Campus

for college students is the cost of food offered on campus. Some students could argue that the cost of food is too high, and that the quality of the food does not match the costs of the food. Evidence from Nate Nkumbu’s article “Campus food costs around the state” shows that students are paying too much for food and are not receiving the quality that they are paying for eating on campus. One of the ways that students pay for their food on campus is through meal plans. Meal…

complete when I begin to prepare to administer a standardized test on my campus. I learned in my ED5123 was to look at the information that the state standardized tests gives back to a campus and use this data to help improve certain struggling campus demographics. I learned the true importance of making sure these standardized tests are taken by every student and the information we can gain by…

longer will the school have to worry about the extensive lines that cause troubles for students, the availability of space for students to sit at, or coming up with more choices for lunch. Wise, mandatory regulations that could be applied in the “Off-Campus Lunch” policy would include, but are not limited to: A & B Honor Roll senior students with no more than three tardies and three absences per 6-weeks. These regulations not only encourage senior students on striving for great academic grades,…

how campuses lay out strategic campus plans to ensure that costs are contained, but to also ensure that campuses look great to attract students, but to also remember that there are infrastructures that need to be in place to also preserve the campuses, but also modernized them based on the goals and mission of a university. I agree that a well-functioning campus is the result of a careful planned and keen managed plan (Neuman, 2013). It is very important for campus administrators to realize…

The safety of young women on campus has come into the forefront of discussions after concerns that several universities mishandled sexual assault allegations. High profile incidents at Saint Mary’s University, the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria drew widespread outrage around the normalization around the rape culture that exists on campus. It highlighted the insecurity that exists on campus and the lack of formal mechanisms to deal with the problem…

those experiences have changed them to become better and to think about different topics throughout the world. I have learned to be open-minded to what is happening now but also being open-minded to all opportunities. Through some of my experiences on campus, I have become more open-minded through discussing current events and have learned to develop my pre-conceived notions of a certain individual judging them based on their actions rather than what they appear to be. As someone who is an…

10 Observations/Questions 10 Generalized: 1. Observation – Some trees around campus have tags on them stating the species of tree. Question – Why does Manchester tag the trees? Does the tagging of trees affect the trees at all? 2. Observation – One of the trees between Oakwood and the Administration building has had its branches cut/trimmed for aesthetic purposes, I assume. Question – How does the tree respond to this? Can those branches grow back? Or will it remain a nub? 3. Observation –…

There is a palpable, hushed feature to the daily academic hum on College Hill Road. As far as I can recall from faculty meetings, student newspapers and random conversation, very little has been discussed or done about those who toil daily for us on campus. There are town hall meetings about important issues like Diversity, alcohol abuse, Title IX requirements and so on, but I don’t believe I have ever heard about a town hall meeting called to discuss the conditions of work of those who serve us…

Symbols and Rituals in Higher Education: Davidson County Community College How do leaders use symbols and rituals to influence organizational culture on your campus? To begin the discussion of symbols and rituals in higher education and formulate an analysis of how they impact organizational culture, the reader must understand the working definition of that culture. As noted in the readings, many definitions exist, consequently for the scope of this paper we will take the lead of Kuh and…

cultural expressions, and socio-economic experiences of a borderland community. In the U.S. there is so much unique diversity and I am going to prove this using the CSU Long Beach campus. My group and I from my history class took a fieldtrip around campus to analyze the different cultures and people that interacted on campus as well as one event that we attended. Throughout class we also read many stories on cultural borderlands such as Imagined Communities, written by Benedict Anderson and…
