This study explored one Georgia university’s persistence and achievement among first-time first-generation college students who participated in dual enrollment programs. First generation students are more likely to withdraw from college enrollment …

Income-Driven Repayment And The Public Financing Of Higher Education, John R. Brooks Jan 2016

Income-Driven Repayment And The Public Financing Of Higher Education, John R. Brooks

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article provides the first comprehensive analysis in the legal literature of the federal government’s new income-driven student loan repayment programs, known as Income-Based Repayment and Pay As You Earn. In a set of gradual and little-noticed statutory and regulatory moves, the federal government, through these programs, has dramatically reshaped higher education finance in ways that schools, students, and even the government itself are only beginning to understand.

Under IBR and PAYE, a student borrower pays no more than 10% of her discretionary income in loan service payments, and after a maximum of 20 years, the remaining debt is forgiven—for …

Analog:Digital, The Digital Spine: A 1 X 1 Strategy For Integrating Digital Tools In Foundation Design Studios, Ting Chin, Claudia E. Hernandez Feiks Jan 2016

Analog:Digital, The Digital Spine: A 1 X 1 Strategy For Integrating Digital Tools In Foundation Design Studios, Ting Chin, Claudia E. Hernandez Feiks

Publications and Research

Architectural education today needs to foster the inherent conceptual and creative thought processes the profession demands but also knowledge of all of the tools that allow architects to create and produce their work. Over the last 25 years the number of digital tools used in the practice of architecture has increased exponentially. Incorporating these digital tools, together with analog ones still being taught in most undergraduate programs today, is overstretching already overloaded architectural curricula. This leaves us to consider how we maintain the quality of teaching as the quantity of content increases and the amount of time with students remains …

Finding Common Ground: Identifying And Eliciting Metacognition In Eportfolios Across Contexts, Julie A. Bokser, Sarah Brown, Caryn Chaden, Michael Moore, Michelle Navarre Cleary, Susan C. Reed, Eileen Seifert, Kathryn Wozniak, Liliana Barro Zecker Dec 2015

Finding Common Ground: Identifying And Eliciting Metacognition In Eportfolios Across Contexts, Julie A. Bokser, Sarah Brown, Caryn Chaden, Michael Moore, Michelle Navarre Cleary, Susan C. Reed, Eileen Seifert, Kathryn Wozniak, Liliana Barro Zecker

Michelle Navarre Cleary

Research has suggested ePortfolios reveal and support students’ metacognition, that is, their awareness, tracking, and evaluation of their learning over time. However, due to the wide variety of purposes and audiences for ePortfolios, it has been unclear whether there might be common criteria for identifying and assessing metacognition in ePortfolios across varied contexts. The purpose of this study was to identify evidence of metacognition across ePortfolios of three distinct populations of students: traditional-age undergraduates, graduate Education students, and adults returning to school to complete a bachelor’s degree. We set out to explore if and how ePortfolios could support these different …

A Quantitative Analysis Of The Academic, Athletic, And Social Domain Perceptions Of Division I Football Players, Laurel Traynowicz, C. Keith Harrison, Ginny Mcpherson-Botts, Scott Bukstein Jd, Suzanne Malia Lawrence

Scott Bukstein JD

The purpose of this study was to assess the results of a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I football team in terms of male student-athletes’ (N = 78) perceptions of identity development and the athletic career transition process in the context of student engagement research literature in higher education. Previous research with the Life After Sports Scale (LASS) (Harrison & Lawrence, 2002, 2003, 2004; Lawrence & Harrison, 2011), a 58-item mixed method inventory, has focused on the Division II male and female student-athlete experience. Using validation theory (Rendon, 1994) and student engagement frameworks, we found three major findings that …

Surprise, Sensemaking, And Success In The First College Year: Black Undergraduate Men’S Academic Adjustment Experiences, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D., Christopher B. Newman

Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.

Background: Much has been written about Black undergraduate men’s out-of-class engagement and social experiences, identity development, participation in intercollegiate athletics, and college enrollment and completion rates. Too little is known about their academic readiness and first-year college adjustment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand Black male students’ academic transition experiences in the first college year, with a particular emphasis on how they resolved academic challenges with which they were confronted.

Setting: This study was conducted at 42 colleges and universities in 20 states across the United States. Six institution types were included: private liberal …

Understanding The Meaning-Making Processes Of Hispanic College Students In Their Spiritual And Religious Development., Roland Nunez, John D. Foubert Dec 2015

Understanding The Meaning-Making Processes Of Hispanic College Students In Their Spiritual And Religious Development., Roland Nunez, John D. Foubert

John D. Foubert

This study used narrative inquiry to understand what spirituality
and religiosity meant to Hispanic students attending a large,
Midwestern university in the United States. The study consisted
of interviews with 10 Hispanic students who discussed their
spiritual and religious beliefs from childhood through college.
Findings supported current literature that spirituality increases
and religiosity decreases during college. However, after an
initial decline in religiosity during the first year of college,
participants reported a noteworthy increase shortly after
college began. Secondly, students’ spiritual and religious beliefs
were closely tied to their family, supporting research on familial
centrality in Hispanic culture.

The Band Came Back (Sousa -1895/Clarke - 1926/Rager - 2016), Dan Rager Dec 2015

The Band Came Back (Sousa -1895/Clarke - 1926/Rager - 2016), Dan Rager

Dan Rager

PowerPoint Presentation:

The Band Came Back: For lack of a better description, this music was billed as a “fantastic episode.” To catch the audience by surprise it was always programmed by Sousa as the first piece after an intermission. The house lights were turned off, revealing an empty stage. Slowly and deliberately, the musicians entered, playing singly, in pairs, trios or quartets. Each played some popular tune upon entering, sometimes with an accompaniment provided by musicians already onstage. Only after all of his players had entered and were seated did Sousa make his appearance, conducting only the last note. Although …

Student Newspaper Funding Issues On Public University Campuses In Ohio: Higher Education Administrators Vs. Student Journalists, Terry L. Hapney Jr. Dec 2015

Student Newspaper Funding Issues On Public University Campuses In Ohio: Higher Education Administrators Vs. Student Journalists, Terry L. Hapney Jr.

Terry L. Hapney Jr., Ph.D.

Cases of college and university administrators using
funding for student publications as a mechanism to attempt
to exercise control over student media arise on a
fairly steady basis (Hapney & Russo, 2013). Occasionally,
this comes in the form of student government associations
that defund student newspapers in retaliation for
reportage. Usually, funding provided by administrators
and student government associations is not a license to
control student newspapers on public university campuses,
in particular (2013). Struggles and conflict between
university administrators and student journalists
over who controls student newspapers in Ohio is evident—
including the issue of funding (Hapney & Lucas, …

It Is A Different World? Providing A Holistic Understanding Of The Experiences And Perceptions Of Non-Black Students At Historically Black Colleges And Universities., Andrew Arroyo, Ed.D, Robert T. Palmer, Phd, Dina C. Maramba, Phd Dec 2015

It Is A Different World? Providing A Holistic Understanding Of The Experiences And Perceptions Of Non-Black Students At Historically Black Colleges And Universities., Andrew Arroyo, Ed.D, Robert T. Palmer, Phd, Dina C. Maramba, Phd

Robert T. Palmer, PhD

This qualitative study contributes an original holistic understanding of the perceptions and experiences of non-Black students (e.g., Asian American, Latino, and White) as they matriculate into historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), persist to graduation, and reflect on their experiences as graduates at HBCUs. Findings from this study confirm, challenge, and extend existing research regarding the preenrollment experience, institutional experience, and culminating outcomes of non-Black students enrolled in HBCUs. Implications are offered for researchers, practitioners, and current and future non-Black HBCU students.

Student Political Engagement In The Co-Curriculum: Understanding The Role Of Senior Student Affairs Officers, Demetri L. Morgan, Cecilia M. Orphan Dec 2015

Student Political Engagement In The Co-Curriculum: Understanding The Role Of Senior Student Affairs Officers, Demetri L. Morgan, Cecilia M. Orphan

Demetri L. Morgan, Ph.D.

The apolitical nature of the civic engagement movement poses challenges to our 
democracy (Saltmarsh & Hartley, 2011). The co-curricular experience is well positioned to 
address this phenomenon but little research exists to inform practice. This qualitative study 
uncovers how the socialization of senior student affairs officers (SSAO) influences 
approaches to student civic/political development. Implications for practice and future 
research are presented based on the findings from the study.
