...1. How do you describe your College of Human Ecology experience (beyond that it is a small community within the context of a larger institution) to others? Feel free to include any surprises and/or challenges. If I had to describe the College of Human Ecology to other people, I would emphasize one word: interdisciplinary. One of the most unique aspects of the College of Human Ecology is how interdisciplinary the majors are. The curriculum structures of each major is very open and flexible, which encourages the students to pursue a lot of different academic disciplines and form dynamic connections between them. For me, personally, as a premed, the College of Human Ecology is really going to prepare me for the medical field because it will teach me to look at problems from a variety of different perspectives. Today’s medical problems are so complex, and they cannot be solved from purely a “hard science” perspective anymore. The classes HumEc encourages me to take will help me look at these medical problems using knowledge of health policy, public health, psychology, and even nutrition. 2....

...Many of my friends wonder why I would willingly sit in a conference room for three hours every Friday, but after two years, that simple white and blue room has become a second home to me. The MinKwon Center is where my closest friendships are formed through our passion for immigration reforms. MinKwon highlighted social injustices happening to our community. After learning that some of my closest friends are undocumented with no way of paying for college, what I was doing in MinKwon became more than just volunteering. MinKwon taught me to use the power of my voice.

...a clear understanding of the consequences of introducing fundraising activities on behalf of a public university BEFORE embarking on this trail. The process has a large impact on your university and - at least in the short run - no definitive results. The case will demonstrate the challenges, pitfalls and successes experienced while developing a fundraising concept and implementing it, starting with a change of mindset, which is needed from the people involved: Philanthropy is a philosophical attitude towards the world and not just another way of acquiring funds. You have to master the principles and techniques involved as well as being able to answer the question: Why does your university exist, what is your mission, why should somebody become a donor of your university? On the one hand you will realize how difficult it is to give a convincing answer and on the other hand, how many other organizations compete with you for people's wallets. While taking good advice from a US partner, the University of Bremen adapted it to its specific needs, objectives and culture. The case will pay particular attention to the issues related to anchoring the fundraising approach in the institutional culture and to the issues of organizing it effectively.

Why had she been one of only three students with wheelchairs at the entire university? “The other two wheelchair riders were Australian students,” she says today. “I asked myself the question—where are the other people with disabilities, and why aren’t more people with disabilities able to have this type of study experience?” Her time in Australia, she says, was life-changing. “In between semesters, a friend and I got to hitchhike through New Zealand for six weeks,” she says. “We took overland buses to Malaysia and Thailand and Bali.

...Education On Students Christian Joseph Veloso Angeles Mrs. Cunanan English 00/00/2016 I. Introduction Sex education is a risks of rumor and speculation, where biology is a more of a subject to pass than the understanding of how the body functions. Adolescence is the time that girls get their period and when boys start having wet dreams. Sex is one of the few words that catch our attention. Whenever we see the word “sex” in magazines, newspapers and other print materials, we tend to stop at some point and become interested to read the article where it is written. It’s not because we simply feel the urge to read about sex but perhaps the “questioning self” wants to clarify and discover the truth about this matter. In liberal democracies, sex is viewed as a normal activity for both adults and teenagers. Whether they are married or not, in a serious relationship or just in a fling, they engage to this kind of human activity. For them, sex is not a big deal. So, their state colleges and universities came up with a decision to integrate sex education into their classrooms as a regular part of instructions. In the Philippines, it’s very different. Whenever we say the word “sex”, we are labeled as “rude”. No wonder why if we heard of “sex” we directly associate it to “vulgarity”. We cannot blame ourselves because we are living in a society with a stronghold of moral standards and conservatism. For sure, you haven’t heard your...

...“inject” or to put into the mind and in the heart of the students the value and importance of honesty during elections in order to reduce “pain” or to reduce the dishonesties and lies to happen during election. Elections have been practiced a long time ago; it’s one way for people to exercise their suffrage to vote to appoint their desired leaders. Philippines as a democratic country used election to appoint officials like senators and president. But with every election, news about vote buying, malicious tampering of votes, fraud and other dishonest acts increases. These kinds of acts are a start of an impending problem called corruption. To prevent corruption to take place, we need to take action first on our elections and make it clean and honest. Our team has come up to a campaign called “HONESTHESIA: Be the Cure” which aims to increase honest individuals and young voters to stop dishonest acts during school and nationwide elections.

In a state of dissonance, people may sometimes feel "disequilibrium": frustration, hunger, dread, guilt, anger, embarrassment, anxiety, etc. The phrase was coined by Leon Festinger in his 1956 book When Prophecy Fails, which chronicled the followers of a UFO cult as reality clashed with their fervent belief in an impending apocalypse. Festinger subsequently (1957) published a book called A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance in which he outlines the theory. Cognitive dissonance is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology. The theory of cognitive dissonance...

...the curriculum development process according to Tyler, Taba and Alexander & Saylor is the implementation of the curriculum plan. The final destination of any curriculum (whether it be a school, college, university or training organisation) is the classroom involving students, teachers, administrators and the community. Implementing the curriculum is the most crucial and sometimes the most difficult phase of the curriculum development process. Those responsible for implementing a curriculum often hear comments and concerns such as: o Teachers are already overloaded – how are they going to implement the new ideas. o Parents and education officers are only interested in a high pass rate in examinations – how are schools to incorporate suggested changes. These are real concerns and made worse when persons implementing the curriculum are not clear what is expected of them. How often have we heard people say, ‘the plan was good but implementation was poor’. On the other hand, if a curriculum plan is not implemented and remains on the shelf then all efforts in planning will be a sheer waste. A curriculum must be delivered and that means it must be implemented in the classroom if it is to make an impact on student learning. Good plans reaching the classroom are not properly implemented because of a lack of planning and preparation. In some curriculum development projects, implementation is not been given due consideration; not realising that innovations need careful planning...

...Queen’s University Belfast Queen’s University Management School. MGT2005 OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Semester 2, 2012 “You don’t have to change. . . Survival is not mandatory.” (Professor William E. Deming) Course Co-ordinator: Dr Yu Xiong Introduction to Operations Management Operations Management (OM) is a functional field of management encompassing the design, operation and improvement of the processes and systems employed in the creation and delivery of an organisation's products and services. Essentially, operations management is concerned with explaining how factories and services work. Managing operations well requires both strategic and tactical skills and is critical to every type of organization, for it is only through effective and efficient utilization of resources that an organization can be successful in the long run. A few common threads pervade the material we cover in this course: First, decision making in operations is highly context dependent. Recognising this is half the battle in managing an operation. The variety of operational contexts obscures the link between particular operational decisions and overall firm profitability. Making this link transparent is essential to making better operational decisions. Variability exists in any operation, and this variability needs to be managed Integration, both across functional areas within a firm, and across firms in the value creation and delivery network, is crucial for superior firm performance...

...Dear Lukas Raschilla, In your article, “Athletes are artists, not role models”, you claim that you are bewildered that anyone would view professional athletes as role models. By saying that sports figures are "not" and "shouldn't be expected" to be role models in their actions on and off the playing field is in my opinion giving a free pass for bad behavior. As the saying goes...to those who much has been given, much is expected. You claim, "athletes do not choose to be role models", but I feel anyone who holds a position of notoriety and popularity with the public should shoulder that admiration with dignity. As we know, merely by association in any career, be it sports, education, health care, government, and even religion, does not guarantee that the individuals will be positive role models. Instead, moral obligations need to be nurtured and, when necessary, consequences clearly enforced in incidents of conduct not befitting the role that person represents. It is unrealistic to think there will not be transgressions in the athletic arena as they are all human, but even this can serve as a valuable lesson to young fans. Charles Barkley is correct when he says in the Nike commercial that "parents should be the most important role model for kids" and no one expects a sports figure to replace that position, but it also takes a village to raise good citizens. Everyone that occupies attention in a child's life should realize that their actions will be seen and will affect the...
