Throughout the development and creation of California Baptist University’s division of Online and Professional Studies, it is apparent that community is one of the most important and respected aspects of this Christian university. CBU/OPS makes an overwhelming effort to bridge the gap and build a community of online learners. These learners, many working professionals with families and others whose careers are just beginning, are as varied as can be, but share one thing: a passion for faith-based education and the desire to use that education to give back to their communities. Ephesians 4: 11-13 “And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the fullness of Christ.” The mission of this publication is to evoke, or bring back to conscience mind, what sometimes is lost during the busyness of our day-to-day lives.

“Today, I am victorious.” Roshanda Roberts shared her life’s triumphs and tragedies with Online and Professional Studies and graduate students at California Baptist University’s commencement ceremony May 3, 2014. Roberts, 31, earned her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology through CBU/OPS. Roberts grew up the oldest of eight children in a single-parent house. Growing up in the inner city of south-central Los Angeles, Roberts spoke during her commencement address of how her family lived in and out of homeless shelters most of her childhood – but “that never stopped us from trusting in God.” Roberts spoke of her life’s tragedies – she experienced homelessness, poverty and abandonment. But she also spoke of how throughout her life, her mother relied on God and showed her children how to do so, as well. “The one thing that kept me grounded was my mother,” Roberts said. “She remained faithful and dedicated to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and as a result, I am here today.” When Roberts’ sister graduated from college, Roberts was inspired to go back to school. She returned to school in 2008, when she was eight months pregnant with her daughter, Jaiden. She earned her associate degree in psychology from the University of Phoenix, and from there, she earned a bachelor’s in criminal justice from Grand Canyon University.

Roberts plans to obtain a Doctor of Psychology and her goal is to work in the juvenile criminal justice system where she hopes to open her own practice. “You do not have to be a statistic, nor do you have to be a product of your environment,” Roberts said in her speech. Roberts said she hopes to help children and youth realize their own potential. “I want to inspire people to reach higher than arms’ length,” she said. “My story tells girls in the hood that they can be doctors, lawyers, teachers and MFTs (marriage and family therapists) if they choose.” Among others, Roberts thanked Dr. Joshua Knabb for his support in helping her achieve her goals. Knabb, department chair of behavioral science and assistant professor of psychology at CBU, said Roberts’ speech “captured her willingness and dedication to overcoming tremendous obstacles in order to grow as both a Christian and therapist.” Beyond her educational accomplishments, Roberts is also a self-published author and published a novel, “A Love Like No Other,” in September 2013. To end her speech, Roberts quoted her favorite Bible verse, Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through him who gives me strength.” “I am living proof that through Christ, all things are possible,” Roberts said.

Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Digital Media through California Baptist University’s Online Professional Studies presents a stimulating, high quality degree program while providing accessibility to working professionals. The program takes the hands-on field of Graphic Design and Digital Media and translates a skill packed, educational degree in graphic design, web design, video production and animation into an online degree that caters to working professionals who can complete their degree in a readily available environment. “I work and have a family so an online program was ideal for my situation,” Lee Comings, graphic design and digital media major, said. “The most valuable aspect of the program is having the flexibility to create designs at your own pace. Students often have fulltime jobs or

are juggling various responsibilities. The program allows students to create the best work possible by letting them design when they are focused and free of other obligations. As students create designs independently, students always collaborate together by providing constructive feedback to each other through discussion forums,” Sam Park, assistant professor of graphic design and digital media, said. Taking online courses provides unique hurdles to overcome, especially in pursuing a degree in graphic design. Students that would otherwise be working in a physical design space must scan in digital sketches of their work and communicate online to collaborate and expand on their creativity, exercising not only their design principles but also their professional communication skills. The program requires self-motivation and a higher level of dedication to accomplish a degree. “It’s challenging. You have to be disciplined and focused. Feedback from other students and professors is vital in improving your skills and making you a better designer,” Comings said. Graphic Design and Digital Media takes students through design courses that challenge their creativity and pushes designers to think creatively inside and outside of the box. “The foundational courses of the program train students to master design software and tools so that they can effectively create designs on demand. Students are challenged to use their skills to create designs that they visualize,” Park said. “[The program] is teaching me how to stretch my creativity and not think so literally. This makes design much more interesting. It’s also teaching me how to take my design concepts and develop them into real life, relevant, design communications,” Comings said. “I think one of the main things I’m learning is the ability to develop a strong concept for any given design topic and develop that concept into something that communicates a strong message.” As a standard in CBU curriculum, the program also includes an integration of faith. The degree equips its students to craft their design abilities into a tool of strong visual communication. “I’ve always been passionate about design and the impact it has on us. I want to help purposeful companies and organizations communicate their stories to the masses. I want God to use me to communicate His message to the world,” Comings said. Students are cultivated in faith, professionally, creatively, and are offered the flexibility to achieve growth on their own time within the CBU/OPS Graphic Design and Digital Media program.

aylor N. Santos and her family received military orders to relocate overseas. Santos worried about finishing up her kinesiology degree at the California Baptist University main campus but was able to enroll in CBU’s Online and Professional Studies kinesiology program and continue her degree online. Originally from Riverside, California, Santos, senior kinesiology major, and her family are currently living in Sasebo, Japan because of her husband’s active role in the United States’ military. According to Dr. Monica O’Rourke, associate kinesiology professor at CBU/OPS, students are required to take online courses such as movement anatomy, exercise physiology, care and prevention of athletic injuries and lifelong motor development. Students then select from a list of courses that address nutrition subsistence, athlete conditioning, methods for teaching sports activities, applied exercise physiology and fitness assessment. “My teaching philosophy is to be as hands on as much possible, I try to integrate being online and authentic assessments, meaning that its not about writing a paper but to get students to understand the theories and

then practicing the theories through practical applications, that’s again the beauty of online classes,“ O’Rourke said. For Michael A. Paraham, junior kinesiology major, getting a degree online at CBU/OPS has been a roller coaster of emotions, but his experience has been well worth it. Paraham knew that getting an online degree at a faith-based online program would be the best choice for him while allowing him to continue to work and earn a degree. While searching for a kinesiology degree online, all other schools Paraham looked into offered kinesiology degrees but students had to attend some classes traditional style and it wasn’t going to fit into his schedule of working and planning a wedding with his wife. It was hard for Paraham to find an all online program, so when he saw that CBU/OPS offered an online program in kinesiology it sparked his interest to further his education. “The fact that I could still study, work and spend time with my wife really motived me to come to CBU,” Paraham said. “When I saw that CBU offered this degree online,” Paraham added. “I

ESIOLOGY knew it was going to work for me since I would still be able to work and go to school and be at home with my wife.” The Recreation Center at CBU and the kinesiology program have partnered up to provide internships for kinesiology students to work in the Rec Center and train students, staff and faculty members. “The CBU Recreation Center is amazing,” O’Rourke said. “Not only state of the art but it is so professionally done, Stefani Plummer, the director there is amazing. We have been working and collaborating on integrating practical experience for both local and remote online kinesiology students. This has been a very exciting process.” The Recreation Center does not require trainers to have degrees to teach classes but students are required to be certified in their respected fields. This opens the door for students trying to find work while finishing up their degree. “We are excited to provide internship opportunities for students, since we offer free services we are always in need of kinesiology students who want to gain experience since it’s such a hands on field,” said Stefani Plummer, director of CBU’s Recreation Center.

Although the trainers are still students, this hands-on experience gives them an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge they have learned in class. “Being a personal trainer for the (Recreation Center) has helped me apply my online kinesiology degree with hands on experience, what I learn in my classes definitely helps me with my clients,” Paraham said. One of the most common projects for the online kinesiology program is the construction and implementation of a lesson plan. This project helps the students gain the skills to lead a group in some time of exercise and guide them through that workout. “For this assignment we would have to record it and then submit the video to be graded. We still have to go out and interact with others to help put what we are learning to use,” Santos said. “The professors do a great job in coming up with assignments that allow us to interact with others and put what we have learned to use.” Paraham and Santos, through the convenience of an online education at CBU/OPS, were able to not let whatever was going on in their lives dictate whether or not they were able to continue their education.

Aram D. Choe, public information officer at El Monte Police Department, uses law enforcement as his own ministry and enjoys putting smiles on the faces of the members of his community.

D

riving through the streets of El Monte, California, four children wave and get the attention of Cpl. Aram D. Choe, public information officer at El Monte Police Department. Choe waves and pulls over to hand each child a sticker and remind them to always listen to their parents and to stay out of trouble. Choe balances school, work and family obligations while earning his Master of Arts in Public Relations through California Baptist University’s Online and Professional Studies program. “I have always had a desire to serve others, and I’m able to do that here (at the police department). That’s why I call it my ministry,” Choe said. His goal has always been to get a master’s degree, and working through an online program has enabled him to do so while applying what he has learned to his career. Choe knew he wanted to earn a degree at an institution that shared his faith and encouraged its presence in his education and he has been able to by attending CBU/OPS. “Going to an institution that shares my Christian faith surely helped instill pride in my education,” Choe said. After deciding to leave California State University at Los Angeles after his junior year in 1999, Choe started his career in law enforcement with the idea that he would return to complete his bachelor’s after he finished his

probationary period. When that year passed, Choe told himself he would return after he got settled into his job. Choe got married and decided he would wait a year after his marriage to finish his education -- then had four children. Fifteen years later, Choe decided to complete his bachelor’s of criminal justice management in January 2014 at Union Institute and University. He started attending OPS classes for his master’s degree this summer. It became more than just school for Choe, however, when he sat down during his orientation in May. CBU OPS Vice President David Poole said the school started in El Monte in the ‘50s, and Choe thought, “Man, God really put me here and connected this full circle for a reason. It’s such a small world.” “We have this running joke in the police department that all roads lead to El Monte, so I really feel like I belong at CBU for that connection,” Choe said. As a police officer, Choe tries to find time in his busy work schedule by finding a shady place to park his patrol car during his lunch breaks to catch up on his reading for class. “My captain asked me the other day why I’m getting a major in public relations and I explained I already have a bachelor’s in criminal justice management, and it was a struggle to get through it because it was like going through my

Written by Maribel Ramirez

l

career all over again. And this is exciting to me; I enjoy going to class and listening to lectures and seeing what students outside of my little world are doing,” Choe said. As a public information officer, there is a lot of training involved for first responders, who have to learn how to write press releases and how to perform in front of a camera. However, Choe said the training doesn’t help officers learn how to plan long-term campaigns through preparing press releases, acting as a liaison for press and media, maintaining social media pages and relating to the community -- which his graduate classes are teaching him. Choe explained that though his job entails law enforcement, there is also an intervention aspect to his work. “Something as insignificant to giving stickers to kids,” he said, can affect the way people think about police officers. “When their older siblings or parents say police are bad, they will say, ‘Well no, that one police officer was very nice.” “People only have one or two interactions with police their entire lives,” Choe said. “Those three girls and that one boy had a positive one because I gave them a sticker. I’m glad to do it.” As Choe works toward his master’s degree, he is sending a message to the El Monte Police department about how serious he is in the advancement in his career.

he future is brighter for California Baptist University students thanks to the guidance and support of CBU alumnus Robbie Silver. Silver, 23, is the communications and events liaison for the Riverside Downtown Partnership. He has helped facilitate opportunities for CBU students to gain work experience through the CBU/OPS and Riverside Downtown Partnership Internship Program, which matches CBU students with internship opportunities with local businesses in Downtown Riverside. These internships allow students to gain practical experience in the field of public relations and communications while providing the local businesses with the much-needed assistance. “Today’s job market calls for individuals with job experience in addition to a degree,” Silver said. Connecting students with that experience has been a passion Silver, who completed his degree in communication studies in May, has been able to embrace through his job with

RDP. Silver develops innovative ways to “build business capacity for the downtown businesses.” RDP manages the business improvement district of Downtown Riverside and coordinates annual events such as Restaurant Week, Riverside Zombie Crawl and two fashion shows. The agency joined forces with CBU/OPS when they hosted a free social media marketing seminar for downtown businesses in October 2013. Silver asked his mentors Dr. Mary Ann Pearson, associate professor of public relations and director of Online and Professional Studies’ Master of Arts in Public Relations program, and Dr. Patricia Hernandez, assistant professor of communication studies and director of the Master of Arts in Communication Studies program at OPS, to host the seminar. The event was a success in opening the eyes of the business owners’ to the benefits social media has for their companies through the support from the university’s interns. The Downtown Intern Program was formed as a joint program between CBU/OPS

and RDP as a result of the seminar. Students were interviewed and accepted into the internship program and carefully matched based on their skills and personalities with the needs of 20 downtown service, non-profit, retail/fashion and hospitality based businesses and government and business associations. Twenty-four students have gained practical experience in their field of study by assisting the businesses with marketing campaigns, community networking and social media. Silver noted the program has also been successful in encouraging the city’s hometown talent to stay in Riverside. The close proximity of Downtown Riverside to the university is advantageous for students who wish to gain experience while enrolled in classes. “Students do not need to travel outside of the city and beyond to find jobs in public relations and social media,” Silver said. “Those jobs are available right here at home.” Vanity Haus, a clothing store owned by R.J. Rodriguez and Brian Hopper, benefited from the work of their intern from the RDP.

“In a time when we were opening our doors, social media and marketing were something we knew we had to do in getting the word out about our store,” Hopper said. “Our intern promoted us and she helped us out with every and all forms of social media.” Hopper said the store had an existence on social media, but the businesses intern’s efforts and knowledge took their social media sites from being something they posted on occasionally to something with structure. “It absolutely helped our business-- we are two young business owners with full-time jobs and we didn’t have the time to monitor and maintain our social media,” Hopper said. “It really took us from having a word of mouth audience to a citywide and beyond audience. “ The long-term vision for the CBU/OPS and Riverside Downtown Partnership Internship Program, according to Silver, is to continue to expand the number of participating businesses and students in the program. In a matter of months, the program has drawn a great amount of recognition from local officials. Silver was recognized as a Riverside Pride Mayoral Success Story during the May 20 council meeting. “It is a great example of a ‘we are better together seizing our destiny’ moment,” said

Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey. Silver said the most rewarding part of the Downtown Intern Program experience has been mentoring the interns. “I have a passion for CBU and helping my fellow classmates find internships,” he said. “I enjoy meeting with the students on a oneon-one basis to discuss social media marketing strategies for the businesses they are interning for.” Being able to help CBU students has been fulfilling for Silver, who found refuge at the university following the illness of his father, Gary, who was diagnosed with colon and pancreatic cancer in February 2011 and died three months later. The Silver’s lost their house shortly thereafter, but he was able to return to school full-time thanks to the support of his mother Debbie and his family and friends. Silver envisions the university in his future and hopes to return as a professor one day, following in the footsteps of Pearson and Hernandez. “CBU has been my ‘second home’ for many reasons,” he said. “Everything I’ve learned as a student at CBU has shaped the way I conduct business. God has opened many doors for me recently and I am looking forward to where life takes me in the near future.”

T H E M I S S I O N I N N F O U N D AT I O N Entrepreneur Frank Miller spent a lifetime building and renovating the historic Mission Inn. After purchasing his father’s property in the late 1800s, Miller built up a hotel that became the center of the social and cultural life of Riverside. The Mission Inn Foundation was one of 22 Downtown Riverside businesses who participated in the Riverside Downtown Partnership’s internship program. In the past, the Foundation had interns from the University of California at Riverside who would focus on paperwork and other projects, but the Downtown Internship Program provided the Foundation’s first graphic design intern. “Interns have new ideas that work well, plus the price is right for new employees: A few cups of coffee or a snack, and they will work all

day. They’re great,” said Nanci Larsen, director of audience development and administration for the Foundation. The Foundation also hosts educational youth programs such as “Hands on History,” a program that introduces students to the history of their neighborhood through the use of oral histories, walking tours, art and photography. “Our job is to protect for the public the Mission Inn, which is a historic national landmark,” Larsen said of the nine Foundation employees. “Our job is to protect the collection, its artifacts and the building itself.” The Mission Inn Foundation will continue to partner with the Downtown Internship Program. According to Larsen, interns help to keep the business updated, fresh and more up to date in the look of today’s market.

THE VANITY HAUS The Vanity Haus began to emerge as the cutting edge of fashion, styling, and photography retail boutique of downtown Riverside. RJ Rodriguez and business partner Brian Hopper opened The Vanity House on Valentine’s Day this year and have assisted in Downtown Riverside’s initiative to become a regional fashion district. When Robbie Silver, communications and events liaison for the Riverside Downtown Partnership, mentioned social media interns for downtown Riverside, Rodriguez and Hopper

said they were very excited. “To run the store, take care of social media, the website, pictures, any type of marketing or advertising is really difficult because we are so busy internally with the function of the store,” Rodriguez said. Kira DeSpain, 2014 CBU journalism graduate, was a great fit with what the Vanity Haus needed from an intern because of her artistic background. She helped create social media campaigns and before leaving, left a social media plan for the next intern.


SWEET EPIES During the spring of 2013 Regina Gray began turning out her cakes, crumbles and sweet potato pies at Sweet Epies Bakery and Café located at 3540 Ninth St. in Riverside. Regina and her husband Levonzo Gray have ventured into the business market in downtown Riverside after their passion of baking and home-made meals prompted them to open shop. “Everything we do, we do in faith and we believe in putting God first, family then work. If we let God shine, God will shine on us and others will see that, ” Levonzo Gray, owner of Sweet Epies said.

19

Both Regina and Levonzo come in at 4 a.m. to begin the process of baking but it takes nearly six hours to prepare enough food for their bakery and cafe to be ready for customers. “My wife and I are the owners and she is also the cook, she’s the master mind from all these desserts. We picked a bakery because that is her gift, baking and giving back,” Gray said. As small business owners, the Grays don’t have the time to manage social media for their business, so when they hired an intern through the Downtown Riverside Internship Partnership, the intern was able to lay the foundations for a web presence.


RIVERSIDE ART MUSEUM The Riverside Art Museum, located in the historic Mission Inn district of Downtown Riverside, is the largest non-profit visual arts museum in the Inland Empire. After partnering with the internship program, The Riverside Art Museum offered an internship where students can learn about the arts, artists and the inner workings of an art museum focused in the areas of communications, marketing, community engagement and fund development. Marielle K. Sedin, senior public relations and journalism double major at California Baptist University, was the marketing intern for The Riverside Art Musuem. Her tasks included creating various publication materials using Adobe’s InDesign and Photoshop as well as writing and publishing

press releases for events. She also photographed museum events for social media and contacted various non-profit companies for partnership opportunities. “The Riverside Art Museum is a great organization with a very small staff of people who are always incredibly busy,” Sedin said. “I was always busy with something, even if it wasn’t related to marketing or public relations, so it was a really good experience in broadening my skill set.” The museum’s mission is to serve the diverse communities of the Inland Empire by providing visual art of the finest quality and related educational and interpretive programs, and exhibiting traditional and contemporary art that addresses social issues and diverse themes in a range of media techniques.

ven when there wasn’t a lot there was enough to share. She was taught such generosity by observing her grandmother who had little, give abundance to others. “My grandmother had seen days without food,” Mary Crist, professor of education at California Baptist University’s Online and Professional Studies said. “When I was growing up, one thing I learned when watching her was that when somebody came to our house to ask for food she always fed them no matter when during the day.” Crist leaned back in her chair reminiscing. “Often the hungry people would ask her for work but she didn’t have money to pay them, so what she taught me was when somebody comes asking for food you always share what you have,” Crist said. “That’s a principle of Blackfeet Indian hospitality anyway and I always grew up with that.” Crist joined CBU as a professor of education in 1992. She was the dean of the Metcalf School of Education from 2000 to 2011. In 2011 Crist joined CBU/OPS as a professor of 23

education and is currently still involved with the education program there. “I was really excited about being part of online education because it allows people to attend college who aren’t able to attend in traditional classes,” Crist said. “It levels the playing field.” St. Michael’s Church was closed down so the focus could be on a full-time outreach ministry, but they rent the property to two other congregations on weekends. Crist and many other volunteers put on community dinners and desserts every Thursday at St. Michael’s Outreach Center in Riverside for those who can’t afford meals. The community joins together, blesses the food and enjoys one another’s company. These community dinners have been going on for three years and serve about 100 to 150 people every Thursday night at 6 p.m. One woman who made a transformation over the years at these dinners is Dawn. From living on the streets to losing her relationships with her five children, she regained strength in the Lord and decided to change her life around.

Dawn started to get involved with the community center by serving meals and sharing her stories of progress. She continues to serve and is now living in the Silva Home in Riverside and working at Parkview Hospital, across the street from the outreach center. Dawn’s main focus is to take care of her son Nathan and to work on a healthy relationship with her five older children. She said she was able to reunite with her daughter after 10 years. “It’s by the grace of God that (my children) found me because I’m not jumping around,” Dawn said. “I’m perfect right now and I like living where I’m at.” Crist explained that the community had become a big extended family to Dawn and others. They celebrate birthdays and other events and milestones together. “I know if you’re really following God and really paying attention to the Holy Spirit then miracles happen and that’s what happens here,” Crist said. “It doesn’t happen by itself, it’s really God’s call to action.”
