Speaking Their Language: Engaging International Applicants to Increase Yield
Speaking Their Language: Engaging International Applicants to Increase YieldTexas Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals
As the number of international student applications drops across the U.S., graduate programs must develop new ways of engaging admitted international students to encourage them to attend their programs. This presentation explores areas outside of traditional marketing and recruitment by discussing how to see the process from the international student’s point of view and how to metaphorically speak their language in our communications with them. Taking an anthropological approach, this presentation explores ways graduate program coordinators can learn to understand what international students are looking for in a graduate program and develop ways to show international students how our programs meet those needs.

A SURVEY OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS IN WSN
Wireless sensor networks are harshly restricted by storage capacity, energy and computing power. Wireless Sensor Networks have acquired a lot of attention by research community, manufacturer as well as actual users for monitoring remote trades and how to gather data in different environment. The wireless sensor nodes are especially battery powered devices having life can be extended for some times while long lasting and reliable for maintaining consumption of energy and network lifetime while designs applications and protocols. So it is essential to design effective and energy efficient protocol in order to enhance the network lifetime. In this paper we present the study of different energy efficient communication protocols of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).Then some of the communication protocols which are widely used in WSNs to improve network performance are also discussed advantages and disadvantages of each protocols.

Bhopal Gas Tragedy case study
The Bhopal gas tragedy was one of the worst industrial disasters, exposing over 500,000 people to toxic gas. On December 3, 1984, a leak of methyl isocyanate gas and other chemicals from the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India exposed nearby residents. Over 20,000 people died in the initial aftermath and thousands more died from complications in later years. The toxic gases and chemicals caused numerous injuries and long-term health issues among survivors. While Union Carbide and later Dow Chemical denied full responsibility, the incident highlights the human and environmental costs of industrial accidents.

Improving Attendance: How the Blackboard Connect Service Can Help Your School
Educators agree, and studies confirm, that a child who maintains a solid attendance record is twice as likely to graduate from high school. This direct correlation between attendance and graduation can be vitally important to your district. Not only will students be able to excel as their attendance increases, but school districts can also improve their revenue opportunities for a variety of functions including transportation and lunch or tutorial programs. Improving attendance is a 'win-win' situation for both students and the district.
Join Dr. Gwen Miller, Principal at J.R. Tucker High School (VA), Rita Morehead, Principal at School 17, Yonkers Public Schools (NY) and Scott Law, Assistant Principal, Paramount West High School (CA) as they share the unique ways they are using the Blackboard Connect service to improve student attendance, as well as demonstrate how they are having success with Blackboard Connect overall.
Multicultural Education Needs and Risks
This document discusses the need for inclusive multicultural education. It begins by defining multicultural education and noting that students come from diverse backgrounds that affect their education. It then provides evidence that multicultural education is needed, such as demographic data showing the increasing diversity of students and achievement gaps between racial groups. It also discusses disproportionate education outcomes for minority students in Oregon specifically. The document then addresses misconceptions about multicultural education and defines inclusive multicultural education. It provides examples of culturally responsive teaching practices and successful multicultural education programs that have improved student outcomes.
Perfect Storm Or Perfect Opportunity For Higher Education2
The document discusses trends in higher education attainment among different racial/ethnic groups from 1995-2005. It shows that while numbers and percentages of Hispanic/Latino, African American, and American Indian students increased in the overall population, rates of educational attainment for these groups appear to be flattening or unchanged. It suggests that closer collaboration between K-12 and postsecondary education, such as pipeline programs and summer enrichment programs, could help address this issue and improve attainment rates.

This document summarizes a study on racial discrimination among Mexicans living in the U.S. based on interviews with 35 Mexican and Mexican-American participants. It finds that those who are undocumented, have limited English skills, medium skin tones, or are single are more likely to experience discrimination. Discrimination most often occurs in schools, workplaces, government institutions, and stores/restaurants. The study suggests discrimination stems from ignorance and unequal treatment based on language, legal status, or group association. It recommends further research with a larger, more representative sample including minors to better understand discrimination faced by Latinos.
African American High School Males’ Perceptions Of
The document summarizes key findings from a study that examined the experiences of six African American high school males attending predominantly Hispanic schools in San Antonio, Texas. The study explored the students' perceptions of giftedness, barriers to academic success, and the role of spirituality. Some of the main findings were that the students defined giftedness as working hard to earn good grades, recognized disparities negatively impacting placement of Black students in gifted programs, and most saw teachers as supportive while two did not feel supported academically. All participants wanted to attend college with four interested in STEM fields. The role of spirituality was not directly addressed in the responses.

It finds that African American and white children in Michigan have worse outcomes than their national peers across several key indicators of childhood well-being and success. Hispanic/Latino children in Michigan fare slightly better than average nationally. The document recommends addressing concentrated poverty, improving education systems, and promoting inclusive economic and employment programs to help reduce racial inequities among children in Michigan.
Race and Multicultural Education
Multicultural education aims to ensure equal educational opportunities and access for all students. It challenges prejudices and promotes appreciation of diverse cultures. The document discusses the need for multicultural education given the increasing diversity in US schools. It notes disproportionate outcomes for minority students, such as wider achievement gaps and higher suspension rates. The benefits of multicultural education include closing achievement gaps, improving racial attitudes, and preparing students for an intercultural society. Teachers must be culturally responsive to meet the needs of all students. Successful multicultural programs infuse diverse cultures throughout the curriculum and see improved academic and social outcomes.

It Takes a Village: Building a Support System for Diversity Abroad
Racial/ethnic diversity in study abroad increased 10 percent from 2004 to 2014. Despite the increase, study abroad continues to fall low on students of color’s priority list. Irrespective of their rationale for not going, students of color continue to receive fewer messages that study abroad is worthwhile. To fill this gap, panelists in this session will argue that faculty involvement – particularly faculty of color– in the planning process and while on-site is imperative. The inclusion will allow students to see themselves reflected in study abroad programs and may increase the likelihood that students will participate. This session will feature multiple perspectives to demonstrate the important ways to utilize faculty in the effort to increase student of color participation.
