Pink Tulip Foundation is one of the few organizations that offers education outside the Redmont University. We interviewed Culls about Heritage University, so while on the topic, and since we should all be interested in what’s happening in education, we asked Just_Jada, the creator of PTF a few questions.
In return, we received a massively detailed response on each of the questions, which provides insight to how the Foundation works. It also provides the public with information that otherwise wouldn’t be widely known, so big thanks to Just_Jada for that.
Without further ado, let’s get going with the questions!
CastoloGR: It’s been 2 weeks since the first published post about Pink Tulip Foundation. How has it been going ever since?
“The progress of the Pink Tulip Foundation has exceeded my expectations. While we’ve encountered a few challenges, those experiences have been valuable in helping us identify what works best for our students and staff. I am very optimistic about the direction we are headed and look forward to the start of our next term on October 1st. In the meantime, we have several initiatives and activities planned that will continue to strengthen our foundation and community.”
CastoloGR: Have there been any significant changes to how it works?
“Yes! We currently have a new registration system, and are adding new departments for the new term on October 1st. All of this will come in a big announcement soon.”
CastoloGR: More recently we saw Heritage University be established, and it seems like these two schools are an alternative of each other. What are the differences between the two schools?
“Heritage University is focused on tuition-based education, while the Pink Tulip Foundation is a non-profit built on the principle of free access to learning. Naturally, this difference in funding models shapes how each organization is run and pushed towards people. It’s not my place to comment on how others operate, but I can speak for Pink Tulip. I firmly believe that education should be free and accessible to everyone. That’s why, instead of charging students, we rely on the generosity of donors who believe in our cause. In fact, we’ve recently raised over $30,000 to reach one of our major goals! Far more than I could have imagined when starting out. Even if tuition fees are small, I don’t believe people should have to pay simply to learn. This is especially true for new players, who are still finding their footing on the server. For them, PTF is meant to be a welcoming gateway, a place where they can learn, grow, and succeed without barriers.”
CastoloGR: What is your relationship with Culls, the owner of HU? Do you see Heritage University as antagonistic competition, or like another organization trying to educate the people of Redmont?
“Culls has his way of contributing to education, and I have mine. In an ideal world, we’d both be offering high-quality education to the people of Redmont, and only time will show how that plays out. Personally, I believe the Pink Tulip Foundation brings some key strengths to the table. We prioritize education above all else, and we make sure support is available not only for students but also for our teachers. At PTF, we focus on helping one another and creating a true community of learning.”
CastoloGR: Back to Pink Tulip Foundation. Has it received the interest of the people of Redmont? Are people excited to learn with it?
“The Pink Tulip Foundation has received a good amount of interest with students being excited to learn from our professors. And with some teachers who are absolutely fabulous and are excited about teaching!”
CastoloGR: I know I’ll have to ask students about this, but what do you think their thoughts are about this organization?
“I can’t speak directly for my students, but I can proudly say that the Pink Tulip Foundation has professors who I’d consider some of the best in their fields. For students who put in the effort, the opportunities here are enormous. At the end of the day, learning always depends on how much you care about it. Effort is the key, if you give it your all, you’ll walk away with something truly valuable.”
It’s very apparent that Just_Jada is both amazed and excited about the progress of Pink Tulip Foundation, and is looking forward to expanding her ideas within the school. Truthfully, the speed at which PTF has grown is something to be proud of, plus the fact that the organization has raised $30,000 in donations so far.
PTF also has a strong sense of community, with professors who enjoy their job, as well as good organization for those staff members.
I won’t lie, the question about Heritage University perhaps was… a tricky one. Just_Jada handled it with professionalism, and it seems to me that both schools are focusing on a better tomorrow for Redmont’s education. They are not fighting against each other, they are fighting side by side.
