Networking in Student Affairs
Student Affairs Networking

Graduate students who will be moving into work in higher education and student affairs have much to consider, including professional development and networking. Ideally, that networking should start well before graduation is imminent, because it allows the student to develop contacts in the professional world before he or she moves into that world on a more permanent basis. Students who have professional contacts before they finish graduate school are more likely to see success in the working world in an earlier time frame, which can help those students make the transition from educational institution to professional working environment more easily.

While this type of networking and development does not guarantee success, it is one of the most significant things a student can do to move toward career placement and advancement in his or her chosen field. The literature that is addressed in Chapter Two will focus…...

graduate students in counseling programs to learn theories? Graduate students in counseling programs are required to learn counseling theories because of their significance in the profession. It's important for graduate students in such programs to learn counseling theories for a variety of reasons. First, theory is the essential framework and building block for counselors in training (Lofrisco, 2013). Without having a solid foundation and understanding of theory, students in counseling programs cannot succeed as effective counselors. Secondly, theory helps inexperienced counselors get understanding of the concepts they need to put into action by serving as a road map for the career. When a counselor sets goals for a client, he/she needs to have a justification for setting those goals. Third, counseling theories not only help novice counselors to become knowledgeable but also make professional counselors look impressive while carrying out their work.

This has also helped them recognize and demystify the problems that learners face in terms of unfamiliar contexts and how to tackle such challenges. Through these new acquired skills, learning environment for most students has become favourable because they exploit learning skills from other institutions, other than the skills they know (Institute of International Education, 2009).
These new methods have triggered a variety of response from students, which has enhanced the introduction of new learning skills and approaches for local learning institutions. American Universities are encouraging students to further their studies by offering these online learning programmes in every profession. The universities also have favourable programmes to the working class individuals who only get to learn part time. The students transition project is made possible by the data linked from a person's information regarding their education background. The data is assigned to every student who is entering the transition learning…...

This research will fill in a gap that was discovered in the literature review. There have been many, even in an academic setting, that have made comments regarding the effects of email on the student environment. However, there have been no significant studies to substantiate these claims. This study will fill in the existing gap in research and will examine the actual importance of email to the academic setting.
Chapter 2: Literature eview

The importance of technology in the academic setting was an accepted fact from the inception of the internet. However, there have been few academic studies that have attempted to quantify its impact on student lives and success. In order to understand the importance of email and its impact on students lives, one must examine several areas of academic research on the topic. It has been implied that self-esteem and a feeling of satisfaction play an important role in…...

Pressure Building on College Students
College is not always a breeze as some students might expect. While the studies themselves are stressful, what really builds additional pressure is a variety of tasks that need to be done within 24 hours of the day such as research assignments, coursework, quizzes, take-home exams and not to mention all domestic activities as well. Fitting everything in 24 hours is not easy. On top of all this, students are also expected to maintain a respectable grade point average while not neglecting their social lives. Most students feel that if you can survive college, you can probably survive everything in life. This is certainly not an exaggeration since rate of depression and suicide is very high among college students. "Suicide is the second leading killer of college students - with an estimated 7.5 deaths per 100,000 students per year, according to a study of Big 10…...

At-Risk Students in Milwaukee
How Do at-Risk Children in Milwaukee Benefit from Alternative Schools?

The City of Milwaukee has a population of about 602,191 (an estimate from the U.S. Census as of 2007) and roughly 15% of Milwaukee's population is between the ages of 10 to 19 years (school age). There are about thirty-six alternative schools in Milwaukee to provide support and scholastic assistance to those students who are not producing in "regular" schools, including high schools in Milwaukee. This paper will review the support provided by two alternative high schools in Milwaukee:

One, Assata Alternative High School (2023 est isconsin Avenue); and two, Grandview High School (Seeds of Health) (1445 South 32nd Street)

Assata Alternative High School was founded in 1992 and operates full-day alternative programs for grades nine through twelve. Assata is a partner with the Division of Diversified Community Schools -- within the Milwaukee Public Schools system, according to the Milwaukee…...

Just as stress increases as life-change events accumulate the motivation to cope with change through engagement in a learning experience increases" for the individual (Zemke & Zemke 1984).
Money or enhancing one's salary is a fairly obvious, but nonetheless important reason workers commonly cite for going back to school. Obtaining a higher-level degree often results in better pay, better promotion prospects, and less of a likelihood of being let go during tough economic times. This is one reason workers with managerial aspirations often get their MBA after several years in the working world. A small business owner wishing to expand his or her business may also go back to school to get an MBA, to ensure that he or she has the skills to fully capitalize upon the potential of the enterprise he or she created.

A interrelated reason to the desire for more money is that, quite simply, many workers…...

Peer Mentoring in Higher EducationCollier (2017) explains that peer mentoring is an effective method for facilitating success for college students because it has a positive effect on the learners morale and increases the students satisfaction with the university. This is essentially the same finding as that of Flores and Estudillo (2018), who note that peer-to-peer mentoring programs can assist first year college students in their academic and social goals. Peer mentoring provides support for learners by giving them a reliable shoulder to lean on, and it gives them motivation to become more socially connected on campus. Both researchers have found this to be true over the course of their studies.Students with autism can also be assisted through peer mentoring, according to the study by Siew, Mazzucchelli, ooney and Girdler (2017). Siew et al. (2017) used a single group pre-test, post-test design with qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the outcomes…...

The Whatever School of Business at Whatever University prepares its students well for the accounting profession but also encourages them to engage in critical debate about how to honor the different interests and demands of stakeholders at a corporation, and to balance the law with the needs of the client, regardless of whether the client is a 'real' individual or the fictional individual of a corporation. On a larger level, I believe that my experiences as an international student at Whatever will help me as an accountant student and eventually as a CPA. I am used to balancing a variety of different perspectives, as I have had to learn about the United States while learning about American and world economic systems in my classes.

students come and go throughout college, they are likely to meet many people who influence their lives. In my case, I was lucky enough to interview Civil Rights activist Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth last year as part of my pursuit of a career in media relations. Among the many insightful comments made by the Reverend, I was able to immediately connect to one and use it as an inspiration in my life. He said, "I think you can best do God's work if you can be serious, be joyful, be kind, be benevolent, and be happy doing it." thought about many of the remarks Reverend Shuttlesworth said to me that day. I use his words as advice for my spiritual life and his insights as words of wisdom in staying focused on my career goal.

Students Plagiarize and Why They Should Be Told About it
Plagiarism has been the reason why "scholars'" names have been ripped off from roll of honors. Protracted court battles have been litigated because of lack of academic integrity. What exactly drives a student into using information from a source without acknowledging the source of information? Students can sometimes be a funny lot. They procrastinate so much. There are instances when assignments are given out and due dates for submitting the assignments are clearly stipulate. A student would never plan with the time he has at his disposal really well buoyed with the accessibility of information in this era of digital age where a search word in Google search engine would give you access to copious amount of information. Such students would probably party until the last day when assignments are to be submitted. That is when they will pick their…...

Graduate and the New Left
In the United States in the 1960s, the nation was going through a change both in the psychological and sociological makeup of the population. Everything about the country was changing quickly, right down to the very moral code which makes up the identity of a culture. The American Dream and the belief that everyone could become successful if they were willing to work hard and if they lived in America was proving to be a fallacy in the wake of oppression, disenfranchisement, and racially-biased or gender-based prejudices. A group emerged who not only wished to be entirely different from their parents, but they also desired to completely upset if not outright eradicate the status quo and change what it meant to be an American citizen with an American identity. One of the components of this movement was a decidedly liberal perspective and agenda. This group…...

universities and graduate schools offer courses or whole major programs of study in ethnically or culturally specific areas. Examples include African-American studies and Asian studies. This research explores whether students who identify with the ethnic or racial group will perform better or worse than their counterparts in those courses. The research also explores general perceptions of taking ethnic course content.
The study blends information from both psychology and sociology, showing how race/ethnicity, identity, and performance all converge. As Hansen, Owen & Pan (2013) point out, the ethnic composition of a group or overall class diversity does not necessarily impact individual student performance in general. However, no known research has been conducted specifically on ethnically topical classes and the academic performance of students who identify with that group. This research could lend insight into some of the ways race, ethnicity, identity, performance anxiety, and achievement are interrelated.

There are several theoretical underpinnings…...
