In a few weeks, I'll be graduating from ACU. In a few short years, you will too. As unemployment continues to rise and college education becomes an expectation rather than a distinguishment, it becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate ourselves from the mass of graduates. Now that companies value experience over education, our degrees no ... [Read More…]
Issues SCOTUS and ACU share
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the state of Michigan's decision in a 6-2 ruling to end affirmative action at its public universities on Tuesday. This is not the first or final decision around the issue of a race-based admission process, nor any racial controversies in higher education for that matter.

The hunt for the elusive internship
Observe the female college student in her natural habitat. She sits, hunched and attentive, in front of her computer, her eyes glazed over and her wrists in danger of carpal tunnel as she furiously types and clicks. It is obvious she is not on a normal hunt.

Convictions still have a place
I chose a major that has given me no choice but to confront truth from all angles. As journalists, we have a duty to deliver the facts and made to word them in an unbiased AP Style. It forces our truths to be exposed, put on the stand and cross-examined. Many of mine have been trampled, revised and mostly humbled. However, when it comes to ... [Read More…]
