I have never left the continent, and it has always been a prominent goal of mine.…

About 30% of two-year college students had only simple math skills and about 20% of four-year college students had basic…

The reaction Black John obtains is what…
When reading the title of one of the colloquia series, "College Hookup Culture and Christian Ethics", I had a certain preconceived idea of what I would expect from this presentation.

However, the speaker, Jennifer Beste, was understanding of how our culture has transformed and relayed this information in an…

Over the first several weeks of school I have had the rewarding experience of being involved with the fast-track English 111 class provided by my high school and local community college. I have gained experience in managing deadlines, juggling prompts, meeting various criteria, and learning what it truly is that makes writing both correct and brilliant.
