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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
