Armed with a rich background in the liberal arts and basic sciences, personal research experience, and many hours spent in the laboratory as well as the field, Biology majors at Lenoir-Rhyne have an edge when it comes to postgraduate education and employment. The biology program has high expectations of its students, who are rewarded with the successes that come to those willing to work hard and commit to their education.
Lenoir-Rhyne offers both a Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Biology.
The BS in Biology major acquaints students with information and methods pertinent to a variety of biological areas, as well as selected areas of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Some of the courses include study of genetics, cellular biology, ecology, plant anatomy and physiology, and independent research. Its 37-hour major, with 127-28 hours of science technical requirements is a more extensive curriculum than the B.A. option. The B.S. in Biology is the preferred major for students who plan to continue in the field of Biology after graduation. This major prepares qualified students to enter graduate school in the biological sciences as well as medical school, dental school, veterinarian or other professional schools. In addition, biology in conjunction with other academic programs offers a dual-degree program in Pre-Forestry and Pre-Environmental Management.
The BA in Biology is designed to prepare students for a variety of scientific and health-related employment opportunities. This program includes a 33-hour major with 19-20 hours of science technical requirements. Many students select the Bachelor of Arts in Biology major when they plan to double major and wish to combine their educational interests. For example, a student interested in elementary education might select this major if they are hoping to teach Biology, or a student interested in scientific writing might choose to combine the Biology major with one in English or Communication. The options are many; however this is not the major for students planning to pursue graduate programs in the basic sciences or continue to health-related professional schools (such as medical or dental school).
In addition to extensive laboratory experience through all of the biology courses, there are many opportunities for students to learn and develop skills outside of the classroom. Outdoor classroom activities and field experiences are planned throughout each academic year. Students perform ecological studies at lakes, streams and in the mountains. Students also take an active role in science outreach and in nature preservation on campus.
Biology students are required to complete an independent research project - performing all aspects of scientific discovery from data collection and observation to experimentation and evaluation – and present their findings to faculty and peers.
There are many potential professional paths for biology graduates—and the options continue to grow as we expand our understanding and application of scientific knowledge. Many biology majors continue onward in graduate or professional schools to prepare for careers in research, the medical and health sciences, ecology and arboriculture, and/or agricultural and animal sciences. Others find their ways into scientific sales or writing, or in education/teaching across various school levels. Moreover, the skills sharpened in biological study—critical thinking, problem-solving, experimentation, computation, systems thinking—all translate into other professional pathways.
The Biology major earns either a BS degree or a BA degree. Students may also complete a minor in Biology.

How do we deal with wrongs committed against those whom we don’t know personally, whom we can’t - and should not - seek out for forgiveness, but whose suffering we’ve witnessed and and in some way contributed to either directly or indirectly through the strands that weave us together in this inescapable web of interconnection?
Can we allow ourselves the unfettered freedom to play - with how we view others in our lives? With how we see the world? To continually be in a state of curiosity and ask, even in the times in which we feel most sure, the question: what else could this be?
What does it mean to change our name? And how can changing our name change who or what we are?
As we are moved to action, may we find strength where we didn’t know we had it; time where we thought there was none; resources where we thought there was little; community where we thought we were alone; and hope where we once felt despair.

Destroyed by drugs, redeemed by Christ.
Ben Schmidt had a typical childhood: he rode his bike down country roads, played street hockey with his cousin, and idolized his older brother. At seventeen he graduated a semester early from high school and worked to save up for college.
Life was good, until a tragedy tore his world apart.
Six months later he spent his days huddled in basements, squatting behind blacked out windows. He had turned his back on his family, friends and future in order to numb himself with drugs.
At times shocking, funny and heartbreaking, Ben takes the reader into the belly of the beast, shedding light into the drug-fueled underworld of a small midwestern town. He shares how he scratched his way up to the top, how it all came crashing down, and how no one is beyond the power of Jesus’ love.

Martin Collison has been passionate about fishing since the age of 6 and was lured into kayak fishing about 10 years ago and has relished the opportunities this has offered him in both fresh and salt water fishing.
Over recent years Martin has enjoyed great success at UK competitions and meets with regular podium finishes and big events. Like many though Martin loves being on the water and takes no greater pleasure in targeting selected species and making the catch – this is where his Raymarine Axiom unit comes into its own.
2014 was a big year for Martin getting consistent placing as big events which saw him crowned the most consistent kayak tournament angler in 2014. Martin was also part of the RTM Kayak Fishing UK team for 2014 and from 2014 became part of the pro staff Jackson Kayak UK Fishing team along with Mark Radcliffe.
Martin has been using Raymarine equipment since 2014 with great success.
Mark has enjoyed fishing for over 30 years with the last 10 or more being kayak fishing.
Mark started his fishing in the Humber and despite travelling all over the world his Humber memories as some of his fondest. Over the last 10 years, Mark has become one of the most recognisable faces on the kayak fishing scene and is a frequent fixture on the podium at tournaments around the U.K. particularly in the species hunting events common on the South Coast. Following his success Mark was selected to be part of the Jackson Kayaks European Fishing Team and he and his team mates enjoy regular success.
Mark continues to enjoy success on the water particularly in the Species hunt series which is a passion of his. Regularly catching over 50 salt water species in a year he takes no greater pleasure in catching small wrasse, gobies and blennies on the appropriate gear. With trips taking him to Norway, Sweden and beyond his list of catches continues to be the envy of most.
For Mark kayak fishing opens up vast areas of unexplored water, both fresh and at sea. Being able to paddle along the bottom of cliffs that you know no one has ever fished is an exceptional feeling and the closeness you get to your quarry when sitting just a few inches above the water is unequalled in any other area of fishing he has experienced. Raymarine Axiom with the 3D sonor as further enhanced both the experience and his success and each time on the water Mark discovers new ways to test the kit to use the kit to its limits.

Here’s that great video our Bring Me Hope team showed at TD on Friday (thanks Megan!). I’ve been singing this song all day today (ok, maybe not singing, since I don’t speak Chinese, but definitely humming!). Study the faces of the orphaned children and consider what their lives may be like. Look at their joy, pride, … and dignity, and then please say a word of prayer for the millions of orphaned children they represent. Then begin praying what future part you will have in His story in the lives of some of this world’s orphaned.
Please keep them in your prayers as they finish off their weeks and return soon!
Christmas at the Care Centers!
Thank you for joining us as a Show Hope Care Center sponsor! You are helping to provide life-giving care to children like Aurora, Suzy, and Dondeena.
This time of year, our Care Centers in China are full of so much Christmas cheer! We started the season off with caroling, and the kids loved all the singing, dancing, and guitar playing! The children at Maria’s Big House of Hope have also enjoyed making reindeer and Christmas tree crafts, and the kids in Zhengzhou have enjoyed dressing up in Santa hats and taking festive photos as they play with tinsel.
We are so grateful for your generosity over this past year, and for all of the precious children who received such amazing care as a result. The impact you have on their lives is immense, and we cannot thank you enough for your faithful support. May God’s richest blessings rest on you today and always.
Continuing our “Are You Serious?” Summer studies, we will continue to dialogically explore passages of Scripture that give us serious truth that we often don’t take too seriously; truth that we acknowledge with our heads, but when push comes to shove, we don’t stand by with our lives. Either Scripture doesn’t really mean it or we don’t; but someone isn’t really serious.
This week, we will explore “Marriage and Divorce” – both very common (too common) amongst Christians, our church included. We will need to come open-handed and open-hearted, truthful yet sensitive, desiring to really see what the Lord’s intentions and directives are, willing to call a spade a spade, and resolving to live His way. Once again, we will study in an open architecture, group study format.
Prior to our study, we will also hear and see the latest from all the orphaned children we are sponsoring in Africa and China. We will also show some video footage taken last week of the girls with special needs we are sponsoring in China! It’ll be a great time to get to know them better and pray for them!
On Show Hope’s web site, there is a good, clear article entitled, “What Does The Bible Have to Say About Orphan Care?” (click to check it out). It lists 4 biblical mandates: defend, give, visit, and help. These are areas TD will be growing in engaging in over time (but beginning immediately). But there are immediate opportunities.
TD SG Initiative – Helping Orphans!
As promised, last Friday’s TD meeting was a special one. My big brother, Richard (above), came to share with us about a ministry to orphans in Africa that he is very involved with, Rafiki Foundation, in hopes of helping to give us an avenue to practice pure Christianity and to be doers of the Word, not merely hearers (James 1:22-27).
Then I shared about a ministry that my family has been getting increasingly involved with, a ministry to helping orphans find strong Christian families (particularly with deformities and disabilities in China – the unwanted ones), Show Hope.
James 1:27 confronts us this way, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” And TD will be responding!
The boys small groups will each be sponsoring an orphan boy in Africa through Rafiki, while the girls small groups will each be sponsoring an orphan girl in China through Show Hope!

this time of year, our care centers in china are full of so much christmas cheer! we started the season off with caroling, and the kids loved all the singing, dancing, and guitar playing! the children at maria’s big house of hope have also enjoyed making reindeer and christmas tree crafts, and the kids in zhengzhou have enjoyed dressing up in santa hats and taking festive photos as they play with tinsel.
we are so grateful for your generosity over this past year, and for all of the precious children who received such amazing care as a result. the impact you have on their lives is immense, and we cannot thank you enough for your faithful support. may god’s richest blessings rest on you today and always.
continuing our “are you serious?” summer studies, we will continue to dialogically explore passages of scripture that give us serious truth that we often don’t take too seriously; truth that we acknowledge with our heads, but when push comes to shove, we don’t stand by with our lives. either scripture doesn’t really mean it or we don’t; but someone isn’t really serious.
this week, we will explore “marriage and divorce” – both very common (too common) amongst christians, our church included. we will need to come open-handed and open-hearted, truthful yet sensitive, desiring to really see what the lord’s intentions and directives are, willing to call a spade a spade, and resolving to live his way. once again, we will study in an open architecture, group study format.
prior to our study, we will also hear and see the latest from all the orphaned children we are sponsoring in africa and china. we will also show some video footage taken last week of the girls with special needs we are sponsoring in china! it’ll be a great time to get to know them better and pray for them!
on show hope’s web site, there is a good, clear article entitled, “what does the bible have to say about orphan care?” (click to check it out). it lists 4 biblical mandates: defend, give, visit, and help. these are areas td will be growing in engaging in over time (but beginning immediately). but there are immediate opportunities.
td sg initiative – helping orphans!
as promised, last friday’s td meeting was a special one. my big brother, richard (above), came to share with us about a ministry to orphans in africa that he is very involved with, rafiki foundation, in hopes of helping to give us an avenue to practice pure christianity and to be doers of the word, not merely hearers (james 1:22-27).
then i shared about a ministry that my family has been getting increasingly involved with, a ministry to helping orphans find strong christian families (particularly with deformities and disabilities in china – the unwanted ones), show hope.
james 1:27 confronts us this way, “religion that god our father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” and td will be responding!
the boys small groups will each be sponsoring an orphan boy in africa through rafiki, while the girls small groups will each be sponsoring an orphan girl in china through show hope!

In today’s uncertain world it is good to get help you can really trust.
One of our aims as your local authority is to help improve the warmth, comfort, safety and security of housing in our area.
We have created a loan that will help you remain in a well maintained home during your retirement and you can repay as little or as much of the loan as you like each month.
All this is backed up with the peace of mind that the loan is provided by your local authority on a not-for-profit basis.
Any homeowners who are aged 60 years or over. In the case of joint owners, each must be at least 60 years of age.
What improvements can be considered?
The loans are described as flexible and they are exactly that. During the term of the loan you can choose to make regular monthly payments, occasional payments or no payments at all. Furthermore, you are free to vary the arrangement at any time.
The loan, plus any outstanding interest, must be repaid if the home is sold, or if the owners cease to occupy it. The loan can also be paid off at any time without penalty.
The loan will be secured by a charge on the property.
Interest will be charged at a low rate linked to Bank of England rate (please contact us for a quotation). Your account will also be debited with an annual charge of £15 to cover the cost of loan administration and statements.
Are there any initial costs?
There will be a fee for loan documentation and registration of the legal charge. The fee will be added to the loan and is currently £80.00 for loans up to £100,000.
In certain circumstances the Council may need to obtain a valuation of your property to confirm the equity is sufficient to cover the loan. This is unlikely to be needed in the majority of cases.
If you decide to engage a solicitor to act for you, they will almost certainly charge for their service. Any fees incurred may, if you wish, be added to the loan.
When the loan is eventually repaid there is a flat fee of £50.00 for cancellation of our registered charge.
I would like to find out more – what happens next?
It couldn’t be simpler. Just contact your local authority, who will be happy to arrange an appointment to visit you in your home at a convenient time to discuss your requirements.

This small bathroom is made bigger and more earthy by the horizontal planks lining this wall. This is a relatively easy thing to do a bathroom and a great way open a bathroom up and give it grounding at the same time.
The mixture of textures in this room make me so happy. I love the clean white tiles, the chicken wire basket, the brass light fixtures, the grey wood sink and the darker wooden up cycled vanity mirror. This is quite a mix and I find the result thrilling. It reminds me to never be shy when tossing things all together in a room.
1. Instead of sheet rocking or tiling a bathroom, line the walls with wooden planks. Do not forget to instal them horizontally. This will give it a barn like feel.
2. We often only think of stainless steel when doing a bathroom. We say be bold and go BRASS. It gives rooms a vintage look.
3. Instead of using a clean cabinet in a bathroom install shelves instead to achieve a down home look.
4. When trying to get the rustic look always incorporate an obvious up cycle like they did here with the vanity mirror.

Although I’ve hired a lot of people, I’d never been asked that question before. Bob made me think about what they all have in common and I have no doubt that passion is the first criteria I look for when I interview a candidate.
But ‘passion’ is a very subjective term. How do you define it, identify it and select for it?
Yes, I look for people who know their subject, but they must also be willing to learn and go the extra mile. Passionate people talk about their purpose in life before talking about their qualifications. They are enthusiastic, contagiously positive – they make you feel good!
The opposite is the recipe for disaster. The damage an incorrect hire can wreak is huge.
So, as an interviewer, how can you encourage a candidate to show their passion?
I always find it very helpful to start by articulating the purpose of the company and articulating my own enthusiasm for the job I do. Passionate people react immediately to concept of purpose because it’s what drives them. If your purpose resonates with them, you’ll see it straight away, not just in what they say but also in their body language. This spark and this connection are what I look for in a potential candidate.
Hiring the wrong person can be a disaster. It’s not just the work that’s at risk, it’s also the morale of the rest of your team, not to mention your reputation as a manager. Hiring requires full focus, great preparation and lots of time! Many managers don’t invest enough time for such crucial part of their job.
Approach hiring the way you would approach giving a presentation to your boss or speaking in front of an audience of important people. Preparation and thoughtfulness at every stage of the process is essential.
It begins with the job description and posting. You can’t expect your HR team to support you in finding great candidates if you provide a vague or inaccurate description of what the role will entail.
Have I clearly defined the job specs?
Have I clearly articulated my requirements to the HR team?
Go back to question 1, then rinse and repeat until you are ABSOLUTELY CLEAR!
I’ve heard managers say: “Well, if they are too clever, I risk losing my job.” Don’t EVER think this way! Don’t settle for less, don’t be scared about driving a team of really clever and dedicated people; be proud of it. Your employees will make you better, they will make you believable and stronger as a manager. As long as you believe in your team, they will believe in you. Be genuinely interested in them, coach them to give their best and offer a clear sense of purpose. The results will be magical.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with and hire amazing teams: energetic, passionate and always ready to improve themselves. I’d like to thank them and encourage you to make passion a priority the next time you’re hiring. Because, for a manager, there’s nothing so satisfying as building an outstanding team.
Having been part of Luciano’s Team, I second all that!
Veramente notevole Luciano, avrei voluto farti conoscere qualche manager italiano.
‘Improve’ e’ una delle mie parole preferite….
Bellissimo articolo! Mi piace tantissimo l’originalità con la quale vesti le tue idee! Bravo e grazie per averci coinvolto con la forza della passione!
