Short Story Of Baldwin Wallace

My experience as an intern at 3M consisted of carrying out laboratory research to ensure the safety and durability of the large-scale manufacturing medicine filter, Zeta Plus™. This experience advanced my ability to collaborate, think ahead, apply what I have learned in Chemistry and Mathematics, and increase my expertise in computer software. My current position in Community Relations at Travelers entails for me to communicate with and manage volunteer opportunities for over 3,000 employees, in addition to connecting Travelers with non-profit partners, event planning, and serving as a liaison in Saint Paul for my remote manager and team in Hartford, Connecticut. This position enables me to not only exercise and expand my communication and technical skills, but also allows for me to learn about myself. And lastly, as a Resident Advisor at the University of Minnesota, I have been able to serve as an academic, social, and personal resource for forty first-year students. As an RA, communication and time management have been at the heart of my success. As a junior studying Marketing and Computer Science, my interests lie within the space of sales marketing, technology and international business, and I strongly believe that Morgan Stanley will allow for me to expand my knowledge in these areas. I sincerely hope to continue this learning process as an intern this coming

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) are experiencing low retention rates with first generation college students. The students are not graduating within a four to six year enrollment period, and or are not returning after their freshmen year. As the American workforce looks to colleges and universities to fulfill the workforce pipeline with educated diverse workers, HBCUs are in the spotlight to produce qualified minority graduates. Moreover, HBCU’s are looking to refine their methods of inclusion and buy-in, this will in-turn manifest a higher level of retention amongst first generation college students.

One threat CCM faces is the twenty other county colleges and private colleges that it competes with. As more people are turning to community colleges for a more cost effective education, CCM must find ways to differentiate itself from its competitors. Another threat the institution faces is an economic recession in the Unites States. Alan Gula, Wallstreet Daily’s Chief Income Analyst, stated in his May 18, 2015 article titled “U.S. Economy Edges Closer to Recession” the U.S. economy is contracting and may result in another recession (Gula). Recessions lead to layoffs, liquidity dries up, and credit becomes scarce. The County College of Morris must plan how they will serve current and potential students if Gula’s predictions are

First they reveal that there is not enough information available for prospective students to research possible colleges to decide if that institution would be beneficial for them (Pg.220, Para.1). They proceed to document several efforts that attempt to solve this problem, such as the College Scorecard and PayScale college rankings (Pg. 220, Para.3). However they claim that these efforts are not enough and more must be done. The authors insist that in addition to providing information, students need assistance with increasing the ROI of their college education. They suggest that colleges should work to ensure that more of their students graduate (Pg.221, Para. 3). Also, students should have help discovering how much financial aid they are eligible for, as they often underestimate the amount they could earn (Pg. 122, Para. 2). Owen and Sawhill reveal that future college students are often confused when it comes to choosing an institution and finding help to graduate and pay tuition. Therefore they use pathos to connect with their reader’s compassion for these students. Suggestions on how to assist these students are offered. Overall the argument is strengthened as the authors unveil certain needs of students through

In 2000, the Board of Ursinus College, raised its tuition from $19,331 to $23,460. This turned out to be a 17.6% increase. Surprisingly, the tuition increase proved to be a positive change for Ursinus College. The college received more than 200 applicants than its previous year (Brickley, Smith and Zimmerman, 2009, p. 110). Other regional institutions such as University of Notre Dame, Bryn Mawr College and Rice University also experienced a similar trend once they increased their tuition rates (Brickley, Smith and Zimmerman, 2009, p. 110). The president of Ursinus College deduced that the tuition increase affected enrollment rate (increased enrollment). She simply stated that “people don’t want cheap” (Brickley, Smith and Zimmerman, 2009, p. 110).

tuition at the University of Memphis. My family has taken several financial blows in the past few years. My father, Major Robert Kurtz was a engineer in the United States Army, the Memphis Housing Authority, the construction firm Tetra Tech. He was laid off four years ago, and money has been extremely tight ever since. My father has been working since the age of sixteen and it has been very difficult to witness him in the state of unemployment. He searched and applied for various positions but he was turned down repeatedly. A year ago he was hired as a sales associate at Lowe’s Hardware Store. This job encouraged his spirit and has begun to

• The speaker seems credible, based on her position as a daughter of an alumnus. But most things that were stated were mere opinions. And to me he friend who works in the admissions office has no credibility. She does not see everybody that comes to the admissions office. When is the last time you saw an admissions office with only one chair for one person. With that said, she is basing her statistic on the people that she handles, and not the school as an entire.

As students and parents are looking into colleges, their minds need to be open and free of biases. Sanford Ungar’s essay can help broaden the mindset of families, and even help make a decision to attend a liberal

When it’s time for students in deciding which college they are going to attend, they consider many factors that will go into their learning experience. They take in their housing, meal, and transportation plans, all of which excite students for their college experience. However, the major factor that is a make it or break it deal for many, is if they will be able to afford schooling at a college. Many students take year off or decide to never come back to school due to the fact that college is expensive, even community college. The lack of students from being driven to attend, affects the student population at college. However, if community college were to be free it will cause a more diverse environment for students, causing them to have a different outlook in college. A reporter for US News and World Report, Joanne Jacobs, publishes the article, “As He Promotes It, Some Question Obama’s Free Community College Idea”. Where she is able to provide evidence on encouragement of free tuition. She argues that “with a more diverse group of students, community colleges could gain political capital and the funding that goes with it.” A diverse group of students will help create a new atmosphere for students and help create the college experience they seek. More students who are driven to learn, can potentially lead to new clubs being made, events, gatherings, etc. Having free tuition at community college will not only benefit students academically, but socially as well; which is all part of the development of their character.

"Race-related reasons are important variables in college choice that have gone largely unexplored. Black undergraduate students attending an HBCU completed a questionnaire assessing their reasons for choosing to attend the university. Students also indicated by choosing an HBCU for reasons other than race,

Kris, a wife and a mother, worries about the increasing cost of higher education. She and her husband have a two year old daughter whom they are determined to send to college. They want their daughter to succeed in life, but they have to weigh the complications of going to college as well. “I have always thought about college as a “catch 22”...You’re taught from a young age that in order to achieve the “American Dream” you must graduate high school and go to college,” Kris contemplates (Kris 5).Throughout Kris’s ten years of experience with college, she has seen the tuition increase to shocking heights. In fact, she claims that community colleges cost as much as state colleges did when she first started her college hunt. Back then, she

As the cost of a higher education increases exponentially, so does the impatience of the American college student. Matt Taibbi, the author of “Ripping Off Young America: The College Loan Scandal,” published in Rolling Stone on August 15, 2013, attempts to tap into an arising issue for an increasing amount of college bound students. He develops his argument by identifying two “enemies” behind rising tuition costs, using undisputable facts in the process, demonstrating his regard for logos. Taibbi also realizes his obligation to use personal stories, along with informal words and phrases, employing the pathos appeal to earn credibility among his primary audience - young Americans.

Community College. She displays her expertise in the discussion of whether Obama’s proposal of free tuition college is accomplishable. Cubberly displays her views by using visual graphs and past experiences to question if the stance of free college tuition was built on solid foundation. She brings up the Recession of 2008 and how it had a large impact on the way community colleges are standing now. Especially when it comes to their ability to meet the needs of an exploding new mass of students, if Obama’s proposal is passed.
