Emergency Loan Need Among Graduate Students Signals Debt Trends In Higher Education May Influence The Expansion Of The U.S. Economy Long-Term, Efosa C. Idemudia, Ralph Ferguson

Faculty Publications - The LeMoyne Smith School of Business

This article proposes that the rising cost of graduate education and debt may suppress interest of domestic and international students in advanced education and impact the market economy. There are three challenges indicated through emergency loan need increases that deter students from graduate education. First, intellectual and skills growth has been a path to wealth building with the cost of education modest and not a potential lifetime debt. Second, Responsibility Centered Management (RCM), galvanized due to reduction of state and federal funds to support education, may have the detrimental effect of exponentially increasing tuition and fees to maintain programs, staff, …

Mimosa 2013/2014, Jacksonville State University

JSU Yearbooks

The JSU Yearbook Collection spans the years from 1926 to the present. The publication began in 1926 as the Teacola (some volumes spelled "Teacoala") and continued under this title through 1933. The yearbook appears to have ceased printing after that year; the student newspaper took the name Teacola (later changed to the Collegian and finally the Chanticleer) and began publication in 1934. The yearbook started up again in 1947 under the name Mimosa. The Library holds all volume years that were printed: 1926-1933, 1947-1950, 1952-present.

Program Factors Associated With Influencing Generalist Career Plans Among Primary Care Im Residents, Olatunde Ibukunoluwa Bosu

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The combination of a rapidly aging US population with the recent implementation of the Affordable Care Act has prompted a dramatic rise in health care demand for primary care services, most notably for general internal medicine physicians. This demand, however, coincides with a progressive decline in interest toward general internal medicine (GIM) careers with a notable disinterest among Primary Care Internal Medicine (PCIM) residents, whose selection of the PCIM residency is seemingly suggestive of a strong interest in GIM. The reasons for this discrepancy have been examined in prior surveys, citing perceptions of diminished lifestyle control, low prestige, and of …

Culture, Caregiving, And Health: Exploring The Influence Of Culture On Family Caregiver Experiences, Jennifer Pharr, Carolee Dodge Francis, Christine Terry, Michele Clark

School of Public Health Faculty Research

Ethnic minorities are expected to experience a greater demand for family caregiving than non-Latino Whites due to their projected population growth. Although the consensus of researchers on caregiving and culture finds that the caregiving experience differs significantly among cultural/ethnic groups, the question remains as to how cultural values and norms influence the caregiver experiences. We conducted an interpretative, phenomenological qualitative analysis of focus group transcripts from four groups (African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and European American) for cultural influences on caregiving. Data were collected in Nevada between December 7, 2009, and August 20, 2010. Thirty-five caregivers participated in this …
