Higher Education And The Promise Of Opportunity, Robert L. Woodbury
Higher Education And The Promise Of Opportunity, Robert L. Woodbury
New England Journal of Public Policy
The article portrays the passage of the Higher Education Act of 1965 as a watershed event, much like the Morrill Land Grant Act and the G.I. Bill, in the history of opening higher education to a broader range of citizens. What had once been a largely private enterprise for the elite became an increasingly public commitment to make a college and university education accessible to anyone qualified to take advantage of the opportunity. In the last two decades, however, that promise has faded as costs have escalated, financial aid has become less available to the needy, federal and state support …

Intellectual Humility And The Art Of Disagreement At The Christian College, James S. Spiegel
Intellectual Humility And The Art Of Disagreement At The Christian College, James S. Spiegel
Growth: The Journal of the Association for Christians in Student Development
Education at a Christian college properly features both honest inquiry and unwavering allegiance to core theological standards, such as those embodied in the classical creeds. This combination of commitments can create tension for the Christian educator, as insistence upon doctrinal allegiance can inadvertently reinforce dogmatic attitudes so common among late adolescents. In this paper I discuss the virtue of intellectual humility and its importance for combating student dogmatism in an atmosphere of steadfast Christian commitment. After distinguishing between theological essentials and disputable matters, I discuss philosophical and theological grounds for being intellectually humble. And I illustrate ways in which faculty …

Tales From Two Cities: Service-Learning As A Christian Educational Practice, Todd Ream
Tales From Two Cities: Service-Learning As A Christian Educational Practice, Todd Ream
Growth: The Journal of the Association for Christians in Student Development
As an educational practice, service-learning offers an important means by which to work toward the integration of the curricular and co-curricular efforts on our respective campuses. However, the larger conceptual framework through which service-learning is defined and exercised is driven by what Augustine defines as the city of the world in a way that neglects the significance of what he referred to as the City of God. In this article, I identify the roots of this problem and offer an alternative conceptual framework for service-learning as a Christian educational practice. This conceptual framework challenges Christian educators to not just engage …

Creating A Better Campus: Removing The Fear From Schizophrenia, Benjamin Schultze
Creating A Better Campus: Removing The Fear From Schizophrenia, Benjamin Schultze
The Vermont Connection
As schizophrenia may afflict a college student at any time, either before or after enrollment, do college student personnel have the knowledge and preparedness to deal with the disease? The advancement of antipsychotic drugs will inevitably mean that schizophrenic students will be able to function on college campuses in unprecedented numbers while living with the disease. This article will give a general overview of schizophrenia, perhaps one of the least understood mental health diseases, so that student affairs professionals are equipped to understand and offer support to students who develop or already have the disease.

Bursting The Bubble: How Time-Off Student Reintegrate Into The College Campus Community, Khristian Kemp-Delisser
The Vermont Connection
Every year the incoming student body includes those returning from time-off, or a leave of absence, lasting from semesters to years. How did their time away from the classroom affect their return? How will this time away affect the rest of their college career? What were the causes of their time-off? How did they decide when to return? What immediate issues did they face upon their return? The author will explore the experience of returning students, suggesting tips for student affairs professionals to help students incorporate their experience away from school into their learning and development in college.

Factors Associated With Student Grades In Animal Physiology I, Margo Hale, Charles Rosenkrans

In Quest Of True Equality: A Study Of The Climate For Women At Gettysburg Since 1975, Sara Gustafson
In Quest Of True Equality: A Study Of The Climate For Women At Gettysburg Since 1975, Sara Gustafson
The Gettysburg Historical Journal
In 2003, the election of Katherine Haley Will as Gettysburg College’s thirteenth president began a new era for women on campus. Will will be the first female president in the history of the college, and her election signifies the tremendous legal and psychological changes that have shaken both the college and the nation over the past quarter century. Federal legislation, the slowly-broadening vision of the school’s administration, and the proactive stance taken by women themselves have contributed to making Gettysburg College a place of seemingly strong gender equality.
Student Affairs Professionals: Path To The Presidency, Shane Mcgoey
Student Affairs Professionals: Path To The Presidency, Shane Mcgoey
The Vermont Connection
This study examined a sample of senior student affairs officers (n=22) who successfully attained the presidency at an institution of higher education. An analysis of participants’ vitae was used to examine three areas that seem historically vital for a successful college president: teaching/research, fundraising, and administrative experience. Results indicate that senior student affairs officers who have attained the college or university presidency possess strong backgrounds in two of the three areas identified above; specifically, senior student affairs officers’ experience in teaching/research and administration were strong. Conversely, experience in fundraising was lacking among many of the participants surveyed.

This annotated bibliography introduces eight leadership texts, providing the reader with an opportunity for thought and reflection on current practice. The texts include a mix of popular titles and higher education-specific works that can be applied for use in the higher education setting.

This paper explores the challenges of galvanizing substantive change within the academy. By focusing on the arrival of a new president and his strategic desire to institute an interdisciplinary honors college amidst a traditionally fractionalized campus, the authors explore the dynamics of change within the organizational structure of The University of Vermont. Through this exploration the authors offer a forward-looking perspective on the critical importance of leadership and followership among university subcultures in affecting transformational change in higher education.

The Collision: College Students, Family Problems And University Life, Jacque Little
The Vermont Connection
Parental divorce can have a forceful effect on children of all ages and stages of life. Currently, 25%-35% of college students come from divorced families (Archer & Copper, 1998; Johnson & Nelson, 1998). According to recent studies, family functioning significantly impacts the lives and development of college students. The focus of this article is the connection between family functioning and the issues college students may face, as well as how student affairs professionals might reach out to these students.

A Believer And A Skeptic Agree In A Postmodern World, Nicole Chabot, Michelle A. Luff
The Vermont Connection
Through distinct personal narratives we will compare our religious discoveries from childhood to the present day. We will explain spirituality as a pivotal part of our self-realization throughout college and our initial inspiration to search for our respective higher beings. We attempt to explain our drastically different religious and spiritual backgrounds while also presenting parallels that allow us to find a common understanding of faith.
