Grand Canyon

As part of my leadership course at Grand Canyon University I was assigned to volunteer/internship in an experience that would enrich my future career. I was very fortunate to work out an agreement with the Director of Security and Safety at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona and the home of the NHL Arizona Coyotes. My current career has me working at the University of Phoenix Stadium over seeing responsibilities in security and guest services. By volunteering to work at an NHL arena, I felt…

months, doing training hikes, planning flights, and reserving campsites, but that first view really made everything that went into the trip worth it. Things like that really can’t be captured in a picture. No matter how stunning a photograph of the Grand Canyon is, it’s nothing compared to standing on the edge of a hundred foot drop and just taking in the hugeness of one of the most famous landmarks in the world. Even my little eleven-year-old brain could understand the immensity of what I was…

great reviews, small classroom size, unique attention given to me. How I can develop to who I want to be such as being a critical thinker, developing my full potential as a leader with Christianity as my faith contributed immensely to choosing Grand Canyon University. A degree is what I need to be able to achieve my aim in life. The aim is one day to be a leading figure in Aviation in my country. That right there is a dream people do not see for me but I can foresee happening. The surest way to…

public audience the wonders of geysers, fogged peaks, and miles and miles of treeless plains. The last and perhaps most wondrous area of the frontier to be explored lay south in the arid canyonlands of thePlateau Region — The Colorado River and its Grand Canyon. Unlike many of the inhabited regions in…

Should the federal government make Providence Canyon a national park? For me the answer would be absolutely, others may have a different opinion. Providence Canyon has everything a national park needs. They have hiking trails, picnic shelters, pioneer camps, and back country camps and trails. The park is like any other with the nature and camps and trails. Most importantly is Georgia's Little Grand Canyon. There is no reason that it should not be a national park. This has beautiful…

having an individual in the position to effectively facilitate teachers into the Google classroom. I want to properly blend classroom’s curriculum with technology, no matter where my career takes me. Due to my husband being the military I choose Grand Canyon University (GCU) because their distance learning was available in many places. After talking with an advisor, I learned why my aunt was adamant about attending GCU for her doctorate. Earning my degree in Curriculum and Instruction was…

The Grand Canyon, located in Northern Arizona, is a spectacular site as it is 277 miles long and 18 miles wide. In 1919, The Grand Canyon became a National Park, yet before that it had been revered by multiple Southwest tribes for thousands of years. Native American occupation dates to 12,000 years ago and today there are 11 tribes that are traditionally and historically associated with the canyon. Throughout humankind’s history there has always been a debate concerning natural resources and…

I was completely overwhelmed. We were going to the Grand Canyon! Wow! Nine years old and already having the chance of a lifetime! We were all super-excited, Carina (my twin sister) and I especially, because it was our first time here. Mommy and Daddy had already been here once. But they were still excited, too. “This is really nice weather for the hike,” Mommy commented. “Last time we were here the pollution was so thick you could barely see half as far as you can now. You’re in luck, girls.” We…

In 1875 traveling along the railway was anything but luxurious and the food options were atrocious. Besides the fact that there were very few restaurants options near railway stops the food offered was often rancid and took so long to be served customers didn’t have time to eat it. These existing restaurants weren’t concerned about one-overing their customer because they would never see them again. Fred Harvey was one of the first to recognize this unmet need and he capitalized on it. Harvey…
