College 101: Being Seen — And Unseen — Online

By Scholarship Media | Aug. 4, 2018

I don't know how to feel about the way we're all so visible online. I like using social media, but it kind of scares me that having a bad social media post can ruin your career and make you some kind of societal outcast. I know that some of the things that have caused outrage recently are absolutely unacceptable, but it also scares me to imagine that the internet mob might ever go after me.

College 101: Personal Injury Basics

By Scholarship Media | Jun. 28, 2018

Americans do have a bit of a reputation for suing each other, and it’s one that’s backed up by at least some of the statistics.
