Bart College has established itself as an institution grounded in the natural sciences. It maintains its focus of being environmentally conscience, by upholding its mission of creating leaders that will impact the world we live in. With that said, the board’s decision to incorporate Christian beliefs into its mission, has sparked an opportunity for remarkable change. Allowing the mission to guide the institution into endeavors not previously sought, provides opportunities for progression. The current financial condition that Bart College is experiencing is due to lack of growth in areas of enrollment, fundraising and partnerships. In addition to the lack of growth, the institution has a number of deferred maintenance issues that have negatively …show more content…
Adding this Christian viewpoint into the mission, provides all constituents with insight on how the institution will function moving forward. As the campus merges Christian faith into academics, a campus wide initiative, “Love of God, Love of Others and Love of Earth”, blends the institutions historical tradition with the faith focused community. Marketing for this initiative will be distributed throughout campus over the next thirty days. All student leaders and advisors have been asked to serve as ambassadors and participate in getting the campus involved. In addition, all student affairs professionals and professors are encouraged to discuss how this new initiative impacts campus; this will give them the opportunity to share ideas on how the institution can strengthen its presence. For example, groups can discuss the effect the “Green Movement” has on campus. Adapting to the new culture is a community effort. Having the full support of faculty, staff and students will make for a smooth transition. Encouraging student leadership allows students to have ownership of campus ideas and initiatives, while creating a better sense of
The NCAA allows Division II baseball programs to schedule a maximum of 50 games in a season, with a start date of February 1st. Erskine College is in Conference Carolinas which has 10 schools that field baseball teams. This means each school has nine weekends scheduled by the conference for a total of 27 games that start the last weekend of February. Each school is then responsible for scheduling the remaining 23 non-conference games however the coach sees fit. The most important part of a non-conference schedule is booking the open weekends prior to starting conference play. This will allow the team to get their conference starting pitchers on a schedule that will have them ready for the first conference weekend. The hard part in filling these weekends is that the Peach Belt and South Atlantic conferences start their conference schedule the second weekend

They say that first impressions are lasting impressions. Although it seems first impressions of other people are quite accurate, it can be misleading in cases such as in organizations and clubs. Many organizations are associated with stereotypes which could be the sole reason that contributes to the ‘first impression’. Church-based organizations such as Campus Christian Fellowship (CCF) have stereotypes; many of which are negative. Yet, actually participating in the organization, many will find the culture of the organization has a very pleasant aura that exposes some stereotypes that were ‘assigned’ to the organization are not true at all. CCF is an organization that is not restricted to a specific religious denomination and serving on the campuses of four colleges in North Carolina. The purpose of CCF is to “make disciples on campus who impact the world.” The culture of CFF greatly helps achieve the purpose in different ways. Because of the alarming number of stereotypes of church-based organizations, CCF refutes many misconceptions by managing the stereotypes by the aspects of their culture such as beliefs, traditions and behaviors.
A haunting topic that has been around the Calvin College community for some years now is the college’s library hours on Sundays. Ever since its foundation in 1876, Calvin College has its library close on Sundays primarily because of its derivation from the CRC denomination. The college, as a Christian institution strongly believe in “keeping the sabbath day holy” as stated in Exodus 20. And, as a higher education institution, the college believe in providing students with resources that are necessary for success while at the college and beyond (Calvin 1). They hold these beliefs equally, amongst many others, to be at the very core of their values as a Christian institution.
Grove City College is a private college in Grove City, Pennsylvania. The college would not complete Title IX compliance papers because the school did not receive any federal financial support directly and felt that it was not bound by Title IX. Even though the college itself didn’t receive federal money, some of the students who attended the college did. The Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOGs), now called the Pell Grant, was a program funded with federal money to serve aspiring student with the financial aid they need to attend college. From the Department of Education’s view point, the school was receiving federal money, indirectly, in the form of student tuition that was being paid with federal money through the BEOGs. If Gove City College didn’t comply with Title IX, the Department of Education threatened to “initiate administrative proceedings to declare the college as well as the students ineligible for federal funding, including BEOGs” (Anderson & Osborne, 2008).

First, we ask you to pray for the rich harvest among the students at Louisiana Tech, for our mission efforts among them to be fruitful and transformative, and for the provision of resources to maintain this mission work among them. Second, we ask you to be a part of this ministry by worshipping with us once a year, serving at Laid Back Lunch once a year, or getting to know one of our ministry interns to hear the story of God at work in their lives and through their witness. We also ask you to be an ambassador for The Wesley, sowing seeds by sharing the story of God and encouraging others to join us in our mission. We ask you to do this by inviting a friend to be a part of The Harvest Initiative each quarter (four times a year).

There are several services offered to the students of Kellogg Community College, with four of them being; The Bridge, Academic Advising, Counseling, and Tutoring. Academic Advising is one of the first processes of entering the college as the advisors steer you in the correct direction of your major and help you figure out what specific classes you need to take. While learning at the college, you have the opportunity to use “The Bridge”, which offers make-up and online testing as well as help with math, English/writing, and chemistry. While you have the convenience of The Bridge, you also have a great opportunity to sit down one-on-one with a tutor who will guide you in the right direction with whatever help you may need.
