Bachelor's degree

I graduated cum laude from The American University’s Honors Program with a BA in Visual Media, after a two-year focus on Biology. I went on to receive my MFA in Film with honors from Columbia University. My thesis film, “Loop Planes” won numerous awards and was an official selection at over 50 festivals worldwide. Currently, I am enrolled in several college science courses through Coursera, including “Dog Emotion and Cognition.” Throughout high school and undergrad, I worked as a lifeguard and…

General Education Reflection Over the course of my undergrad education here at Iowa state, I have always tried to keep a greater perspective in mind when working on focused topics. Whether that be working on projects or conducting a lab, knowing where that fits as a whole is a key insight to becoming a well-rounded engineer. With this thinking in mind, we are able to construct where ideas lie respectively and fill in the gaps between subjects. Coming to the end of my senior year, I am reflecting…

There is a health care strategy and market development organization that is out there to help. This organization is the only membership group of the American hospital association. SHSMD is committed to helping its members meet the…

“The calling of the humanities is to make us truly human in the best sense of the word” (Miller). We are shaped by our experiences as humans and as the saying goes, life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you react to it. What determines the actions we take? The humanities. That goes to show that the importance of humanities cannot be overemphasized. The chasm that exists between both the STEM and humanities has proven to be nothing short of a bane on the growth of the…

that is around us. My two younger sisters also got pregnant, one got pregnant at the age of fifteen, and the other at the age of eighteen. I want my daughters to see me get my college degree and to see me lead by example, and follow in my footsteps. Purpose: I love to watch movies…

I didn’t know that I was Black until the fifth grade. I mean, I always knew that I was Black as in the Black slash African American box I poorly shaded in every year on the CST. But, I was never truly cognizant in the ways in which the melanin in my skin differentiated me from others. During a passing period between classes, I came to a realization of my race. Like hundreds of times before, I entered the dimly lit restroom connected to the cafeteria of my elementary school; but, instead of…

information. The participants were interviewed individually, as most of the Chinese students were relatively more introverted in public compared with their Western peers. The questions were semi-structured and more exploratory to provide a certain degree of freedom and encourage spontaneity (Alzheimer Europe, 2009). Therefore, the interviewer designed some questions aimed to collect general information from the participant, to lead the discussion into a deeper level, and to put the participants…

This article was a very interesting read. This study examined the factors that undergraduate students took into consideration when selecting a graduate program. I will be making the same considerations as the students involved in this study, but maybe in a slightly different order of importance. Results from this study revealed six influencing factors, including characteristics of the academic environment of the program, financial aid, residence status, work related concerns, spousal…
