Prior to 200 years ago, information was carried in books or basic writings. Books were more of a rare commodity than an everyday item. The bestselling and most distributed book of all time is the Holy Bible which is what most people kept if they had any book at all.

Our academic term is in full swing here at Beckfield College and both of our campuses in Greater Cincinnati are humming busily with new students, returning students, and faculty and staff helping them all.  It’s an exhilarating time to be the president of a school.  Although we’ve been doing this for more than twenty-five years, we are constantly changing and evolving to meet the student and community needs. 

As we start the fall 2011 nursing programs at Beckfield College the new round of students sitting in the classrooms are definitely a different composition than we have ever seen before.

As the healthcare career field continues to grow, the increasing job opportunities for Coding and Billing Specialists, Medical Assistants, Licensed Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses and Registered Nurses with their Bachelor’s Degree are especially on the rise.

With today’s usage of many wireless devices I have often wondered what the overall effect would be to the human population. With cordless and wireless technologies, we are putting these devices right in or around our ears. Technology is a wonderful gift to mankind but in the words of Ian Malcolm from the first Jurassic Park movie “just because they could doesn’t mean that they should.”  The idea that we can create a technology does not mean that we would necessarily have to engage it into the public as fast as possible.

Congratulations to all of the graduates of Beckfield College.  Our commencement ceremony this month was an inspiration to everyone!  We were with you every step of the way through your studies, and we are still here to prepare you for interviews and help you get that career started!

Thank you to our students, graduates, faculty and staff for their thoughtful, compassionate and constant remembrances of Pete Minor.  This weekend's dedication will be a wonderful tribute a man whose loss is felt daily. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us.   More details on this event here. 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook 2010-2011 Edition, projected employment within the field of Criminal Justice is expected to grow through 2018. Criminal justice employment opportunities are most favorable to candidates that possess certain requirements that are expected for the position. A well-constructed resume offers prospective employers a chance to learn who the candidate is and what that candidate has to offer. It is important to create a resume that can showcase attributes which the employer is specifically looking for in order to fill the position and ensure employment over other candidates.

Beckfield College is a local postsecondary educational option, serving the needs of Greater Cincinnati students and the community. We have been offering personalized academic excellence for more than 25 years. What makes our school so successful or appealing? What makes students choose our college? I believe the answer is our people.  

In 1967, when the Beatles released this tune, little did they know that 79 million Americans would be turning 64 in the years 2010 to 2030.  When this song hit the airwaves, the Baby Boom had ended.  After World War II (1945), servicemen returned home and started families. Between the years 1946 and 1964, more babies were born in the United States than in any other recorded period of time. History has called it the Baby Boom.
