...I strongly believe no one should attend a university that they feel they wouldn’t contribute to in terms of unique experiences or leadership skills. For example; if I were to attend a large school such as The Ohio State University with a student body size of nearly 60,000, all my uniqueness will most likely be buried and go unnoticed. It’s for this reason, and many others, that led me to apply to the University of West Florida. Not only will the roughly 85 percent smaller student body allow me to contribute as an individual, the small class sizes will, without a doubt, allow me to stand out academically and intellectually. My contribution to UWF includes unique experiences and leadership skills, both of which will prospectively enrich my fellow...

...Due to my love of architecture, driving through college campuses has always fascinated me. The attention to detail present in the layout of campus and buildings impresses me, making me want to design similar buildings. As an architect, I plan to give back to Ohio State by contributing to the future building projects of the university. Whether working on dorms, classrooms, rec centers, restaurants, or even renovations to the famous Ohio Stadium, I would consider the opportunity an honor. The visual impression of buildings makes Ohio State beautiful and recognizable, while the structural design of the buildings makes the university efficient and accessible. Using what I learned at Ohio State for Ohio State will represent my commitment to the...

...Transferring to The Ohio State University has been one of the best decisions of my life. However, the transitioning process from my old university to here has been a bit of a challenge. Last year I attended Ohio Northern University which has an enrollment around three thousand students. To say the least it was the polar opposite of Ohio State University. The class sizes at Ohio State are much larger than at Ohio Northern and which made it a little harder to focus in class for the first couple of weeks. Ohio State also has a much larger campus which took a lot of getting used to. It took me a solid month before I knew my routes to class without looking at a map. One of the most difficult transitions I had was leaving behind all my friends...

...Executive Summary Over the past decade, Ohio has wavered from either the 7th or 8th largest economy amongst the states according to GDP. On the positive side, Ohio has maintained a lower cost of doing business than most, if not all, of its neighbors. Ohio is centrally located with many major manufacturing facilities in the United States. Secondly, the state of Ohio has the lowest tax rate on new capital investment in the Midwest and the third lowest in the U.S. for most of the last decade. Negatively speaking, the heavy reliance on manufacturing related employment is not going to be good, long-term. There will continue to be limited gains in service jobs due to slow population growth. Combine that with the elevated level of out migration and Ohio is going to be dealing with a smaller population percentage. The outlook for Ohio is mild at best. Total employment is expected to increase 9.3 percent over the 3-5 years, resulting in over 489,000 jobs. Personal income should also see an uptick of around 3.5 percent for the next year. As far as employment goes, the number of jobs will continue to be a problem, especially amongst neighboring states. Total employment is still 2 percent below the prerecession peak. It is also very important to look at home price growth as well. It has slowed down of recent, and growth over the next year is only expected to be between 2-3%. Ohio’s recovery has accelerated over the past few quarters, but it still trails the Midwest and nationwide averages...

...Jesse Owens The seventh child of Henry and Emma Alexander Owens was named James Cleveland when he was born in Alabama on September 12, 1913. "J.C.", as he was called, was nine when the family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where his new schoolteacher gave him the name that was to become known around the world. The teacher was told "J.C." when she asked his name to enter in her roll book, but she thought he said "Jesse". The name stuck and he would be known as Jesse Owens for the rest of his life. His early life was marked by poverty and he was forced to take many menial jobs such as delivering goods and working in a shoe repair shops. However, he was able to develop his passion for running and athletics; from an early age he was marked as having great potential talent. In later life he gave much credit to Charles Riley, his high school coach who encouraged him and made allowances for his difficulty in making evening training sessions because Jesse had to work in a shoe repair shop. Jesse Owens rose to national prominence in 1933, when he equalled the world record (9.4 seconds) for the 100 yard dash. He attended Ohio State University, but without a scholarship he had to continue working part time. At the time, America was a highly segregated society and when traveling with the team, Jesse had to suffer the indignities of eating at separate restaurants and staying at different hotels. One of his great athletic feats occurred in 1935, where in one track meet he broke three...

...Nate Higgins Assignment 1 1/31/14 College Performance-Based Funding Ohio is taking an aggressive approach to reshape the higher education funding system. The current system in place bases college funding on the amount of students attending the college. The new system Governor Kasich is trying to put in place would have funding be completely reliant on the colleges graduation rate, or “performance”. The system has been up for debate for years. This performance-based system has been attempted before inside the United States with minimal success. There is about a 350 million dollar budget that needs to be dispersed fairly throughout the state, and Governor Kasich strongly believes that funding based on performance provides enough incentives for colleges and students to strive for success. Kasich devised a committee of the higher education leaders of Ohio. The governor appointed E. Gordon Gee, former president of Ohio Sate University, to lead the charge to redesign the college funding system in Ohio. Roderick J. McDavis, the president of Ohio University, completely supports the new system in his article “Higher Education Funding: Getting the Complete Picture”. The title contradicts the article itself because McDavis gives far from “the complete picture”. The performance-based system put in place by Ohio representatives needs some adjusting before there could be any level of success. The performance-based system was designed so it would help acquire funding for all...

...watched and most liked game sport in the United States of America. Many people have made major impacts on the sport and many people will leave even larger impacts in the future. There have been many great coaches in history but Bo Schembechler and his Wolverines forever changed what the word rivalry means in football. Bo schembechler was born on april 1,1929 in Barberton, Ohio and his birth name was Glenn Edward Schembechler Jr. Only Later in life was Schembechler given his famous nickname Bo. Bo’s sister Marge used to only be able to say “bobo” instead of brother so his parents and friends started calling him Bo and the name just stuck. Bo’s father was a firefighter and according to Bo he was a great role model. Bo often told one story of his father that showed how special he was to Bo; Bo’s father was up for a promotion to become fire chief and he was offered the answers to the test in advance so he would get the job. Bo’s father declined even though he knew his opponent was cheating on the test. Bo’s father ended up losing the job by one question on the test but he always said that this was...

...Ohio V. Robinette Presented By: Ricky Mendez December 1, 2011 Outline I. The Case Ohio V. Robinette II. Trial Court Out Come III. Appeals Court’s Decision The Case Ohio V. Robinette In Ohio v. Robinette, 519 U.S. 33 (1996), the U.S. Supreme court held that the Fourth Amendment does not require police officers to inform a motorist at the end of a traffic stop that they are free to go before seeking permission to search the motorist’s car (Wikipedia 2011). In the case, respondent Robert D. Robinette was stopped for speeding by Deputy Roger Newsome of the Montgomery County Sheriff Office, since he had no prior violation; the officer gave him a verbal warning and returned his driver’s license(Cornell University Law School 1996). Shortly After, the deputy asked Robinette, before he gets going whether he was carrying any illegal contraband, weapons, drug’s, or such things in his car. That’s when Robinette answered that he did not have any of those things in his car. Then the deputy asked him if he would let him search the car for such things and Robinette gave consent to a search of the car. At the same time Robinette, felt like he had to let the officer search the car because he did not know that he could have simply said no and been free to go. Robinette, along with many other citizens feel that they do not have a choice in denying a request by a police officer. They are not familiar with the laws and rights that they have, especially during a routine traffic...

...Assignment 2: Public University Analysis Professor JoEtta Malone Course Title ACC410006VA016-1126-001 September 3, 2012 One benefit that many employees either have or wish they had is contribution into a pension or retirement plan. From an accounting view point, there are many guidelines that need to be followed for companies or universities with these plans. The GASB has proposed changes recently that will affect the pension liability on the financial statements of universities and other non-profits. I have looked at the financial statements of the Ohio State University. The Ohio State University has two basic retirement plans available to their employees. The most popular plan is “covered by the Public Employees System of Ohio (OPERS)”. Their second plan is one in which the employee can “participate in” an “Alternative Retirement Plan (ARP)”. The major difference between the two is the OPERS is a defined benefit plan which includes contributions made by the employee, contribution matches made by the university and also other fringe benefits offered to their members. The ARP is a defined contribution plan that only includes contributions made by the employee and contribution matches made by the university. GASB has provided guidelines for Statement No. 67 and Statement No. 68 which make universities and non-profits account for future obligations...

...never win a bigger game,” Woody Hayes exclaimed, years later at a banquet, in reference to Michigan’s win over Ohio State in 1969. The Michigan football program saw great change in 1969, under new coach Bo Schembechler. While the season proved to be ordinary, an 8-3 record overall, it started the ‘Ten Year War’ between Schembechler and Hayes and rejuvenated the Michigan football program. The 1969 Michigan win over Ohio State remains as one of the greatest upsets in college football history which, is one reason I would want to be in attendance. Additionally, this game had a huge societal impact in its ability to launch big time college football and the ideals that come along with it. In 1968 Ohio State beat Michigan...

...Midwestern University decides to enforce its alcohol policy against A & B? To begin my analysis of this case I would first like to point out the fact that A, B, and C have all violated the state laws of Ohio in regard to underage drinking as the legal age to drink in Ohio from my knowledge and the case facts are 21 years of age. The alcohol policies at institutions of higher education mimic the state law of its location. At a minimum, the law requires colleges to: • “Provide students with information about the laws regulating alcohol and drug use, • Institute penalties for breaking local, state, federal, and campus rules, • Publicize the health risks associated with the abuse of alcohol, and • Make counseling, treatment, or rehabilitation programs available to the students” (FindLaw)...
