Mission District

INTRODUCTION I have been a faculty member of the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) since 2006. I am one of several professors who were former students of the University. I was a graduate student in UDC’s speech-language pathology program and graduated in May 1997 with a master’s of science degree. Afterwards, I served my obligatory clinical fellowship in Indiana and became a board certified speech-language pathologist in 1998. I worked as a speech-language pathologist in New York…

Medical Mission I am preparing for a medical mission to visit orphanages in Beijing, China. I have researched an article on a visit to Dali Yunnan, China, which was led by emergency department physicians and nurses and a translator. While, we will not be visiting Dali, I feel there is a great deal that we can learn from this group’s story of what to expect and how to better prepare for a medical mission trip to Beijing, China. One of the important things in preparing to care for others of a…

The Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grant is a system that is designed to reward the best teachers in a school monetarily and with leadership opportunities (U.S. Department of Education, 2014). There are other grants, such as the TEACH grant, that provide similar opportunities. While Watson (2010) found that school districts benefit from such grants, it is of vital importance that “districts manage these types of…

While serving a two-year mission away from home in Colorado and Wyoming for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I have faced innumerable obstacles.

Through the heartache and pain, I've had the opportunity to learn moral lessons, leadership skills, communication skills, perseverance, charity, and several other lessons that will be fundamental to leading a…
