frequently Asked Questions Q. So what’s cool about you? A. What’s cool about the ISF is that people from varying cultures find a common ground and manage to work so well together. Our different experiences and ideas give us each something unique to share. Q. What events do you have? A. We have Diversity Awareness Month (November), a whole month jam-packed with great speakers, intellectual debates on the hottest global topics, and cultural shows. The International Banquet (February) is very popular on campus—we’ve had everything from Chinese Lion dances, Irish tap dancing, to Flamenco and Hawaiian dancers. The Billiken World Fair (April) is a colorful parade of nations to celebrate the end of ATLAS week, and the coming of spring! There will be outdoor games and cultural performances. And the awesome food, of course—we've got something from baklava to paella. We also have smaller events/gatherings/private parties scattered throughout the year. Q. Who participates in the ISF? A. All international students automatically become members of the organization, but a lot of American-born students participate and attend our events as well. The ISF serves as an umbrella organization for six other cultural groups on-campus representing: Africa, Asia, Spain, Latin America and the Caribbean. Not only that, but the ISF receives support from independent cultural groups (namely the Black Student Alliance, Filipino Student Association, Indian Asian Student Association, Muslim Student Association, International Business Club). We also collaborate with other campus organizations and academic departments for our huge events. Q. But I’m not an international student! A. Being international doesn’t only mean coming from a different country other than the United States. From the point of view of students from different countries, you’re as international to them as they are to you. This is all about meeting people from all walks of life and sharing your experiences with each other. It’s about learning of a whole new world beyond your comfort zone—and that goes for both me and you! Q. Okay I'm convinced now....how do I join? A. You can be active in the ISF as much as you want to. Participation can range from simply attending our events to actually helping us plan them behind the scenes. Just attend one of our general meetings held on Fridays at 4pm (see calendar for specific dates) at the Cross Cultural Center (Suite 240 in the Busch Student Center). Hope to see you there!
We’re making St. Louis an even better place to live by connecting our region with greenways so you can be active, get around town and just enjoy being outside. Greenways are outdoor spaces connecting people and places. Ours include paved trails where you can take a walk, go for a run or ride a bike, or just explore and enjoy being outside. Our greenways are all different; some go through your neighborhood, getting you where you need to go. Some follow along a river, so you can exercise or just enjoy the outdoors. Others are full of stories of the history of our region! Greenways can hold great events for our community or programs so you can try something new. The long-term vision for the St. Louis region is called the River Ring, where more than 600 miles of trails will connect communities, bike-friendly streets and transit, and our region’s great rivers and parks in a network of greenways. By creating the River Ring, we’re offering one more way for 2 million residents plus visitors to get around, we’re enhancing our economy and we’re conserving natural resources throughout this 1,200 square mile region. (That’s roughly the size of Rhode Island!) Great Rivers Greenway is a regional parks and trails district created by a vote of the people to connect St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County.
The North Side Association (NSA) envisions a future in which all students are positively impacted by the NSA, such that they are better able to meet the challenges of the world, maintain connection with the Washington University community, and proudly affirm that “there’s nothing like your North Side year!"
We believe that a student’s critical awareness of the world and adeptness in oral and written communication provide a lasting basis for professional success and a fulfilling life. By providing solid grounding in English or communication studies, courses in each major develop the skills and perspective that enable students to adapt to change and devise creative solutions to new problems. Optional professional concentrations in broadcasting, journalism, professional writing, public relations, and teacher certification prepare students for specific careers. We also offer internship opportunities and a variety of extracurricular activities. Dynamic classes, a growing number of majors, and the long-term success of our alumni demonstrate the relevance of our programs to a diverse and changing society. Fontbonne students who have majored in English or communication studies have pursued careers in law, advertising, public relations, teaching, business, politics, journalism, and broadcasting.
