Spring break at HU Arizona took an incredible turn this year when we hosted the Seattle Mariners, who happen to play spring training across the street from us. As the Major League Baseball team geared up for the upcoming season, they turned to the University's state-of-the-art facilities to capture media footage.

Seven Huntington University undergraduate students and two employees, together with a team of students and staff from Mississippi State University and staff from the M4 Institute, traveled to Momostenango, Guatemala, in May to complete several agriculture-focused projects.

Huntington University students came away from the 2023-2024 academic year with a lengthy list of accolades and accomplishments to their credit. But rather than having us tell you about them, we asked the Foresters themselves: What did this award mean to you?

For many American college students used to the idea that their teachers in elementary, middle, and high school were also not at school during summer vacation, the fact that a university employee like me works during the summer months can come as a surprise.

Words like “community” and “highly qualified” may describe HU’s doctoral program, but they also perfectly describe one of the program’s graduates: Alexandria Froehlke. A graduate of both the OTA and OTD programs in 2021 and 2024, respectively, she is the definition of the Forester traits of caring completely and embracing interconnectedness.

It’s about time (get it?) for the last post in the T.I.M.E. Management Series. So far, we have talked about taking a deep breath when getting started, investing in a planner or calendar, and making room for unexpected events. We’ve talked a lot about how to get started with time management skills, but what about specific studying strategies?

As the saying goes, “Expect the unexpected.” Even if you fill out your planner, commit to a study schedule, and try to fall asleep at a reasonable time, life, especially in college, is completely unpredictable. Some events are unavoidable, like an illness or family situation. Others are by choice, like choosing to watch a movie with your roommate instead of finishing up your chemistry lab (guilty!).

Having a planner and keeping a calendar on my phone has increased my productivity and makes me feel more confident about my schedule. I write out my assignments in black ink and then highlight them when I have turned them in, and I feel accomplished when I see my week in color!

Time management. Fourteen letters, two words, one seemingly impossible task. Between classes, internships, homework, spending time with friends, sleeping, and work, managing your time well can be difficult. No matter where you’re at with your time management skills, this series is for you!

Taught by Dr. Kevin Miller, Intercultural Communications is a course designed to push students out of their comfort zones and educate them on how to respectfully and effectively communicate. But why just read about how to communicate with cultures when there are so many opportunities in the Huntington and Fort Wayne area to experience them?
