I. Background
Introduction to the DePaul University Office
The Office of _____ is a division of Student affairs that focuses in on the adult
population of students. They work with various resources to help adult students
transition from their lives into the academic space. They are there to provide a
helping hand to students above the age of 24 pursuing any degree at the University.
The three primary methods this office utilizes are Programs, Advocacy, and Services.
By offering these three essential methods of support, this office hopes to ensure
success to all and any Adult Students who seek it.
DePaul University has built a name on diversity and a personable experience to
learning. To help assure that all populations of students are serviced, the University
has allocated many departments. The DePaul Office not only services adult students,
but leads a joint effort to provide for Veteran Students as well as Commuter Students.
Thus this Department is known as the Office of Adult, Veteran, and Commuter
Student Affairs. Each wing uses their own coordinators and resources to provide the
best experience for their populations.
II. Environments Affecting Higher Education For Adult Students
A. The education industry is vast. This specific market of education would be
considered higher education. This encompasses colleges, universities, specialty
programs, and any sort of higher learning. It larger than a 10 billion dollar
industry and growing every year. Competition for the education industry is the
work force or services where possible students begin working or enlist in
government programs. They also compete with households because many may
choose to be stay at home parents. The Higher Education Industry has many
subsets of programs and offices that help enhance the education experience for
Students. Advocacy programs compete with athletics and other inner school
departments. They also compete with hobbies such the gym or outside clubs with
no affiliation with the school. The amount of students seeking higher education is
a market of about 21.6 Million projected to be about 24 Million by the year 2020.
31% of Undergraduate enrollments are of Adult students (Aslanian 4). These are
adults seeking higher.

Evolving Needs of Community College Students
Historical Background
Community colleges were initially not distinctly identified on their own. Until the Clinton reforms of community colleges in the 1980s, community colleges were no different from junior colleges. The programs and organizational culture were not as developed, and the student needs were rarely attended to in the diverse way that they are today (Gavazzi et al., 2018). Students were assumed to be homogenous, with either a low economic background or substantially flat academic prowess. After the recognition and reinstatement as accredited institutions of merit, community college missions changed and became more student-centered.
The core programs were initially only vocational and for transfer to university purposes. Developmental education was not adequately developed, yet it contributed in a massive way to student retention and the student's ability to finish the program and progress to higher education. Community colleges have been very rigid in their approach to learning, governance, and even administration (Beach, 2011). Most of the changes that occur do not affect the entire institution but are marginalized to transform only a select few. These changes either influence a certain courses based on profitability or the trends in the business world, but rarely extend to other programs within the colleges.
Fiscal policies in community colleges are primarily dependent on the federal government because community college facilities are supposed to encourage the most economically disadvantaged. Tuition is very low compared to the capacity building needed to run the institutions, and the result is that the community colleges suffer from an ultimate shortage in the facility and consolidated programs that undermine the skill sets offered to the students (O'Banion, 2019). Traditionally this has been crippling the system’s ability to change the approach in which the curriculum, administration and governance is run.It creates a shortage of staff for capacity building purposes and an overall decline in the quality of education offered within the institution.
Current issues
Current issues relating to students' evolving needs include student performances that have been diverse depending on factors such as program choice. Programs in health sciences, for instance, have seen a very consistent high-performance culture that has been aided by the level of competency that the students in the courses (Fugle & Falk, 2015). About 98 percent of the students in classes such as a physician assistant, physical and occupational therapy, radiologic technicians, and nursing assistance have seen a very high return on investment in terms of their absorption into the workforce or their progression into b.

Discussion 3: Higher Education Institution Policy Proposal
According to Farber (2016), enrollment in colleges is continuously declining. This trend can be attributed to various factors such as failure to be accepted to one's school of choice, high tuition, and low diversity, among others. Hence, institutions are seeking ways of increasing students' enrollment rates. In this regard, a faculty in the business school can offer a vital perspective in enacting such changes in an institution since it facilitates direct interaction between administrators and students. There are three major themes, which higher education administrators should address if they want to increase students' access to higher education. First, there is the rise of online degree programs, which offers one with the flexibility to learn from remote locations at convenient times. Second, there is the aspect of diversity, which makes people from various backgrounds feel valued in an institution. Finally, there is the issue of high tuition fees, which locks out students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
A policy that a faculty in a business school can enact to enhance students' access to affordable and high-quality education is to offer high-quality degree programs on online platforms. Currently, there is a limited number of quality degree programs that can be accessed on online platforms. However, an institution that fully adopts online programs can cover all the three themes identified above. Online applications will ensure that there is no limit to the number of students that can enroll in an institution since there are no considerable infrastructure demands to host the learners. Such a policy will ensure that a student can enroll in an institution of his/her choice at considerably low tuition rates. More so, such a system will increase diversity in a learning institution. For lessons that require practicals, the institution can liaise with local partners so that there is a schedule on when a batch of students goes for practicals. A faculty in a business school is best placed to consider the logistics of student learning in such a setup.

Should Everyone Go to College – Rhetorical Analysis
Education is believed to be the key to success. It is considered a smart investment associated with a number of benefits including earning more money and job satisfaction among others. Higher education is beneficial but may not be a smart investment for those attending it. Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill argue that a college degree should not be a must to everyone. The enormous variation existing in the return to education based on several factors such as the field of study and institution attended among others are some factors to consider when thinking of higher education as a must investment. Despite the positive return on education, higher education may not be a smart investment to everyone. Student should be allowed to choose wisely their postsecondary education to ensure that they fully benefit from their choice. (In thesis, clarify the strength of ethos, pathos, logos in the article.)
Target Audience(no subtitle)
Going for higher education is valuable though it may not be the best investment for all young people who intend to college. Benefits of attending college include improved overall wellbeing and reduced crime among others. As much higher education is valuable, it may not benefit all those who attend it equally. Policymakers who are the target audience should acknowledge the fact that higher education does not equally benefit all those who attend it. They should consider the rate of return as well as variations in rate of return on education before considering it the best investment. Owen and Sawhill illustrate why higher education is not necessarily a smart investment for everyone by focusing on rate of return. They illustrate how variation in the school attended, career chosen, and graduation affect the rate of return on education. The use rhetorical appeals to convince the policymakers that attending college may be a disservice to some students.
Rhetorical Appeals
Logos
The authors use logos to convince policymakers that attending college is beneficial but does not equally benefit all students. They illustrate the benefits of attending higher education by stating the gap that exists in annual earnings between college graduates and high school graduates that is quite appealing. A college graduates working full time should earn $15,000 more than a high school graduate. However, this is not the case because from previous studies, the rate of return for attending an additional year of school is approximately 10%. This means that an individual aged 23-25 years old attending college for four years should earn $12,000 more than a high school graduate on a median earning of $30,000 though it less than what is expected (p.209). Additionally, a research by Hamilton Project indicates that the gap in the earnings grows to $46,500 by age 50. This is a clear indication that investing in college is valuable.

Class sections are operating in many programs at the Caltech University, the enrollments overall have been on the decline. The impact of the extended class reductions, along with the improvement in the job market, has resulted in slowing enrollment recovery and little growth in many programs. There are various things which Caltech university are doing to help grow its programs strategically and manage the reducing enrollment and this include
· Offering relevant courses and programs which meet the market demand for skilled workers and targeting industries and profession by carefully examining and tracking the labor market trends in the region.
· They are implementing courses, support services, and programs that close gaps in the underrepresented minority population. The University has started scheduling a class at a time that is convenient for the targeted population, such as single-parents, working professionals, and older students. The changes in the program allow the student to complete their programs in a reasonable amount of time.
· Part of the change in the program includes making pathways to certificates, degrees, and transfer clear and accessible to all prospective and current students via education planning with advisors or counselors. This helps students manage their academic pathways.
· The University has started a program aim at effective retention and outreach. This new strategy aims at improving program sustainability, scalability, and scope. Some of the initiatives include learning communities, accelerated learning program options, and early alert.
· Finally, Caltech University must offer programs that are competitive within the region instead of providing programs that are available in many regional universities. This approach is supported by the presence of a suitable mix of online courses and campus courses. To boost enrollment, the University has articulated course and program offerings between non-credit and credit to widen the pipeline of potential students.
Retention of students
Finding from a study at the University hold that students do not complete some programs because of conflicts with employment, family responsibilities, new employment opportunities, and financial circumstances. Strategies for improving student retention should be made in a manner that programs reflect the conditions and needs of the students and should be designed and implemented to help learned to reach their academic goals (Baylor 2014). An essential theory of student retention is Tinto’s theory. According to this theory, students have some attributes such as prior schooling, family background, skills, and abilities, and these attributes influence personal commitments and goals. Moreover, student departure from an institution is a result of the socia.

A College Education Has Become An Essential Part Of The American Dreamnoblex1
A college education has become an essential part of the American Dream for millions of families. Indeed, extensive polling and focus group research conducted by our coalition of higher education associations in the last year clearly demonstrates that the public overwhelmingly believes higher education is vitally important for personal success. Furthermore, they believe that all children should have the chance to attend postsecondary education and, despite the high price, that college is a "good value" for the money.
On the other hand, the public also is greatly concerned about the affordability of higher education, believes it is too expensive, and thinks that the price can be brought down without affecting academic quality. The public vastly overestimates the price of higher education at all types of colleges and dramatically underestimates the amount of financial aid that is available to help meet college bills. They don't know where student aid comes from or how to apply for it. Nor does the public understand why college prices increase. Most worrisome, perhaps, they think college leaders are indifferent to their concerns about the price of attending college. Our research also demonstrates that Americans worry about financing a college education. The lack of knowledge about paying for college is most acute among at-risk populations — first-generation college students, low-income families, and members of minority groups.
The great divergence between the value that the public places on having access to higher education and the lack of information they have about what it costs and how to afford it — what we call "the knowledge gap" — is deeply troubling. No one with a commitment to higher education can be satisfied with the news that the public is so poorly informed about issues of choice and access. It is surely a danger signal that the public believes college officials are indifferent to their fears about being able to afford a postsecondary education for their children.
THE NEED FOR A NATIONAL COALITION
What can be done? We believe that two related steps are absolutely essential. First, colleges and universities must redouble their efforts to explain college costs, the prices that students are charged, the amount and sources of financial aid that are available, and the options for financing a college education. We must reach out to a broad range of business, community, and religious organizations and solicit their support in improving public understanding.
Second, and no less important, colleges and universities must take strong steps to manage and contain costs, share innovative and successful cost management strategies, expand efforts to explain why costs increase on campuses, and talk candidly about the steps that have been taken to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

The Real Economy in the Long Run
Purpose of Assignment
Students examine the long-run determinants of both the level and the growth rate of real GDP per person and the factors that determine the productivity of workers and what governments might do to improve the productivity of their citizens. Students will learn how saving and investment are coordinated by the loanable funds market and will see the effects of taxes and government deficits on saving, investment, the accumulation of capital, and ultimately, the growth rate of output. Students will be introduced to tools that people use when they participate in financial markets. Students will see how people compare different sums of money at different points in time, how they manage risk, and how these concepts combine to help determine the value of a financial asset, such as a share of stock. Students will be introduced to the labor market and how economists measure the performance of the labor market using unemployment statistics. Students will address a number of sources of unemployment and some policies that the government might use to lower certain types of unemployment.

· The University has started a program aim at effective retention and outreach. This new strategy aims at improving program sustainability, scalability, and scope. Some of the initiatives include learning communities, accelerated learning program options, and early alert.
· Finally, Caltech University must offer programs that are competitive within the region instead of providing programs that are available in many regional universities. This approach is supported by the presence of a suitable mix of online courses and campus courses. To boost enrollment, the University has articulated course and program offerings between non-credit and credit to widen the pipeline of potential students.
Retention of students
Finding from a study at the University hold that students do not complete some programs because of conflicts with employment, family responsibilities, new employment opportunities, and financial circumstances. Strategies for improving student retention should be made in a manner that programs reflect the conditions and needs of the students and should be designed and implemented to help learned to reach their academic goals (Baylor 2014). An essential theory of student retention is Tinto’s theory. According to this theory, students have some attributes such as prior schooling, family background, skills, and abilities, and these attributes influence personal commitments and goals. Moreover, student departure from an institution is a result of the socia ...
A College Education Has Become An Essential Part Of The American Dreamnoblex1
A college education has become an essential part of the American Dream for millions of families. Indeed, extensive polling and focus group research conducted by our coalition of higher education associations in the last year clearly demonstrates that the public overwhelmingly believes higher education is vitally important for personal success. Furthermore, they believe that all children should have the chance to attend postsecondary education and, despite the high price, that college is a "good value" for the money.
On the other hand, the public also is greatly concerned about the affordability of higher education, believes it is too expensive, and thinks that the price can be brought down without affecting academic quality. The public vastly overestimates the price of higher education at all types of colleges and dramatically underestimates the amount of financial aid that is available to help meet college bills. They don't know where student aid comes from or how to apply for it. Nor does the public understand why college prices increase. Most worrisome, perhaps, they think college leaders are indifferent to their concerns about the price of attending college. Our research also demonstrates that Americans worry about financing a college education. The lack of knowledge about paying for college is most acute among at-risk populations — first-generation college students, low-income families, and members of minority groups.
The great divergence between the value that the public places on having access to higher education and the lack of information they have about what it costs and how to afford it — what we call "the knowledge gap" — is deeply troubling. No one with a commitment to higher education can be satisfied with the news that the public is so poorly informed about issues of choice and access. It is surely a danger signal that the public believes college officials are indifferent to their fears about being able to afford a postsecondary education for their children.
THE NEED FOR A NATIONAL COALITION
What can be done? We believe that two related steps are absolutely essential. First, colleges and universities must redouble their efforts to explain college costs, the prices that students are charged, the amount and sources of financial aid that are available, and the options for financing a college education. We must reach out to a broad range of business, community, and religious organizations and solicit their support in improving public understanding.
Second, and no less important, colleges and universities must take strong steps to manage and contain costs, share innovative and successful cost management strategies, expand efforts to explain why costs increase on campuses, and talk candidly about the steps that have been taken to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

The Real Economy in the Long Run
Purpose of Assignment
Students examine the long-run determinants of both the level and the growth rate of real GDP per person and the factors that determine the productivity of workers and what governments might do to improve the productivity of their citizens. Students will learn how saving and investment are coordinated by the loanable funds market and will see the effects of taxes and government deficits on saving, investment, the accumulation of capital, and ultimately, the growth rate of output. Students will be introduced to tools that people use when they participate in financial markets. Students will see how people compare different sums of money at different points in time, how they manage risk, and how these concepts combine to help determine the value of a financial asset, such as a share of stock. Students will be introduced to the labor market and how economists measure the performance of the labor market using unemployment statistics. Students will address a number of sources of unemployment and some policies that the government might use to lower certain types of unemployment.

1).Over the last few centuries numerous historical events have t.docxcroftsshanon
1).Over the last few centuries numerous historical events have taken place that resulted in a major impact on the contemporary juvenile justice network in the United States. The notion of age of responsibility and maturity level has been the central focus since the inception of recorded history. The question remains today of when and under what circumstances children are capable of forming criminal intent ("Juvenile Justice", p. 5) which has led to continuous debates still occurring today.
Up until the early 1800s juvenile offenders in the United States received the same treatment and punishment as adult offenders. It was very common for juveniles to be housed with adults as well. In 1818, a New York City commission initiated the term "juvenile delinquency", and brought to the attention of the public eye and identified pauperism, or poverty, as a root cause of misbehavior amongst juveniles. In 1825, the Society for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency began to campaign for the separation of juveniles from adults. Over the course of the next few years, numerous juvenile institutions were established. These institutions, known as houses of refuge, primarily focused on education and treatment, instead of solely focusing on punishment ("Juvenile Justice", pp. 6-7).
With public warning from the New York City police chief, that violent juvenile offenses were steadily increasing, in 1849 the United States transitioned from houses of refuge to concentrating on reform schools and preventive agencies ("Juvenile Justice", p. 7) Industrial Schools for dependent children were founded in 1879, as a result of the Industrial School Act, preceded by the Chicago Reform School Act, but were later held unconstitutional. As a result of unsuccessful reform schools , the child savers movement developed during the post-Civil War era, with high and genuine concern for the welfare of children, leading to the establishment of the first juvenile/family court in 1899 ("Juvenile Justice", p. 8).
By 1932 the number of independent juvenile courts across the United States, exceeded 600. All states had enacted laws developing separate juvenile courts by 1945. Because juvenile courts were not criminal courts , juvenile offenders did not possess the same constitutional rights as accused adult offenders. Historical U.S. Supreme Court cases such as
Holmes
,
Kent v. United
States
, Gault
, and
McKeiver v. Pennsylvania
, mentioned in this week's reading, and their holdings, have all had a dramatic impact on the contemporary juvenile justice network in America ("Juvenile Justice", pp. 9-10).
A few other major historical legislative acts that dramatically impacted the contemporary juvenile justice network in the United States have been enacted by Congress over the years. The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency act of 1974, which established the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to support efforts - local and state - in delinquency prevention and juvenil.

Bernal in this journal attempts to determine how surveillance affects human rights which has raised a lot of concerns of late among many workers. Looking at how surveillance has gained a lot of significance in many companies, most people have raised concerns regarding how this technology denies them their privacy. The author determines the various issues raised by gathering data from different organizations and determining the way they respond to this issue. He goes on to summarize the various issues and how they can be mitigated.
This resource is important as it will allow me develop a strong thesis statement and at the same time develop a good discussion. The resource will provide a good insight on how surveillance impacts on people’s privacy and the way they respond to the situation. Drawing from this resource I will be able to acquire a convincing study which will allow readers to clearly understand how different people think and respond to the situation.

1)Why are informal settings such as dinners useful?
2)Could the consultants have influenced the agenda in more formal ways? How?
3)
If you had been one of the managers at the Italian restaurant, what would your views of the meeting been?
POST 1)
1. Informal settings for meetings and to exchange information can be very useful in breaking down barriers. Often, people feel very restricted to voice their opinions when in a formal office setting or in a boardroom with their superiors. I have seen it often in the military where people are given an option to speak up, but no one truly feels comfortable because the setting does not fell appropriate. Wearing casual clothes, drinking a beer, and socializing before business begins can often make leaders feel more "human" to their employees and in return lead to more honest feedback.
2. It is possible that the consultants could have influenced the agenda in more formal ways, but several issues point to the fact that employees of the company did not feel comfortable with the leadership. Originally, the marketing and sales manager was already skeptical of the CEOs attempt to have dinner at his own house, believing that the CEO would attempt to influence the agenda of the consultants. Also, when the consultants invited middle management to the Italian restaraunt, it was noted that middle management had several good ideas but were always shut out and their opinions were not hear. By breaking down those formal barriers, the consultants were able to do their job. I believe more formal ways would have came up short of the desired effect.
3. If I was one of the managers at the Italian restaraunt I would have been relieved that someone was finally listening to us. It was noted that they had ideas and knew why the company was in trouble. Middle management is the where the rubber meets the road between the employees and supervisors. They must be involved when trying to find out better ways to run the business. CURT
POST 2)
During the reading of Illustration 15.3 question 1, Why are informal settings such as dinners useful? It is custom sometimes during business dealings to set the first meeting in a relaxed environment to break the ice and ensured that everyone gets a chance to relax and express their opinions. In this scenario that was the thought of some people but, not all had the same conclusion for a mutual meeting spot. The CEO had other plans, and some saw it as an opportunity to persuade the consultant company in his favor.
Question 2, Could the consultant have influenced the agenda in more informal ways? How? Although I understand having meetings off-site to avoid everyone at the company going crazy until the plan for the consultant is set. Having a more formal meeting is the best practice to set the tone on how serious the situation is. I do believe that the consultant firm could have influenced a more of a formal setting. However, it is a very fragile meeting that the consultan.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

helping hand to students above the age of 24 pursuing any
degree at the University.
The three primary methods this office utilizes are Programs,
Advocacy, and Services.
By offering these three essential methods of support, this office
hopes to ensure
success to all and any Adult Students who seek it.
DePaul University has built a name on diversity and a
personable experience to
learning. To help assure that all populations of students are
serviced, the University
has allocated many departments. The DePaul Office not only
services adult students,
but leads a joint effort to provide for Veteran Students as well
as Commuter Students.
Thus this Department is known as the Office of Adult, Veteran,
and Commuter
Student Affairs. Each wing uses their own coordinators and
resources to provide the
best experience for their populations.
4. II. Environments Affecting Higher Education For Adult
Students
A. The education industry is vast. This specific market of
education would be
considered higher education. This encompasses colleges,
universities, specialty
programs, and any sort of higher learning. It larger than a 10
billion dollar
industry and growing every year. Competition for the education
industry is the
work force or services where possible students begin working or
enlist in
government programs. They also compete with households
because many may
choose to be stay at home parents. The Higher Education
Industry has many
subsets of programs and offices that help enhance the education
experience for
Students. Advocacy programs compete with athletics and other
inner school
departments. They also compete with hobbies such the gym or
outside clubs with
no affiliation with the school. The amount of students seeking
higher education is
5. a market of about 21.6 Million projected to be about 24 Million
by the year 2020.
31% of Undergraduate enrollments are of Adult students
(Aslanian 4). These are
adults seeking higher education through undergraduate,
graduate, and professional
training programs.
B. Technology is a huge aspect of higher education. Industry
trends show that the
education system is moving towards further collaboration with
technology. Online
classes and workshops are just the beginning as more and more
technology is
brought into the classroom. Technology such as online
infrastructure, databases,
Comment [sk1]: Use headings in syllabus for
each section in Environments
Comment [sk2]: Should discuss if other
universities have similar offices, in detail.
Comment [sk3]: Follow syllabus: use number in
reference page, no name needed.
3
6. profiles, video classrooms, data sharing, E-Learning, etc. all
will help the industry
grow and move in the right direction. As more and more
technology is introduced
it finds its way into the classrooms and helps to enhance the
learning process
(Mitra 3). According to an Aslanian Market Research study, 9.9
Million students
have taken at least 1 online course. And 3.3 Million go to
school exclusively
online. On- Line training has become prevalent in most
workplaces and has even
reached secondary education. On-Line course enrollment is still
has three times
the growth rate of traditional enrollment (Riedell 2). In turn it
shapes the
landscape of what students must deal with to obtain their
education. Therefore in
the Student affairs scope to provide student support and
advocacy it is essential to
understand how technology affects the education process and
how it can in turn
be used to communicate and reach the Students. To be able to
7. provide support to
students in the education industry, technology will be a
necessity.
C. The economy plays a significant role in many industries of
business. The higher
education industry is heavily influenced by the economic turns.
Every year the
prices of education increase on an average 5% (Bidwell 2). So it
is becoming
more and more difficult for students to afford a higher
education. One individual
in the Industry quoted “Possible graduate students are turning
away from recruiter
because they simply can’t afford the rising tuitions.”(Stewart).
As the economic
times fluctuate and prices rise or fall it takes a direct toll on
how many students
pursue a higher education and how much they get involved with
the programs at
their universities. So the industry is actually fairly price elastic
in the sense that it
will directly change the landscape. Pricing of universities drives
this notion that as
students, specifically Adult students seek education the price
8. they have to pay will
impact that decision. So in this case both universities and the
industry as a whole
are price elastic.
D. Legal and Political factors play a role in Higher education as
well. Legal and
Political policies effect government funding and financial aid.
These are essential
tools for Higher education to be an option for many students.
Political decisions
affect payrolls and development in many parts of the country.
Those decisions
ultimately shape the opportunity students may have to pursue a
higher education.
Some Adult learners may be in search of certain credentials
through education
programs. Often times Legal or Political landscapes shape the
necessity of
qualifications and credentials. Outside of that it does not
directly influence the
Student affairs or advocacy.
E. Trends in this industry are the higher rate of Adult students
returning to school.
9. This is a huge shift in people returning to school after they have
worked or are
working. The basic buying behaviors of students are moving
towards
diversification of the student body. Diversification in the sense
that various types
of students are now joining various types of programs. With
money playing a
4
factor many students are turning to online degrees where they
can obtain their
education from the comfort of their home. The demand for
higher educated
positions in the job market directly related to how many
students are returning to
school to pursue or finish degrees. In 2020 it is projected that
Minority students
will outnumber white students on college campuses. Most high
school students in
the near future will be exposed to online education. After an in
depth study into
Adult Student traits, the Aslanian Market Research team found
10. some great
insights. They found that Adult Students today tend to be
females who have
families and juggle multiple jobs. It is important to note that
adult students come
from many walks of life, thus having a wide variety of
motivations to continue
education. 30% of Adult learners return to school in order to
change their career.
23% of them return to advance in their current career. So over
50% of Adult
students are in school for progression in their professional lives.
An interesting
stat was that 9% if these students are returning for personal
reasons not related to
their career (Aslanian 16). Learning Patterns show that Adult
Learners are seeking
degrees, certificates, licenses, and the lowest percentage are
those just seeking
specific courses. The ethnicity of Adult Learners seeking higher
education tends
to vary. Though there are distinct patterns that show a majority
are White with
Hispanic and African American both displaying high growth
11. rates. Adult students
are attracted to Hybrid study programs that move at a fast pace.
Social elements
also influence this process because there are many social
pressures to be educated
in terms of quality of life.
III. The Office of DePaul University Marketing Mix
A. The Target Market for this Office is very specific. They
target Degree seeking
students at DePaul University who fall into the Adult Category.
This is defined by
an age range that is above 24. Regardless if they are pursuing an
undergraduate or
graduate degree, they can be serviced by this office. They also
target Veterans
who have served as well as Commuter students. Now at first this
may seem like a
very wide spread mix, and truthfully so it actually is. But the
key here is
recognizing that the true target audience is those who seek help
transitioning into
a traditional structure of education but come from a
12. nontraditional background.
The total number of Adult Undergrad Students enrolled at
DePaul is 3,887
students (IRMA).This makes up 23.67% of the Student body.
The schools within
the university within the highest concentration of Adult
Students include the
School for New Learning, CDM, Commerce, and LAS. This is a
very internal
market because the DePaul Office is not responsible for
bringing or attracting new
students to DePaul. They focus their efforts on retaining and
supporting the Adult
Comment [sk4]: Use Marketing mix headings
5
Students enrolled in the university. This niche market is 7,955
Students counting
Undegrad and Graduate programs. Of those Students the Office
has been able to
reach 48.50%.
B. The office offers a combination of services. Through
13. Programs, advocacy, and
services, this department focuses on how to provide the best
services for their
target audience. They also offer the Adult Student center as a
place where
students can go to study or read which is exclusive to Adult
Students. They offer
Adult friendly hours at the Center as well as the events. See
Exhibit C as an
example of one such event.
C. The DePaul Office does not charge money for its services.
The costs are covered
by budgets supported by university funding. So truthfully the
Students pay for the
services that this Office provides through their tuition. In some
rare cases they
may charge for specialty events but those revenues only cover
the costs of the
service, and are not used as profits.
D. The Students can obtain the offerings and services by
attending the events,
coming into the Adult Student Center, or using resources shared
online via
14. websites and social media. The Adult Center can be visited
anytime from 8am-
8pm during weekdays. Events are held at various locations on
either Campus or
even outside of Campus. The Office also has a presence online
where students can
gain resources on the website.
E. Currently the Office uses multiple channels of Marketing to
reach the Adult
Students and inform the general student body. The primary
Channel would be
offline advertising in the form of Posters and Signs. The
Marketing team heavily
focuses on creating flyers and posters to place and mass market
across campus.
See Exhibit D as an example of these. There is also some
Personal selling mixed
with Public relations involved as Coordinators from the office
travel to various
outreach fairs to educate students about the office and the
services it can offer.
That way they are directly approaching the audience and giving
a personal touch
to the office as well as creating a great image. An important
15. channel is integration
of the office with other university offices that can leverage
Adult Student
involvement. Social media is a huge outlet for their marketing
mix as well. Since
most of these students are always on the go or managing hectic
schedules, the
presence they build online is very beneficial. With Tweets and
Facebook updates
they share information, resources, and events directly in the
hands of the
consumers. Other universities hold events for their Adult
students as well but
quality and personable experience is what gives DePaul the
competitive
advantage. The Structure for Marketing to Adult Students is
event based and
communication based. The office Markets events on a timeline
before and after
said events. The office also does continuous marketing through
a consistent online
and social media presence. While Schools like UIC and Loyola
offer Adult
16. 6
Programs, DePaul offers help on three platforms not including
an entire center
dedicated just to helping their population of students. Refer to
Exhibit E for shots
of how this helps the students.
IV. SWOT Analysis
After analyzing the DePaul Office there are many things worth
considering as far as
the SWOT is concerned. The strengths really come out strong
when one examines the
benefits provided by the department. The office offers various
programs, services,
advocacy, and a center. Putting all of these together one of the
strengths the possess is
the fact that they have a unique offering. They are winning on
two levels here, both
on quantity and quality. They offer daily, weekly, monthly, and
yearly programs each
catering to a specific niche need in the market. Some examples
17. of these would be the
graduate thesis conference, wine and cheese receptions,
relaxation therapy,
scholarships, personal financial counseling, and of course free
coffee at a quiet study
spot. Individually these may not be considered strengths
because many other
universities and departments can offer such programs. But since
this department
combines many of those services into an all in one “go-to”
experience it becomes a
strength and a unique offering. Another great strength of this
office is the strong
University backing. The Director and Assistant Director are
very keen on staying in
tune with the Values of the University and gaining full support.
Students can come to
DePaul with a sense of trust and guarantee that they will receive
a quality experience.
The quality is carried top down from department to department
and the DePaul Office
can definitely leverage such a strong University name in its
operations. A very unique
strength displayed by this office falls in its advocacy. Now as
18. mentioned many
programs and universities hold events for Adult Students. The
strength that DePaul
can leverage is their commitment to advocacy: The fact that any
student can walk in
on any day and obtain guidance on any subject matter. With
training in counseling the
Directors in this Office are certified to help students in many
different ways. Every
person and student has their own journey through life and
education, the office stands
as a helping hand of support for Adult Students to succeed.
Many students take pride
to be a part of community centered on the efforts of this office.
These are just a few
strengths that really help position the office in the area they
would like to thrive in.
Weaknesses exist in all aspects of business and the best way to
deal with them is to
recognize them. The DePaul Office has a few weaknesses that
would need to be
addressed. The first would be an over extension of resources. In
short they are spread
19. too far wide and cannot focus in on their numerous target
markets. The ranges of
Adult, Veteran, and Commuter Students are way too broad to be
joined into one. This
Comment [sk5]: USE SWOT headings in this
section
7
is a weakness because then no one group can get the best
services or special focus. A
simple restructuring where each population gets their own
director and acts as their
own business unit would help the blurring of lines. Another
weakness is lack of brand
recognition. Most Students are not aware that such an Office
exists and is there to
help, therefore they fail to use the resources provided for them.
Brand Recognition is
a huge weakness because without the students the services will
fall through.
Opportunities are what help businesses grow and reach higher
levels. The DePaul
20. Office has a few very key opportunities to act upon. One such
opportunity would be
the support of the Graduate School. Currently there is not much
collaboration
between the office and the Graduate Programs. Cross Marketing
may be a solution to
help the Office gain students and the program gain a marketable
asset. Almost all of
the students who are in the Graduate programs at DePaul would
fall into the target
market. Therefore a joint venture with them would result in
great resources and brand
awareness for the DePaul Office. Currently there is an adequate
degree of interaction
between other academic offices, if this were to increase and
assets were pulled
together, perhaps there could be a mutual benefit. This would be
an opportunity to
help the Office grow its population and refine its resources.
Another opportunity
would be an investment in technology. The education is being
shaped by technology
and it would be highly beneficial for this office to allocate its
resources to doing the
21. same. Adult Students especially may not always have the liberty
to come physically
to school. If the Department would invest in making more of its
programs online or
using technology to connect them together, it would be highly
beneficial and
rewarding. These are just two opportunities worth addressing;
there is always room
for refinement and growth.
Many businesses fail or lose share because they aren’t proactive
and are blindsided by
a threat they never expected. Therefore it is very essential for a
business to recognize
threats in the marketplace or industry that could hurt them.
Threats for the DePaul
Office exist as well. The increasing prices in tuition across the
globe for education
pose a massive threat to the operations of this office. As tuition
prices rise it becomes
more and more difficult for Students and particularly Adult
Students to afford going
to a University. This reduces the population this office is
chasing and makes future
22. strategy difficult. This can be considered of the greater threats.
The others as based
upon trends that seem to be creating risk in the marketplace.
Please Refer to Exhibit F
for the full SWOT diagram.

V. A Statement of the Benchmark and Marketing Goal
The DePaul Office is doing many great things and helping
students in various
respects. After some analysis it would be accurate to say that
they are capturing
somewhere around 25% of their target audience of students of
attend DePaul. A
marketing goal to set here would be an increase of 10% so to be
able to capture 35%
of their audience on a consistent basis. This means of the 3,887
Adult Undergrads
23. they should be able to reach and retain 1,360 of them. Gaining
an additional 10% of
the population will help the network and community grow. 10%
increase would be an
additional 388 Adult Students to reach and have on the
database. It will also provide
great insights for the office to help strategize. Lastly, it will
help an additional 10% of
students who may not have known they could be receiving such
help. Again this
office does not directly recruit students to DePaul. The most
they can do is help create
a desirable environment for the students already enrolled, so by
increasing that reach
10% the affects can foster that environment.
VI. The
Solution
to reach the Goal
In order to hit 35% of the Adult Student Body and gain their
24. loyalty to the Office
there are various steps that must be taken. In order to execute a
marketing goal of this
caliber the office must go back to the basics and build up. This
plan is entirely
focused on retention of students. The Steps are fairly clear:
1. Focus Groups
2. Awareness Campaign
3. Restructuring of Programs
4. Execution of Events
5. Data Collection and Strategy
The first step is based in focus groups. In the constantly
changing environment of
communication it is important to use valid consumer insights.
25. The DePaul University
currently uses very outdated consumer insights based on invalid
data. Therefore to
begin a revamp of the marketing tasks it is essential to gather
new qualitative and
quantitative data. This will be done by conducting focus groups
to have discussion on
communication and collect insights on the best ways to
communicate. These would
be gaged through 5 basic questions:
Who do you want communicating to you?
Comment [sk6]: Good these benchmarks and
goals are numeric, measurable.
Comment [sk7]: This is the Plan, not rehash of
facts from earlier…..
26. 9
What do you want to be communicated?
Where do you wish to be reached?
How often do you wish to be reached?
When is the best time to reach you?
Once these parameters have been addressed it would also be
beneficial to gain
insights on the behavior of the target audience. What their
interests, hobbies, etc. are.
These types of answers will help the department gain a better
understanding of their
students and help them create content that is relevant. There
would have to be
27. multiple focus groups each dedicated to a specific population of
students. These
students would have to be pulled at random from a large pool of
quality candidates.
They would have to be held in small groups to avoid group
think and ensure original
results. These insights would have to be documented and then
shared with the
directors to plan a new strategy.
The next step is an awareness campaign. This campaign will use
aspects of guerilla
marketing to spread the word of the Office and their goals. The
way this will be
communicated would be a use of the insights gained from the
focus groups. For
example let’s say that the Population preferred email
newsletters from the office
28. twice a week with content about upcoming events and school
news. Then the
campaign would highlight and create buzz about how these new
newsletters will be
released. The key will be to create a new brand image showing
that the office is
invested in created a personable experience for all Adult
Students. This would be a
multi-channel campaign with presence online as well as
physical ads and personal
selling. This Campaign will feature hashtags like
#WeKnowAdultStudents to
highlight the research done to revamp the strategy. The
following step will then be to
actually re-approach the strategy.
The third step is the restructuring of programs by the DePaul
29. Office. This means that
using the insights the success of the awareness campaign the
office will now roll out
their programs featuring a revamped communication/ marketing
strategy. Now that
they have been re-strategized, they are much more appealing
and digestible for the
target audience and they will be more likely to engage. They
will take a close look at
all the services and programs and make sure they all fit into the
new strategy based
upon the insights. It would be very possible that some programs
do not. For example,
they may learn that twice a week meetings are not desirable and
once a month
meetings are the optimal option. So it will be about adjusting all
of the offerings of
30. the office to fit the strategy and marketing goal, which
ultimately is to increase
penetration to 35% of the adult student body.
Comment [sk8]: Research design is good, but
not the plan.
10
The fourth step is actually running these programs and events.
Once everything is
restricted and augmented to fit the right strategy, it is ready to
be rolled out. This step
will be the timely execution of the offerings of the office. Adult
Students are
prompted to enroll in the Database at events. They can register
for these events
31. through orgsync or other DePaul friendly services. Once these
are executed the Adult
students will be able to directly engage with the brand. This
will gain their trust and
show them the quality services that they can gain. This
execution will entitle all of the
promotional mix. Product and pricing do not directly apply
since the Product has been
optimized in the previous step and there is no price for these
services. However
Distribution and promotion will be essential factors to draw in
the additional 10% of
the Adult Student body.
The final step is data collection and analytics. This step will
ensure that the efforts
being implemented on the new strategy are heading in the right
32. direction. This can be
done through post service surveys to be filled out by those
consumers who have used
offerings. Once real time effects of the new strategy are
collected they can be logged
and analyzed. Those analytics will be essential to tracking how
well the new strategy
is working and will help guide any changes that must be made.
Measurable results
will be key to reach a 10% increase in penetration. This step
involves constant
tracking evaluation of success. Therefore it must be very clear
to the entire
department what the goals are and how they will be reached.
Once this step becomes
regular, the others can follow in a 2-3 year cycle. These will
ensure quality results
33. from well-planned strategy. This plan will create an agenda on
how exactly to attract
students to the Office of Adult Students. Various research
tactics can be implemented
but at the end of the day the answer is consumer research. In
order to build a strong
following the Office has to invest in educating itself on the
students it is chasing.
These insights are essential to the survival of this program.
Comment [sk9]: Finally, got to fairly extensive
steps for your plan. Not perfect, but great start.

I. Background
Introduction to the Cityspade
Cityspade is a professional real estate service company. Mainly
engaged in real estate rental agents, the main customers are in
the United States or will soon come to the United States
students, office workers who are Chinese. its just Chinese
50. students. The company pursues to help international students.
The company currently has offices in New York, Boston,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, and Los Angeles, and plans to
expand across the country. The company in good faith, customer
first purpose and fair, professional service concept, to provide
customers with perfect, thoughtful, intimate, assured
service.cumbersome sentence, grammar

industry sense of smell and a high degree of service concept,
and constantly adjusts the structure to adapt to the new industry
pattern and development trend, maximizes the branding and

companies, automobile dealers, law firms, etc., to provide a
one-stop service for customers. What offices in the Universities
do you work with and how?The professionalism of Cityspade
itself is also indisputable, providing customers with reliable
housing information.
II. Environments Affecting Real Estate
A. Real estate agents are a huge market, especially in the United
51. States, where most people rent primarily. According to the
latest report jointly released by RentCafe, a rental platform, and
Yardi Matrix ( R.1 (just #1)). A real estate research and
information service, and the average rent of houses in 252 cities
in the United States rose 3.1 percent year on year. Doug
Ressler, a division manager at Yardi Matrix, a business think
tank, gives a mixed picture: America's housing market has been
changing over the past decade, and is influenced by significant
demographic trends. Trends vary from market to market and are
influenced by trends in population aging, population growth,
migration, and homeownership. Of course, the U.S. and local
economies are also key factors affecting the housing market,
including the federal reserve's monetary policy and the level of
capital markets.
B. On 28 February, the world health organization (WHO) issued
its highest-level warning against a novel coronavirus defense,
with many countries already closing their borders and
restricting travel (R.2(2)). On March 3, the federal reserve
responded to the evolving risks posed by novel coronavirus by
cutting interest rates sharply by 50 basis points, but the future
direction of the U.S. economy remains uncertain (R3).
Inevitably, the outbreak and prevention and control of novel
coronavirus will cause a certain impact on all walks of life in
the United States, and from the short and long term analysis, the
52. United States real estate market will be affected. The U.S.
service industry was the first to feel the impact of the novel
coronavirus outbreak. The corresponding retail properties in
real estate, including restaurants, shops, cinemas, shopping
centers, etc., will inevitably suffer a decline in rental income.
1) As a result of the rent of retail property in the United States,
the method of guaranteed rent + revenue sharing is usually
adopted. When the leasing business is not ideal, the property
owner cannot receive the profit-sharing of the operating income
of the store, but still has the income of guaranteed rent. This
approach also protects tenants, allowing them to maintain only
guaranteed rents during the outbreak and reducing cash flow
pressure. When the new coronavirus is contained, the retail
market will recover quickly and probably surpass previous
levels.
2) Currently, novel coronavirus infection has spread globally in
addition to China and is still expanding. To reduce the risk of
cross-infection, leisure, and business travel around the world
have been sharply reduced. The United States suspended flights
to and from China in January and has recently begun reducing
flights to and from hard-hit areas. But it is clear, the hotel
industry will be badly hit. Hotel property usually belongs to the
53. type of high risk and high yield in the real estate industry, and
whether the hotel is profitable, the focus is on the management
and operation. Under the impact of the outbreak, some badly run
hotel properties cannot be sustained, had to be restructured or
sold off. Therefore, the income of hotel investors may be
polarized, some people lose money to leave the market, and
some people get quality assets.
3) The homeownership rate in the United States is about 65
percent, with the remaining 35 percent typically choosing to
live in long-rented condos, which are less affected by a black
swan event such as a novel coronavirus (R.4). Americans try to
avoid moving during the outbreak, so they often renew their
leases if they expire. As a result, rental yields are stable for
long-lived apartment investors. Since the leases on long-rented
apartments are usually one year, there will be no mass
relocations even after the outbreak is over, and the long-rented
market is stable.
C. In the Internet era, with the help of the Internet to transform
the model of intermediary rental, the way of housing rental is
constantly changing, more in line with the development of The
Times. More and more consumers through the Internet real
estate information service platform for understanding,
54. preliminary housing, communication, and transaction. From the
simple flow and customer acquisition to the entire
communication and transaction process online, the Internet real
estate service platform is the more and more in-depth
implementation of the "industrial Internet", has become a
highlight of the development of the industry. So that people can
understand the housing market more quickly, more accurate
location of housing, in order to avoid excessive energy. Rent a
house through an intermediary, the tenant needs to rent a house
to inform the intermediary, the intermediary found a suitable
housing source and then with the tenant, the landlord about to
see the house, generally rent a satisfied house to repeat this
process for many times, the real estate intermediary to see the
house on average 20 times a single transaction, very low
efficiency so that the landlord and the tenant wasted a lot of
energy. Through the intermediary renting, the information of
the landlord is updated slowly, and the information
communication between the tenant and the landlord is lack,
which often leads to the difference between the room the tenant
sees and the introduction of the intermediary company, which
delays the tenant's time. In addition to the problems we
mentioned above, there will be a variety of other troubles in the
process of renting a house, the house problems cannot be a
timely and effective solution; most of the tenants did not clearly
define their rights and obligations before renting, and they did
55. not read the rental contract carefully, and only found that the
contract could not protect them after problems occurred. Before
the deposit is generally not back when the contract expires the
intermediary will find a variety of reasons to return less or do
not return the deposit and so on. moreover, real estate has very
strong local properties and complexity, it is difficult to
complete the transaction without offline service. Visible, use
the Internet to transform housing rental, need more time.
1) Now, the success of renting out unmediated homes belongs to
Airbnb. Renters contact hosts directly through the Airbnb
platform, which saves time between renters and hosts without
the need for a third party. Airbnb, a Shared accommodation
platform, builds a bilateral market transaction platform through
the Internet to effectively integrate idle housing resources,
reduce information asymmetry and search costs, and improve
the matching efficiency of hosts and guests. Airbnb didn't just
change people's perception of renting, it changed the industry.
2) The epidemic situation has accelerated the application
innovation of the industry, and the experience of VR house
viewing has been improved. In the future, AR+ big data will be
combined, the information will be highly efficient and
transparent, and the online speed of the industry will…explain a
little more… be accelerated. With the advent of the 5G era, the
56. real estate industry and the Internet accelerate the development
and the user experience is improved. At present, AR technology
is becoming increasingly mature, and the data is friendly to real
scene interaction. The tenant only needs to wear AR eyes and
other hardware devices to freely access the apartment
information. With the improvement of the data platform, people
can obtain the information of surrounding apartments and real
scenes anytime and anywhere, which makes the information
more transparent and promotes the further stable development
of the industry market.
D. With the continuous development of the economy, capital
flows in various places. In the past few years, the city centers of
big cities have been building apartments to house the huge
influx of job-seekers. But prices are also rising in the city
center. Housing intermediary also ushered in the climax of
development here. But because rents are high, high-end housing
is saturated. Many low-income people have a hard time finding
a home they can afford. Where house prices are low, incomes
are correspondingly low. The rental housing market is still in
great demand.
E. On the policy side, more affordable apartments should be
built to ease the housing shortage. The adjustment of federal,
state, and local policies can relieve market pressure to some
57. extent. According to different geographical locations, the policy
needs to adapt to local conditions. With the policy of each
place, the house rent company can adjust strategy according to
the different policies at any time, keep up with the pace of the
market.
F. The future of real estate agents will gradually evolve into
real estate enterprises. With the development of the Internet,
p2p and o2o are connected in parallel and in series. Formed an
information network for exchanging needed goods. As human
initiative becomes more and more active in the online world,
people start to ignore mediators, simplify procedures, optimize
resources, and go straight to the goal. The declining information
asymmetry advantage of real estate agents means the decline of
the model of information profit, which is also the reason why
many small real estate agents go bankrupt. For big real estate
agents, that means profits are shrinking, and costs for
businesses are rising. In this case, the whole estate agency will
eventually usher in winter. Although real estate intermediaries
cannot develop real estate alone but can use their own capital,
relations, information, services, and other advantages. Real
estate agents can work with real estate developers.
G. Covid – 19 impact was worked into the discussion above,
good.
58. III. Target of Cityspade Marketing
A. In November 2016, the Institute of International Education
released its 2016 Open Doors report. In the 2015-16 academic
year, the number of students studying at colleges and
universities in the United States surpassed the 1 million mark
for the first time, reaching nearly 1,044,000, up 7 percent from
2014-15, and accounting for 5 percent of all U.S. students, the
report said (R.5). Cityspade is aiming at the overseas student’s
market, continuously expanding its strength and realizing the
American chain. Cityspade was established with 2014. Since
entering the rental market for the 2014-2016 year, the total
rental transaction has reached 32 million U.S. dollars. The total
rental transaction iswas expected to reach $ 100 million by the
end of 2018. Cityspade works with 365 rental apartments, Until
the second quarter of 2017, more than 2,000 customers have
accumulated. Some of this is about the general rental market.
What size is the international student market and what countries
are you focusing on??? Do you work thru agents overseas or
direct to the student/family? More clarity in who you work with
the guide them here. How is the university involved?
B. Cityspade works with 365 rental apartments. And actively
expand the company's operation projects, for example, in order
to facilitate the life of studying abroad, the company cooperated
59. with a number of cleaning companies…explain… to achieve
seamless connection with tenants. Clean the room for the tenant
before the tenant moves in, and the tenant can use the cleaning
company for a long time with a discount. Cityspade offers a free
24-hour consultation service. If the tenant encounters any
relevant problems, Cityspade will help the tenant to solve them
in a timely manner. When international students come to the
United States alone, they encounter all kinds of
problems…should probably start with this…. Most international
students will live with students from the same school, but there
will be conflicts and conflicts. Students go through Cityspade,
such as changing houses, mediating conflicts, and other
problems.
C. Cityspade works with schools to help international students
find roommates quickly. Currently, the number of schools
cooperating with Cityspade reaches 14, what schools in
Chicago, identify them…what office do you work with???and
Citypade Marketing Department is actively expanding the
project. The Marketing Department is also planning different
activities, such as summer boat Tours, winter skiing and so on.
In these activities, we will expand the influence of Cityspade
and let more universities know about Cityspade. On the other
hand, also strengthened the old customer relations.
60. D. International students generally rent a house, will sign a one-
year contract. In the second year, the students basically got to
know the local apartments and found better friends.
International students will move to other apartments, and some
will even move every six months. In order to provide better
services for the tenants, Cityspade cooperates with many honest
moving companies. Help international students, save time for
international students. Cityspade hopes to create a comfortable
life for overseas students.
E. Considering the actual situation of some universities,
Cityspade also offers overseas students to buy and sell cars.
Some universities are in small cities. International students live
in university dormitories far from supermarkets. As a result, the
life of international students is very inconvenient. Cityspade
strives to find dealers with integrity and codes. Provide a safe
and reliable car service for international students.
F. Apartments in the United States generally do not provide a
home. So when international students just moved into the
apartment, the need to buy in advance the main household, bed,
mattress, and some bedding. Some Chinese students, especially
girls, need hot water. So some essential household items need to
be purchased in advance. In order to help international students,
solve this big problem, Cityspade has been cooperating with
61. home furnace sellers through various ways such as searching,
online screening, bidding, and cooperation since 2017. To solve
the major problems of international students' life in the United
States.
G. When international students come to the United States alone,
they encounter problems and don't know how to deal with them,
especially some extreme problems about the law. Cityspade
takes care of international students by working with
experienced lawyers. To provide more professional services for
international students, to avoid international students because of
some minor problems caused by big trouble. The most common
problem is that some international students sublet apartments
while other tenants destroy the facilities. The student
himself/herself should pay for the repair. Because some
apartments are newly built or renovated, the facilities are more
expensive than international students can afford. These
problems require professional personnel to provide services for
international students.

international students reduce the cost of living in the United
States, Cityspade continues to work hard to realize its value.

life for international students in the United States.Not a true
SWOT anaylsis…
V. A Statement of the Benchmark and Marketing Goal

international students by enriching its services without efforts.
Of course, Cityspade is still a young enterprise, with many
services that require constant specialization. In the long run,
Cityspade's sales be specific , growth from ….? growth target
is set at 5%, not much different from 2019. Due to the impact of
64. the new coronavirus and the reduction of the target growth rate
in 2020, Cityspade will improve the quality of the specific

market, real estate agents must develop steadily if they want to
