The RISE Summer Internship Program is well underway, and this week our students gathered for a midpoint lunch and speaker session — a moment to pause, connect and be inspired!

We were grateful to have Doug Axe, Rosa Endowed Chair of Molecular Biology at Biola University, share with our students on the intersection of faith, science and artificial intelligence — a conversation as timely as it is thought-provoking.

From the lab to the lunch table, it has been incredible watching these students grow together not just as scholars, but as a community. We are only halfway through — and we cannot wait to see what the second half holds.

A new journey in healthcare begins. 👏

Today, we welcomed the second cohort of students into Biola University’s M.S. in Occupational Therapy program during orientation at Biola! These future occupational therapists are preparing to serve others through compassionate, Christ-centered care while gaining hands-on experience in a hybrid program designed for flexibility, excellence and accelerated career preparation.

Occupational therapy helps individuals overcome challenges in daily life, empowering them to live with greater independence, purpose and well-being — and Biola’s MSOT program equips students to integrate both faith and practice as they pursue meaningful work in healthcare.

Congratulations to Biola’s engineering seniors on completing their yearlong Senior Capstone projects, showcasing the culmination of their hard work, innovation and engineering skills. 🎉

This year’s projects included an O-Drone, water desalination system and smart greenhouse. Mentored by Professor Curtis and guided by professional industry consultants, students developed real-world solutions designed to serve both the Biola community and communities around the world.

The water desalination system also received first place in the Life Giving Water International 2025-26 Student Design Challenge. Congratulations to our students on this outstanding achievement.
