The Annual Fund At Cal Poly Pomona

In addition to my experience in advising and student affairs, I have also worked as a professional in financial aid for the past eight years. During my time in financial aid I have seen first-hand the challenges students face with the cost of obtaining a higher education degree. My role in financial aid has evolved over my career while exploring the theoretical

Today, Susan Hansen, Admissions Director of East Liberal Arts College, wishes to increase tuition and reduce financial aid available to students (Brickley, Smith and Zimmerman, 2009, p. 110). Moreover, she has expressed that “increasing tuition and reducing the amount of financial aid will solve the schools financial problems” (Brickley, Smith and Zimmerman, 2009, p. 110). This will be done by “increasing an effective tuition from $15,000 to $25,000” (Brickley et al., 2009). She also projects that the tuition increase enrollment from 400 to 600 students (Brickley, Smith and Zimmerman,

The two most pressing issues that Greenhill Community Center Face are communication and fundraising. The most important thing in organizational structure is communication. John Carver, created a governance model back in 1997, said there were four areas that policy development should be based on and maintained for a board to lead. One of the areas is Board-Staff relationships. Carter stated that to clearly address common concerns about board members evaluating the CEO is to communicate directly with the staff or volunteers within the organization. (Worth, p.75) The relationship between the staff and board members of the Greenhill Community Center is strained and distant. Fundraising is an integral part of

Through my study both in and out of school, my academic understanding of the subject improves through group report and essay writing; instead of considering external effect, side effects both positive and negative should also be taken into account. Participating in many clubs such as fashion design and basketball team forces me to improve on time management and study-life balance which will be needed for college and career stage. As a class president in year 10, I manage the fundraising program to prepare for graduation class trip in year 12 as a school culture. The biggest problem that we face was that we could not meet agreement within the class officers. However, I come up with ideas of selling sandwiches to our staffs and campus visitors on weekends and appointed volunteers with their individual duties on preparing and selling. This results in a collection of more than 10,000 NTD funds and a stronger friendship between volunteers through cooperation. This again reinforces my leadership skills and ability and passion on

If HBCUs are to survive, they must increase financial contributions from alumni. This is particularly true at private institutions, where there is little or no revenue from states, upon which public institutions rely heavily. Alumni giving at public HBCUs is also becoming increasingly important because state funding is decreasing and the overall funding received from states is not on par with their majority institution counterparts (Gasman, 2010). HBCUs must enhance their alumni fundraising results in order to generate revenue to sustain them. Understanding the motivators to alumni giving at HBCUs can be critical to helping them improve alumni giving rates, and thus, the amount provided by them. There have been many research studies to determine the factors that affect alumni giving. One study found that there is a positive correlation between alumni perceptions of their undergraduate experience and their chances of financially supporting and participating with their institution (Gaier, 2005). Institutions should understand the key factors that contribute to those alumni perceptions so that they can make operational decisions designed to improve student

Approaching the halfway point of the program brought me to the Introduction to School Finance EDA 6240, which focused on the fiscal management of the organization and utilizing resources to maximize an environment conducive to learning. Because public education is a responsibility of each state, funding public education is crucial to creating a productive and successful society. The Florida Education Funding Program (FEFP) equalized funding for education regardless of how wealthy one area is over the other. An important component of the FEFP is the full time equivalent (FTE), which represents a student who was present during the Survey FTE week. Money is earned for each one of the FTEs. Learning about the base student allocation, the amount

There were many questions, but the most frequently asked was, ‘What is the money for’? We asked local National Honor Society leader Wade VanVark this question. In hopes that things would slowly become clearer as more explanations come.

Central Valley College functions with two major stakeholder groups, which are the trustee board and president’s cabinet. Although they are outwardly the main stakeholders, the faculty senate, and particular staff members play significant roles in change efforts.

Trevaun is an active African American boy. He is in 2nd grade and attends Williams Elementary School. He does not have a least favorite subject, but his favorite subject is math. He enjoys Physical Education too, for he gets to play basketball, which is his favorite sport. He loves to roller skate and play video games as well, which is why his favorite time of the day is nighttime. Trevaun’s mom allows him to play video games as late as he wants as long as he completed his homework first, and gets up on time for school the next morning. Therefore, he does not have a bedtime.

A surging $1.2 trillion in student debt and rising rapidly in tuition is the critical issue America public universities face today. These student debts and rising tuitions are caused mainly by administrative hiring and pay or expensive building projects on campuses. When public universities are spending money toward expensive building projects, this does not help with making tuition cheap to attend a certain university, instead it’s high.

On October 24th 2015 Arizona State Universities PRM 486 Special Events Management class hosted a day of service event at the Maricopa County Human Services Campus. The PRM class spent the first few weeks of class up till the 24th planning this event. The Day of Service students were split into two groups that had about fifteen students each in them. Those two groups were then split into 5 different sub-committees that consisted of a marketing team, a volunteer team, a sponsorship/hospitality team, a budget team, and a logistics team. Each team has specific duties that would contribute to the completion of this event each week. The marketing team duties consisted of getting t-shirts printed for the PRM students as well as all of the volunteers that were going to attend, and to help spread the word around about the event and what it entailed. The volunteer teams duties consisted of handling everything that had to with the volunteers the day of the event most of these students on this team were in a different group sharing what they could up until the day of the event when they actually had to help the large amount of volunteers. The team I was on was the sponsorship/hospitality team. Our duties consisted of getting various amounts of supplies for the day of service. These supplies were all kinds of things that would make the day of service run smoothly such as getting the breakfast for everyone volunteering, getting all of the gloves people were wearing during the

No one stopped to think about what the employees of the new casino had to give to the community. Harrah’s Heroes have been volunteering since the casino doors first opened and hasn't stopped yet. The program was once run by Maggie Mattock but is now run by Laurie Porter. Laurie has been co-running the program with Maggie for the past five years. In the five years she had been on board, the Hero program has formed collaborations with The Heart Foundation, GoGreen, Rebuilding Together, and many other charities and groups. When Ms. Laurie is choosing the events to work she tried to fit in as many as possible for the month. She doesn’t choose by the size of the job or how much time it will take, it’s a first come first serve basis. There can be more than one event per day given there is a two hour gap between the events. I asked Laurie how much longer she would be running the program. Her response was simple and said with the widest smile, “Until the employees stop willingly volunteering.” The employees love volunteering just as much as Laurie love

United Way’s past strategies that leadership has tried in the past was trying to raise money through as many clients as possible. Brian Gallagher currently the CEO has made a dramatic change in the company’s approach. Brian established new membership’s standards to enhance the level of accountability. He changes the company’s image of just fund raising to doing what matters in the community. Brian believes this will lead to less finger pointing about where is the money donate going to and this will be proof. The past strategies were successful because of record reaching donations that United Way has once reached but like all things must evolve in order to survive.

As the cost of education increases, many students search for assistance to help cover that cost. That form of assistance could come from burdensome financial aid or a scholarship that provides the student with an education free from debt. That’s why I am writing you today Mr. Alan Hall on behalf of the Student Scholarship Committee, bellow we have outlined the (1) the benefits to the student, (2) the benefits to you, and (3) how you can take action to help.

Although I’ve worked hard to promote campus unity through my role in University Productions, Lehigh’s social programming board, we’ve been confronted with issues of funding availability. The large majority of student organizations, like the Lehigh Dental Society, are under-funded. Despite our hard work
