This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. ACA Monthly Meeting
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
8:15-10:00am
SSB Glenn Maloney Room
8:15 Breakfast and Social Time
Sponsored by McCombs School, Master of Science in Finance program
(THANK YOU!!)
8:30 Master of Science in Finance program in the McCombs School
Jay Hartzell and Katie Stephens is the MSF Program Coordinator
http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/MSF.aspx
The new program is currently going through the approval process but they expect it to be
on board soon. It is anew, one-year master’s, program in finance designed to take
students directly from an undergraduate program without any work experience (work
experience is typical for MBA). Students do not need a Business background (it could
hinder their application), but they do need strong quantitative aptitude. Students can come
from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds, but the program prefers their applicants to
have taken statistics and those who have completed the Business Foundations Program are
considered excellent candidates in terms of appropriate knowledge.
How it works: Student will earn 5 hours in the summer (4 weeks) and then 31 hours
spread over subsequent fall and spring semesters. A practicum, connecting “read-world”
experiences will be taken in their final semester. They expect tuition to run about
$43,000.00 but plan to offer merit based financial aid to academically strong students.
Currently holding information sessions, so please refer interested students to these going
on this semester.

8:55 Business Foundations Program
Regina Hughes
BFP is piloting two courses this summer offered online through University Extension: BA
320F and FIN 320F. A flyer with an overview of the courses has been provided to ACA. The
BA 320Fis a course designed to help students get internship credit, and will be offeredon a
pass/fail basis. Students will keep a journal and will need to clock 160 hours or more.
The purpose of the course is to help students gain skills and get a job after graduation.
Regina has contacts, so send interested students to her and she will assist them in finding
an internship. Although it must have some sort of business aspect to be approved, the BA
320F course will not substitute for a listed BFP certificate course.
The Business Foundations Summer Institute is full and has a waitlist. Advisors should soon
be receiving forms, from their students, regarding residency since the courses associated
with the Instituteare considered out of residence. Added two courses to the summer
institute, BA 320F and MAN 337. The MAN 337 course is not counted toward the certificate
but assists students with learning how to job search effectively.

9:00 Bridging Disciplines Program
Lauren Campbell
Students who want to participate in a BDP must be enrolled as a degree-seeker for at least
two semestersafterthe semester in which they apply to theBDP. The BDPs are open to
undergraduate students from every college and school. BDP applications are reviewed each
fall and spring semester. Although there is no minimum GPA requirement, faculty
reviewers look for strong students with genuine intellectual interest in the BDP topic. Note:
The program is no longer accepting applicants for the Film Studies BDP. Students should
be redirected to either Cultural Studies or Digital Arts and Media BDP.
All BDP areas are 19 hours each, students must be seeking a degree, and they may apply
to do more than one. Students may pass/fail only one course and have it count towards
the certificate.Students may also participate in the Business Foundations Program while
pursuing a BDP.
Forum Seminars: Specific BDP 101 forum seminars are typically only offered once a year.
They are intended for first or second year students, those exploring a BDP or those actually
pursuing a BDP. They are not meant to meet 1 single hour for graduation purposes.
http://www.utexas.edu/ugs/bdp/courses
The connecting experiences component is considered one of the most valuable portions of
the BDP.This is where students participate in either research or an internship. All must be
preapproved and are overseen by faculty mentors for academic credit.
http://www.utexas.edu/ugs/bdp/current/experiences
The office is currently updating the curriculum sheets which will be posted to the website
as well as sent to the advising centers.

9:20 Texas Success Initiative
Joseph Schaub
TSI is a state mandated college readiness program where students demonstrate their
readiness for college-level courses through tests is math, reading and writing. For those
students who do not meet these basic skills, then they are required to take developmental
courses.
Changes happening with TSI:
Beginning in the fall 2012, there is a plan to eliminate the ACUUPLACER, COMPASS, or
ASSET tests and only accept scores from the THEA, which UT offers through Student
Testing Services at CTL. In addition, the plan calls for raising the minimum acceptable
scores on the THEA by 20 points in each area. The new minimum acceptable scores will be:
Math – 250/300, Reading – 250/300, and Writing 240/300. The changes could result in
more TSI bars during registration and the number of students needing developmental
courses. For more information about TSI, visit the following link.
