The God's Politics blog seeks to run a variety of opinions on important issues of faith, politics, and culture. Unlike pieces by Jim Wallis and Sojourners staff, other opinions expressed on this blog do not necessarily represent the position of Sojourners.
"O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens." And from those heavens descended a deadly cloud.
"Out of the mouths of babes and infants ..." The children of Plaza Towers Elementary?
"What are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?" Indeed that is the question that troubles the heart of the faithful in times like these.
Can we still praise God? If so, how do we start? Can we possibly understand what happened in Moore, Okla.?
Don't trust anyone who claims to comprehend the meaning of this storm. Don't trust anyone who points with absolute certainty to a single cause for this storm. Don't trust anyone who treats a tornado as anything but indiscriminate and cruel. These tragedies are not punishments or object lessons. Such natural forces do not reach their conclusion with a pat moral or a simple "they lived happily ever after."
Jesus says some stuff in the inaugural speech of his ministry that really upsets the status quo of both the religious and non-religious. In essence, he says, "If you are to follow me as King of this newly inaugurated Kingdom of God, you will need to start loving your enemies as much as yourself. You will need to start getting creative in how you deal with your oppressors in order to choose the way of love and reconciliation rather than the way of revenge and contempt. In fact, when you live as peacemakers, you best reflect what it looks like to be children of God. Those of you that choose this way of life will be blessed."
A few years later — after Jesus has been announcing the good news of the Kingdom through both word and deed — he looks over Jerusalem and begins to weep. Here is the people and the city that is to symbolize right relationship with God and humanity. It is to be a place of shalom where salvation flows through all aspects of life. It is to be the city of peace. Instead, Jesus stands on the Mount of Olives overlooking the city and laments, "If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace!"
Finally, Jesus, as king, messiah, and deliverer models this way of life to the point of death on a cross. Refusing to accept the lure of power through military might or pursuing peace through violence, Jesus embodies the life of suffering and self-sacrifice that he is calling his followers to emulate. Jesus, as the ultimate peacemaker, shows us that the life and work of peacemaking isn't some fairy tale euphoria, but the gritty, subversive and sacrificial life of faithfulness to a God and kingdom that lives by a different standard than the systems and powers of the world.
Quote of the day."That's prime land. I've raised 294 bushels of corn an acre there before, with water and the Lord's help. It's over." Ashley Yost, Haskell County, Kan., whose farm is on the southern High Plains Aquifer, which is now so low that crops can't be watered.(New York Times)
Editor's Note: As we continue reporting on the important topic of sexual abuse and violence, Sojourners has opened up the Sexual Violence and the Church blog series for submissions. This piece is one such submission. If you are interested in submitting a post for the series, please email the Web Editor HERE.
I first became aware of the realities of sexual abuse in the church at the tender age of five. I happened to look at the television screen and witnessed police officers escorting my hand-cuffed youth minister in front of a crowd of reporters screaming questions. The words "YOUTH PASTOR ABUSED CHILDREN" flashed across the television screen.
I was confused and scared. My family comforted and assured me that the pastor had only "hurt" teenage boys and that I was safe. The church hired a new minister and, on the surface, life seemed to resume to normal for our congregation. But as a child I had no idea of the effects of the abuse and its aftermath had on the survivors, their families, and our church community. Many families soon experienced disintegrating marriages, friendships were broken, and faith was lost. One survivor's family had their home repeatedly vandalized and were forced to move hundreds of miles from our town to escape fellow believers who grew angry with them for filing a lawsuit against the perpetrator.
Church leaders shunned media attention and feared "airing dirty laundry" in public, encouraging members to keep the experience a secret for the sake of the boys and church. As a child, and then a teenager, growing up in an otherwise loving, connected church, I never remember hearing church leaders address this aspect of our shared history in the open. To some of the survivors and the broken-hearted, the silence on this topic was welcome; to others it was deafening. While secrecy was the rule, the legacy of the abuse was real and active in the community. Rather than being cared for with dignity and love, the survivors and their families felt that they were a shameful secret to be whispered about and hidden. I learned as an adult that I was intimately connected with some of the survivors but never knew about their silent pain. I had no idea that I was a participant in a culture of silence and shame that often surrounds sexual abuse and is especially pronounced when boys are abused by men in the church.
Last week Pope Francis spoke out against the cult of money. Here is how Catholic News Service's Carol Glatz summarized his remarks:
Pope Francis called for global financial reform that respects human dignity, helps the poor, promotes the common good and allows states to regulate markets.
"Money has to serve, not to rule," he said in his strongest remarks yet as pope concerning the world's economic and financial crises.
A major reason behind the increase in social and economic woes worldwide "is in our relationship with money and our acceptance of its power over ourselves and our society," he told a group of diplomats May 16.
"We have created new idols" where the "golden calf of old has found a new and heartless image in the cult of money and the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly humane goal."
The Supreme Court agreed Monday to consider whether prayers can be offered at government meetings — a practice that's been common in Congress and throughout the states for more than two centuries.
The religious expression case, which comes to the court from the town of Greece, N.Y., focuses on the first 10 words of the First Amendment, ratified in 1791: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."
That Establishment Clause was violated, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last year, when the Greece Town Board repeatedly used Christian clergy to conduct prayers at the start of its public meetings. The decision created a rift with other appeals courts that have upheld prayer at public meetings, prompting the justices to step in.
Each year 90,000 parents in the U.S. confront the profound suffering that follows the death of a child or adolescent.
Some of those rely on faith to help them through their grief. Others look to psychiatrists, who offer therapy or prescribe antidepressants to help ease their patients' pain.
On Saturday, in a move that could add to the tension between religion and science, the American Psychiatric Association changed a controversial diagnosis regarding how grief relates to mental health.
The change "will affect every single person in the country, because at some point we're all going to be bereaved," said Joanne Cacciatore, founder of the Center for Loss and Trauma in Phoenix and a professor of social work at Arizona State University.
At issue are questions as fundamental as how long we grieve, what clinical label we assign to sadness, and when grief transforms into mental illness.
The modification also rekindles long-standing debates about whether spirituality or medicine offers the best pathway out of bereavement.
Last week, concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached 400 parts per million – nearly 15 percent over what many scientists estimate is a safe level. Amid this and other crises in creation, the Environmental Protection Agency needs a strong leader to navigate the complex policy and economic situation that governs environmental policy.
In March, In March, President Barack Obama nominated Gina McCarthy to lead the EPA. At the time, many regarded her as a shoo-in, as she has held top posts under Republican governors, was endorsed by many in the energy industry, and has acted as assistant administrator of the EPA under President Obama since 2009.
It was surprising, then, when all eight Republican members of the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee decided to boycott McCarthy's nomination hearing. This surprise decision, which effectively canceled the vote, was part of a longer-term pattern of obstruction and partisanship on once-routine matters.
In the face of such unprecedented risk to human health and well-being, many were surprised that senators tasked with studying issues of clean air, clean water, and similar issues put ideology ahead of fairness in obstructing the vote. Sen. David Vitter, the leader of the obstructionist group, said it best himself in 2005 when discussing judicial appointments: "I think that every nominee deserves a vote. It's a matter of fairness."
Just two more months, the daughter promised her mother by telephone, then she'd be home for good.
Making shirts in this packed metropolis of 12 million people, Sheuli Akhter, 20, made decent money — about $140 a month — by the impoverished standards of rural Bangladesh. But she missed the family benefiting from the wages of her hard work.
Her mother, Ranjana Akhter, was found sobbing near the rubble of the Rana Plaza factory where her daughter worked, days after the eight-story complex collapsed and killed more than 1,100 workers. Viewing dozens of corpses a day, the 35-year-old woman still hoped her daughter had somehow survived.
The victims retrieved from the debris were crushed and unrecognizable in the South Asian heat.
"I am looking for her body, but they are all decomposed now. It's getting harder to identify," said Ranjana Akhter, tears falling from her eyes.
The scale of the mismanagement and breadth of the human tragedies in Bangladesh powerfully illustrated what years of abuse, inhumane conditions, and unthinkable danger could not: Garment workers in Third World countries take enormous risks to earn a living in Bangladeshi-owned companies that produce clothing for Western retailers.

Cliff Robinson had a pretty good career with the Blazers and Suns.
The correct answer would be Wang ZhiZhi though...
Yao was not near the shooter Okur was. As Chronz said, Pau was a better shooter. So was Smits. And Perkins. And Cliff.
Croon, I used to LAUNCH three's with Wang in one of the old nba video games. The dude was lights out.
As for real life, he was solid but IDT he was comparable to sikma, okur, or some of the others.
And IDT Ming "stretched" the floor enough. He had a great 12-16 ft shot but couldn't really extend it much further. And he also did most of his work out of the post.
Okur was definitely the center on those teams. He would defend the opposing C and Boozer was the absolute PF.
Memo in 2k I miss jimbob
We're from same nationality with Memo so you'd guess i say yes, but no, not because i can back this up, just because i hate the guy.
Hell no! Miller and Sabonis are great candidates. You could also make arguments for few natural power forwards that frequented the 5 spot at some point in their careers. Garnett would be a prime example.
mm im thinking chambers was not much of a 3p shooter but he had long range and forced defenders to go outside on him, played more 4 than 5 ( 4 in sonics 5 in suns because their centers were always wack...had they had one good center and they may have won the thing in late 80s).

Tattoo & Piercing in Inkster
Recommended Tattoo & Piercing by Groupon Customers
Jen draws on more than 15 years in the permanent-makeup industry to fill in sparse eyebrows, augment lash lines with permanent eyeliner, and strategically trace on lip liner to counterbalance lip asymmetries. The tattoo-like makeup applications streamline morning beauty routines, cutting out minutes spent distinguishing eyeliner from off-brand fountain pens. Jen offers free pretreatment consultations, as well as touchups for a modest fee.
The tattoo artists at Chroma Tattoo know that tattoos last a lifetime and create a permanent connection between the client and the artist. With that much at stake, they leave nothing to chance. Before their needles and inks ever pierce skin, the artists walk clients through a long preparation process that involves designing the tattoo and determining the placement. They first work out the details of the design on paper, and then, they freehand the design onto the skin. This process gives clients the chance to make adjustments and give feedback.
While their friends are getting tattoos, guests can sink into two large leather sofas that huddle around a flat-screen TV. Here they can wile away the hours watching Netflix, playing Xbox 360, or contemplating which president had the most imposing beard.
Clients leave Elite Ink transformed. Images of wolves, ankhs, and hearts permanently paint their skin, and metal loops dangle from earlobes, bellybuttons, and even throats. Such services are made possible by the tireless work of talented artists, each of whom has received Blood Borne Pathogen Certification from the American Red Cross. Sterilized, prepackaged needles ensure safety and that every torso portrait of Marvin the Martian aboard a razor scooter is pixel-perfect. A backlog of photos speaks to the caliber of work produced by Elite Ink's artists. The tattooed names of ex-boyfriends and parents who put a hold your allowance can be safely removed by undergoing laser tattoo-removal treatments.
Dr. Michael Margolis, a board-certified physician, oversees each treatment at Erase The Ink M.D. To start, a trained technician applies topical Lidocaine to numb the area. Next, the technician aims a RevLite Q-switched laser at the offending ink. While the laser sends intense pulsed light beneath the skin to break up the pigment, which is then released naturally through the body's immune system, a jet releases cold air on the area to optimize comfort. Not without a sense of humor, the staff donates its services to the patient with the worst tattoo each week.

Tourists and pilgrims are continuing to visit the Sistine Chapel -- famed for the ceiling painted by Michelangelo -- at the moment, Lombardi said.
Benedict resigned Thursday evening, the first pope to do so in six centuries, and will probably never be seen in public again.
Now known as pontiff emeritus, he will spend the next few weeks at the papal summer residence, Castel Gandolfo, before moving to a small monastery within the Vatican grounds.
He spent the first day of his retirement reading and praying, following a good night's sleep, Lombardi said Friday.

Burberry Group is a British luxury fashion house, manufacturing clothing, fragrance, and fashion accessories. Its distinctive tartan pattern has become one of its most widely copied trademarks. Burberry is most famous for its iconic trench coat, which was invented by founder Thomas Burberry. The company has branded stores and franchises around the world, and also sells through concessions in third-party stores. HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH The Prince of Wales have granted the company Royal Warrants. The Chief Creative Officer is Christopher Bailey. The story of the brand started in 1856 when Thomas Burberry opened his first clothing store in Basingstoke (England). Burberrys invention of 'gabardine', a fabric that was waterproofed before it was weaved made the store very popular. Burberry started to equip the royal family as well as the British military with its outerwear. Another famous fan was Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who chose Burberry clothing for his expedition to the South Pole. By 1900 the store had become so popular that Burberry decided to expand to London. In 1955 Burberry was acquired by Great Universal Stores (GUS). GUS continually updated Burberry's image and pushed international expansion. In 1997 GUS was advised to sell Burberry because its worth would only decline in the future. A new CEO turned around this projection. Instead of being held back by the heritage tag of Burberry, they started to exploit it and put the brand alongside of heritage brands like Prada and Louis Vuitton. | more |

US K-12 Testing and Assessment: 2012 Market Size, Share & Forecast
One of the remarkable features of the US K-12 testing and assessment market is the disproportionate effect of one piece of legislation. The signing of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) in 2001 spawned a new era of assessment-driven public education, where state-by-state performance became subject to a quantitative analysis of test results. Eleven years later, educators are moving beyond "teaching to the test" and are now looking for tools to show an individual student's progress in a way that can guide instruction in real time. This report addresses the current size of the testing and assessment market and Outsell's predictions on its future growth, in anticipation of a higher-level analysis due later in 2012. This report includes:
- A segmentation of the testing and assessment market into summative testing, classroom assessment, and college readiness and test preparation categories, including growth and revenue estimates;
- Key trends and market drivers;
- Potential disruptive forces;
- 10 companies to watch;
- Market share and growth of top testing and assessment companies.

The Catch-22 Aspect of Being a Nanny or Au Pair
Monday, April 25, 2011
Along with many other nannies and au pairs out there, I spend an extremely significant amount of time with my current charge. To be more specific, Maya, the sweetest and most adorable nine-month-old you will ever meet, is in my care Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., which is a total of 50 hours per week. We spend our days together filled with adventures at the zoo, fun-filled days at the children's museum, and trips to various neighborhood coffee shops for music time. As if that weren't enough to keep us busy, we also take a swim class twice a week and a baby sign language class once a week at the local community center. All of this time and interaction with one another has definitely formed a pretty amazing bond between the two of us. Nothing is better than walking into work every morning and being greeted by her crawling over to me, with her tiny arms raised into the air, almost begging to be picked up. What's even better is that I am lucky enough to have the most wonderful mom boss who helps to foster the nanny-child connection and also believes that the bond her daughter and I have will have a tremendous impact on the other relationships she will form later on in life.
Throughout my years as a nanny, it is an honor to have been chosen by the families I have worked for to have such a great impact on the lives of their children. Next to their parents, it is my job and responsibility to provide these children with a sense of both emotional and physical security on a daily basis. I feel that because of this, it is my obligation to explain to parents during my interviews how important it is, for their children's sake, to hire someone who will be in it for the long haul. What some nannies and even some parents don't understand is that a sudden loss or change in caregivers can be a significant stressor for a child. When the child realizes that the attachment figure who was there to care for him when his parents were not able to can simply disappear, he may be more cautious in developing future relationships. My suggestion to both parents and nannies to prevent this from happening is to agree to work together for at least a year, if not more. This way it gives both the child and the nanny or au pair enough time to form a substantial bond, as well as the opportunity for them to create lasting memories together that the child will be able to draw upon once the caregiver is not an active part of his daily life.
Although I have addressed how difficult it can be for the children when a nanny has to leave her position with their family, it is also critical to note that this can be a very hard time for the adults involved as well. While I have been fortunate that all of my nanny positions have been for at least two years or more, I still see this career as being somewhat of a catch-22. Much like the children, I have become attached to and very fond of each and every child I have had the pleasure of caring for throughout the past nine years. It has been of the utmost importance for me to build both a nurturing and trusting relationship with them while also being mindful that all of these positions will eventually have an expiration date connected to them. When the time does come for this healthy codependent relationship to end, know that there are many fun and creative things you can do to help both the children and parents (and yourself) move forward once your position with them ends. Below are a few of my suggestions.
Create a photo album. Gather a few pictures that you have of the children and yourself together (take some if you don't have any), and put them in a photo album for the children to always remember you by.
Create lasting memories. I have always made it a point to plan some sort of fun outing to do with the children I have cared for on my last day with the family. (Be sure to clear this with both mom and dad bosses.) This can be as simple as taking the children out to get ice cream or as elaborate as taking them to a local theme park for a day filled with fun food and rides.
Set up a future visit. If you live nearby, ask the parents if they wouldn't mind setting up a time in the near future for you to come by and visit with the children. Not only will this help to alleviate the children's temporary heartbreak of losing you as their nanny, but it will also give them something to look forward to. I have had the opportunity to go back and visit all of my previous charges and their parents and have also been lucky enough to babysit for each and every one of them on occasion!
In closing, I hope that I have given you a bit of insight about how important your role as a nanny or au pair is in the lives of the children you care for everyday, and how you can help to ease the transition when it is time for you to say your goodbyes. Always remember that your job is one of the most influential ones out there, and to take pride in the impact you are having on today's future generation!
"A nanny shapes our children, in ways we will never know…they challenge and inspire them and prepare them as they grow." –Anonymous

She is one of the most promising up-and-coming young actors Saskatchewan's southeast has to offer, but it's a wonder if she'll ever land a role playing a character of a matching sex.

Another sure sign of spring? How about the annual re-opening of the Estevan Tourist Information Centre? That's what happened on Friday, May 17 when the centre was given an official launch, even though its doors had been unofficially open to greet visitors a few days earlier.

Scouting Orlando City
Orlando City and Tampa Bay will meet for the first time this Saturday, in a prelude to the I-4 Derby that will take place in March. The Lions, who currently play in third division USL Pro, are coming off a regular season title having finishing with a record of 17-6-1 (W-T-L). The first-place finish earned Orlando City their second consecutive regular season title, but they would go on to lose in the playoffs to the Wilmington Hammerheads in the semifinal match 4-3.
Adrian Heath has been at the helm of Orlando City since the 2011 inaugural season, where they won the regular season title and the league championship. The Lions play a traditional 4-4-2, led by the 2012 USL Pro leading scorer forward Dennis Chin. The Oviedo native scored 11 goals in 24 matches, becoming the largest offensive threat in the league.
Goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo captains the Lions, finishing the 2012 season with a league-leading goals-against average of .780. Gallardo was the 2011 USL PRO Goalkeeper of the Year, leading the league with with 11 clean sheets during the regular season. Orlando City has added to their attack for the 2013 season by signing forward Long Tan. The Chinese native is no stranger to the Rowdies, as he played for Tampa Bay in the 2010 inaugural season. Tan went on to suit up for the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2011 and D.C. United in 2012, before returning to Florida.
Orlando City closed out group play last Saturday losing to the Columbus Crew 3-2. Crew's Federico Higuain assisted midfielder Agustin Viana to put Columbus up 1-0 early in the first half. Orlando would equalize in the 57th minute, when midfielder Jamie Watson's finish made it 1-1. Columbus went ahead 2-1 in the 74th minute, as Josh Williams was able to position himself on the corner kick, heading the ball into the back of the net. The Lions leveled the score just four minutes later with Brian Fekete's shot going in after bouncing off a Columbus defender. Crew's Higuain scored off a penalty kick in the last five minutes of play, giving Columbus the 3-2 lead.
Rowdies Notes
The Tampa Bay Rowdies lost 1-0 against Sporting Kansas City in the final group match of the Disney Pro Soccer Classic last Saturday. The lone goal came in the 76th minute from attacking midfielder Graham Zusi, who slotted the ball next to the right post. Rowdies goalkeeper Andrew Fontein was close to getting a touch on it, but Zusi's shot was well placed. Tampa Bay had a better performance than the first two matches, controlling Kansas City throughout most of the match.
The reigning NASL Champions signed 6-foot-2 forward Amani Walker on Thursday, adding an aerial threat to the Rowdies attack. He joins Tampa Bay after two successful years with the Minnesota Stars FC, leading the team last season with nine goals and five assists.
Rowdies Midfielder Stuart Campbell
"We haven't achieved the results we were expecting going into the Disney tournament. No one likes to lose three games in a row but we know having started preseason two weeks ago, our fitness level was not up to par with the MLS teams. With a couple more practices under our belt, we showed improvement against Sporting KC, controlling the match at certain points. Our match against Orlando will be just as tough and it will serve as a good test to see where we are as a team."

Tom Lea (1907-2001) was a genius of the twentieth century whose extraordinary gifts as a muralist, illustrator, war correspondent, portraitist, novelist, historian and easel painter brought fame to himself and to Texas.
Tom Lea's murals of the 1930s express the history and character of the Southwest on walls of public buildings from Washington, D.C. to Dallas, Texas, and are arguably the finest of the period. As an eye-witness artist correspondent for Life Magazine during World War II, Tom Lea traveled over 100,000 miles to record U.S. and Allied soldiers, sailors and airmen and their machines waging war worldwide. He wrote and illustrated bestselling novels—The Brave Bulls and The Wonderful Country—that were adapted into Hollywood movies, and a dozen other books about subjects as diverse as mountaineering in Wyoming, horse training in 16th century New Spain, and the history of the mammoth King Ranch. His paintings depict remote and exotic places from Ecuador to China, but primarily capture subjects found near his home on the border between Mexico and Texas.
Despite his accomplishments, Tom Lea was largely unknown outside Texas when he died on January 29, 2001. His work had taken him to every continent, but he always returned home to El Paso—to paint and to write near Mount Franklin—far from current fashions and art world trends. Tom Lea never sought the approval of a critic or the favor of a museum director, placing the majority of his paintings after World War II in the private collections of his personal friends.
Those friends have generously responded to efforts to preserve Tom Lea's work, establishing repositories at the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Texas at El Paso and the El Paso Museum of Art. Friends have now established the Tom Lea Institute, a not-for-profit corporation, to perpetuate his legacy through collaboration and education.

The Criminal Justice program will prepare you with a solid foundation to go on to an enormous variety of fields, fully confident in your preparation. Graduates have gone on to enter law school, work in education, police management, and a broad array of fields in the criminal justice system. Classes combine theory and lab so you can practice your skills as you go. Faculty are active practitioners in law, police work, security, and the justice system, and bring major cases ripped from the headlines into the classroom from their own professional experience. Learn from the people who actually do the work and lead in their fields.
Rosemont College's accelerated degree program in Criminal Justice prepares students to step into leadership roles in the fields of law enforcement, court administration, the judicial system, corrections, or private security, and lay the groundwork for graduate study or law school.
Taught by professionals in these fields, Rosemont's program brings up-to-the-minute trends, issues, and real-world applications into the classroom. Students aspiring to enter the fast-growing world of criminal justice and those already working in it bring their experiences to the classroom for lively discussion and problem-solving.

Whether you are completing your degree or starting a new one, Rosemont's accelerated evening, weekend, and online format is designed for your busy life. Classes meet once a week for five weeks, and are offered year-round. Some courses, like Crime Scene Investigation and White Collar Crime are offered in "turbo" format, and can be completed in one intense weekend. You can study on Rosemont's main campus, in our beautiful center city, Philadelphia location near City Hall, or online, or in a combination of these modes and locations to suit your work and personal life schedule.
When you enroll, the program director will work with you to create your Individual Plan of Study that will guide you to a degree that works for you. Rosemont also has a generous transfer policy which allows you to apply as many as 84 credits earned elsewhere to your Rosemont degree completion. When you enroll, be sure to ask about Prior Learning Assessment. With Prior Learning Assessment, you may be able to pay for one credit and receive three credits for college-level learning acquired through life and work experiences.
Criminal Justice at Rosemont is personalized, exciting, and the perfect way to advance your career and realize your potential. You will study in small classes with seasoned professionals who are also award-winning teachers, and side-by-side with working adults like you.

We have sessions starting every five weeks so you can start whenever you are ready.
We do accept transfer credits from other accredited institutions. We have a very liberal policy and can accept up to 84 transfer credits. Once we receive your official transcripts the program director will complete a degree audit which will indicate how many credits are awarded.
We offer 10 sessions per year, so if you take one class per session you will complete 30 credits per year. Our program is structured to allow the student the flexibility to increase or decrease the number of credits taken to meet their lifestyle.
Our program is designed to take those factors into account. When a student encounters a scheduling problem we allow the student to step-out of the program temporarily without penalty. Once the problem is solved they can re-enter.
We have a beautiful campus in suburban Philadelphia. We offer many opportunities to interact with graduate students and faculty in other programs, such as creative writing and English literature, and we regularly bring in industry professionals to speak to and meet with students.
Rosemont College School of Graduate Studies welcomes all students, without regard to race, religion, sex, national origin or handicapping conditions.

Students can usually earn up to 6 graduate credits before applying for matriculated status.
Applicants who have completed previous graduate work may, at the time they apply for admission, make a written request to transfer a maximum of two 3-credit courses. To be acceptable in transfer, course(s) may not have been previously applied toward a graduate degree and they must provide a good "match" for Rosemont program requirements. Courses may not have been undertaken more than 5 years prior to the request for transfer and the student must have earned at least a "B" (3.0). Pass/Fail courses are not eligible for transfer.
Course selection for the fall, spring, and summer sessions must be made in consultation with a program advisor, either in person or by email.

A limited number of competitive Graduate Assistantships are also available. Rosemont offers several tuition management options, so you can spread your payments out over the course of your program.
Because students may elect to undertake graduate study on a full-time or part-time basis, the number of semesters required to complete all program requirements will vary.

Wildlife Viewing Map
From mid-June through mid-September the Orient Mine, a designated Natural Area in the Colorado Natural Areas Program, is the summer home of the northernmost and largest bachelor colony of Mexican free–tailed bats known in North America. Every night, these bats head out at sunset in search of up to 6,000 pounds of insects and put on a spectacular display in the process. During the emergence, bats can be seen stretching south down the valley like a river.
To see the bats, visitors must make an hour-long trek to the mine, starting at Valley View Hot Springs. If you can handle the 700 feet of elevation gain, the hike and bat viewing are available for free; there is a charge only if you choose to use the hot springs facilities.
Call the Orient Land Trust at (719) 256-4315 to make sure the bats are there when you are planning to visit. More information is also available on Orient Land Trust website.
