"It Takes a Village"

Today, if you walked a mile in Mark Brewington’s shoes, you’d likely end up with your toes in the Pacific Ocean. The double Johnson & Wales University alum, ’11, ’18 MBA ­– Hospitality, (triple alum if you count his '08 associate degree in culinary arts) lives within a few blocks of the beach and keeps his horses on a horse farm outside of San Diego.

5,539 Miles Away From Campus, I Took My First JWU Online Course

This summer I took my first ever online class at Johnson & Wales. I am currently a full-time student at the Johnson & Wales University Providence Campus but wanted to continue my education and earn some extra credits over the summer. I was accepted to an internship program based in Jerusalem and chose to take an additional class while I was away. While looking through the online options, I stumbled upon a free elective called “Culture and Food” and figured that there was no better class to take while I was exploring abroad.

Eight Ways to Write Better Papers in 2018

One of my roles as the College of Online Education’s Student Writing Support Specialist is to help students understand what academic writing means, and how they can accomplish it.

Academic writing is an essential skill and one that involves clarity and power of expression. Writing specific and detail-oriented text, incorporating relevant sources, and maintaining a clear sense of audience, purpose, and genre are key elements to writing at a higher level.

I know this sounds a bit complicated, so let’s break it down! Here are eight things to keep in mind when writing:

An Open Letter to Moms (and Dads) Getting Their Master's Degrees

At some point over the next 8 to 11 weeks, you’ll have to decide whether to read The Global Public Relations Handbook: Theory, Research, and Practice for your course or 5-Minute Disney Princess Stories to your daughter.

It sounds like an easy choice, but it’s not.

Nine Ways to Sharpen Your Skill Set (Three are Free!)

There are many ways to update skills or learn new skills. If you are unsure how to proceed, ask yourself: What do I need, or want, to learn; how much time am I able to invest; and how much money will I need to spend? If you have multiple needs or interests, determine which are most pressing and which are long-term educational goals. Then, consider how you can effectively meet your needs, in terms of educational requirements, and the time and money you can afford to invest. You might sharpen some of your skills with a little time and/or money.
