...Education Sector Leaders Overview of Research Education plays a key role in helping students prepare for their future. Leaders who reflect students’ cultural backgrounds are necessary to project a positive image of visible minorities to students from an early age, even before they enter the workforce. Diverse leadership in the education sector has both a symbolic and practical importance. Diversity among teachers and academic leaders promotes education policies and teaching practices that promote a civic culture inclusive of diversity (Butler, 2000). According to Lumby et al. (2007), “a powerful commitment to equality and diversity is viewed by many as integral to progressing further education’s strategic mission. The sector has long been committed to such values, historically focused on an inclusive approach to education and training.” In higher education, in particular, it is essential to developing critical thinking. “The incorporation of diversity into pedagogical practices in higher education changes societal mindsets and challenges the structural arrangement of persons in society” (Campbell, 2000). It has been a high priority in Ontario for more than a decade (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2008). Research shows that: • Diverse leadership plays an important symbolic role in shaping the aspirations of young people (Blau & Stearns, 2003). Failure to provide positive role models can lead to social exclusion, which carries with it very high social and economic costs (Ryan et...

The members that form a fraternity or sorority share their efforts, friendship and knowledge. Together these members learn, grow and make the fraternity or sorority, commonly called a Greek organization, stronger. Their common experience builds ties that last a lifetime. Fraternities and sororities have been a part college campuses since the late 18th-century. These organizations are referred to as "Greek" because their names consist of Greek letters that serve as a reminder of the group’s values. Learn the Greek Alphabet. Though there are many different fraternities and sororities, they all share common founding principles that may be of interest to any Ball State University student.

...Secondary Data to Find Your Career Industry Marketing research is a tool used to determine the best market for launching, products and service. It can help to determine if the venture will be profitable of a fiasco. I believe that it can determine if a fad will become a basic staple or remain a passing fad and I believe all of that can be determined from market research that taps into individuals wants and desires that are felt so strongly the feel as if they are needs. And so I believe that market research can inspire parents to influence students to become all they can and compete in our job force to make a valuable contribution to our society. In my mind education has become a business along with that statement comes the revelation that it is a business that our country is failing to excel in because it has become so much of a business that we are not educating our children at a level that will allow them to compete in our markets to fill job openings. We need marketing research to helps us “prioritize the more important and pressing problems selected for solution, reach the best possible solution based on the information available, implement the solution, modify the solution when additional information so dictates (Danaher, Hardie & Putsis, 2001)” (Al-Shatanawi, Osman & Halim, 2014, p. 151). I believe that preparing today’s youth to be tomorrow’s leaders through education should be a top priority for every American citizen and marketing research and presentation...

...classroom performance and lower drop out incidence, many colleges require students to stay in school dormitories especially those students who live far from school like Cavite, Tarlac, Laguna, Batangas etc. It is widely believed that living in campus dormitory can acquire some benefits in their academic performance. Large universities provide a number of academic services in dormitories such as tutoring and student organizations that encourage an environment conducive to learning. Residence halls have served as an essential aspect of collegiate life since the early colonial colleges. Closely associated with the learning environment, early dorms housed faculty in the facilities to serve in the roles of counselors, supervisors, and educators. Historically, research on individual differences that bear on school success has focused on general intelligence. A century of empirical evidence has now unequivocally established that intelligence, defined as the “ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome obstacles by taking thought” (Neisser et al., 1996 , p. 77) has a monotonic, positive relationship with school success (Gottfredson, 2004; Kuncel, Ones, & Sackett, 2010 ; Lubinski, 2009 ).

...entrepreneurs navigating their own paths of success, it does not significantly counter the commonly held, and just, belief that college is the trusted path of reaching a level of prosperity. Along those lines, a recent report from the US Census Bureau stated that ”a college master's degree is worth $1.3 million more in lifetime earnings than a high school diploma.” More so, in a similar report entitled”The Big Payoff: Educational Attainment and Synthetic Estimates of Work-Life Earnings,” the authors, using Census data, state that ” over an adult's working life, high school graduates can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor's degree, $2.1 million; and people with a master's degree, $2.5 million.” These messages of earnings and potential earnings have seemingly become a modern day “Just Say No” campaign for students (“Just Say No” representing the popular slogan for drug free education introduced to elementary and middle school aged children). More so, that message has succeeded in immersing into broader societal held beliefs. However, while the assumptions concerning the importance of college hold true, there are still questions concerning the factors that contribute to collegiate access. Specifically, for the scope of the research conducted, does the education levels of a student’s parents impact their likelihood to attend college. With the mass dissemination of statistics, messages, and pressure from both society...

...CASE STUDY – Nike and the University of Oregon The next case study is case study 22, (“Nike and the University of Oregon”) on Pages 933-940 of your key text, De Wit & Meyer. Below is the case synopsis: Case Synopsis Philipp H. Knight founded Nike’s predecessor company in 1963. The basic business formula of the company has not changed much since then. Nike is designing and marketing high quality sports shoes and sports apparel around the world. It builds its brand appeal through savvy marketing and sophisticated product R&D. The company has never owned production of the goods it sells, instead from the very beginning has been importing the products from the Asian Far East. In 2000, Nike enjoyed 45% global market share, had close to $9 billion of sales and put Knight among the top ten richest individuals in United States. The company directly employed 20,000 people, but had a workforce of an estimated half a million labouring for them in 565 contract factories in 46 countries – making it one of the largest private company de facto employers in the world. Labour conditions in Nike’s contract factories were not even close to any labour laws and compensation practices in the industrialised countries, let alone the US. Work there meant 70-hour workweeks performing hazardous and/or monotonous routines under abusive supervision and with appalling equipment. Until the early l990s, Nike never felt that to be its responsibility. Ever since the early 19th century in England, industrial...

...her office window at the Florida riverfront as she considered the possibilities and implications of her conversation with Peter Landman. As CEO and founder of Thompson Asset Management (TAM), an investment management firm that she had started in Jacksonville, Florida, in 2009, Thompson had grown the firm from a single client and a $500,000 investment to about $83 million in assets under management (AUM) in two funds. TAM had a proven track record of beating benchmarks and managing downside risk. The success of her strategies had brought in new clients each year. In 2014, she was hoping to expand her business. She was looking for larger high-net-worth clients and possibly institutional clients. Peter Landman, an investment officer from her alma mater, was considering TAM as an investment manager for part of the college’s endowment. She wondered if this was the client she had been looking for to expand the business. Company Background With undergraduate degrees in finance and computer science, Thompson joined a quantitative asset management firm in Chicago in 2003. In her five years there, she completed her CFA certification and worked with the portfolio managers to implement quantitative trading strategies. The strategies she helped to develop consistently earned returns of 300–500 basis points above appropriate benchmarks. These results were all the more impressive because the strategies did little to manage the downside risk. The techniques were a mix of technical trading...

...1 Gage Lucas Professor Tanya Torres English 306 17 November 2011 Consolidation: An Attempt to Save Money, or an Effort to Reduce Student Learning The proposals by the state to consolidate several public schools on O’ahu has created no small amount of concern by parents, students, and teachers. This is probably due to the recent attempts by the state to close small public elementary schools like Pu’uhale and Likelike Elementary. Despite the state’s numerous attempts to cut short the number of school days in a week (furlough days), the state legislation has finally decided to cut short the number of schools on the island (consolidation). Their goal - which is really a short term goal - is one that involves the reduction of spending, which will save the state approximately one million dollars a year. While this may seem reasonable and understandable, the viewpoint that the state has totally dismissed is the viewpoint of enhancing these small schools and providing incentives for those schools that perform well in their test scores and achieve exemplary academic growth. There are multiple reasons for why the state should not consolidate these small schools, and the four arenas this proposal will examine to support it consists of a political reason, an economic reason, a social reason, and a cultural reason. And in examining these reasons in light of the argument to not consolidate public schools in Hawaii, people - especially parents - will be able to defend these small schools...
