As we settle into the fall semester, Palm Beach Atlantic University’s (PBA) campus is filled with students eager for what the year holds as they prepare for their future careers. Many students are returning after a busy summer — wrapping up internships, jobs or study abroad opportunities through the Rinker Center for Experiential Learning. In this article originally published in Inside Higher Ed, PBA associate professor of history, Dr. Elizabeth Stice, shares how trips abroad can enhance students’ confidence, understanding of other cultures, and give them an edge on employment.

At the OneHope Florida office, we recently said farewell to a cohort of more than 20 summer interns – bright students and new graduates eager to use their learned skills for the benefit of the ministry. These young adults represent a larger cohort who serve global teams throughout the year.

Asking trusted friends and mentors to shed light […]

We are in uncharted territory, then I am reminded we’ve been here a few times before. “I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10 NIV). Fear can overtake us, but God is all-powerful and will offer us all the strength we need. It seems to me we are being betrayed by the people whose job it is to protect us and bring about balance. The media, which is often called the fourth estate, refers to the press and news media both in explicit capacity of advocacy and implicit ability to […]

So here […]
