The allurement to Hofstra come in a myriad of ways that make it a top college and a prospective place to apply. It is the largest private college on long island, New York, which is beautifully situated on a 240-acre campus. The thing I love about Hofstra is the dedicated faculty and the way they aid Students and make themselves available to everyone. The student faculty ratio 14:1 shows the personal attention devoted to students. In the past few months, they have reached out to me and helped me in the most cooperative manner. You can almost feel the love resonating from the campus. The wide range of majors and minors that are offered on campus – 140 undergraduate programs – gives the sophomores a variety of programs to choose from while shaping

There are three schools students may have an interest in, these colleges are: Cal Poly Pomona, San Diego State University, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The information a student could research are graduation rate, admission rate, jobs out of school, curriculum, greek life, and the student to faculty rate. With the curriculum set at each university, many courses are offered to potential students. After one earns a degree, based on a specific curriculum, schools try to help one student get a job once that pupil have graduated. In the upcoming paragraphs one student could participate on campus: the fun in engaging in greek life, or how in class, the student to faculty ratio may affect a student 's learning. By gathering information

One undergrad student who is now a senior, Cassandra Skinner, tells how her choice to attend an HBCU was difficult due to the misconception that these types of schools were “ghetto” or “ratchet”. But after her first semester, and being on the cheerleader squad, she realized that this is where she belonged, with “her

I would like to get a teaching degree from a university. The two universities that I really love are UNC Chapel Hill and Wake Forest University. When comparing UNC Chapel Hill to Wake Forest I find they are both similar, yet different. Looking at cost of tuition, the number of students, graduation rate, location, admission rate, room and board, financial aid, and flexibility for both universities it will help me decide which college I would most likely attend.

The University of Hawaii – Manoa was founded in 1907 and is the primary campus of the University of Hawaii System. This university is a popular academic destination of choice for students and faculty who want to live in an exotic location and take advantage of exclusive research opportunities. The University of Hawaii – Manoa is consistently ranked as one of the best educational values for students because of the quality programs and multicultural experience. The 320-acre University of Hawaii – Manoa is located outside of downtown Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu. There are over 150 undergraduate programs offered to students. The most popular majors include nursing, psychology, communications, accounting and tourism management. The universities’ most highly respected academic programs are marine biology and oceanography.

The Harris-Stowe State University began in the year 1857 after the St. Louis Public Schools decided to establish a school meant specifically for white students. Initially, the state named the school Harris Teachers College. The naming of the school was in regard to the honor of William Torrey Harris who served as a St. Louis superintendent of schools as well as the Commissioner of Education in the United States.in the year 1920, the university had the opportunity to offer a four-year bachelor’s degree for arts and education courses. Furthermore, the St. Louis school system established an educational system that trained black teachers in 1890, changing the university’s name to Stowe Teachers College. The latest name was on the honor of Harriet Beecher Stowe. In 1954, the Supreme Court under the case of Brown v. Board of Education ruled the integration of Stowe and Harris colleges to form one institution under a merger that saw the creation of Harris Stowe State University (Wetstein, 2010, p.16). Consequently, the university entered the state system of public higher education.

As a senior in high school the time has come when people begin to ask big and sometimes overwhelming questions like, “Where are you going to college?” and “What will be your major?” These questions, of course, lead to college visits and decisions. The two colleges that seem to meet my criteria are The University of Findlay and Ohio Dominican University. Both colleges have positive aspects, such as having the major that I am interested in as well as being close to family.  However, The University of Findlay seems to be a better fit than Ohio Dominican because it is closer to home and I am familiar with the campus and I grew up on this campus.

The Ku Klux Klan was formed as a social club by a group of Confederate Army veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee in the winter of 1865-66. The group adopted the name Ku Klux Klan from the Greek word "kyklos," meaning circle, and the English word clan. By 1944 the Ku Klux Klan had lost most of its influence and membership. It was revived during the Civil Rights era and continues today as a small organization that continues to stage demonstrations in favor of white supremacy and fundamentalist Christian theology. William J. Simmons, a former Methodist preacher, organized a new Klan in Stone Mountain, Georgia in 1915 as a patriotic, Protestant fraternal society. Then and Now: KKK membership peaked at four to five million in the mid-1920s; today there are an estimated 5,500 to 6,000 Klan members among roughly 100 groups. Although the Klan still reverted to burning crosses, torturing and murdering those whom they opposed, the organization became a powerful political force in the 1920s. This new Klan directed its activity against not just blacks, but immigrants, Jews, and Roman

Have you ever wondered how women became who they are today? Or maybe you’re wondering how did they do it? Well i’ll tell you how it all started with the 19th Amendment to the roles they played during the 1920’s then from there it lead to the fashion of what we call Flappers and then after the of the flappers stage it then lead to the new culture of the 1920’s.

The University of Texas at Austin claims that it has good justifications for its use of race in the admittance program. To provide evidence against Fisher’s claim of being unable to stand up to strict scrutiny, the University said that the Court had previously ruled that the “UT’s limited consideration or race was ‘necessary’ and narrowly tailored to UT’s compelling interest in achieving student body diversity” ("Brief of Respondents University," 2015). After Fisher’s case went to court the first time, the court was persuades that the need for having race as part of the holistic admittance program is not considered a quota because it “a search for students of unique talents and backgrounds who can enrich the diversity of the student body in distinct ways” ("Brief of Respondents University," 2015). The University conducted internal studies and was alarmed at the low rate of minorities attending classes, and is committed to improving the interracial relations by increasing diversity. The University believes that by promoting diversity it will break down long standing racial and ethnic stereotypes, as well as improving cross-racial understanding. They find that this is necessary because our society is still race conscious. Texas is in fact racially segregated within cities. I think that Santa Rosa may even have some segregation, with Roseland having a predominantly low-income Latino population the elementary schools are made up of entirely Latino children, and have poor

As a whole, the 1920’s was a symbol for social rebellion. Prior to the 1920’s, women were conservative in regards to how they dressed; most never showed any ankles or anything scandalous. During this time period, women began to now change. After watching several actresses in theaters act in movies, women began to act like the actresses that they watched. These women, called “Flappers,” drank, smoked, and dressed in what was scandalous back then. Women also rebelled against their traditional domestic roles. Before the 1920’s, women would just pretty much strictly stay at home or work in factories with poor conditions. During World War I though, women stepped up and had to work the higher paying jobs that the men worked, which opened many new doors to women. They now had jobs

Please accept this personal statement as a part of my application for the doctoral program in criminal justice starting the fall semester of 2016. The University of Southern Mississippi is my ideal location for the achievement of a doctoral degree. I would like to demonstrate my knowledge, experience, and research ability in the field of criminal justice and correctional studies. Having majored in the discipline as a former graduate student, I want to further my education to assist and promote future changes in criminal justice and correctional policy. I am looking forward to the opportunities your program has to offer and I believe my background and perspective in criminal justice will help enrich the program, as well.

By the 1900s things were looking up for college goers. College sought out to include women, blacks, and immigrants. But of course there were still restrictions for these minorities. Stated in an online article, “Black colleges remained restricted to grade-school and agricultural- or industrial-focused instruction with little college-level education offered. In addition to that women remained segregated and were expected to study "domestic science" or similar topics” (Background of the Issue, n.d.). Still at this time the goal was still not to obtain a college degree because people still had the notion that there was no point in getting a four year degree. At this time in the 1900s you could still have a successful life without one as well. By the mid-1900s colleges saw a major rise in student enrollments this time period fell between

Perhaps most disturbing was the revitalization of the Ku Klux Klan. By 1920 the once vanished KKK was established again as a devotion to “the maintenance of White Supremacy” and “100 percent Americanism” (Shi and Tindall 881). While the KKK is a symbol of racism and intolerance of African Americans, their hatred and bigotry directed at Catholics, Jews, immigrants, atheists, and other ostracized groups is often modulated. Imperial Wizard William J. Simmons once declared “It is a garbage can!...” in response to the suggestion that the United States is a melting pot of a collection of cultures and peoples (Shi and Tindall 882). The rise of white supremacy advocates was not groundless, but rather a form of backlash. The 1920s saw great advancements for African Americans. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was relentless during the 1920s in the fight for equality between races with notable cases such as Guinn v United States and Buchanan v Worley ( Shi and Tindall 867). The Harlem Renaissance, considered a celebration of African American culture, also took place during the 1920s. Literature, music, and art created all supported the pride in being African American. It was during this time that African Americans celebrated their creation of jazz and blues, both of which were embraced by American culture (Shi and Tindall 868). The social tensions of Americans were once again embodied in racial tensions as well as change versus stagnation exemplified by the contrast between having over four million members associated with the KKK in 1923 and legislature being passed to support the protection of African Americans (Shi and Tindall 882). This calls into question the rationality supporting the combat against

It was called the Tri-K Klub, and was modeled after and overseen by the WKKK. It had its own robes, hierarchy, and ritual. The girls declared the “Klan katechism of loyalty, obedience, selflessness, and Christian patriotism.” The WKKK ensured that the main focus of the Tri-K Klub was politics. Through this auxiliary, girls were shaped into perfect, moral young women who would easily become the next generation of women in the KKK. Much like the Junior Klan, the requirements of being in the Tri-K Klub were being a white, native-born Protestant, and showing an understanding of the Constitution (Blee 1991,
