It summarizes a study conducted at Stetson University that analyzed retention data to understand factors influencing whether students return after one semester or year. The study found that costs, engagement, academic preparation, and background all impacted retention. It suggests using this data to enhance existing programs and create new "Bonner-like" programs, with the goal of having 20% of students participating by 2027. Participants are then asked to discuss how they could conduct a similar study and expand community engagement opportunities on their own campuses.
This session aims promote learning and exchange of ideas on
how we can help students all across campus pursue careers
with purpose and meaning, especially ones that make the world
a better place. The session will engage students in a dialogue
about career goals, academic study, service experience, career
support, and group discussions based on career interests.
This opening session sets the stage for a dynamic and informative
conference focused on driving positive social change. We'll be
inspired and rooted in a sense of place by President Floyd and our
student speakers then dive into two frameworks focused on
equipping individuals to be change agents in their communities.
Participants can expect to gain valuable insights, engage in
thought-provoking discussions and be inspired by the stories of
those who work towards moving the metaphorical mountains of
social inequality, injustice, and systemic challenges.
This is What Democracy Looks Like Powerbuilding -- Cali VanCleveBonner Foundation
Community organizing has always played a prominent role in the nonprofit world. But what about long-term, sustainable activism work? Power building is a newer sect of community organizing in which people can organize around a certain issue creating power within targeted communities. The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) and its 501(c)(4) TIRRC Votes has created a movement across the state, and they build power within our immigrant and refugee communities through voter engagement and services such as legal aid, educational resources, etc. It is vital to recognize the diverse forms in which we can organize around election cycles beyond simply registering people to vote. If you're interested in either immigrant and refugee rights, voter engagement, or unconventional means of organizing, this would be the place for you!

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
