Illinois State University Case Study

My eyes lit up as a saw all of the different clubs and organizations offered. I loved Quiz Bowl, Book Club, Dance, and Chess Club in high school and I would love to continue these in my college life. Furthermore, at Rensselaer I can pursue my personal interest in sustainability with like-minded students through Vasudha. I could quickly see that many people at Rensselaer share similar interests with me. This idea was further supported after my subsequent tour around campus. Students were studying outside or milling about in groups, but what drew my eye was a group of students in vests and holding nerf guns. I watched as they prepared for battle and then took off after one another, and I had to stop myself from asking if I could join. The people I met and the students I talked to showed me the fun and encouraging side of a school that is known for its academics. Spending a couple hours on campus allowed me to see the fun, studious, and unique nature of Rensselaer and I felt right at

Here at Grand Rapids Community College everyone has something that they love about it. For example, l absolutely love that the campus is spread out and can walk anywhere downtown and can go to school right after. But there are a few things people would like to change. Some people would like to have walk ways with roofs

President Dalrymple and his wife, Dr. Tina Dalrymple hope that students can enjoy all the Quad has to offer starting in the fall of 2016 – but it won’t just be students who benefit. Anyone who spends time on campus to work, visit or rekindle memories has the opportunity to enjoy this unique outdoor space. That’s why faculty, staff, alumni, parents and friends of the college have the chance to show their support for the Quad Initiative. One of the most visible opportunities to get involved is by engraving a brick that will be placed near the Fountain or in the walkway of the Christian College

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

In this article the authors collaborated as scholars-practitioners, representing the nonprofit sector, the public sector, and university life, to understand the needs of campus practitioners in preventing and responding to NMPDU. As a result of a collaborative needs assessment, the authors recommend a number of key elements necessary for the strategic campus community.

As the Community Relations Support Team Leader, I helped with an initiative to bring composting and recycling to the Vinton, Iowa campus. I wrote an article to promote the initiative in the Vinton Eagle. This

Providing key information for this policy transition, we have conducted an analysis on both on campus and off campus

The place I chose to analyze it the ISU Central Campus, because of the variety that the Central Campus has to it. Through some research of Central Campus, I was able to understand why Central Campus was made the way it is now and what the main goals of Central Campus in the eyes of Adonijah Welch. The Central Campus also provides a road that wraps around Central Campus. Through this paper I will be discussing how Central Campus is supposed to serve individuals and how Central Campus could be designed differently. I will also discuss how Central Campus could be a solution to a wicked design problem.

Additionally, the student body has expressed several concerns about access to the following resources on the Beckley Campus. Engineering classrooms and laboratory buildings, Student Activities Center, and extended options for campus meal

As the deadline approached for me to make a final decision on the college I wanted to attend, I decided to choose Albany State University. I just knew in my spirit that Albany State was the best college for me! Before transferring, I attended Agnes Scott College-- a private all women's institution. I decided to withdraw from Agnes Scott because of the financial burden it placed on my family, and because I did not feel welcomed by the community as an African American heterosexual student. To help with my decision I asked myself, “what does Albany State offer that Agnes Scott does not?” then it hit me. I chose Albany State University because of its history, the campus and what it offers, and most importantly the nursing program.

The Colleen Barrett Center which “serves as the epicenter of innovation, entrepreneurship, learning agility, leadership, and problem-solving” presents several benefits and opportunities (Becker College). The first benefit is that the building itself helps to improve the image of the college to taxpayers and incoming students. The building is certainly a statement piece and helps to upgrade to Worcester campus. People are willing to invest in an organization they feel is successful, and the Barrett Center helps Becker to uphold this image. Another benefit is that it allows Becker to leverage their dual campus in an efficient manner. Currently, several majors are divided between the Leicester and Worcester campus. Having a few classes in this

Students will be transported: to and from school; to Davenport's Credit Island Park where they will learn about the history of island, test water quality, participate in learning activities about watersheds, stormwater, floods and drinking water; to Davenport's Water Pollution Control Plant where they will learn about how wastewater is treated and about the environmentally positive practices implemented at the facility; to Davenport's Compost Facility where students will acquire knowledge on the waste reduction benefits of composting and the environmental benefits of compost products; to Davenport’s Downtown where they will discuss some of the solutions to today’s stormwater issues as they view some of the City’s green infrastructure projects; and finally students will experience water through art at the Figge Art Museum, where attendees will be exposed to ideas about how

The topic of this paper is the use of public-private partnerships to address deferred maintenance needs on campus. Deferred maintenance is defined by Kaiser (2009) as “maintenance work that has been deferred on a planned or unplanned basis to a future budget cycle or postponed until funds are available.” This backlog of maintenance to physical plant is an issue for nearly all public higher education institutions. Kaiser (1996) contends that deferred maintenance constitutes a genuine threat to higher education institutions and their ability to accomplish their mission. The deteriorating conditions of facilities can put universities at a disadvantage vis-à-vis other regional institutions in regard to attracting and retaining students,

While this introduction was not extremely riveting due to the constant bombardment of college emails I received every day, it led me to look more into Rice University online. As I read through the website’s information, everything seemed to perfectly align with my version of the ideal university. I wanted a top school for research opportunities and engineering, yet a strong community that could make me happy for four years. My discovery of Rice continued with a virtual tour of campus and browsing through program-specific websites. I became very intrigued by the Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen and Rice’s numerous design teams. Additionally, the residential college system sounded perfect for providing a spirited student body that often is missing in private
