Following, students engaged in an internship breakout session with Dr. Beaupre and PPP Alumni Adam Clark. It is highly encouraged that in the summer between the end of their sophomore year and the fall semester of their junior year, students take on internships, whether that be locally in Cincinnati, back in their hometowns, or in the nation’s capital Washington D.C. The sophomores found this session particularly beneficial because it got students thinking about their summer plans, while allowing them to brainstorm the types of internships that best fit their skills, values, and varying interests.…
The legacy of Loma Linda University (LLU) and how it all began, told by Richard A. Schaefer was nothing short of inspirational. Ellen G. White, the pioneer that had the vision and drive to create the foundation we are all apart of today, deserves a tremendous amount of credit. The mission, vision, and values of LLU encompasses the thoughts and theories that Ellen G. White built the empire known as LLU upon. All students have displayed similar values throughout our application process putting us here, at the heart of this wonderful plan. “Making man whole” became the motto of the university and truly encapsulates what we all strive for in life. Having a balance in life through mind, body and spirit is essential to healthy living. Healthy…
My perspectives of life and morality will allow me to contribute to Liberty University’s missions in a number of ways. I see my purpose in life as merely a chance to change lives and to obey the calling that God places on my heart. I believe it is my jobs as a child of God to be the hands and feet of Christ no matter where that takes me. As a pastor’s daughter, I have been taught the perspectives of life and morality and how they reflect the way I live my life. I keep my perceptions of life and morality positive so I am assured my light for Christ is never mistaken or never overlooked. These perspectives will allow me to contribute a lot towards Liberty University’s missions and will allow God to use me for the advantage of His glory.…
It is difficult to land internships, but they offer a good way to break into a field. (Strategy 1)…
When my grand-uncle died, hundreds of people came to his funeral. Many were former patients; they spoke of how gracious my grand-uncle was. He changed the lives of many people by caring for those who could not afford healthcare. Before I die, I want to better the lives of as many people possible by developing cheap and accessible treatments. HLI’s Student Week provides the chance to utilize theoretical knowledge from scientific articles, AP sciences, and independent studies in practical application. Since the field I am passionate about pursuing is pathology, HLI’s focus on life sciences at a molecular level would be the most beneficial program for me as I would be learning how medical professionals research in a laboratory. From the skills…

I was supposed to start in the beginning of February but did not start until late March, which set me back from the other students. Dr.Holt told me I would be interning with Alabama Rivers Alliance, I was astonished, considering that this is a big organization to me I could not believe it. Opportunities like this I thought I would never get. Interning with them and attending the conference in mobile will expand my network, knowledge and gives me a better chance in getting a good job. With Alabama Rivers I expect to do a lot of office work, physical work, and learn policies I have no clue about. I also expect the environment to be friendly and energetic but yet filled with problems to solve. Unfortunately I did not get to experience none of my assumptions because there communication was terrible and was too busy for an…
As a first-generation student, I am significantly influenced by the Student Affairs staff at my undergraduate institution. When I arrived at Ramapo College, I quickly realized I was not prepared for college-level work, if it were not for the Educational Opportunity Fund Program, I would have felt lost and would have struggled both academically and financially. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have had many Student Affairs professionals guide me to academic success and personal development. As a result, I made the conscious effort to work with the minority students on campus and accepted the position as a Resident Program Assistant for the EOF program. I worked with a diverse population of students where the majority came from low-income communities who had the potential to perform college level coursework. While…
I have been fortunate enough over the last few years to be presented with a variety of academic subjects and interests, but they have always felt detached from reality. I see the University of Michigan’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as the filter through which I can truly determine my interests. Through LSA I can bring my interests in history and physics into a real world context.…

Academics was not always a passion of mine. In truth, given my socioeconomic status and the struggles my family has been plagued with throughout my life, I found it difficult to see the value of education. I did not put forth my best effort on account of my desire to learn, but because of encouragement by many of my teachers to pursue post-secondary studies.…
Science is a subject area I am truly passionate about and aspire to continue in it in my future education as well as my career. As my career aspirations are in the field of medicine and biotechnology, I believe it would be a great opportunity for me to enhance my knowledge and hone my skills by being a part of the Lab Assistant Program. The knowledge I have gained through rigorous academic courses is very insightful and detailed, and I wish to apply this knowledge to practical uses and projects to develop a more thorough and complete understanding of it. I completed AP Biology last year, and Honors Biology the year before. Through a combination of these courses, I have gained a much deeper comprehension into the field of biology, and a curiosity…
