...* Introduction: Tufts University is a private research university located in Medford/Somerville, near Boston, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The university is organized into ten schools including two undergraduate programs and eight graduate divisions, on four campuses in Massachusetts and the French Alps. The university emphasizes active citizenship and public service in all of its discipline and is known for its internationalism and study abroad programs. Among its schools is the United States' oldest graduate school of international relations, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. Tufts College was founded in 1852 by Christian Universalists who worked for years to open a non-sectarian institution of higher learning Charles Tufts donated the land for the campus on Walnut Hill, the highest point in Medford, saying that he wanted to set a "light on the hill." The name was changed to Tufts University in 1954, although the corporate name remains "the Trustees of Tufts College." For more than a century, Tufts was a small New England liberal arts college. The French-American nutritionist Jean Mayer became president of Tufts in the late 1970s and, through a series of rapid acquisitions, transformed the school into an internationally renowned research university It is known as both a Little Ivy and a "New Ivy" and consistently ranks among the nation's top schools. tuffs collage,1854 at 1910 Mission Statement The vision of the Tufts University School of Arts and Sciences is...

Sanders Saint Leo University MBA540 Analyzing Managerial Decisions: Medford University 1. Rather than approaching Medford University Human Resource department to propose a plan, President Kobayashi designated a task force to mull over the matter of fringe benefits. President Kobayashi designated a task force to reduce expenditures and develop a new fringe benefit package that was for the employees of the University. But while the analysis takes place, President Kobayashi does not want to disturb the value of the faculty or the staff. The president has designated a top administrator, to head the task force. He also appointed other various members to be a part of the task force, including the vice provost, who would function as the secretary of the task force.. These members are presumed to have specific knowledge that would help in the process of making the decision. If the president had asked the human resource department to put together a new benefits package, there may have been cause or concerns about who the package being created for upper class, the wealthy, and even show favoritism toward certain colleagues and staff members. 2) The president should supply the task force with a copy of the university’s financial report.

...MEDFORD UNIVERSITY CASE STUDY ANALYSIS #3 Leilani P. Sharp Potomac College Abstract Medford University is a research university with about 10,000 students. It has a good liberal arts undergraduate program, a top-rated medical school, and a fine law school. It employs about 12,000 people. A majority of these employees work at the university hospital. Lately, the university has faced significant financial pressures. The hospital is under pressure to reduce costs because of changing health care regulation and insurance coverage. INTRODUCTION 1. President Kobayashi appointed a task force to consider the issue of fringe benefits. She could have asked the university’s human resources department to design a plan. The appointed task force to reduce expenditures and design a new package for the fringe benefit package offered to faculty and staff of Medford University. At the same time, President Kobayashi wants to maintain the quality of the faculty and staff abroad. This task force would consist of different members of the faculty and staff in hoping that each member would have specific knowledge to help or to contribute in the decision making process. As far as the human resources department in creating a new fringe benefit package for the faculty and staff, this may have caused some questions and raised eyebrows from employees in thinking that the package is geared toward the upper class members, the rich and the possibility to show more...

...Computer Based Learning & Shaw University IS535 –Managerial Applications of Information Technology Abstract On September 22, 2011 I set out to explore the effects of full scale Computer Based Learning within Shaw University. My agenda was clear, my outcome was predictable. On October 15, 2011 I concluded my research. Little did I know, Computer Based Learning would become more than just a technological tool used by the Shaw U. It would become the way of the future and most likely the life blood of the university. Table of Contents Definition 2 Background of Company 3-4 Current Business Issues 5-6 Proposed Solution 7 Recommendations 8 References 9 Definition Many people hear the term computer based learning and assume that it’s a method of college students taking classes at home. Fortunately for those of us that use it, and industry vendors that provide computer based learning, it’s not quite that simple. Computer based learning, sometimes abbreviated to CBL, refers to the use of computers as a key component of the educational environment. The term more broadly refers to a structured environment in which computers are used for teaching purposes. CBL originally derived from computer based training, known as CBT. Computer based learning first emerged in the 1980s. During the 1990s a group of schools were identified as computer based learning institutions. These schools used constructivist and cognitive learning plans. The two environments...

...University of Florida Block Tuition Fact Sheet Definition of Block Tuition: UF defines full time as an undergraduate student enrolled for 12 or more credit hours during a semester in the academic year. In 2009-2010, the average academic load of full time undergraduates was 14.1 credits at UF. In order to graduate from a standard 120 credit hour degree program in eight semesters, a student needs to complete an average of 15 credits per semester. This is considered a standard academic load as recognized by the President’s Honor Roll and represents 4-5 courses per semester. Beginning in the Fall 2012 semester, full time undergraduate students enrolled in statefunded academic programs will be billed for tuition and fees at the rate of 15 credits for Fall and Spring Semester. The fees included in the Block Tuition are the Student Financial Aid fee, Capital Improvement Trust Fund fee, Building fee, Health fee, Athletic fee, Activity and Service fee, Transportation Access fee, and Technology fee. In addition, non-residents are charged the following: Non-Resident Student Financial Aid Fee. Other fees that may apply to individual courses will be billed to the student on either a per-credit-hour basis or per-course basis, as is our current practice, such as Materials and Supplies fees (per-course), Distance Education fees (per-credit-hour), and Equipment Use fees (per-credit-hour). Benefits of Block Tuition: Block Tuition will serve as an incentive to raise the academic load...

...Why an MBA The MBA is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. It is a degree designed to give you the ability to develop your career to its fullest potential, at an accelerated pace. What will you get out of an MBA? Aside from a powerful life experience, the MBA degree should supply three main value propositions: Skills, Networks, and Brand. Skills These include the "hard skills" of economics, finance, marketing, operations, management, and accounting, as well as the "soft skills " of leadership, teamwork, ethics, and communication that are so critical for effective management. MBA students acquire these skills inside and outside the classroom. Since MBA programs attract people from very diverse industries and cultures, a program should be able to leverage these differences and translate them into learning opportunities. Networks An MBA degree program offers access to a network of MBA students, alumni, faculty, and business and community leaders. This network can be very useful when beginning a job search, developing a career path, building business relationships in your current career, or pursuing expertise outside your current field. For example, entrepreneurs need access to capital, business partners, vendors, and clients. Arts-related businesses need access to funding and strategic management in order to position themselves to be relevant in the marketplace. Global businesses need access to local business cultures as they expand their enterprises to new territories...

...“Factors Affecting the Academic Performance of Students” Paulo Angelo Dela Rosa Mary Joy Cantilla James Cañete Ansarie Datua Bonnie Fe Bangero Beverly Acana Introduction Education in its broadest meaning is any process by which an individual gains knowledge or insight or develops attitudes or skills. It is an experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, values, and skills from one generation to another generation. It is generally believed that the basis for any true development must commence with the development of human resources. When we come to think of students, they are the ones who learn ideas to become more responsible and productive someday. Examples of the factors affecting the academic performance of students are the environmental, social/ family, teachers, friend relationships, and socio-economic factors. Almost all of the factors are a variable of academic performance. However, the researchers would like to investigate the possible relationship of factors affecting to the academic achievement of under graduate students of Notre Dame of Tacurong College. “Significance of the Study” Paulo Angelo Dela Rosa Mary Joy Cantilla James Cañete Ansarie Datua Bonnie Fe Bangero Beverly Acana 1.

...There are lot off things that students have to go through college in order to graduate. There several obstacles that students face during the school year, which lead to dropping out of College. To prevent college dropouts, colleges can play a major role to provide them with financial aid, flexible schedules, and academic support. One of the obstacle is finical aid. I am using community college as an example. The majority of students who attend either fall under the category of poor to middle class, or they are international students. Beside this fact they come from different financial backgrounds these students are bright and eager to study and want to secure their future. Families which can only provide enough so the family can live puts a lot off responsibility on the students. It is hard for students to stay in collage since they have to help provide for their family. Giving out different types off aid such as FAFSA, TAP and/or loans provide opportunities and help take the load off of them. A few years back ,in order to get any type off financial help, colleges looked at attendance and students grades. Now, getting into college only counts for 2.5 GPA or higher. Factoring in all the extra money that students can save also prevent college dropouts. Students who are dedicated to education and want to finish their school on time, would like college to have flexible scheduling. It would be Great opportunity for students and provide optimism so they can continue with their...

...alcohol by college students has always been an issue for university campuses, but the problem has become more and more frequent and has grown in familiarity with every passing generation. In past years, the problem has not only multiplied in frequency, but has also grown in danger. Now students are abusing not only recreational drugs like Marijuana and Cocaine, but also prescription drugs like Ritalin and others like it such as Adderall. "As many as 20 percent of college students have used Ritalin or Adderall to study, write papers, and take exams..." (Jacobs 2). Medications like Ritalin are used to provide energy and concentration when a person cannot achieve them through regular means. Students take medication like Ritalin to help them deal with loss of sleep so they can stay up all night to cram and still do well in class. Students are now using similar medications like Adderall that are released over long periods of time so they can keep an energy high throughout an entire day instead of just one or two class periods. On some campuses, if you’re not using Ritalin or Adderall, you are just increasing your risk to fall behind. As one Columbia student said, “If you don’t take them, you’ll be at a disadvantage to everyone else” (Jacobs 3). This previous statement is unfortunately all too true, these types of prescription medications are so popular and commonplace that students attending certain universities believe that “now it’s almost cool to take them” (Jacobs...

...Guns on College Campus Should guns be allowed on college campus? Kenton L. McGowen Abstract This paper will determine whether guns have a place on college, and school campuses. The conclusion that the paper reaches is that students who have guns will be tempted to use them, especially at universities and colleges that are full of drug use, stress, and anxiety. The mixture of guns into a formula like that is simply not conducive to a safe environment. This paper will take evidence from experts, as well as state rulings to show the two sides of gun control in regards to school campuses in order to answer the question: Should guns be allowed on college campuses? The constitution of the United States guarantees our right to bear arms in order to defend ourselves, but where does the line fall where it is ok and not okay to carry weapons? The debate has shifted from restaurants, to stores, and now to schools. It is recently that the question has come up, should college campus students be allowed to have guns? The question is a safety issue and mostly centers around a need for the preservation of life on these campuses, and whether or not the guns are absolutely necessary to have. It has been spurred on by the recent slew of school shootings that have hit areas of the country, most notably Virginia Tech in 2006. There are valid argumentative points to both sides, however. As previously mentioned, the constitution of the United States guarantees...

...Journal Assignment Grand Canyon University UNV 501 For my first article I picked an article entitled A Longitudinal Examination of the Link between Youth Physical Fitness and Academic Achievement. Both authors Rebecca London and Sebastian Castrechini work at Stanford University. They are both interested in knowing if the fitness does help achievement, London has done extensive research in this field. They both work at Stanford University. I selected this article because I am very interested in elementary education, and I am also interested in fitness and sports. This article allowed me to see if there was a correlation between students being fit and how they do in the classroom. This article is considered scholarly because both authors did extensive testing and research for this article. I was glad to find that kids who were fit did better in the classroom. My second article was The Significance of Mathematical Knowledge in teaching elementary methods course: perspectives of mathematics teacher educators. It was co-written by Rina and Dov Zazkis. They wanted to see how math teachers used there knowledge to teach a class. I picked this article since I both enjoy math and I am interested in knowing different ways to teach it. Both authors work at universities in the education field, though D. Zazkis researches mathematics and science education. This is scholarly because they investigated how math teachers taught students.
