The Chancellors of a university is the Senior Administrator, whose job description includes, but may not be limited to the responsibility for leading, and mentoring staff, faculty and the students.

On April 16, 2007 a student at Virginia Tech murdered and injured a large number of fellow students and faculty. Prior to the incident, he had displayed signs of violent thoughts and behavior to his instructors. As a younger child, he had also been troubled. However, at that age, he had received psychiatric help due to his parents’ involvement (Virginia Tech Review Panel). It is possible that if he had received help as an adult, this crisis could have been avoided. Unfortunately, the student’s…

I am writing you a letter in regard to the school’s dress code. I believe you have done a great job at fixing certain issues within the student body. But I also believe that these rules are and have always been too strict. There is a fine line between what is considered appropriate and what is not, and the majority of the time, what is considered an “inappropriate” outfit is merely someone's day-to-day Dressing style. For example, many of the young men that roam these halls enjoy wearing tank…

Rose D’Alessio: A Teacher Leader at Montevallo High To be a leader, a teacher must think as leaders do. Rather than asking , “What am I going to do?” leaders ask, “What is it I am trying to get others to do, and what reasons might they have for doing those things?” (Schlechty, 2002). This thinking model describes Montevallo High School’s October Teacher-of-the-Month, Rose D’Alessio. French teacher and reading intervention teacher are her “official roles,” yet she exercises considerable…

violations, and instances of institutional betrayal and courage. The faculty and administration who participated will also be surveyed, and their feelings of responsibility and competency in regards to understanding university procedures will be assessed. The information gathered will be compared to results from past studies conducted at the University of Oregon, as well as to a control group of Oregon State University students and faculty who have not experienced the same informational…

The struggle for survival in the United States has always been difficult for the poor and even more difficult for minorities. While each participant in the game of life is supposed to be guaranteed an equal chance to play based on the federal, state, and local legislation, that doesn’t always seem to be the case. Nevertheless education has the clearest legislated mandate. Public education is a free right. Even though laws are less clear on areas such a social welfare and economics, the evidence…

assessing their objectives in order to evaluate the effectiveness of their programs. This section will focus on teaching and student development practices that foster spiritual growth and the challenges associated with assessing spiritual growth. Faculty and staff members can facilitate spiritual growth through a variety of effective practices. One of the ways they do this is to embody a “living curriculum” through various “character chromosomes” such as humility, hospitality, incarnation,…

The Board of Trustees for San Pedro College (BTSPC) which includes two elected student members has met and voted to create a committee to oversee the present situation of low morale and the effect of low morale on the core mission of San Pedro College and to determine the best course of…

For a long time, nurses were unable to quickly disseminate patient information about previous episodes of care easily, and were unable to have all patients’ information at a click of a button. Not to mention that the provider’s orders were not legible and/or unclear, and that lead to related misinterpreted orders. Nurse’s staff will no longer have to waste time talking to the multidisciplinary team members about the patient’s status. But now, new technology has made this impossible takes…

This experiment made me realize that I would enjoy leading research. This experiment was different because it was the first time I had solely created a study from the ground up with a fellow student. We had a faculty advisor who guided us along the way but played a much less active role in the creation and cultivation of the experiment. This experiment was presented at the 34th Annual Mid-America Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference at Franklin College…
