Olivet University theology student in Los Angeles
A dozen of Olivet University theology students headed south this summer to begin their short
term mission in Los Angeles for about three weeks. Hopeful reports are
streaming in as students from the Olivet Theological College and
Seminary are passionately practicing what they have learned from the
classroom.
Courses in evangelism offered at Olivet University included models developed by the late Dr. Ralph D. Winter such as the E-scale, which refers to the cultural difference between the missionary and the person he or she is witnessing to.
Olivet University students coming to study from foreign countries use their diverse cultural background as an advantage to connect to people during evangelism trips.
"We have group bible study four days a week. We give Bible Studies in both English and Chinese to cater to the different groups of individuals we’re meeting,” said OTCS student Gloria Tang.
"Sometimes people show no interest, but whenever I encounter those who are seeking the Bible, there is nothing more thrilling. I realize that evangelism is bringing the people that God has already prepared," added Tang.
Olivet students seek to be trained in preaching the Gospel effectively through academics and practical hand-on experience. One of the churches that Olivet students are collaborating with is the Pilgrim Presbyterian Church in Orange County. The church also provides spiritual and Biblical trainings for the short-term missionaries.

Olivet University Washington, D.C. program to be enhanced with production facilities
March 12, 2013
Olivet College of Journalism's
Washington D.C. program is preparing to equip students with practical
training and learning opportunities in the nation's capital at new
campus facilities this spring.
According to Director Eunice Or, classrooms are being designed at offices that were formerly home to God TV, which is known for its faith-based programs broadcasted across the globe.
As soon as April, participants of OCJ's Washington program will be
gaining academic and internship credit as well as professional skills
learning in offices equipped with broadcasting sets/studios, video
editing suites, newsroom, and other production facilities, perfect for
training students in the area of visual news production.
The Washington D.C. program is focused on placing students in
professional local internships and providing related academic
programming.
With more than 5,000 journalists living and working in the D.C.
area, OCJ's journalism program is positioned ideally in the nation’s

Olivet University San Francisco Students Developping Anti-Plagiarism Software
Plagiarism may be centuries old, but the
practice has certainly not lost its relevance. With a plethora of
resources and content being produced on a daily basis all of which are
easily accessible via the internet, plagiarism seems to be a growing
trend and a growing problem not only within cyberspace but also within
academic space.
Students at Olivet University's Institute of Technology in San Francisco are opting to help solve plagiarism, a practice that has arguably been plaguing not only several online media companies but also university institutions and its professors.
"All institutions deal with the universal challenges of preventing and detecting plagiarism in student work. Cheating has become easier in today's digital age. Copying and pasting materials from the web onto assignments are causing concerns for faculty who have to monitor a growing number of student in their class," read one of the University's recent article.
The University's website also adds that the students will present the work by the end of first quarter of 2013.
Many institutions around the world are ramping up their efforts and investing resources in this growing issue in order to better detect and fight off these maligned practices.
One other example is found in Nigerian Federal Universities which have recently partnered up with an UK IT firm in order to deploy anti-plagiarism software throughout the institutions in order to better detect according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
The project was spearheaded by the Committee of Vice-chancellors in Nigeria and so far it has received only praise.
Dayo Duyile, the head of the mass communication department at Joseph Ayo Babalola University, called the action a "good move" while other professors from other institutions such as Ademola Onifade, director of the Centre for Environment and Science Education at Lagos State University, lauded the initiative.
On a parallel note, plagiarism may even relate to politicians who were once students at higher institutions.
According to The Daily Tarheel, a investigation in Russia is underway that may target plagiarism among top political figures such as President Vladimir Putin.
"Plagiarism has been a widespread problem in Russia since the Soviet Union fell in the 1990s. The probe is the first of its kind in Russian history," says Donald Raleigh according to the website.
Back in February, current Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev informed of this anti-plagiarism investigation into Russian Universities targeting the fraudulent practices.

Students Get Hands-On in VMware Forum from Olivet University
Olivet University IT Students participated in an online VMware Forum for a hands-on experience about VMware's virtualization software. The session allowed participants to learn about VMware IT products and solutions for enhanced mobility, utilization of cloud, and security. VMware uses cloud-computing software providing virtualization for servers and operating systems.
The forum’s online chat with VMware experts and live break out sessions allowed deeper discussion of proper implementation and setup. IT students work with the virtualization software and hardware to improve management and organization of personal desktops. Collaborating with IT professionals and forums, the team worked on a sample entry level enterprise solution that acts as a training ground towards setting up a larger mid-range solution. Part of the university’s R&D department are already utilizing virtualization to make IT services more accessible ranging from laptops, phones, and tablets.
VMware will be having its 10th year anniversary of VMworld in San Francisco in August. The event is expected to host 21,000 attendees this year. Olivet’s IT College plans to attend the event to engage with market leading technology for business and growth.
