Financial Statement Analysis Project: "The Big Simulation", Luna Y. Goldblatt, Joao Q. Chaves, Andrew M. Landman, Salmin B. Mwinjuma, Braden C. Vitelli

The project helps student learn to conduct financial statement analysis and appreciate the impact of these statements on company financial ratios and capital market performance.

On The Borders Of The Academy: Challenges And Strategies For First-Generation Graduate Students And Faculty, Alecea Ritter Standlee Jan 2018

On The Borders Of The Academy: Challenges And Strategies For First-Generation Graduate Students And Faculty, Alecea Ritter Standlee

Gettysburg College Faculty Books

One of the most significant achievements in US higher education during the latter half of the twentieth century was the increasing access enjoyed by historically marginalized populations, including women, people of color, and the poor and working class. With this achievement, however, has come a growing population of first generation students, including first-generation graduate students and faculty members, who struggle at times to navigate unfamiliar territory. This book offers insight into the challenges of first-generation status, as well as practical tools for navigating the halls of the academy for both academics and their institutional allies.

This portrait is hidden in plain sight, and countless people pass by it everyday on their way to an office, a classroom, or elsewhere.

What impact did he have on the history of Gettysburg College that makes him worthy of being remembered? The answer to those questions include many answers. Most formidable among these, however, was …
