“UC Davis Career and Internship Fair” This fall I started my journey with UC Davis. Davis is a really exciting, new and challenging chapter in my life. I moved from San Mateo, where I lived with my fiancée, to an apartment in Davis where I live on my own. Starting new school, and being surrounded by many new faces is not easy. I am not a person who can easily meet and connect with new people. UC Davis offers a lot of events for its students, some of them are very exciting like the…

There are few things in sports journalism that I’m more comfortable with than a beat. My experience – primarily in college as a writer, then editor, of the Daily Bruin at UCLA – has been shaped by the beat system. UCLA’s strongest athletic teams are often the Olympic sports rather than football or men’s basketball, and the Daily Bruin is lucky to have a large enough staff to fully cover all of those teams. Since my first day in the Sports Department as a contributor on the men’s water polo beat…

learned a lot of useful knowledge and loves my life in UC Davis. Yet, I am writing to point out problems with the quarter system. Similarl to many aggies, in my first college year, I had a hard time adapting to the university life because of the quarter system. To succeed in university, every UC student must spend a lot of time adapting this depressive and painful system. However, after acclimating this schedule, students still need to bear massive stress and many inconveniences that are brought…

The purpose of this paper is to examine distance learning in higher education, using Bolman and Deal’s symbolic and human resources frames. Bolman and Deal’s four major frames are symbolic, human resources, structural, and political, which together are a powerful tool for gaining clarity, reframing, looking through multiple lenses, regaining balance, generating new options, and finding strategies. The human resource frame centers on the relationship between people and organizations, the fit…

I can’t believe that I just finished my first year as a college student. To be completely honest, it went by fast. Being on a college campus, let alone a college student was so surreal to me. It was really unbelievable. I learned a lot of things that I never imagined I would come across of learning. If I must admit, the transition from high school to college was arduous. I was like a bird that was waiting for its owner to tell me which way to go or what song to sing. In high school, there was a…
