Emotional response inspires action
Jason Beaubien is a seasoned reporter. He has worked on National Public Radio's foreign desk for almost 10 years; he has reported on coups, famines, war and natural disasters. He is used to chaos and violence - and a Haitian girl made him cry on the air. Most people would say journalists should be objective. Objectivity has a connotation of ... [Read More…]
New application deadlines in effect
The entering class of 2010 may have an edge on the rest of the student body, thanks to ACU's new - and stricter - admissions process.

Transparency key to building trust
Picture Capitol Hill without people. Not a tourist or lobbyist in sight. A sign on the door of the Capitol Building reads, "Government closed until further notice."

A life without hardship is a precursor to a life without ... [Read More…]

Holiday teaches valuable lesson
My mother never liked Halloween. It wasn't the candy or the costumes or even the dirty looks "real" Christians give you whenever you forget to call the Halloween party a "Fall Festival." She always just steered us away from what most people considered to be in the spirit of the holiday - ghouls, witches, ax murderers - and focused on the lighter ... [Read More…]
