Why I Volunteer, Demi Sintz
Journal of Nonprofit Innovation
I began working with nonprofit organizations as a youth advocate for Epilepsy Awareness, from there I became a Director of Fundraising events for an organization that assists families with the expenses of training and matching with a service dog.

10 Keys On Volunteerism, Angie Holzer
Journal of Nonprofit Innovation
Every year, the majority of nonprofits are run and sustained by volunteers around the United States (McKeever, 2016). There is a great need to better understand how to obtain and then retain these volunteers in helping move your cause forward as a nonprofit.

Uptake Processes In Academic Genres: The Socialization Of An Advanced Academic Writer Through Feedback Activities, Shakil Rabbi
Uptake Processes In Academic Genres: The Socialization Of An Advanced Academic Writer Through Feedback Activities, Shakil Rabbi
Journal of Response to Writing
Academic socialization has been a common framework in writing studies for decades. Recent scholarship on rhetorical genre studies and feedback on writing can develop this paradigm in generative ways. In particular, examining how writers take up feedback as they write in genres can inform how writing pedagogy understands such activities. This study examines and interprets the case of a graduate student as she works with in-person and textually mediated feedback in research group meetings and reviewers’ letters. Approaching graduate students as advanced academic writers—simultaneously performing the role of expert and learning the content needed to be a full member of …
Professors’ Views Of Content Transformation In Students’ Paraphrasing, Ling Shi
Professors’ Views Of Content Transformation In Students’ Paraphrasing, Ling Shi
Journal of Response to Writing
This study explores how paraphrasing transforms and integrates meaning from reading into writing. Findings are based on interviews with 27 professors who commented on 8 paraphrases written by graduate students. Both student writers and professors were selected from across cultural (Chinese and North American) and disciplinary (soft and hard) contexts. Results indicate that the participating professors tended to accept paraphrases that involved a selection or interpretation of the original source that accurately represented the source text, rather than those that contained a misunderstanding or additional ideas. The professors also suggested that students could add an explanation for the content transformation …
Spanish Writing Learners’ Stances As Peer Reviewers, Emilia Illana-Mahiques, Carol Severino
Spanish Writing Learners’ Stances As Peer Reviewers, Emilia Illana-Mahiques, Carol Severino
Journal of Response to Writing
This study explores the attitudes and perceptions about online peer review of 18 Spanish learners enrolled in a third-year college Spanish writing course. Students participated in peer review training, wrote a personal narrative, and completed two online peer review sessions before submitting their final narrative. Using data from questionnaires, interviews, a peer review simulation task, and the first author’s journal, this qualitative study investigates students’ approaches to peer review and the different practices they employ when commenting on their peers’ drafts. Results show that even though students receive the same training, they interpret and enact that training differently. Students position …

Welcome To St. Peter! Jbs Celebrates The Bjorling Centenary, Ward Murray
Welcome To St. Peter! Jbs Celebrates The Bjorling Centenary, Ward Murray
Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
Many of us arrived in St. Peter on June 22nd to dark grey skies, blustery wind, and only 65 degrees Fahrenheit: we went scurrying to the Gustavus Adolphus College store to buy hoodies and windbreakers. This was in stark contrast to the balmy temperatures and blue skies a decade earlier. The grey clouds extended to the news that our president and driving force behind the centenary conference, Sue Flaster, would be unable to attend because of a painful back injury.

Ceal Task Force For Review Of The Ermb Interim Report, Naomi Shiraishi, Charlene Chou, Liangyu Fu, Xiuying Zou
Journal of East Asian Libraries
In response to the huge demand of managing e-resources, ERMB (The CEAL Task Force on Metadata Standards and Best Practices for East Asian Electronic Resources) was charged to investigate the best practices for creating, manipulating, and managing electronic content and metadata for resources in East Asian languages in November 2013. In light of emerging trends such as digital humanities, digital harvesting and repositories as well as e-resources metadata in the next-gen library systems, the CEAL Task Force for Review of the ERMB was formed in June 2020 and was charged to examine the current ERMB Task Force’s charge to see …

Gaufinia, A New Stonefly Genus (Plecoptera: Chloroperlidae), With The Description Of Six New Species From Western North America, Bill P. Stark, Richard W. Baumann
Monographs of the Western North American Naturalist
Gaufinia is proposed as a new genus for the Sweltsa lamba (Needham and Claassen 1925) species group, and 5 current and 6 new species are recognized based primarily on scanning electron microscopy of the male epiproct. Males of the new genus are distinguished from all other Chloroperlidae by the presence of a distinctive leaf-like aedeagal lamella. A preliminary key for males of the 11 currently recognized species is presented to assist in identification.

Andrew Farkas, James A. Drake Ph.D.
Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
In any list of debts owed to the founders and members of the prestigious international Jussi Björling Society, the name Andrew Farkas would surely be high upon that list. As almost all members are aware, he is a founding member and advisor of the Jussi Björling Society-USA, Inc., and is a contributing editor of its Journal. Having had the privilege of knowing him as a personal friend and university colleague (both of us are happily retired from the State of Florida higher-education system), and having benefitted (undeservedly on my part) from his wide-ranging expertise as a writer, editor, and …
Illegal Wildlife Trade In China, Anna Mcconkie
Illegal Wildlife Trade In China, Anna Mcconkie
Ballard Brief
International wildlife trafficking has become a low-risk. high-return illegal trade. China is a top demand country for wildlife products, and the current level of demand is both detrimental and unsustainable. Demand for wildlife in traditional Chinese medicine and as status symbols and investments, high profitability for supplying parties, complex and corrupt trafficking structures, and ineffective government policies and enforcement all contribute to the problem of wildlife trafficking. In addition to biodiversity loss, illegal wildlife trafficking provides funding for militant groups and introduces zoonotic diseases. One way to reduce demand is through targeted consumer campaigns that educate the public on problems …
Untreated Mental Illness Among Veterans In The United States, Erin Anderson
Untreated Mental Illness Among Veterans In The United States, Erin Anderson
Ballard Brief
In the United States. less than half of the veteran population have received screening or diagnosis for mental illness or have received mental health counseling and treatment, resulting in many veterans with severe mental health issues living without a proper diagnosis. Many factors contribute to these statistics, including negative social stigmas surrounding mental health, mistrust of mental health professionals. a lack of publicity and communication about veteran benefits, and limited amount of resources available to treat such a large population. Mental illness at this level impacts not only the quality of life of each veteran but also the livelihood of …

Ballard Brief
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major issue in sub-Saharan Africa. particularly in the country of Uganda. Three major types of IPV have been identified in Uganda: intimate partner physical violence. intimate partner emotional violence. and intimate partner sexual violence. Sixty-five percent of women in Uganda report experiencing at least one of these types of IPV. The major contributing factors to IPV in Uganda include cultural attitudes about violence among both women and men and patriarchal behaviors among men. Bride price, or the exchange of goods for a bride. and male alcohol abuse also raise rates of IPV among women. …
