Higher Education, Adaptive Change, And The Adult Learner: Moving From Academic Access To Transformative Excellence, Patrick Guilbaud, Heather Tillberg-Webb

Winthrop Faculty and Staff Publications

As the profile of postbaccalaureate students across the country continues to become older and more diverse, colleges and universities of all sizes and types — state, private, technical, and community — are repositioning themselves to effectively serve a broader mix of learners. However, due to the unique background, professional goals, and academic interests of adult learners, higher education institutions (HEIs) must be adaptive across all of their program development, education delivery, administrative service, and student support units to meet the challenge of serving all of their learner constituencies effectively.

Patrons, Patron Saints, And Pew, Mark Y. Herring

Winthrop Faculty and Staff Publications

Those of us who work these intellectual mines fill our buildings with the good, the bad, and the ugly of human endeavor, preserving all that chronicles everything that is right about us, and all that may well be wrong with us. If ever libraries were more torn between two lovers, as it were, it is now, when we are pressed on every side to be all things to all kinds of people. The question is, will it ever be enough? Will we be found wanting by the very patrons we seek to serve?

The Sky Is Falling, But Not For The Reason You Think, Mark Y. Herring

Winthrop Faculty and Staff Publications

n case you missed it, the world is about to come to an end. I’m not a scryer or a doomsayer, nor am I especially prescient. But judging from the hysteria surrounding the Apple phone/FBI case, one can only conclude that the world is coming to an end, the sky is falling, civilization as we know it is coming to an end if Apple loses its gallant fight for the little millions who bought its phones.

Little Red Herrings:Charlie Hebdo And The Moral Equivalence Fallacy, Mark Y. Herring

Winthrop Faculty and Staff Publications

The tragedy of Charlie Hebdo in Paris kicked off what we hope is not a harbinger of 2015 things to come. The massacre by radical Muslims of some dozen employees of the satirical Paris magazine has set off a wave of newfound “freedom of expression” advocates. And so it should. While freedom of expression does not mean that one must accept what another says, it does vouchsafe the right to say it.

Culture Forming Can Be Messy, Frank Ardaiolo

Winthrop Faculty and Staff Publications

What does it mean to change institutional culture? Many institutions genuinely promote their commitments and even appear to take action toward achieving them—but too often, their work produces few sustainable results.

Teaching Students Personal And Social Responsibility With Measurable Learning Outcomes, Frank Ardaiolo, Steve Neilson, Timothy K. Daugherty

Winthrop Faculty and Staff Publications

In 2005 the Association of American Colleges and Universities launched a national initiative that championed the importance of a 21st-century liberal education. What was unique about this initiative was the underlying assumption that educating for personal and social responsibility was “core” for an educated citizenry and should be taught. So the question became “How does higher education teach responsibility?” Student affairs divisions atWinthrop University and Rollins College approached this question by focusing on collaborative programs and student learning experiences in the curriculum and cocurriculum with the ability to measure outcomes.

Winthrop Faculty and Staff Publications

Technology transfer enables private industry and academia to make practical use of advanced research, development, and technical expertise.
