Major Highlight: Management Information Systems (MIS)

Hi everyone! My name is Nina McKee, and I am friends with the girls at Friends at the Woods. I am excited to be writing this guest post for December! I am a junior and a Management InformationSystems (MIS) Major at William Woods University. MIS is a lot like Information Technology (IT) with a business component.

SWAT

              

  Last semester, I joined the WWU Student Website Advancement Team (SWAT). This is a student-run business on campus that helps businesses create, update, or improve their websites. It is an awesome club which has been helping me improve my technology skills and make new connections both on and off campus!

International Travel

International Travel is different, at least it is to me. So far in my life that is all I have done, I’ve never flown just within the states. Last year as some of you might know I went to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands during our Spring Break and this month I am prepping to leave for Belize at the end of December, so forth I decided to write this on international travel, so here we begin.

I'm not a horse person but I sure have learned a lot!

Going to school here at William Woods it is impossible to not know someone who is in the equestrian program. It effects everyone here and even if you aren’t in the program you end up learning quite a bit about horses, the barn and the whole nine yards. Jennah and Morgan are both EQS majors and Aly is an EQS minor. Megan is neither a major or minor but she has been around horses before and rides sometimes when she is at home. So that leaves me, Lacey, the only person in the group who does not have a horse background. And so, I am writing a post about a non-equestrian person’s perspective into the program.

Celebrate the Holidays with us...Thanksgiving 2017

Hi friends, this past weekend was thanksgiving and in my family this means a lot of

parties and turkey, lots and lots of turkey. I have two days of parties that I went to for thanksgiving because my family is so big.

Planning a Quidditch Tournament at William Woods University

Hope all is well and that your Thanksgiving was great! Today you’ll get the great opportunity to see why I have pulled my hair out. I’m fully kidding. As you all might know, I am the team manager of our Quidditch team here at William Woods University. For about the past couple of months I have been organizing an Quidditch Tournament on March 24^th, free to the public. So here we go on the broom ride.

A Major Highlight into the Biology Pre-Vet Program

Hey everyone! This week we had a friend of ours write a post on Her major. Her name is Kira, you might remember her from our hiking post from last year or her post on Having and Quitting a Job. She went to Freshman Advantage (the summer program here at WWU) with Megan, Aly, and I. She is a sophomore in the Honor's Program who is majoring in Biology/Pre-Vet.

  BIOLOGY PRE-VET  

             I am majoring in biology with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine. I have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was little because I love animals and there have been many instances where the animals in my life have needed medical help.

How I Train My Horse

Hello, friends!

Now I know that I talk a lot about my horses but…I’m about to do it again haha. I know that most of you know from many of the other posts from my fellow blogger friends that doing other things while college is going on is hard. However, trying to train your one year old horse, who you all know is my beautiful boy Star, is difficult.

Why I Go Home on the Weekends

Hello, friends I don’t know if you guys know, but this semester I am taking class Monday though Thursday and I don’t have any class on Friday. Every weekend I go home and my roommates hate this because they like to hang out all together in our room or go out and do something together but I am never there. There are a few reasons that that I do this.

My Trip to Kentucky...Day 4

Sunday October 15th 2017

 

                Sunday morning we woke up and once again had to be ready to leave at 9:00 AM, this time with all of our stuff packed up so we could check out of the hotel. We loaded everything into the vans and headed to church. The interpreter found a church which had Deaf Sunday school about 30 min from the hotel and not too incredibly far from the Ark Encounter. When we arrived she looked at me and told me I would be interpreting Sunday School, and she meant it, kind of.
