The MA in Applied Linguistics and ELT programme at St Mary's has been running for more than 25 years and has helped develop the careers of hundreds of professionals in language teaching, management, publishing and research.
The Applied Linguistics MA is designed primarily for teachers of English and of other modern languages who are interested in extending their knowledge of language and language teaching.
It provides participants with the opportunity to explore developments in applied linguistics and language teaching in the light of their own practical expertise and knowledge.
Why St Mary's?
This is a course with committed lecturers engaging with small groups, usually no more than 10-15 in each year. Compared to many other MA programmes in the UK this is a very low number and we have deliberately kept it small in order to keep the quality of our teaching high. We know all our students by name, and are able to give them a lot of individual attention and support.
We examine not only the subject of teaching, but also the nature of language from diverse theoretical, social and cognitive perspectives.
The content is demanding, but support is also strong. The rewards for students is great, both in how they learn to think about language and in their careers.
A Student View
"This Master's programme is an excellent educational experience. It is really fascinating and challenging and has enriched my life considerably. It has boosted my professional career, enhanced my self-esteem and helped me to become a critical thinker. The lecturers are very enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable in their fields; they are friendly and approachable and help you wherever they can."
Course Content
Students following the MA Programme have to complete six taught modules. In the full-time programme, three modules are taught per semester over one academic year. In the part-time programme in Berlin, three modules are taught in each of the two years.
The modules offered are likely to be:
› Language Theory
› English Language Description
› ELT Syllabus Design and Methodology
› Language Acquisition
› Sociolinguistics
› ELT Teacher Development and Management
› Research Methods and Dissertation
Please note: All information is correct at the time of publication. However, course content is regularly updated and this may result in some changes, which will be communicated to students before their programme begins.
Teaching and Assessment
To qualify for the MA you will need to be awarded 180 credits. There are six essays to complete, one for each module, and each worth 20 credits. The dissertation is worth 60 credits. The pass mark is 50%. Marks between 60% and 69% are in the merit category; marks over 70% are in the distinction category.
You will usually be taught in seminar groups of no more than 15 students. Small classes facilitate lively discussion and the forging of close and supportive academic relationships between students.
Full-time students attend three 2-hour seminars per week, currently timetabled for Thursdays and Fridays. In the Autumn semester, there is an additional Academic Orientation module that runs for six weeks. In the Spring semester there is an additional Research Methods module that runs for ten weeks.
We encourage an open and friendly relationship between students and staff. Students should feel free to make tutorial appointments with tutors, who are always happy to meet with them.

The MA in Biblical Studies offers excellent scholars who will help you learn, think and reflect about interpreting the Bible in today's world. You will engage with Scripture in its ancient and modern contexts, by reading the texts in conversation with high-quality scholarship and in relation to a wide range of issues.
This MA is suitable for many kinds of people:
- the MA will prepare you well for doctoral study in Biblical Studies, and includes opportunities to engage with biblical texts in the original languages, or to learn one of the languages which you have not previously studied
- if you serve in Christian or Jewish leadership, the MA will deepen and strengthen your engagement with Scripture in your preaching, teaching and ministry
-the MA is open to you if you have completed suitable prior theological study, to enable you to grow in understanding, reflection and thoughtful engagement with the Bible.
You can focus your MA in different ways through your choice of options and your dissertation topic. In your dissertation you will dig deep into a topic of your choice with the supervision and support of one of our team of outstanding biblical scholars.
Why St Mary's?
Whilst studying the MA in Biblical Studies at St Mary's you will:
- learn from our team of world-class biblical scholars who bring their own research into the classroom
- grow in skills and understanding through first-hand engagement with the Bible in our text-focused modules
- reflect on how others read the Bible in relation to a wide range of issues today, in society, politics, and in faith communities
- have chance to study with fine visiting scholars from elsewhere in the world, who will offer 'intensive' modules focused in a two-week period on their specialism
- be part of a university committed to treating Scripture seriously as part of its mission to serve faith communities
- have access to a good library, including electronic access to many books and journals

All modules can be seen on our website:
Career opportunities
The MA will enhance employability in a number of roles where advanced skills in interpreting the Bible, and reflecting critically on such interpretation, are key elements, including:
- school teaching
-work with Christian or Jewish charities and agencies, including churches and synagogues
-educational roles with Christian and Jewish communities
-pastoral ministry in church or synagogue; senior leadership within churches and the Jewish community regionally, nationally and internationally
In addition, the MA is designed to lead naturally into doctoral study and the opportunities which such study provides.
The programme will also provide an education which sensitises students to engaging with religious texts from other times, cultures and places, and thus will equip them for work engaging with cross-cultural situations, such as NGOs in the UK and overseas, international relations, and the Civil Service in both the Home and Foreign Offices.
The Careers Service has more information on graduate careers and part-time work available during your course.

Bioethics and Medical Law - MA
St Mary's University, Twickenham
Education, Theology and Leadership
Individuals and institutions in healthcare are increasingly called to account for their decisions. Bioethics is relevant to all our lives.
Read more
Individuals and institutions in healthcare are increasingly called to account for their decisions.
Bioethics is relevant to all our lives. Even if we never work in healthcare it touches us when we are most vulnerable - when we or those we care for are unwell.
Whether assisted dying, stem cell therapies or three-parent IVF, bioethics is also often in the news and having a greater understanding of the issues involved can enable more in-depth public engagement.
Reflection on the ethical principles that underlie medical and allied practice is an important part of continuing career development for healthcare professionals. Almost every day, it seems some new ethical dilemma appears in the news; whether to do with stem cell research, assisted suicide, resource allocation, nanotechnologies, human cloning or health and climate change.
Why St Mary's?
It is often said, "bioethics is moral philosophy done badly".
At St Mary's our multidisciplinary team of ethics experts with backgrounds in law, medicine, philosophy and theology ensure that every student has a chance to gain a thorough understanding of the grounding of ethical principles and their application.
The success of our students - in completing PhDs, getting papers published and advancing their careers in biomedical ethics and related fields - bears out the effectiveness of this approach.
Course Content
All modules for this degree can be found on our website:
Career Prospects
Our students find the course not only interesting in itself, but also a unique distinguishing asset when applying for jobs in medicine, nursing and allied health care professions as well as in education and law.
The study of a contemporary and universally relevant subject such as medical ethics and law is an excellent preparation for any profession that requires graduates with high levels of human understanding, critical skills and knowledge of current affairs.
Institutions are increasingly being called to account for their decisions and procedures, and reflection on the ethical principles that underlie practice is an important part of continuing professional development for healthcare professionals. An MA in Bioethics and Medical Law is therefore a very flexible and useful qualification to have.
The MA also provides strong foundation for those wishing to pursue further postgraduate research at PhD level. Previous MA graduates have gone on to study for doctorates at St Mary's and other universities in the UK and internationally. Several past students are currently on the national bioethics bodies for their home countries.

Catholic School Leadership - MA
St Mary's University, Twickenham
Education, Theology and Leadership
This highly regarded postgraduate degree will be of interest to all who hold or are aiming for leadership positions in Catholic schools and colleges.
Read more
This highly regarded postgraduate degree will be of interest to all who hold or are aiming for leadership positions in Catholic schools and colleges.
About one-third of the 150-plus students are senior leaders - headteachers and college principals; deputies and assistant heads. The other two-thirds are subject or pastoral leaders, primary curriculum coordinators, classroom leaders or aspiring school leaders.
All are welcome and will enjoy participating. Securing quality leaders committed to modelling leadership on Christ constitutes one of the key challenges for Catholic and indeed all Christian schools.
This course aims to promote a vision that sees the maintenance of a balance between school improvement and Catholic distinctiveness as a feature of the mission of schools and colleges.
Why St Mary's?
Several students have cited the flexibility of this degree as a particular advantage since it is possible to complete the programme within one to five years.
The variety of modes of delivery, including blended and full-distance, also makes the programme especially attractive. The combination of personalised learning and tutorial support - together with the excellent reading materials and online resources - is noted by students as distinctive.
The course helps students understand the core aims and values of a Catholic school while encouraging them to reflect upon the reality of practice within their schools.
Course Content
The aim is to provide a vocationally oriented programme of academic rigour, which enables students to integrate a Catholic philosophy of education with the principles and practice of school leadership. Students should, as a result of following the course, demonstrate greater confidence and competence in articulating and implementing the principal features of Catholic education in their work, and it will provide students with the theological literacy welcomed by appointing bodies.
The modules for the Catholic School Leadership: Principles and Practice have been constructed to ensure that they are relevant to school and college leaders at all levels and in all phases of Catholic education.
The modular course allows students to build credits towards the 60 required for a Postgraduate Certificate, the 120 required for a Postgraduate Diploma or the 180 required for the full MA.
The five modules studied are as follows:
1. Catholic Education
2. Leadership and Management
3. Spiritual and Theological Foundations
4. Leadership and Learning
5. Research Methods and Dissertation
Each of the first four 30 credit modules contains two strands to ensure that principles and practice are addressed in each module.
Please note: All information is correct at the time of publication. However, course content is regularly updated and this may result in some changes, which will be communicated to students before their programme begins.
Career Prospects
The MA in Catholic School Leadership: Principles and Practice is the only postgraduate course of study available in the UK that specifically supports the distinctive leadership development needs of leaders and aspiring leaders at all levels and within all phases of Catholic education. NPQH is no longer a requirement for headship, so aspiring headteachers will find that this course offers the ideal alternative qualification.

Our Creative Writing: First Novel Master's degree works with a very small cohort. This means you'll receive one-to-one tuition on a far more regular basis compared to many other Creative Writing postgraduate courses.
Here, you will be personally guided through the journey of your first draft, rather than being another student at the back of a large class. No short stories, no poetry, no screenplay, just your novel.
Your novel deserves a tutor that understands all - not just some of its parts - and you deserve a tutor who will coach not just the first draft of your novel, but also the development of your creative process.
Why St Mary's?
Our tutors are practising writers, and have between them written best-selling novels and won major literary awards. Drawing on our connections with the industry you'll also have seminars with some of the most sought-after agents and publishers in London.
When you have finished the degree, you can choose to continue workshopping and drafting with the dedicated cohorts we establish every year. We are passionate about our craft and about your craft too. That's why our first PhD student in Creative Writing struck a major two-book deal with Canongate and sales in multiple foreign territories.
Current students are receiving visits from high profile industry experts from the publishing world throughout this semester. These include visits, Q&As and masterclasses from Conville and Walsh, Canongate, Bookouture, Janklow and Nesbit, Little Brown, Corsair and Atom and Picador, and pitching opportunities to top agents and publishers: Hellie Ogden, Jo Unwin, Francesca Main, James Gurbutt, Natalie Butlin, Jessie Botterill, Sophie Lambert
We want to hear about your novel – the one you know you have to write. Pick up the phone or email the Programme Director:
[email protected]
or call 020 8240 4380.
Course Content
A full list of modules is available on our website:
Each module produces a creative element of your draft which will be assessed. In the seminar modules, you will also be assessed by presentation to the group.
One-to-one tutorial feedback and support is essential for the writer aiming to complete a productive draft in just one year.
In formal assessment, each module will produce a mixture of creative submission to deadline, workshop engagement, critical reflection and seminar presentation. The weight of marking always rests with creative submission and the aim is to complete a draft of a novel through continuous assessment.

This is a truly interdisciplinary programme on which you will benefit from the expertise of historians, literary critics, art critics, film theorists and ethnographers.
Why has the 'Gothic' been so prevalent in the fields of literature, art, architecture, film and music in the past 250 years? What does this tell us about ourselves, and the society in which we live? How has the genre changed, and how is it possible for us to define our identities within, and in relation to, the Gothic?
These are some of the questions you will be invited to consider on this course, which gives you the opportunity to study the fascinating subject of Gothic culture, in all its many forms, where it all began: on the site of Horace Walpole's Gothic mansion in Strawberry Hill, South West London.
You will also be trained at postgraduate level in the research methods of these disciplines, preparing you for advanced study in the humanities disciplines.
Why St Mary's?
Students on this course have on-site access to the historic Gothic castle at Strawberry Hill, the birthplace of Gothic fiction and architecture.
There is also the unique resource of the Strawberry Hill Library, with collections relating to Horace Walpole, and to Gothic culture in general.
Taught by experts in the fields of literature, film, cultural studies, art and architecture, the course will encourage you to read and reflect on the tradition that starts with Horace Walpole and ends - for the time being - with True Blood and the Twilight saga.

St Mary's University, Twickenham
Arts & Humanities
This Master's programme provides an advanced critical insight into current developments in the study of migration, organised crime and human trafficking.
Read more
This Master's programme provides an advanced critical insight into current developments in the study of migration, organised crime and human trafficking. It's one of few programmes worldwide to offer you the chance to study the main characteristics of modern forms of slavery, their causes/roots, impacts, and ways (legal and others) of fighting/preventing them.
The degree is unique in examining, in an interdisciplinary manner, the intersection between human trafficking and migratory flows, and forced labour, and organised crime.
The programme combines vocational and theoretical components. You'll study the social conditions in which human trafficking occurs, including wealth, social and gender inequalities; migration due to political instability, war and poverty; and the role of criminal gangs and organised crime groups in the proliferation of this crime in recent years. The modus operandi of traffickers and their networks will be explored as will the challenges raised by the role in family members and communities in this increasingly complex issue.
You'll also engage critically with existing legal frameworks and policing in place to combat human trafficking. The degree also offers te chance to examine different discourses used to analyse the issue including debates about terminology, media representations, effectiveness of anti-trafficking policies and the efficacy of rescue and rehabilitation programmes.
Why St Mary's?
The MA programme is part of a wider commitment to addressing modern slavery and human trafficking through the work of the Centre for the Study of Modern Slavery, established at St Mary's in 2015. The Centre was founded to develop an evidence based response to addressing the current intensification of human trafficking and slavery cases globally. It is part of the Santa Marta Group and has links to many external partners including Kevin Hyland, the UK's first Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner and Visiting Professor at St Mary's University, policy makers, police, other academic institutions, safe houses, campaigners, international organizations and NGOs. Students on the MA in Human Trafficking, Migration and Organised Crime will have access to the resources of the centre, including cutting edge research and lectures by high profile experts in the field.
An inaugural conference, which took place in February 2017, was the first of an annual event, organised by the Centre for the Study of Modern Slavery. With the aim of using research to fill the knowledge and evidence gaps experienced by policymakers and practitioners, the conference provides a space to promote debate and encourage collaboration on addressing the subject of human trafficking and modern slavery, with contributions from UK and international experts. Discussions between policymakers, practitioners and researchers will identify evidence gaps and tailor research to these needs. All MA students will be encouraged to engage with and contribute to future conferences and may choose to evaluate the experience and learning as part of their assessed work.
Course Content
All modules are listed on the St Mary's website:
Career Prospects
This course will interest students who wish to pursue careers in the voluntary sector (in organisations that work with migrants and people who have been trafficked), in the public sector dealing with crime control and criminal justice, in law and human rights, and in campaigning and media. It will also appeal to people employed in professional and third sector organisations, such as police, health professionals, social workers and frontline support workers as part of their continuing professional development.
It will provide a critical and methodological platform for students who aim to extend their studies to doctoral level. And it will appeal to students who want to investigate the historical, social and cultural factors that contribute to the intersection of criminal justice, human trafficking and migration.

The Public History degree looks at how historical knowledge is produced, mediated and consumed in public spaces beyond the formal education sector.
Why study Public History?
Most people's sense of the past comes from public history, through film and television, fiction, museums, heritage sites and memory work.
This course looks at the kinds of pasts that are produced in these popular forms. It examines how they are made and the ways in which they are consumed and understood.
As part of your study you will be able to gain practical experience of working in a cultural heritage site, museum, gallery or archive.
The degree will help to prepare you for a career in public history related fields. It will also show you why the uses we make of the past are not just matters of academic interest.
Why St Mary's?
This is the only degree in the UK that is taught in partnership with The National Archives, which is a leading national and international site not just for archiving government documents, but also for engaging with the past in other forms.
You will attend workshops at The National Archives, delivered by their highly experienced staff and drawing on their wealth of original materials.
With the St Mary's campus located in South-West London, we also have excellent opportunities for field visits, and unrivalled links for volunteering and work experience with Hampton Court Palace, Strawberry Hill House, Turner's House, Sir John Soane Museum and Orleans House Gallery.
The degree is taught by historians with a strong record of publication and high-quality teaching.

You will write essays, produce project work, critique different types of source material, and learn to create work using a variety of digital tools. You will also design and deliver presentations about your work. In order to complete the MA, you will produce an extended, independent research project. This will either be a project based on your work placement or a text-based piece of academic research.
This course is designed to help you find a career in fields such as cultural heritage, archives, education and media. It can be used as part of your professional development if you are already employed in these sectors.

Student Story
Emma Paton, Graduated in 2012
Emma is currently a sub-editor and digital reporter at Sky Sports News HQ. Emma recently presented 'behind the scenes' coverage on one of SSN's busiest dates - Transfer Deadline Day. Her role as a sub-editor sees her help produce Good Morning Sports Fans - the 6-10am slot on SSN.
During her MA she did various work placements including an internship on the news desk at the British Olympic Association during London 2012 – which St Mary's put her forward for.
On finishing her Masters, Emma's first and only interview was at Sky Sports News – where she started as an online journalist for skysports.com and later moved to production.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at St Mary's and it's safe to say I wouldn't be in my dream job without the course."

The MA in Theatre Directing run in collaboration with the multi-award winning Orange Tree Theatre is designed to explore the art and techniques of theatre directing within the context of contemporary theatre making.
The MA in Theatre Directing is predominantly housed at The Orange Tree in Richmond, enabling students to embed their practice in the working life of this award-winning theatre. Modules are taught by both academics and theatre directors with the assistance of professional actors in the practical classes.
The programme is both academic and vocational. It aims to provide an advanced understanding of theatre production processes within a context of both contemporary theatre making and the dramatic tradition. It further aims to develop students' craft skills and technical abilities in order to prepare them for a career in theatre directing.
The programme is aimed both at graduates who wish to advance their understanding of theatre practice in order to develop their work to a professional standard and at theatre professionals who wish to formalise their experience with a course of study and a qualification.
Why St Mary's?
Directing workshops explore rehearsal techniques, script analysis, performance, design and technical aspects of production. A key module focuses on directing as a career. There is a particular emphasis on the study of the working relationship between the director and the performer.
At the end of the course students present a showcase production at the Orange Tree, or another London fringe theatre. Study is over one year full-time or two years part-time.
Previous graduates have found assistant and associate directing work with all of the major companies, including the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, Out of Joint and the Royal Court.
The Drama department has three fully equipped studios and a large theatre for rehearsal purposes. Technical and administrative staff support the programme throughout the year and students are provided with a production budget for their end-of-year production.

New owner = new menu at John Hawks Pub
Brian Ward is firmly established as a Downtown beef baron. His Ward's House of Prime restaurant has received national attention as a midwestern Mecca of red meat.
Bobby Bell spent 40 years building John Hawks Pub into a Downtown institution, first a few steps below the sidewalk at 607 N. Broadway and since 1990 in the office tower on the northwest corner of Water and Wisconsin. When Bell decided to sell Hawks last year, Ward grabbed the opportunity to buy.
"It's a Milwaukee icon," he explains. "It got a little beat up – in food and service – but what Bobby built deserves to be respected and continued."
The deal closed last fall, with Bell maintaining ties to the business as a consultant. Ward went to work overhauling Hawks' menu and making a few interior changes to the bar and restaurant, which overlooks the Milwaukee River.
The freshened ambiance includes more booths and fewer tables, giving customers greater privacy. That facilitates business lunches, a niche the new owner is aggressively pursuing.
Interior wood has been stained a darker color, providing more of an English pub look, and high tables are now clustered near the bar. Arcade games have been added to a room at the north end of the space.
John Hawks Pub seats 200 indoors and 130 on its popular river-view patio.
The big changes are seen in the food and bar menu. A distinct English accent now emanates from the kitchen.
Appetizers include seasoned potato wedges tossed in an English-style curry sauce and served with a side of curried ketchup for $5.49, and Scotch eggs – two hard-boiled eggs wrapped in seasoned pork sausage, accompanied by stone-ground mustard, priced at $7.49.
Entrees now include English-style pot roast ($13.99), a ground beef shepard's pie ($12.49) and English curry with veggies ($9.99) or chicken ($12.99) served over rice or English chips. Fish and chips are available in two portion sizes for $9.99 and $12.99.
Your taste buds don't have to salute the queen to eat at Hawks. Variety rules. "We have a lot more comfort food on the menu now," Ward says.
For example, the pub offers loaded potato skins ($8.99), jumbo wings ($8.49), chicken and dumpling soup ($2.99 and $4.99), a pot roast sandwich with mashed potatoes smothered in gravy ($8.49), a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato ($6.99) and chicken pot pie ($10.49).
Ward is especially proud of the corned beef he serves at Hawks. It can be sampled in reuben rolls ($7.49) a reuben sandwich ($9.99), and on a specialty burger that combines a third-pound Angus beef patty and fried egg with corned beef ($12.99).
Prime rib from Ward's House of Prime makes an appearance on the menu in a sandwich ($10.49). It is thinly sliced and piled on a toasted hoagie roll with mushrooms, onions and provolone cheese, accompanied by au jus.
All burgers and sandwiches come with a single choice of sides that includes kettle chips, seasoned fries, cole slaw, potato salad, cottage cheese and rice pilaf.
Several entree salads, soups and chili are also available. A full rack of baby back ribs, priced at $19.99, is the most expensive menu item.
Ward intends Hawks to be among Downtown's premier destinations for craft beer. Nine taps feature Milwaukee Brewing Co. products, and a selection of 80 bottle beers is offered.
With its proximity to the Riverside Theatre, Pabst Theater, Marcus Center and the Milwaukee Rep, the pub is targeting show-goers for pre-curtain dinner and post-curtain drink specials. Customers who arrive after 5 p.m. can park for free for the evening in the garage in the John Hawks building. The restaurant will validate the parking stub.
"We promise consistent quality and speed," Ward says. "We will get you in and out, on time for your show."

If minotaur were sophisticated, he would know that a seller of a business often includes a "consultant" position for himself as part of the deal. There can be tax advantages.

@ minotaur...your assumptions and accusations are pretty bold, considering it sounds like you haven't been there in awhile (or ever?). I have been there several times in the last few months, and i assure you, the quality of food, service, and ambience are far superior to what they were in the past. And there is certainly no "reuse of straws" going on. Perhaps you should see for yourself, rather than posting a comment with opinions based solely upon the experience of someone else.

Can't do it, won't do it. The article sure sounds nice, but I'll go with the recommendation of someone who actually ate there instead of doing a five minute conversation and cut/paste from a menu. I saw way too many issues in the quality of food, quality of service, and downright embarrassing actions committed by the owner (excluding Mr. Ward, who's been a pretty stand up guy) and some of the management staff he's employed. Knowing Bobby Bell still has a hand in this place is more cause for concern than the water in front of the river-side seating. Hope he's past the days of reusing the straws at the bar.

brewcitypaul. Are you refering to Malt Vinegar? That's a common addition to fish and chips. The brown sauce that you are referring to is probably HP Sauce or even Daddy's (if memory serves correct) though I havent heard of putting HP on fish and chips. HP is availbale here in milwaukee. That said I am liking what I am reading in this article. I could go for a scotchegg or 5. I'll have to hit them up again next time i venture out to dine!

I'm curious if they have Brown Sauce for fish & chips. Can't find that stuff anywhere. But it's the best and it's the only stuff they use in the UK.

Anyone Coding in the Boston, MA area?
I would gladly pay if someone could help me out. Mostly interested in killing ASS but would be open to anything else the coder deems as cool. i.e. blinkers on HUD, etc.
No need to pay to get rid of ASS. Simply tell your SA at your next service visit that you want the ASS to be recoded to default to the last setting. They will do it at no charge.

Vanderbilt Executive MBA 2012
President & CEO at Licensing Unlimited LLC
For Karen Sahetya, her first day of business school was a little scary. Along with the rest of the Executive MBA Class of 2012, she set out for the retreat setting of New Harmony, Indiana, where students become part of small-group "C-teams" of peers before entering the traditional Owen classroom setting.
"I was terrified of being out in the middle of all these cornfields with no cell phone reception and lots of school, because I hadn't been in school for quite a while," Karen admits. "But it was perfect and a great bonding experience. From that week on, it set the tone for our class because we are a really close group."
For seven years, Karen had worked for Fruit of the Loom — most of that time in licensed marketing, where she worked with major movie studies and retailers. But earning an MBA had always been a goal. "I wanted to complement my work experience with a stronger educational background," she says. "And in an uncertain economic time, an MBA from Vanderbilt would open doors."
Karen began earning a return on her investment almost right away. "Fruit of the Loom is very cross-functional," she says, "and it was immensely helpful to gain an understanding of areas outside of marketing."
The dividends kept on paying, too. Shortly before graduation, Karen leveraged her Vanderbilt education and her work experience to launch her own company, Licensing Unlimited, which helps manufacturing clients navigate the licensed marketing landscape.
In other ways, however, it's hard to put a value on her Owen education. "I've learned a tremendous amount from the lifelong friends I've made in the program," she says. "It has been a priceless experience."

Cindy Moran has a connection to the LSU Hilltop Arboretum that goes back some 40 years, when it was Emory Smith's little garden and nursery. On Sunday, Moran's garden will be one of five featured on the Friends of Hilltop Arboretum's Spring Garden Tour II.
"Emory Smith just loved plants and loved to talk to people about them and show them to people," said Moran, who has been gardening in Baton Rouge for at least 45 years.
In 1973, when Moran and her husband, Harry, built their home in Magnolia Woods, she decided to do the landscaping herself. So she enrolled in a residential landscaping class taught by Neil Odenwald, professor emeritus and former director of the LSU School of Landscape Architecture. It was from Odenwald that she learned about native plants.
"At that time, in the '70s, people were not concerned with native plants," Moran said. "Emory Smith was the one person who could find native plants. He would go to the wild areas and dig them up."
With knowledge from Odenwald's class, Moran made a plan for her garden.
"I like to have a plan, organization," Moran said. "I don't like just throwing stuff in."
Many of her plants came from Margie Jenkins, of Jenkins Farm & Nursery, who specializes in native plants at her nursery near Amite.
"She is quite a famous person in Louisiana horticulture," Moran said.
After working in retail nurseries, Moran opened her own nursery business, Moran's Nursery, in 1988.
"Margie went into growing trees and shrubs. I went into growing color, flowering plants, not native," she said.
Moran's garden is divided into two parts, her home garden and her work-support garden. Her home garden is filled with her favorites, begonias and succulents, what she calls her hobby plants.
"Oddly enough, begonias are succulents," she said. "Succulents are juicy plants, fleshy plants that store moisture."
Begonias are understory plants in tropical forests. They grow on the ground under the canopy of the trees and can get as tall as 6 or 7 feet.
"In tropical forests, we usually have drought periods," she said. "Succulents need to survive in drought."
In her nursery support garden, Moran grows plants to sell to retailers and landscape contractors in her wholesale-only business on Jefferson Highway.
At the back of her garden is a retention pond that was built when the lot was graded before the home was built.
"The pond is an important part of the ecology of this garden," Moran said. "It is a water source for birds and wildlife."
Moran also has a raised test garden, where she tries things out for her commercial nursery as well as for designs she uses in floral projects as a member of the Baton Rouge Garden Club.
"In our climate, you can grow anything, but the garden has to be raised," she said.
She is also a big fan of rainwater for plants because of the liming effect and salt in the local water.
"It contains a good bit of salt because of our saltwater intrusion," she said.
Moran collects rainwater in a rain barrel connected to a downspout from her roof.
"People in Baton Rouge think they don't need a rain barrel because we have so much rain," she said, "but over a long time if you water plants with nothing but Baton Rouge water, it hurts the plants. Baton Rouge water is good for people but not so good for plants."
As it did for many people in the area, Hurricane Gustav brought major damage to Moran's garden, when a large cherry bark oak was struck by lightning, fell in her driveway and hit the corner of her home. She replaced the oak with a small grove of pond cypress trees and built her Gustav pergola on the driveway side of her house. Everything in the pergola is red, a color that Moran seldom uses in her garden.
"Gustav was quite a shock, but it opened a whole lot of new vistas for people who never had sun," she said.
Moran never considered replacing the cherry bark oak with a live oak, so popular in local gardens.
"Live oaks are greedy," she said. "I always say you can have live oaks, or you can have a garden."
She treasures several plants she got from Emory Smith some 40 years ago. Her largest is a halesia, or silver bell tree, which blooms in the spring.
"It is supposed to be a substitute for dogwood, which we cannot grow very well because our drainage is too bad," she said.
A holly fern at the base of a tree near her pond always reminds her of Smith.
"Emory had at his house an old cellar," she said. "He had holly fern in that cellar with spores in the walls that would make little baby holly ferns. Emory would always say that his holly ferns supported the little nursery he had. Those were his money plants."

The city is less one storm siren while the warning device is repaired and relocated.
City Administrator Russell Rost said the siren had been located at the Union Firehouse No. 1 off Springfield Avenue, but will be moved to city property near the water tower on the western part of Union.
He noted that repairs are being made to the siren and the city is waiting for electrical work to be done at the new site, and is looking for a pole to mount the siren.
There is about $2,500 worth of repairs being conducted on the siren.
According to Rost those who live in the area who would hear that siren can still hear other sirens.
"I've been up there and I can hear some of the other sirens," he said.
He added that the best way for residents to stay informed is through the city's CodeRED emergency notification system.
"We're working our way to getting it fixed, but I strongly recommend people sign up for CodeRED," said Rost. "That is the primary source for storm notifications."
The alert system notifies residents through a phone call of severe weather, other emergencies or important announcements.
Rost said that some residents would prefer not to receive phone calls for each severe weather situation, but users can pick and choose when they are notified.
Four years ago, the city began using CodeRED and in 2011, the fire district entered into a joint agreement with the city to offer the service to its residents.
CodeRED receives weather broadcasts from the National Weather Service (NWS), while en route to television and radio stations.
Those within the fire protection district, which encompasses all of the Union city limits, can sign up at the city's website, www.ci.union.mo.us, or at the fire district's website, www.unionfd.org.
Sign-up is free and is only required with one of the entities.
The city's severe weather alert calls are triggered by the NWS.

Earlier this week allegations surfaced of Samsung hiring students to post negative reviews of HTC products; and in Taiwan of all places. Samsung has since admitted to the 'unfortunate' incidents and released a statement (below) to the media.
It was a website called TaiwanSamsungLeaks that set the ball rolling by publishing the documents of a marketing firm that Samsung uses, which contained forum posts with faked complaints against HTC handsets. These included the HTC Sensation XL, which was painted in a bad light next to the Galaxy Note, and the HTC One X.
It's a sad state of affairs to see Samsung taking this approach, although it has now ended its policy of allowing employees to post anonymously. Its massive fortunes already give it a strong advantage over HTC without it posting false reviews. That being said, just because Samsung has been caught this time, it doesn't mean to say it's the only manufacturer that's done it.
HTC is yet to announce what action it will take against Samsung, but the Taiwanese Fair Trade Commission could itself fine the South Korean Manufacturer £547,000. Still, that's a drop in the water next to Samsung's mammoth profits.
The whole incident underlines the fact that any review or advice read online is subjective, biased or perhaps in some cases false, so should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Official Samsung statement to the media (via The Register)
Samsung Electronics remains committed to engaging in transparent and honest communications with consumers as outlined in the company's Online Communications Credo. We have encouraged all Samsung Electronics employees worldwide to remain faithful to our Credo.
The recent incident was unfortunate, and occurred due to insufficient understanding of these fundamental principles.
Samsung Electronics Taiwan (SET) has ceased all marketing activities that involve the posting of anonymous comments, and will ensure that all SET online marketing activities will be fully compliant with the company's Online Communications Credo.
We regret any inconvenience this incident may have caused. We will continue to reinforce education and training for our employees to prevent any future recurrence.

Quebec's Maritime Region is one of the best in the world for whale-watching, as it's home to 13 species, including Beluga whales. Here, one mom recounts her family's trip to the area with tips on what to do, where to go, and where to stay.
Do your children believe in giants? Why not take them to where they live and thrive?
Just nine hours or so from the New York City area, you'll find the Quebec Maritime Region's 'Whale Route'—considered one of the best regions in the world for sightings of 13 species of whales, particularly those adorable white Belugas (about 1,100 in the area) and four migratory types: Fin, Minke, Blue, and Humpback. Imagine seeing a many-tons-heavy whale blow, hearing its haunting song, and having it rise before you high into the air. You might even be lucky enough to see a highly endangered, three-school-bus-long, 100-ton Blue Whale!
This French-speaking region of Quebec, where the fresh water from the St. Lawrence River mixes with the cold water of the North Atlantic to form nutrient-rich, food-filled waters (a banquet for those whales and seals) is delightful. Le Québec Maritime is the easternmost tourism zone in the province of Québec. It is made up of the lush, wilderness regions of the Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, Côte-Nord (Manicouagan and Duplessis), and Îles de la Madeleine, which are united by a common asset: the sea.
Here, you'll enter a world far from home in ambiance and culture. You'll find small New England-like villages, like the pretty town of Tadoussac, filled with tidy wooden homes topped with sloping red tile roofs; fabulous French bistros and tiny, rustic, yet sublime seafood cafes; a pleasant absence of chain stores and restaurants; and a decidedly French feel. Yes, you can definitely brush up on your high school French here, although you'll also be just fine with English.
Folks from the area say that visitors are practically guaranteed to view whales during their visit, but they advise that you stay for at least three days to better the odds. The warmest and best weather conditions are from June through early September, and that time period offers the best whale-watching opportunities as well, although Belugas live here year-round.
You can opt for an action-packed Zodiac inflatable boat, typically with a 12-passenger limit, a large whale-watching cruise boat, or a kayak tour (yes, kids can go on all of them,) or even just take the free ferry from Tadoussac to Baie-Sainte-Catherine (four other ferry routes are offered in Maritime Quebec as well) across the fjord to look for whales, seals, loons, and other sea life. Some people just stay on shore—but you may be astonished when the giant creatures approach at just five yards away.
On a recent visit to Tadoussac's Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre, an exceptional facility that attracts 35,000 visitors a year, I saw belugas frolicking just off the coast. At CIMM, you and your kids can take a free class in making 'whale music' with a balleinophone, observe enormous whale skeletons and models, and view an excellent film on whales produced by the center.
Other off-shore observation and education sites are listed on whales-online.net by the Group for Research and Education on Marine Mammals.
Your kids will never feel the same about roller coasters after experiencing a real-life sea adventure! On our Zodiac excursion, run by Essipit, we plunged into huge waves and felt like actors in the movie Perfect Storm. We were thrilled to see a Minke whale tossing and turning just yards away from us, with its pink-and-white belly and face fully visible. We also saw grey seals swimming right by our boat, and other whales in the distance.
A more sedate trip is sea kayaking, offered by many tour companies in the region. We opted for Mer et Monde Ecotours, owned by a young couple who operate a gorgeous campground on an exquisite piece of coastline. Some families just sit for hours at their wildflower-bedecked campsites, watching whales swim by the shoreline. Mer et Monde offers ready-to-go camping -- renting tents and all equipment (even sleeping bags). Another excellent sea kayaking operator is Ferme 5 Etoiles Family Vacation Site, which also features accommodations, restaurant, spa, and an animal sanctuary on premises with wolves, sled dogs, deer, owls, raccoons, a cougar, and a moose.
Nearby we visited the Cap-de-Bon-Désir Interpretation and Observation Center, a well-designed facility with a pretty lighthouse and more wonderful whale observation sites and information.
All ranges of accommodations are available, from camping or 'glamping' in treehouse cabins, to cozy inns, rental condos, and full-service hotels.
For a special treat, take your kids to sleep in a treehouse at Canopée Lit, a delightful little treehouse-filled forest enclave run by three young French cousins. These tiny homes are eco-designed to fill all your needs in the smallest space—too small for teens, probably, but ideal for younger kids.
As you and your kids experience the whales and wilderness of the Quebec Maritime, you're guaranteed to forget all about phones, computers, and technology. What better vacation for your family?

I have a crooked bridge of the nose and deviated septum. I had surgery 10 years ago on the bridge of the nose from an ear, nose and throat doctor that helped the breathing but didn't work on the deviated septum. I still notice that i have a little harder time breathing out one side than the other. I was wonder how hard the procedure to straighten out the whole nose and how much with my previous procedure.

Crooked Nose and Deviated Septum
It is impossible to straighten a crooked nose without also straightening the septum. Find a rhinoplasty specialist; a crooked nose is one of the more challenging procedures we do.
Your crooked nose and breathing problems are due to a C shaped deformity of the septum. A septoplasty is indicated.
Septorhinoplasty revision to straighten nose.
Septorhinoplasty revision to straighten nose.will give you what you want. Choose a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

Fire, smoke damage 4 apartments on Helm Lane; no injuries reported
By FAITH HUFFMAN | News-Telegram News Editor
July 20, 2007 - A section of Quail Ridge Apartments was evacuated late Friday night after a fire damaged four apartments.
No injuries were reported, but a pregnant woman was taken to the hospital as a precaution after inhaling smoke.
Arrangements were made for the residents of the affected section of the apartment complex to stay the remainder of the night in a hotel.
The blaze was reported to city dispatchers at 10:25 p.m. Friday in apartment 225, located upstairs behind the manager's office.
"It came in kind of unusual," Assistant Sulphur Springs Fire Chief Tim Vaughn said Saturday morning. "It was called in as a fire in an apartment. They then called back to say it was knocked out with a fire extinguisher. When police arrived, there were flames on the roof."
Firefighters responded with all available trucks. Police, who had arrived first, began going from apartment to apartment, knocking on doors and making sure all occupants were evacuated.
When the first truck arrived, firemen reported heavy smoke and flames coming from the roof.
"The first ones made entry in the interior," Vaughn said. "They went inside and knocked it down quick and good. They made a great stop. Those three guys jumped in and got it down."
Authorities made certain all occupants were out of the apartments. Seven off-duty Sulphur Springs firemen were called. Assistance was requested from the nearest volunteer department, Brinker VFD, which responded with five personnel.
Firefighters were at the scene until 1:23 a.m. Saturday checking for hot spots, smoldering embers and blowing as much smoke out of the apartments as possible.
Police stood by, making sure people remained a safe distance from the fire and keeping cars off that section of Helm Lane while firemen worked.
Hopkins County Emergency Medical Services also were on standby but treated only one person, a pregnant woman who was said to have inhaled a bit of the smoke. She was taken to the hospital to be checked out as a precaution.
The fire consumed apartment 225 and had spread into the "void" or crawl space between the ceiling and roof, causing some damage to both the roof and apartment next to it. At least two apartments on the ground floor, 124 and 125, sustained smoke damage.
Firefighters Saturday morning said they're still not sure how the fire started, only that it was in apartment 225. Sulphur Springs Assistant Fire Marshal Eric Hill is investigating the blaze.
Officials at Quail Ridge apartments could not be reached Saturday morning for further information regarding plans for the displaced residents.
Firefighters indicated the damaged section of apartments could be rebuilt should the owners choose to do so.
