Biola University

My ethnographic research paper is about Biola University’s Torrey Honors Institute. I decided to research on this topic because I am really interested in this liberal honors program and in Torrey students’ academic life. I noticed that most Biola students do not know much about Torrey students. Normal Biola students will stereotyped Torrey students and consider them to be intellectual elitists, since the Torrey program is an honors program. Therefore, I wanted to do research on Torrey Honors Institute

The food on Biola University is all provided by Bon Appetite. In the beginning, I did not know that Bon Appetite’s food was Certified Humane so I decided to show support of humane treatment of animals by going on a vegetarian diet. Since I could not go off campus to buy Certified Humane groceries nor could I really afford buying healthy groceries, I decided to go vegetarian. I did the vegetarian diet for two weeks and obtained protein through nuts, beans, and peanut butter. When I was participating

accent is something that I inevitably could not erase however, the various comments that come with my way of verbally expressing has often made me feel insignificant, and incompetent at times. Conversely, with the help of one of my professor at Biola University, I have come to learned that ascents should not diminish our unique capabilities that we have within ourselves. Moreover, I have gained an aspect of being open-minded, and surrounded myself in activities that involved expressing verbally. Truthfully

you will find me to be a good fit for your Instructional Design team. As a Lead Instructional Designer at Pearson, I have been thoroughly enjoying various collaborations with university program leaders and building fruitful relationships with positive outcomes and great rapport. I love being a liaison between the university and our rotating instructional design team. This experience has proven to me that I thrive in the place of fostering creative designs, innovating new work processes, organizing

College, is it really worth it? Some say yes, some say no. Some have not even gone to college, and the reason for that, is the ridiculous amount a person has to pay, endure, and live through. “On average, a college graduate with a bachelor’s degree earned $30,000 more per year than a high school graduate…” (Is College Education Worth It?). Usually that sounds grand and would also make somebody very ecstatic yet, learning the other side of the story might make you cringe. Within nine, to ten years

United States has leading other develop countries in attracting the highest number of international students interested in pursuing post-secondary degree. According to the Open Doors report, “The number of international students at colleges and universities in the United States increased by 7.0 percent to a record high of 623,805 in the past academic year, and by 165 percent in the last three decades” (Institute for International Education, 2008). The influx of international students in the US, seems

For many in the middle class student debt has a strong and relentless grasp on their economic future. In their article "Why Free Higher Ed Can't Wait" Jeje Biola and Belinda Rodriguez state that, "Student debt has reached a record total of over $1.3 trillion" (6). This has left many people wondering where this is coming from and wanting change. This number is just too high in the minds of the average American. In the last few years free college tuition has been a hot topic in American politics, as

is a reason a college education is worth it. For one, those who acquire a college education are more employable than those who do not because jobs requiring college degrees are increasing. According to Tony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, “educated workers are becoming increasingly valuable for two reasons, the first being that most lower-skilled jobs are being shipped overseas, and the second being that computers have started to do much of
