On August 20, I began my first day as an intern at Brown-Forman. The Human Resources lady, Sue, walked me and another new-hire around campus, showing us the different buildings and taking us to get our Brown-Forman IDs made. I didn't even realize that Brown-Forman existed beyond the building in which my interview was held, so I was a little overwhelmed at first.
In following with this edition of The Concord and its focus on bringing attention to Bellarmine students studying abroad, I've decided to pursue this idea of Bellarmine becoming a global brand and what this means for the students who both come here from other countries and those Bellarmine students who study abroad.
A weekend in D.C. proved to be a monumental affair for several GLASS members over fall break. The nine hour drive was undertaken by Ari Ballaban, Jarrod Straitt, Emily Simpson, and myself. Another member, Josh Miller, rode to our nation's capital with the Fairness Campaign, Kentucky's largest GLBT legal advocacy group.

It focuses on supporting its members by helping develop personal growth and academic achievement that will provide a foundation for success.

Insisting on sleeping with a night light on at the age of nineteen quite frankly may agree with the fantastical Peter Pan theory of never wanting to grow up. But, after countless nights of wishing I had a clap on, clap off light so I could avoid the risky run to my bed after I switched my overhead light off, and then tucking myself into bed with blankets at chins reach, I am not afraid to admit my secret. I have my reasons; scary movies still frighten the living daylights out of me.
The Bellarmine Historical Society (BHS) has had a strong start to the school year. BHS was a popular club in the 1990's, but seemed to fall off track somewhere along the way. The new leaders, comprised entirely of juniors under the advisement of history professor Dr. Eric Roorda, have many great activities planned for the upcoming semester.
Applied Information Technology (AIT), a program previously only offered at Bellarmine as a Masters program, is now available for students wishing to earn a Bachelors Degree.

Michael Buble returns with his new album, Crazy Love. He's most known as the next Frank Sinatra and a relative to Harry Connick Jr. His voice never fails to impress men and women with his jazzy interpretations of classic songs such as "Georgia on My Mind" and "Cry Me a River." that are important for starting their own business.
On Oct. 2, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) gave Rio de Janeiro the right to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Why study abroad? This question might be the beginning of every application process, or prevent many students from filling out the form in the International Programs Office. And even if this is a very important question, I think there are way more important questions to ask. How could I benefit from it? Is it worth doing it? Can I manage this huge step?
As a post-graduate pre-med student with a BA in languages, I'm faced with a lot of educating. We all are, I know. But a Liberal Arts education is utterly incomplete without a thorough examination and true understanding of the world around us.
