The place I will soon call my alma mater, Belmont University, is a place to discover one’s passions and dreams. At this institution, you begin to define yourself, find your true interest, and mold yourself into a God-fearing leader. Just as any other colleges, students transform into leaders, but what makes Belmont sets apart from the rest is our foundation. Belmont strives for their students to transform the world with disciplined intelligence, compassion, courage and faith. I am grateful to be at an university that has molded me to be a firm believer of what I am passionate about, and taught me to use that energy to go from here to anywhere.

The strengths and weaknesses of Skagit Valley College differ from which campus you attend. The particular strengths and disadvantages can range from: students able to retake their Compass Test, high school students can attend free, Skagit prepares students for four year colleges; but my campus does not have many classes, its first come/first serve, and it’s a small school that doesn’t have many programs.

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.

Though Saint Mary’s Academy and Xavier University of Louisiana have many similarities, both also have many differences. When comparing the two schools, the similarity that is most apparent is that both institutions are Catholic schools that were founded by women who became nuns and wanted a better education for the black youth in the New Orleans area and surrounding areas.

Even though there are some similarities between both, I can also point out many differences such as gender of students, diversity, and dress code.

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
