Online
Bachelor’s Programs Rank in Top 30

Congratulations CityU
community! This month U.S. News & World Report ranked CityU’s online
bachelor’s degree programs among the top 30 in the United States in its
list of “Best Online Bachelor’s
Programs.” Over 800 accredited institutions were evaluated and
for the third year in a row CityU was the only private Washington State
based institution to make it into the top tier on this list. CityU’s
master’s programs were also among the highest ranked in the nation. more

CityU is excited to serve as
the education partner in Camo2Commerce’s Heroes Corporate Fellowship
Academy. This program will prepare Joint Base Lewis-McChord service
members to transition from the military into civilian life and the 21st
century workforce. Through business training courses CityU will teach
service members everything from foundational business strategies to
project management essentials to leadership skills.

Student
Profile: Jonathan Stutz

Everyone can pinpoint
influential figures in their lives, but even at a young age Jonathan
Stutz reached beyond his community and identified national and world
leaders as his personal role models. One of his earliest memories is
watching John F. Kennedy deliver a televised speech—an event that
inspired his lifetime of interest in leadership. Last year Jonathan
graduated from CityU’s Master of Arts in Leadership program, and is
currently working with organizations to apply ideas pulled from his
master’s thesis. more

Technology
Students Build Diabetics Journal App

Keeping the classroom
innovative, CityU instructor Ann Robinson challenged her group of
technology students to “think outside the box.” As part of their
capstone courses to complete their bachelor’s degrees in technology,
Ann’s students designed, tested and produced the app Diabetics Journal.
While there are plenty of other diabetes-related apps on the market, the
Diabetics Journal does more than simply store inputted data—it actually
interacts with the user. more

Helping
Out at North Helpline Food Bank

A great benefit of CityU’s
Washington Academy of Languages programs is the extra-curricular
activities, which, over the holiday season included volunteering at the
North Helpline Food Bank. As an added bonus, the seven CityU students
who participated on Christmas Eve were able to meet Seattle Mayor Ed
Murray who was working right alongside them helping clients. more
