I am currently on course for a University Studies degree with my three concentrations being Personal Financial Planning, Organizational Leadership, and Human Resource Development. Although, these courses are very different from my initial major—accounting—they each have concepts and theories
This year I had the amazing opportunity to become a student intern working as a member of the Athletic Department. Working for the Red Raider club has been a unique chance to see how college athletics works from a different perspective. As a student intern for over a year and a half now, I have struggled, grown, and learned immensely this past year. I have had the great pleasure of working with many great minds who have constantly pushed me to become a better student, and an employee. The Red Raider
him fired from Indiana University where he had coached for almost three decades. Indiana University took a thrashing from Knight fans’ over this decision, but keeping Knight as an agent of the University could have resulted in a legal disaster. From a Biblical worldview, the University showed mercy in the second chances that it provided to Knight. In addition, their actions did not appear to be malicious when they made the decision to let him go. Agency Law The University entered into a contract
On the first of March 2017 Tas dance came to Don College and performed Brew. Brew consisted of eight small contemporary dances that were choreographed by the dancers.

Contrasting A bit about the piece and how it was meaningful to them The first dance that stood out to me was ‘Homunculus’ created by Robert
Spiritual Formation Autobiography Although I was technically not born into a Christian family, my parents were saved when I was just age 3 and dedicated their lives to fulltime ministry. At age five I moved with my family to Knoxville, Tennessee to live and serve as missionaries on a church camp. We remained there for a short time before my father heard the call to become a pastor. We moved to Texas where my dad then graduated from seminary. The first church he pastored was where I accepted Christ
participating in the Honors College at the University of Arkansas this semester, I am taking two honors classes and can clearly notice the difference in rigor between the two honors classes and the rest of my schedule. I strive to be able to challenge myself by taking even more honors classes at Texas Tech in order to not only learn more but to continue developing my sense of self-discipline and perseverance. Both in high school and at the University of Arkansas my advanced and honors classes included
biomedical engineering careers contribute to society through hi-tech prosthetics that can get a veteran back on his feet after years of disability. I also plan on weaving my own influence like them; for example, although I currently volunteer through school clubs and events, in the future, I will do a lot more -- I will be volunteering to save lives every day. By receiving a degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Arkansas, I hope to one day join that heroic, close-knit community and
While many students claim to be engrossed in the medical field, one being myself, ultimately, only a few students take action towards their interest at a young age and go ahead on to pursue the field. Therefore, students who are sincere about their interest have a tendency to portray interest in minor research experiments, being in a medical field regardless of any materialistic reward, and being able to experience the true work of someone of the medical field. Although I am now at fifteen years

I completed my PhD degree in OR here at Georgia Tech, in 1975. John White (then new to Tech, now Chancellor of the University of Arkansas) gave me the kernel of an idea and, more importantly, he administered the one stiff kick in the rump that I needed to start my dissertation.
