Morgan State University Student Regent Mission Statement

Without apprehension of the task ahead of her, Quineshia served as the Student Affairs Committee Chair functioning as the liaison between students and faculty working to create a dynamic student environment. Quineshia would adequately gather the wants and needs of the student body and relay to her committee the plan of

Movement of Change: An analysis of Turning Points by former UT Presidents William Cunningham and William Powers Jr. As a first-year freshman, I often get asked what my major is and what I plan to do with it. I often reply, “Neuroscience, and a Physician Assistant” but what they do not know is that in the back of my mind I know that my plans will eventually change and I will end up performing what truly feeds my passion. This whole concept of what I am supposed to be doing and the uncertainty in my future is what drove me to this lecture. In this lecture series, I discovered what changed The University of Texas at Austin’s history through Cunningham’s top 10 key points and William Powers’ notable decisions that got him to the high chair.

On a more serious note, many students complained that between classes and work, there was no time to enjoy the activities available on campus. Additionally, students felt that the administration did not care for them or consider their interests. For example, during an interview about the school with the U.S. News & World Report, one student stated that ‘“They don’t really listen to what we want. There’s pretty strong feelings among students that they are not as important as they should be. The college is run on donations.

All students, faculty and community

On Monday, November 1, the University of Maryland was announced as a “Best for Vets” college by the Military Times for its commitment to its students of service. What makes UMD such a prosperous environment for its students of service? UMD Veteran Student Life has been able to create a family-oriented network on campus. Coordinator of Veteran Student Life Brian Bertges stated, “Our mission is to enhance their mind, body, and spirit, as they transition in-and-out of college.” Referring to them as “non-traditional non-traditional” students, the department realizes that these vets come to UMD with a variety of life experiences.

In Loco Parentis Restricting Student’s Autonomy The Latin phrase “in loco parentis,” which in Latin directly translates to “in the place of a parent,” refers to American universities controlling their student’s actions through discriminatory restraints (Lee 2011, 66). Universities and colleges during the 1960s were regulating student’s personal lives through administrative rules and would take disciplinary action, like expulsion, if broken. “From the mid-1800s through the late 1950s”, courts supported universities acting “in loco parentis” in respects to their students (Lee 2011, 66). Higher educational intuitions where not necessary acting how parents would; they where not honoring students for their academic achievements, but rather they

This letter is being submitted as recommendation on behalf of Dr. Cynthia Calhoun and her candidacy for the position of Executive Director of Student Retention and Graduation at Southwest Tennessee Community College (STCC). I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Calhoun for several years as a colleague. Dr. Calhoun’s resume’ speaks with ostensible volume and clarity for itself and is a testament to her longevity, consistency, and ambition. With over two decades of experience working in the community college arena, as a faculty member and an administrator, her accomplishments and contributions to academe are voluminous.

As Rutendo Gambe said in the video, “The future is within us,” and I want to improve the world for the better. Wellesley encourages its students to follow their passions. Consequently, I’d be able to implement large-scale projects to help others, such as building garden plots in refugee camps that lack food resources or holding free sports classes in low-income neighborhoods to encourage

Service, scholarship, character, and leadership are the four pillars that make the National Honor Society stand out from other organizations. Espousing these pillars, I find giving back to the community very important, which I show through my service with my church, ELO tutoring, and NHS activities including the OGES Holiday Shoppe and FHS tours. As an officer of the NHS, I will ensure we incorporate a variety of service opportunities to maintain this crucial aspect of our organization. My scholarship is displayed through challenging myself academically with a schedule containing a majority of AP courses, and involving myself in other honor societies including Mu Alpha Theta and Science Honor Society. With a commitment to learning, I feel

The open campus policy allows select or all students to leave campus during the lunch period. Currently, ASFM has a closed campus policy, where students are not allowed to leave the campus during school hours. This is something that was removed in 2010 for several reasons since it affected the school in certain areas. The open-campus policy is something currently allowed in many high schools and colleges all around the world, which helps the institutes but at the same time affects them in some ways. The American School Foundation of Monterrey should maintain its current closed campus policy as it prevents students from skipping school or arriving late, protects their health and safety, and being unsupervised can lead to bad decisions and actions.

Analysis of Mission Statement The James City School District is located in James City, North, Dakota, a community of roughly 16,000 residents. The community is homogenous with roughly 95% of its citizens identifying themselves as white. The school district is the ninth largest school district in the state and serves 2,300 students. The district consists of five elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and an alternative school (AdvancEd, 2013).

Identifying services that predict student academic success and persistence among TRIO student is important for staff and higher education leaders at Johnston Community College. Jones and Watson (1990) noted that retention or persistence issues are critical to institutional planning and funding. Planning and funding have been greatly affected by the student retention rates. The findings from this study will also help to provide pertinent information on how to improve services that foster student success and leadership skills. This study is significant in that it will examine the factors that critically influence academic success and persistence of students enrolled in the TRIO program at Johnston Community College in Smithfield,

Unfortunately, many student leaders struggle to find a sense of moral compass and drive to achieve anything they might desire as little as obtaining their diploma or large as bringing social change to a struggling community. Not only does spirituality help the individual students but it can also benefit the university by helping completion and improving retention rates. Many students drop out or transfer because a feeling of defeat, no support from home, or overwhelmed by the many changes and challenges of a becoming an independent young adult. Student affairs professionals can obtain the knowledge and skills to help ensure students have an equal opportunity to flourish academically, personally, and professionally during their collegiate experience and beyond.

With a 10:1 student-faculty ratio, 400 clubs, and 130 million dollars donated to research, Notre Dame is undeniably a premier university. However, what makes the University of Notre Dame stand out in my eyes cannot be translated into a statistic. Nurturing environments not only inspire personal growth, but through collaboration, the greatest successes are achieved—a perspective Notre Dame understands and encourages. My cousin, a current senior at the University, attests that the students at Notre Dame are not competitors, but rather allies who push one another to succeed.

The public sphere is unique, as it pertains to many different organizations. Ultimately, public sphere can be defined as, “crucial to identifying the public good and to shaping both public and private strategies for pursuing it,” as scholar Craig Calhoun (2011) explains (p. 9). As it relates to The University of Southern California, public sphere describes the shared social reality of the school’s staff and students alike, in addition to the values and purpose that it instills in all of its members. In order to gain the admission necessary to attend such a highly acclaimed university, certain personal symbols and their agency must be emphasized to align with the values of the college and its designated admissions office. These were determined
