Prof. Clyde Rivers, Dr. Robert Ornales, and Little Battleaxe Ornales

Two international media organizations create partnership to develop a biblical media and entertainment education system.  Founder and President of Elite TV and SOG Media, Dr. Robert Ornales, a renowned music and entertainment guru, has partnered with Prof. Clyde Rivers, Founder of Dr. Rivers Media. Together they realize people have not been trained in solid ethical principles as outlined in the bible as a guide to excellence.

Prof. Rivers says, “We want to teach the next generation how to engage in media and entertainment from a Godly perspective that builds up and gives back to society.”

Both of these organizations feel there must be a change in order to bring good back to media and the entertainment world. This training system will be completed within the next couple of months and we look forward to its release. It’s time to change the world.

He is connected all over the Indian nations and everyone has a great deal of honor and respect for him. We had different tribes from all over North America at this function of honor. It is great to see a man of unity in the global community. I have great hope in the tribal nations. There’s great leadership from the President of the Navajo Nation, Dr. Bee Shelly and it’s Christian leaders. The Navajo Nation is made up of 60% born again Christians.”

On-Line Education and Globalization

                       International Professors Dr. Clyde Rivers and Dr. Michal Pitzl

The effects of Information Technology (IT) are all around us and the possibilities created by advances in technology are expanding every day, even for developing nations. If protesters in Cairo, Egypt can organize riots using social networking, colleges should be able to bring their education information through on-line capabilities. United Graduate College and Seminary is organization that is pioneering the concept of on-line education in the continent of Africa. Internationally accredited by Worldwide Accreditation Commission of Christian Education Institutions (WWAC), a multi-national association dedicated to promoting Christian education, United Graduate College and Seminary aims to bring positive influence through knowledge to every learner in the world.

Prof. Michal P. Pitzl has been teaching on-line distance learning seminars for United Graduate College and Seminary on the continent of Africa for several years. “I never really understood the power of on-line education until I came to Africa. In America receiving an on-line education has become as common as checking your email, but globally, education is a luxury for 80% of the population. On-line education is the key to globalization,” states Prof. Pitzl.

With any new concept comes change. “Being one who has experienced the traditional education system as a student and an education, nationally and internationally, I understand the power of systems and the nearly unfathomable possibility to change systems. But, the days of expensive tuition are leaving, and overhead costs of going to a traditional campus to receive an education are no longer necessary,” Says Prof. Pitzl. “Making education more accessible to the world should be viewed as a positive change, if we are looking out for the best interests of humanity.”

Seminary Chancellor Creating A Biblical Worldview

What kind of education can help bring lasting change and solutions to real world problems? Past and present systems of education have and are suffering from a lack of positive results and limit access to the majority of the population of the world. The High School drop out rate in fifty major inner cities in America is 51%. In 2005, 72 million primary age children in developing nations were not able to attend school. These are not fruitful statistics.

Making education relevant to the needs of the people is what the world needs today, and teaching people to be problem solvers is what is relevant to the people. People need jobs, not theory and school fees. This is what Prof. Michal P. Pitzl finds as she travels and teaches internationally. Prof. Pitzl is the Chancellor of Education Development Worldwide for United Graduate College and Seminary, an on-line seminar that is pioneering on-line education internationally. She says, “A Biblical worldview is one that teaches people how to help people. If people can discover the tools of how to solve real problems, they will create peace and productivity in their homes, their communities, their countries and the world. A Biblical Worldview teaches that everyone is created with a purpose, and it is our vision at United Graduate College and Seminary to help people discover their unique gifts.” Through practical projects and creating personalized programs based on the needs of the people, United Graduate College and Seminary teaches its students how to think, not what to think.
