Sacksteder LaClair 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Utilizing the current literature base on rural community colleges, transfer student adjustment, academic advising and articulation issues, the purpose of this research study was to ascertain the adjustment issues and experiences of rural community college students who have the intent to transfer to a four-year baccalaureate degree granting institution. The perceptions these rural community college students have regarding the transfer process are the focus of the study.

The survey instrument used in this study is a variation of Laanan Transfer Student Questionnaire (L-TSQ). Survey questions were reframed such that those regarding university experiences and the students’ potential transfer to a four-year college/university were treated as reflections on the meditational transition, or transition that has not...

...Effects of College Education and Experience on Police Promotional Processes Abstract The vast majority of police agencies nationwide, including the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, now believe that college education is critical in their selection of lieutenants and sergeants. However, police agencies have acknowledged their desire to recognize education with promotional processes that award college education with an arbitrary point system which assigns a specific amount of points for different levels of education. The only known way for a police agency to be sure that these education points are meeting their goal of appropriately rewarding college education, is to first determine the effects of education on the scores and final rankings of their eligibility lists. Experience, often referred to as seniority, is treated in much the same way as college education and necessitates the same level of analysis. This research analyzes data from the 2012 Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Promotional Processes for both lieutenants and sergeants to arrive at conclusions about the effects of both college education and seniority on the promotional processes and makes specific recommendations which are sure to be of value to PBSO in the future. The basic tenants of this research can be duplicated by any law enforcement agency with a desire to appropriately recognize advanced education and seniority in their promotion of middle and lower level police leaders.

...under privileged by being a selfless giver to the poor, be an advocate for women’s rights, and wanted to change laws that may put an end to poverty. Social Work Pioneers Introduction of Pioneer According to Allen (1973), Laura Jane Addams was born in September 6, 1860, in Cedarville, Illinois and died in May 21, 1935. During her life span, Jane grew up during the Civil War and the development of significant innovations such as the origin of species. She experienced a good life since she came from a family of a famous politician and a mill owner named John Addams. Jane’s mother died when in hospital as she delivered her ninth child, living Jane a two year old and others in the care of their father. At an early age of four, Jane developed a disease of tuberculosis of the spine that caused a curving on her back and contributed to health problems during her lifetime. Jane became close to her father emotionally and intellectually. Although John Addams was not involved in feminism, he provided his daughter a good education by sending her to Rockford Seminary, which was a women’s institution in Rockford Illinois.

...of education has been a perennial problem in human history; This is so because down through the ages, from ancient to contemporary time, educators as well as philosophers has tried to proffer solutions on why and how man should be educated ranging from force, encouragement, incentives etc. But no matter which method is use, the important of education cannot be overemphasized. The aim of this work is to look at the educational system in Argentina, as well as the private and public education system, higher education, issues facing the Argentine educational system, education and government, Argentina educational position in South American vis-à-vis the world, and we shall proffer some recommended solutions on how to improve their educational system to meet the standard of other developed nations around the world. INTRODUCTION Education is central to development and a key to attaining developmental goals. It is a powerful instrument for reducing poverty and inequality and it lays a foundation for sustained economic growth. Education is widely recognized as one of the most fundamental building blocks for human development.

...how students’ process of decision making with respect to selecting college majors and careers relates to their persistence in college, and (b) to tease-out practical implications of this research for improving the academic advisement, long-range planning, and retention of first-year students. The majority of new students entering higher education leave their initial college of choice without completing a degree (Tinto, 1993), and national attrition rates have been increasing since the early 1980s at two-year and four-year institutions, both public and private (Postsecondary Education Opportunity, 2002). At all types of higher education institutions, including highly selective colleges and universities, the most critical period or stage of vulnerability for student attrition continues to be the first year of college (“Learning Slope,” 1991). More than half of all students who withdraw from college do so during their first year (Consortium for Student Retention Data Exchange, 1999), resulting in a first-year attrition rate of more than 25% at four-year institutions, and approximately 50% at two-year institutions (ACT, 2003). Retention research suggests that student commitment to educational and career goals is perhaps the strongest factor associated with persistence to degree completion (Wyckoff, 1999). Given the increasing trend of new students to report that their number-one goal for attending college is “preparing for an occupation” (Astin, Parrot, Korn, & Sax, 1997)...

...institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience our campus for yourself. Sincerely, Glenn D. Sullivan President MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 1 Table of Contents Mission...
