Faculty and administration coming together on one accord in support of an agreed upon mission is key to success. The article speaks about how the university of UNC worked together to come up with a classroom space problem they were having trying to accommodate the growing student population. The faculty worked on a schedule and the administration was able to provide funding needed to pay for technology upgrades rather than spending it on a new building, which resulted in saving the university $800,000 (Denneen, 2012). In addition, keeping in mind that each faculty member and administrator must share accountability and understand his or her role in this process or it can ultimately fall

A leader is often judged on their effectiveness. The more effective a leader is, the greater the following, and the better a business functions. In my six years of service as a member of the club staff at Topeka Civic Theatre and Academy (TCTA), I have had the privilege of working under a leader who, over time, has become one of my greatest mentors. Eddie Shirron, age 69, has been the Club Manager at TCTA since March of 2003. He oversees the operations in the “club” – the portion of the theatre that includes snack items, beverages, and overall hospitality for the patrons of the theatre. The club has approximately 85 part time employees, who Eddie supervises. After spending six years in the club, I have yet to meet an employee who did not have the utmost respect for Eddie.

Greetings! As a rising 8th grade student at Sun Valley Middle School in Indian Trail, I would like to describe the problems I have continued to view within the school system and provide ideas on how to fix them. First, I feel the curriculum should be altered.One could observe that a rife of the knowledge we learn in school will either be forgotten entirely later in our lives, must be relearned as a result of how long ago it was taught, or most commonly, the knowledge rattles around in our heads and lacks use.Take for example, the formula for calculating electric current. The vast majority people will not find themselves needing to calculate the wattage of an electrical appliance unless they are an engineer or electrician. Even if you were to have a job in either of those positions, you certainly would not be

Charles L. Hutchinson saw the Art Institute thru every move and building program from the time of its founding until the time of his death in 1924. The institution’s first headquarters were located in Pike's Building at 170 State St.[33] in the rooms of the recently defunct Chicago Academy of Design. They remained there until May 1 of 1882, when Hutchinson recognized that the growth of the organization required a larger facility that featured more artist-friendly accommodation. At that time the group relocated to rooms on the second floor of the D Battery Armory on Michigan Avenue[34] (located just north of where today the Allerton Building of the Art Institute is located). The drive for what was intended to be a permanent facility also began

Beer lovers soaked up some sun and enjoyed craft brew from across the state Saturday afternoon.

Nebraska Humanities Council was established in 1973 – later renamed to be Humanities Nebraska (2013). After speaking with a staff member of Humanities Nebraska, I learned a great deal more about the structure of the organization and how it originated. When the Nebraska Humanities Council was established in 1973, it started as a state-based affiliate through the National Endowment for the Humanities (L. Makowski, personal communication, September 10, 2015). Humanities Nebraska consists of two organizations that break up the types of work: Nebraska Humanities Council and the Nebraska Foundation for the Humanities. The former oversees programs, conducts projects, and awards grants. The latter advocates for the funding of Humanities

The members of the Richmond Regional Selection Committee very much enjoyed meeting you, and as follow up to today’s interview, we want you to know that we regret that we could not send more candidates to participate in the final stage of the selection process for the Jefferson Scholars Foundation at the University of Virginia. Each candidate nominated this year by our region’s schools possesses outstanding qualifications as scholars, leaders, and citizens. The committee experienced a very difficult time in the selection of candidates to compete in the final selection process in Richmond.

Walton Art's Center relied on a growth strategy to increase the organizations revenues. Walton focused on overcoming the downfall, by implementing internal growth through ticket sales (Todd & White, 2002). The idea was to increase revenue by changing the programs to something that would attract new and returning audience's (Todd & White, 2002). The growth strategy was a success over all; Although, there could have been a few changes made in order to increase revenue while saving costs as well. The low-cost strategy could have helped increase customer satisfaction. Furthermore, Walton could have focused on a low cost investment for ticket sales, while trying to find paramount performances to obtain new audiences. This could have helped provide

The Walton Art Center’s mission includes a dedication to educating the children and adults of the community in the arts. This goal created avenues for the center to practice a differentiation business strategy by offering various classes and events outside the normal programs commonly offered by a performing arts center. This created more opportunities to increase revenue rather than relying solely on ticket sales for a 3-night show. Scism also chose to practice differentiation by partnering with other production companies to bring programming to the center instead of assuming the cost on its own.

The Walton Arts Center underwent many changes including leadership and revenue. Anita Scism, formerly Senior Vice President, was appointed as President of the WAC after founder Bill Mitchell resigned due to a change in his family’s composition (Todd & White, 2002). Mitchell was deemed an effective leader that who became locally and nationally recognized for his success with the WAC. As a result, the arts center experienced a period of growth under the direction of Mitchell.

Mr. Lassiter, being the manager of sales and marketing, should have addressed the entire organization of the new system changes. He did not even address the full system conversion to several of his own staff members. Also, Mr. Lassiter anticipated Kovecki had studied the documentation, which he had not. Mr. Lassiter needs to prepare a special meeting with key members of staff
