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

As I’m sure you know, military recruitment in high schools has been a hot topic ever since the No Child Left Behind Act passed in 2001. According to the NCLB, all high schools that receive government funding must “provide military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as is provided generally to post secondary educational institutions or to prospective employers of those students” (No Child Left Behind Act of 2001). And unfortunately, any school that refuses this puts their funding in jeopardy. Yet many still strongly disagree with this mandate and want it revoked, begging the question: Is there a way to regulate this type of recruitment without eliminating it completely? Moms and Dads, I’m writing this letter because we need
The article written by ESPN reporter Jemele Hill explores the tumultuous story of Chris Webber and the University of Michigan. Chris Webber was a basketball star in the early nineties at the University of Michigan and was a major contributor to the university reaching the NCAA championship game two years in a roll. After his career at Michigan, allegations were raised and then founded that Webber received thousands of dollars from than booster Ed Martin while attending Michigan. The receiving of these benefits is a violation of NCAA rules per NCAA by-law 12.3.1.2 and 12.1.2.1.6. The NCAA punished Michigan with several sanctions and loss of scholarships, monetarily, and a vacation of several seasons including the school vacating their appearances
If you were to walk into Thompson and go through each floor, you would notice a distinct difference between the 2nd floor and the 3rd and 4th floor: segregated housing. On the 2nd floor, you will see a wide variety of people from all different ethnic backgrounds, but upon reaching the 3rd and 4th floor, you will only see a body of Latino students. Although at first this split may seem racial, in fact it is simply a split of preference. On the 2nd floor is standard UC Davis housing, and on the 3rd and 4th floor is the Latino theme dorm: Casa, which is the spanish word for home. My experiences as a freshmen in Casa has shown me that although the theme dorms on campus help to protect, support, and nourish their residents’ culture, due to the
Georgia Daze is a minority recruitment organization at the University of Georgia that hosts accepted, minority high school seniors for two full weekends each spring semester, in hopes of matriculating those students the following year. Georgia Daze also mentors its participants throughout their freshman year. As a freshman, I served as a student host as well as the the Assistant Recruitment Chair. My sophomore and junior years, I served as the Recruitment Chair. Each year, I recruited over 200 students to the program, and had a 96% matriculation rate for the programs participants to UGA. I also helped plan and execute biweekly programs year-round to help freshman students thrive on
In the article “We send to many students to college,” Marty Nemko discusses how college may not be the answer for everyone, and how a person can be successful without college. Nemko argues that it is most likely that a person that is at the bottom half of their graduating class in high school is not going to earn a diploma while in college. Nemko also says that a person that has been to college could end up working a job that a non-college graduate would be working because of the degree that a person has is useless. Many may think that a person that has a college degree is better off, but a person that didn’t graduate may work harder, and be more motivated in life to accomplish the goals they have set for themselves. According to Nemko “Colleges
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
This year the Chicano Student Program at the University of California Riverside celebrated its 45th year of being established. Since 1972, this program has expanded and grown into a well known resource center for first generation hispanic/latino students. This program would not exist without the effort and support from students and faculty members on campus who wanted to initiate a program where Hispanic students feel safe and have all the resources they need to succeed. At the time, the rate of first generation students being emitted to UCR was increasing and these students needed an environment to embrace, learn, advocate, and be involved with their culture and community. The Chicano Student Program offered these students a platform where
The obstacles that student service members/veterans confront while attending a higher educational institution are important to understand. There have been a multitude of studies focused on this growing population of college students. Prior research has revealed overlapping findings about student service members/veterans and their experiences in transitioning from a military environment to a college environment.
The connotation of war is always simply negative, but some would argue that the United States of America could have never become what it is now without the wars in which the nation has been involved. Others would argue that war is unnecessary, expensive, and a traumatic experience for those serving and those who grieve the loses, but in fact no war era has positively impacted American society such as the postwar growth from World War II. The postwar era of World War II ultimately changed the higher education system in the United States, indefinitely changing the way institutions recruited students, retained, and graduated them. It was the beginning of Strategic
Many colleges and universities throughout the United States and several other countries face a common problem. Student retention is a growing problem across the nation for all ethnic groups and all ages. Each individual who chooses to drop out of school has their own personal reasons as to why they do. However, many drops out can be completely avoided. When students drop out they are not clearly thinking about how it’s going to affect their future, the future of their children and even grandchildren. Although there are several reasons as to why students drop out of school, we will be exploring a few as it relates to why student retention is a growing problem.

The case study shows that the company has a very poor recruitment process. The customer service supervisor was not experienced in the interviewing, and hiring.

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
