Marist College Student Involvement

One of many aspects that I look for in school is the cultural appreciations and value of individuals. My intended major is an International Studies, which requires me to broaden my views and think beyond what we see. So when I was looking through the schools, the George Washington University definitely captured my attention. The George Washington University is one of the most diverse school in the United States and encourages many students to join the community. I was very thrilled to see the cultural events and volunteer activities are the priorities in school, because I always look out for an opportunity to help the community. I am more than willing to be part of the Nashman Center and serve for others.

I believe Marist is a good match for me because it offers many it offers an excellent business program. The student activities that are offered are another reason why I’d like to go to Marist. I’m interested in the business club especially and by being involved in that club I believe it would lead me in successful path in my career. The trips the clubs takes to New York City interest me because by seeing the companies their I’d have more knowledge of what real life business in the career I choose looks like. The average classroom sizes are relatively small, which not many colleges or universities offer and I think that it very important in order to get the best education possible. The small size provides me with a better learning opportunity

The Suny Stony Brook Honors College would be a perfect fit for me for a wide array of reasons. Even though I may not seem like a suitable candidate for this program by being part of this program I will gain the extra motivation to work harder at my work. The Honors College provides its students the opportunity to participate in research at its highest level. This is very important to me because in High school I did research at a university and this helped me learn a great deal about the topic and by doing research in Stony Brook I can better understand my major. Also in the honors college these students are given the chance to be close with the faculty. This will greatly give beneficial to me because it will help me learn much better when I

As a transfer student from Pasadena City College, I struggled to adapt to the fast paced quarter system in my first year at Cal Poly Pomona. Lacking of confidence in my communication skill, I did not try to get involved on campus because of my sense of insecurity and the fear of getting embarrassed. However, after spending two quarters and having a comprehensive knowledge of the available resources on campus, I decided that it was the time for me to push my boundaries and to challenge myself to get involved on campus as much as I could to train my soft skills.

A gathering of individuals that tries to impact open strategy on the premise of a specific regular intrigue or concern called interest group. When people get disturbance, they are more likely going to create new form of interest group. We also did the same thing when our college increased our tuition cost. We have created the group which we call National Organization of Collegiate American Students Needing Help (NOCASH). Our motive was to persuade the congress, college administration or board of the college member to reduce our tuition cost, so we can easily afford our tuition fee. We understand we do have a lot of obstacles to achieve this goal, especially when we are grass root interest group. We know we cannot hire special lobbyist to lobby

I wanted to attend Marist College for their excellent work opportunities and rigorous Computer Science program in which Marist is in partnership with IBM. It also helps that the Poughkeepsie campus has a picturesque view of the Hudson River Valley and that I’m not too far away from home.

As an institution, Marist College has partaken in several social change movements. Students activists at Marist introduced The Marist Unity Project as an event to encourage communication and support within the college community, especially after the results of the presidential election. This movement included students writing positive messages on sticky notes and posting them on a wall. Everyone was also encouraged to share their valuable thoughts to others as a method to engage in an open dialogue between the students, faculties, and staff members. This effective project continued with a peaceful Unity March from the campus to the City Hall of Poughkeepsie. This march further emphasized the significance of unity and equality on all college

SPPV (1949) focuses on the education of a student being the responsibility of the student but responsibilities of student affairs professionals in coming to the forefront of the education process (Carpenter, 2011). SPPV (1937) focus on the student as a whole person including physical condition, relationships, vocational skills, emotional stability, and moral and religious values (ACE, 1937). However, SPPV (1949) was written shortly after the end of World War II and the authors seemed to focus more on democracy and the change in student population at the university level (ACE, 1949). After World War II many of the returning veterans took advantage of the GI Bill and now student affairs professionals were dealing with a more

It was about two years ago that I first heard of Macalester College. One of my schoolfellow that has been a Mac student for a year told me about the life and studying experience for the past year. That was the time that I began to like this school, for its diversity in studying and high-quality life experience. One of the reasons that I want to go to America for college is that I want to learn more expansive knowledges and to learn more about people from different countries to broaden my horizon. Macalester s known for its large international enrollment and has one of the highest percentages of foreign students in the United States, which is really good for me to join . Also since English is not my native language, I have been

I thoroughly enjoyed this portfolio. I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Pi Chi Chapter here at Stockton University. This was not only a campus activity with my chapter, and the Stockton Community, but it was an international community service project for the sorority in itself, which has over 283,000 members. The community service project included all members of the sorority to turn in 1 backpack to the sorority to be donated to children who were unable to receive school supplies, for whatever issue, where their parents were unable to afford school supplies. I was fortunate enough to see one of the schools that Alpha Kappa Alpha donated to which was a school in Camden, and which is a place where poverty is extremely high. To turn in my backpack, my chapter and I attended North Atlantic Regional Round-Up where about 400 backpacks were collected and over 4,555 school supplies were collected. Not only did Alpha Kappa Alpha help increase the quality of a child’s education, but they donated in areas where poverty is also very high, so that students could have the resources that they needed to succeed in school, which made me feel like I

I am interested in attending Alvernia for many reasons. I have heard many great things about it from my parents and at college fairs held at my high school. It is also a Catholic school, and I have attended Catholic school for 13 years of my life, so attending this school would be a comfortable environment for me. This school is also close to home, so this means I would be able to come home frequently and visit my family and friends, which is something that is very important to me Alvernia also has an excellent Physical Therapy program, which I would like to be a part of. This program can educate me and help lead me on a successful career path. Alvernia can help to shape me as a person and give me the right oppurtunities to prepare me for

The Asian American Student Union (AASU) is the fourth largest student-run organization at the University of Florida. Within AASU, there are a number of different sub-organizations and programs. AASU has served as the starting point for my involvement within UF and gave me exposure to different leadership opportunities that I would not have had otherwise. My involvement began my freshman year in the Freshman Leadership Program. I served on the public relations committee for the AASU Closing Ceremony and was the Committee Chair for the Dodgeballin’ for Babies Tournament, a fundraiser for the March of Dimes. In addition, I was selected for a scholarship to attend the East Coast Asian American Student Union Conference at Duke University. Since

In high school I wish I had been more involved allowing me to take pride in both my school, and my whatever I would be involved in. Although I was involved in Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), that was the only real commitment I had. With commitments like FBLA, I always felt more motivated to get up and push myself for more. Because of the way that involvement helps push me to get through my week, especially when I am having a hard time justifying getting out of bed in the morning, I would like to be more involved at Western. I have already taken the steps to get involved even before entering as a freshman. Throughout my senior year of high school, I had attended a few organization meetings that I was invited to by current WOU students.

Studying Abroad will give me the opportunity to study in a foreign nation and take in the allure and the culture of a new land, learning about my major in a different context as well as learning another nation's culture and

Student personnel point of view encompasses the student as a whole. The concept of education is broadened o the student’’s well rounded development- physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually as well as intellectually. (sppv) Student affairs not only emphasize on academic excellence but to shape each individual as a unique human by providing a holistic learning and living environment. Student Affairs professionals play a pivotal role in the development of the students. By applying different theories in student development, they can foster student learning to help them shape their identity. Student affairs staff members must view themselves as educators to refute the belief that learning is held only in the classroom. (contested issue, 29). Learning does not only occur in the classroom but through out of class activities as well. Student affairs staff should talk about student learning and development to enhance the multiplicity of growth areas for students in higher education. These learning and development experiences do not simply happen to students. They happen with their active involvement. There are numerous branches of fields in student affairs that attend to the unique needs of each individual. Residence Director trains Residence assistance to cater to the needs of first year students who are new to the college environment. RA plays a major role of introducing the life of college through building relationships and community to help them develop their sense of
