To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. (Rev. 1:5-6)
Our summer term officially started this week, and it has been wonderful to meet and interact with students, new and current (even a few alumni!) as they commence a 9-week study plan. We are also welcoming those beginning two cohort-based graduate certificates: one in Agricultural Development and another in Translation Consulting.
You might be wondering what these two programs have in common besides beginning in June. Great question! Both utilize a unique “year-term” created for non-traditional class instruction. It runs from June through April. The year-term provides the needed seasonal changes for our agricultural students located on an experimental farm in North Fort Myers, FL. This is the third cohort of students (in partnership with ECHO) studying sustainable farming methods while combining their learning with anthropology courses with Dallas-based instructors.
The Translation Consulting program utilizes the same year-term period in order for students to study while in a field mentorship somewhere around the world. This experience-based curriculum combines workshops and practicums, online learning as well as face-to-face gatherings as students move through a 2 ½ year academic program. They will achieve most of the competencies required for certification as consultants by the time they finish.
This Saturday, DIU will be on the golf course for its first ever Nations’ Cup tournament at Thorntree Golf Club in DeSoto, TX. This will be great time of supporting the University and enjoying some recreation together. To our sponsors, staff and volunteers, thank you so much for all your hard work!
Paz,
Scott
