Columbia College How did the chicken enter into college? By selling its left kidney. While this joke is funny it truly represents the struggles of entering college. College tuition seems to go up every year making it harder to encourage students to pay the money to go to college. The main point students need to remember is the importance of an education, and how much further it will take you in life than a GED. College is not supposed to be all about education either, because the…

Columbia International College (CIC) is a private university-preparatory boarding school. The school motto is “Seek, Strive and Succeed”. It is the largest international private boarding school in Canada that operates as a non-profit organization but works in accordance with the legal requirements established by the Education Act. Unlike private schools in other provinces of Canada, private schools in Ontario do not receive any funding or financial support from the government. As Columbia…

Cover memo The company that I work for grows asparagus on 650 acres of land. The name of the company is called Columbia Farms. Columbia Farms is growing financially due to the drought in California and the shortage of asparagus in Mexico and Peru. The shortage of asparagus in those places allows the abundance here in Washington State to be sold at a higher price. Columbia Farms hires around 250 seasonal employees each spring, from late March to early June. The average age of the seasonal…

The Columbia River, at 1,243 miles long, is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest and is the fourth-largest river in the United States. Originating from the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, Canada, it ends in the Pacific Ocean in Oregon, with the largest flow of any river draining into the Pacific. High flow occurs in the late spring and early summer due to snow melt upstream, with low flow being in autumn and winter, causing major water shortages at the hydroelectric plants along the…

horrifying experience the day of today. It was the most dangerous and deadly thing we have encountered on this trip so far. ( and I thought yesterday was bad enough). The trail we have been taking all this time has a part where we have to cross the Columbia River. It had fast rapids, huge rocks, and high cliff walls. In fact, I have not the slightest clue of how I am alive and breathing right now. I thought I would surely drown and die in that river. Anyways, to cross over the river our group…

center of business, and a chance to network and learn abroad. This is why Columbia College interests me the most. Despite my inclination towards the mathematics and business aspects of a liberal arts education, I also aspire to expand my insights beyond the buttons of my TI-84 and into diverse cultures and natural sciences, both inside and outside of the classroom. I find the major of financial economics to be unique to Columbia College and believe that it will to pertinent to my career goals…

physicians representing disciplines such as family medicine, infectious disease, and pediatrics. Just as diversity is essential to medicine, a diverse range of exposures is equally important for a medical student. The reason I am most interested in the Columbia-Bassett program is because it will provide me with a unique opportunity to learn about health care in two very different environments. This will enrich my capacity to work as a physician. As a graduate student, I studied population…

codes laid out these codes do not always work for all centres or all situation. An example of this is the idea that “early childhood educators use developmentally appropriate practices when working with children” (Early childhood educators of British Columbia, 2008, p. 6). There have been times in my own practice where I have seen children thrive with practices that were a bit over their developmental age skill. In these times the child had fun and learned more practical knowledge and learned…

on stilts or even moving entire communities (ibid). The British Columbia government also warned builders and developers to plan for a one- meter rise in the sea level within the next 90 years (ibid). People are told to plan ahead of time when building homes, therefore their homes would not be destroyed as much as the ones built earlier before knowing…
