It is impossible to spend sufficient time on the works we will be exploring within the bounds of class-time, so you will be required to spend time reading and writing on your own; this is a practice that will enable you to bring your personal experiences with these works to our discussions in class and participate in an engaged way as part of our community of learning. But our community of learning is broader than the classroom—it also includes the community organizations you will be partnering with for your service-learning. We will be investigating and interrogating a versatile metaphor—cultivation—and how it impacts the cultures and communities in which we live...

The work brings up that success comes from developing personal leadership, from which leadership of others can follow. I had the opportunity to participate in a one day seminar with Mr. Covey, sponsored by my employer in 2010. At the time I took the seminar, I was an experienced software developer but I wanted to transition to the role of project manager. Covey’s work helped me to identify and work on some of my behaviors, which in turn helped me to take on the project manager role successfully to date. I executed a particular approach, I applied Covey’s teachings to my transition to project management, and then to a personal level. One of the good consequences at a personal level was obtaining my bachelor’s degree at Western Governors University, in 2014. Covey’s work proposes that just changing outward behaviors or attitudes is not the way to succeed. First, our principles, the way we perceive the...

...ENHANCEMENT OF VETERINARY TRAINING AT THE AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY, ZARIA. A PROPOSAL FOR THE REVIEW OF VETERINARY EDUCATION AT THE AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY TO FACILITATE LINKAGES WITH THE KANSAS AND IOWA STATE UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HASSAN, Adamu Zoaka MARCH 2011 1.0 INTRODUCTION When Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) was established in 1962, it was decided to give particular attention to Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. Therefore, in 1964, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was established at ABU following the signing of an agreement between the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Kansas State University (KSU). According to this agreement, KSU/USAID was to provide initial staff and equipment to the new Faculty to enable it develop the following: (a) a well-equipped Veterinary School to train and supply Veterinarians for Nigeria and the rest of West African countries; (b) a postgraduate training programme in Veterinary Medicine; (c) a research programme to improve Animal Health, production and Public Health in Nigerian; (d) train Nigerians to staff and assume major roles in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine as soon as possible; and; (e) advise on facilities and programme for future development and expansion of the Faculty. Professor G.K.J.L. Underberg (Kansas State University) arrived on September 15, 1964 as the first Dean of the...

...Mary’s University embodies an ideal reflection of a universal, Marianist education. Through the Honors Program, I engaged in a rigorous yet stimulating curriculum that comprised a diversity of courses. Self-awareness and insight—two notions that are imperative to an effective leader and a valuable member of society—were at the core of most of these courses. Personally, Prospects for Community and Civilization, a capstone seminar taught by Dr. Glenn Hughes, was immensely influential on my perception on human relationships and individualism within integrated communities. These concepts are essential in cultivating communities that promote individuality while remaining interconnected politically, socially, or theologically. These core classes have enabled me to make conscious decisions that have influenced my life and my community, and will continue to enable me to make such decisions as I transition into a full-time career and become more involved in the political nature of...

...“Decided,” “Undecided,” and “In Transition”: Implications for Academic Advisement, Career Counseling, & Student Retention Joe Cuseo Introduction The objective of this article is twofold: (a) to critically review research on how students’ process of decision making with respect to selecting college majors and careers relates to their persistence in college, and (b) to tease-out practical implications of this research for improving the academic advisement, long-range planning, and retention of first-year students. The majority of new students entering higher education leave their initial college of choice without completing a degree (Tinto, 1993), and national attrition rates have been increasing since the early 1980s at two-year and four-year institutions, both public and private (Postsecondary Education Opportunity, 2002). At all types of higher education institutions, including highly selective colleges and universities, the most critical period or stage of vulnerability for student attrition continues to be the first year of college (“Learning Slope,” 1991). More than half of all students who withdraw from college do so during their first year (Consortium for Student Retention Data Exchange, 1999), resulting in a first-year attrition rate of more than 25% at four-year institutions, and approximately 50% at two-year institutions (ACT, 2003). Retention research suggests that student commitment to educational and career goals is perhaps the strongest factor...

Although ‘language learning’ is considered less important than language acquisition, most of what is learned has been coming from the formal teaching in school. It is also said that the acquisition of grammatical structures follows a ‘natural order’ which is predictable. For a given language, some grammatical structures tend to be acquired early while others late. It can be derived that language learning could also be predictable and that grammatical structures...
