Fresno Pacific University Case Study

Norfolk State University, a historically black university, is rich in history and deeply rooted in the south eastern Virginia region. NSU is the only HBCU founded in the midst of the great depression. Since, NSU has grown tremendously over the last eighty years. Now, the campus spans 134 acers and has 40 buildings, four of which were newly built as of 2011. Through partnerships with neighboring universities, community organizations and business vendors, Norfolk State provides vital services to this area. It is a pristine center of education and a hub of black excellence and achievement. Needed now, more than ever, is a reflection on NSU’s political, cultural and social relevance in 2015.

Two specific groups that I identify with as part of my decision to attend Columbia Southern University is based on my family and work. As an individual my choice to attend is based on my own desire to achieve a higher education in order to obtain a job that is satisfactory to the life and goals I have mapped out for myself. By having a job for which I have specifically attended school for, it will allow me to get and sustain a career conducive to my own happiness and prosperity. While my own individual choice to attend school is great, I have a family that encouraged me greatly in this decision. Both my mother and father, between the two, have a Master’s degree in criminal justice, and a Bachelor's degree in paramedic studies. Naturally

The fact that part of the UChicago campus is literally in the neighborhood, along with its access to parks, lakefront, and educational options, all can make it a desirable place to live. Missing from Woodlawn is a “sense of place”, as it is lacking commercial vitality and density that both supports it and animates the streets. Similarly, beyond the campus and parks, which while critical to the neighborhood, are removed from where people actually live, there are few public places that contribute to civic life in Woodlawn.

It's May of my senior year and part of our High School and Beyond Plan is to participate in a weeklong job shadow in a job field that suits our interests. Originally agriculture was the path I had chosen. However, I had decided to select a job shadow in the healthcare field. You see, in November of my senior year, my great-grandmother passed away. Tragically, she had fallen outside and was not found until later in the evening. The ambulance was called and I watched my parents, neighbor & teacher rush to the scene and attempt to save her life. As dramatic as this might sound it was the reality

Texas Christian University (TCU) located in Fort Worth, Texas is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), which is a denomination that values discussion, freedom of belief; and a concern for all individuals. TCU has a nursing school, Harris College School of Nursing. There are nursing associations that the school offers, however, there is not a religious group that the nurses can come together and reflect in spiritual ways. There are 24 religious organizations listed on TCU Religious and Spiritual Life (2015), though, a student nurse does not have religious way to connect that is central to his/her type of need. The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life (RSL) would be responsible for adding Nurses Christian Fellowship (NCF).

This paper analyzes the case study of Valley Community College (VCC), which is one of the oldest community colleges in the nation. Since its inception in 1910, it has grown and expanded to over 25,000 students, and a faculty of 1,500. The largest student population consists of 38% Latino, followed by Whites, Asian Americans, African Americans, and Native Americans. The College is now operating at maximum capacity and has a waiting list for each location. In order to meet the growing demands of the community, temporary classrooms have been setup in a large portable trailer. Due to the financial pressures of the institution, a new building is currently not an option. In addition, many of the faculty members and administrators are expected to retire, which is affecting faculty and staff workloads as well as tension of program accreditations. These concerns are impacting the entire campus morale.

Palm Beach State College (PBSC) is a local, public college that provides access to education for students of diversified ages and income levels. Although PBSC is growing the company and adding a fifth campus, the retention and completion rates are stagnant. Our retention and completion rate of First Time in College students (FTIC) has not increased over the last year.

The investigation of Hartnell College shows that faculty involvement through active participation in various councils and Faculty unions helps the college to become accountable to mission and goal. Hartnell College’s dispute with its Faculty Union over the college’s budget is an example of both the college administrative personnel and Faculty Union representatives holding the college accountable by reviewing and creating budget reports portraying to the usage of funds for student success. With the lack of information we found in regards to Miami Dade faculty involvement, we would hope that similar results would be present in the college operations to those present in Hartnell College.

Troy University has grown and it needs to be able to sustain that growth. In order to do that it needs to resolve the issues it encounters along the way, one prominent complaint among the student body and professors is the need for improvements with the parking availability at the university. I believe the university will fail the students and faculty by not providing anything and focusing on other areas instead. The university is focused more on improving the revenue flow than the experience of students and faculty that provide its revenue.

I think it is hard to tell whether Carroll University, as an institution, encourages a successful learning environment. I am certain that this is an institutional goal for Carroll. However, when we look at college level education, I get the sense that professors tend to have a little more freedom (and resources available) when it comes to teaching. This may make it easier for a professor to adjust a class/classroom as described in this week’s reading (Hannah) in order to meet the needs of his/her students. This, in my mind, makes a successful learning environment much more dependent on the instructor rather than the institution itself (although the institution can certainly have an effect on the learning environment). Overall, though, I would

2. In San Luis Obispo Ca, Cal Poly’s Campus on the corner of Mountain Ln and Klamath Rd. there is the “North Mountain Lawn”. Located between the dorm buildings Whitney and Palomar the open grass area has several trees scattered. There is a gray bench located on the side of the lawn where the Palomar building is. Approximately 50 feet south west of the bench is the location of the tree.

Jackson State University has been hit hard with cash reserves dwindling down $33 million dollars in four years. Institution of Higher Learning (IHL), the governing body of Mississippi’s universities hired a firm to investigate JSU’s finances. The investigation confirmed that the institution is broke and only has one week of cash reserves in the bank. After such as crisis, JSU’s President Carolyn W. Meyers resigned and former U. S. Secretary of Education, Rod Paige was named the new Interim President of Jackson State University. Dr. Paige has been charged with the responsibility to getting the institution’s finances back on track. After arriving at JSU, he soon realized that the university’s financial problem was much larger than just
