Robert Khayat's Achievements

Holmes integrated Mississippi State and James Meredith integrated Ole Miss in the1960’s. Both were eventful times; however, Ole Miss received more attention due to President John F. Kennedy’s action to mobilize the National Guard to quell the three-day rioting. Since then, both university made great efforts to diversify their campuses. Both campuses have assigned buildings and monuments to recognize the daring strides these individuals had to take in the name of educational futures. Ole Miss dedicated a statue of James Meredith behind the Lyceum; on the other hand, Mississippi State dedicated a multicultural building and a scholarship for minority students in Holmes’

The original college was built in 1866-1867 and was named Western Maryland College, but had its name changed in 2002 to McDaniel College ("History”). There is a long process to name a building, it involves creating a proposal and taking it to the President’s Council and Board of Trustee’s to get approved. After a building receives a name there is also a long list of ways that the buildings get grouped into groups. For example, there are Art buildings; General Use buildings and many more that are available to the students on campus. A building has to be paid for by someone or in memory of someone, there are multiple ways a building can be classified, there are buildings on campus that are named after residents who had lived in them, in memory of people, and even named after presidents. One special building that I had the pleasure of researching was Elderdice Hall, which had been named after Hugh Latimer Elderdice Sr. Elderdice Hall is special to the college because it is made out of completely different brick than any other building on campus. The building houses many essential offices that allow the campus to function, such as the Registrar’s and Bursar’s Offices, and Alumni Relations offices. Mr. Elderdice himself was an interesting man he attended Western Maryland College and later became the President of the Westminister Theological Seminary. He stayed the president until the Westminister Theological Seminary moved to Washington D.C. and became Elderdice Hall. Overall McDaniel College carries a lot of history with each and every brick that was used to build all 70 buildings on the 160-acre campus ("World Ranking

James Meredith’s successful campaign to gain admission to the Univeristy of Mississippi, ‘Ole Miss’, and desegregate education in the state most resistant to integration of educational institutions, has become a crucial episode in civil rights history. Ole Miss transformed Mississippi politics and contributed to a cultural shift in the region, as well as invigorated local civil rights activists and those in neighboring states 1. The historic showdown between James Meredith and the

The faculty is entrenched in their ways, and change causes ambiguity and uncertainty. Moreover, the faculty in the organization feel uncertain about the new concepts presented by Dr. Ball to the deans altering their salaries and evaluations (Bolman & Deal, 2013, p. 31). The proposed changes create competition and unrest among the faculty and will shatter the business-as-usual campus conduct and job security. The dean's and faculty are grasping at the symbolic frame, defending their beloved academic lifestyle (Bolman & Deal, 2013, p. 248). The secondary problem in this case is support from the deans of the incentive program that will restore Weston University prestigious reputation as set by the board and developed by the president.

The history of our ancestors paved a positive image for our generation worldwide but, the major impact of all is knowing that majority of these special events occurred in Montgomery, Alabama and Alabama State University. The modern civil rights movement in Alabama cause a dramatic and unforgettable change that will be remembered throughout

Reading this article not only did it summarize FAMU’s history and presidential history for 130 years, but the major things going on in the world. From slavery, and opening of FAMU, which use to be FAMC to Civil Rights and Black Lives Matter movements. I’ve gained knowledge about my university. Not only is it the third college, but it’s the only public HBCU in Florida. FAMU use to be FAMC (Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College) due to poor funding. Something interesting that I have read was that they had what was called the “Great Fires of FAMU” from 1923 to 1924 where students angry from there former president Nathan B. Young was forced to departure office. Also after the Birmingham Buss Boycott with Rosa Parks in 1955 Tallahassee had

After Smith finished his schooling, he opened a small advertising agency in New York City called the Harlem Advertising Agency. This business was short lived because Smith moved back to Texarkana in 1929 following his father’s

The organizational culture and climate were both factors that seemed to be leading to the closings of the Culpeper and Hampton campuses and ultimately led to the closure of the Staunton campus. Looking at the organization in terms of management, the lack of communication appeared to be a contributor to its suffering. The parents, students and most shockingly, the faculty were all ill-informed by those running the institutions. While their focus seemed to be on comforting families and eliminating stress in these situations, they did not exchange honest and constructive information with them which resulted in a very hostile situation and left many of the students without schools. Not only did this affect the families of the students, but it also had a significant effect on the faculty, who were shocked by the changes. From the start, the organization had set a precedent that they were both community and achievement oriented. Consequently, the organization lost the name they had made for themselves because of their failure to communicate to those that invested their time and trust in the institution.

How does an oasis of green land, with little to no human interaction, transform into an environment filled with laughter, conversation, and a good ole southern fun time? This scenery can be seen every home game in and around the University of Mississippi`s Grove. The Grove is unmatched when compared to any other collegiate sporting event, because it brings together people of different races, political and religious affiliations, economic status, and sexual orientation, with an emphasis on having a good time. No matter if the Ole Miss Rebels football team wins or loses the game, there is always a winning atmosphere in the Grove. The University of Mississippi`s Grove has evolved into a cornerstone for growing racial diversity, because of its

As I was walking through the Memphis Health Sciences Park, I stopped at the base of the this interesting statue to rest for a moment when I noticed the brief engraving on it’s front. I quietly read it’s extremely brief history and never once did I conclude anything differently surrounding it until months later when it was featured on several local news stations. At that moment, I needed to know the exact history surrounding the Confederate General Lieutenant Nathan B. Forrest and why the city of Memphis has constantly

The new president of Antioch College, Mark Roosevelt offers free tuition and provides higher academic curriculum for students. They reconstructed and tearing down the old buildings on the campus. His plan is to make the college interesting and would gain more people’s attention. Eventually it would help the college to earn accreditation and someone would try to raise funds for the college or enrolled more students and have them to pay for the tuition.

Everyone already knows that Iowa State University is one of the most beautiful campuses in America, but what makes this particular campus stand out? What is Iowa State’s highlight,the tip of the iceberg. What comes to mind is the Reiman Gardens because although it is a small part of Iowa State’s campus, it is part of something much larger and complex that is usually hidden from the crowd. As a matter of fact, I believe most people do not even know that the garden exists. To explain the value of the Reiman Gardens, I will be focusing on the garden’s history, the role it plays in Iowa State, how it is connected to Iowa State’s mission statement, and how it pertains to Iowa State as a land-grant university.

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

I have only attended the college for 2 months, yet I have plenty to speak about. Recalling to my first day, my most fervent issue comes to mind. The parking situation. I don’t mind walking an extra five minutes to get to class in the morning, I really don’t. However when it rains or snows, there are even fewer spots in the lots. Having to walk the extra five minutes in rain or sleet feels like an eternity. Putting it into perspective, I arrive around 8:40 AM. There are probably students who arrive past 9 AM that have to perform the snake-like movements of winding through the lanes. Desperately searching for a spot, only to have it taken away before their very eyes. My suggestion, either add another lot, especially for staff. I consistently

Larry Ellison claimed that “He had to create his own business because he knew he hadn’t the patience to work for anyone else” This stubborn attitude of his was the leading factor that caused him to drop out of college twice as a young adult. The first time Ellison dropped out of college was after two years of attending The University of Illinois at Urbana, Champagne. He then traveled to Berkeley to work as a programmer prior to re-enrolling in college at University of Chicago. However after dropping out a second time (after just one semester) in 1966 Ellison had no place left to go and returned to California. His return to California initiated his computer-related work for major tech companies. Ellison’s drive for success lead him to major CEO positions of large corporations. His employment at Ampex Corp., an audio and studio equipment company located in Sunnyvale, CA, was where he met the two other men, Edward Oates and Robert Miner, who would become his business partners in the founding or Oracle Corporation (Stone).
