This document outlines the learning goals and agenda for a Greek Leadership Retreat at Loyola University in 2012. The goals were to promote unity among Greek chapters, remember why students joined Greek life, understand the strengths of different chapters, and assess needs on campus. Students participated in an activity to collaboratively plan programs around the core values of service, social, and scholarship. They were instructed to involve the right people, have attainable goals, clearly communicate, and execute the programs during their term. The overall aim was to better connect Greek life to the wider campus community through joint programming efforts.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Learning Goals
• Identify ideas that unify different Greek chapters on campus.
• Remember why they chose to "Go Greek" at Loyola.
• Connect the values of their national organizations with those of Loyola
University Chicago.
• Understand the functions and strengths of the three major Greek councils at
Loyola.
• Understand their own strengths and be able to identify the areas that they
excel in
• Students will then use these strengths to maximize their chapter/councils
potential
• Analyze the strengths represented by different Greek chapters and councils
on campus.
4. Learning Goals
• Frame useful questions around what needs should be addressed in relation
to the student body at Loyola, Greek and non-Greek
• Assess Greek student organizational needs on campus and create a
programming agenda to address those needs.
• Make decisions about why programming is needed and what audience the
programs should serve
• Use mainly creative thinking when the students imagine and create
collaborative programs that are beneficial to the growth of the Loyola
student body
• Coordinate seminars and workshop to challenge the Greek population to be
progressive and purposeful in its thinking
5. Learning Goals
• Identify the interaction between the general student body and
the Greek community to determine areas of improvement
• Integrate key components from the Greek Leadership Retreat
with daily chapter and council activities
• Come to see themselves as leaders within the Loyola
community.
• Get excited about promoting "going Greek" to new Loyolans.
8. What Are We Missing?
• Unity
– Chapters are OVER
PROGRAMMING
– There is not much
support at events other
than members of host
chapters
– Chapters are not aware
of happenings outside of
their chapters or councils
9. What Can We Do Now?
• Recreate the expectations for External VPs or
the similar position
– Currently the positions require communication
only within their respective council
– We will now expect communication across
councils
• COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMMING
10. Keys To Collaboration
• Clarify the Purpose
– True collaboration requires a commitment to
shared goals, a jointly developed structure and
shared responsibility, mutual authority and
accountability for success, and sharing of
resources, risks, and rewards.
12. Have Attainable Goals
• Make sure that all plans, goals, and intended
outcomes are realistic
– Pie in the sky ideas get the creativity started, but
make sure the final product is not too difficult
• Find the medium between outlandish and lazy
• Always understand limitations about a
program idea of structure and plan in the best
way to minimize them
13. Involve the Right People
• As a rule, work with as few people as necessary to get the job
done. The more people involved, the greater the number of
communications; the greater the intensity; and the greater the
difficulty of learning about each other, balancing power, and
coordinating your work.
• Try to limit the participants to the officers serving in
programming positions
– i.e., For academic programs, Academic officers on
executive boards should be involved
14. Communicate & Execute
• The most common reason for a collaboration
meltdown is disagreements and uncertainty
about operating norms.
• Communicate the programs progress regularly
– Weekly or more as needed
• Revisit goals and ensure that everything is in
order for the goals to be met.
15. Plan of Action
• Split into your cluster
groups
– Each group should designate
one scribe
• Each group will create a
program for the core value
assigned
• Program Assignments
– Group 1 & 2 Service
– Group 3 & 4 Social
– Group 5 & 6 Scholarship
16. Plan of Action
• First Steps
– What is our community missing?
– Who is your audience?
– What would you like the audience who attended to
leave with? What should they remember one year
from the date of the program?
– What materials/resources will be needed?
– Who will be involved in
planning/facilitating/marketing ?
17. Activity
• Take the next 45 mins to plan an effective program
that you would want to implement
– Reference the previous questions posed
– Think about what challenges you may face during the
execution of the program
– Make sure that the program is unique
• We will share the program content and logistics from
each group, immediately following the activity
18. Connecting the Dots
• Did anyone notice what
happened?
– We used the other 3 core
values to gain unity and
collaboration
• Where there any group
dynamic themes that
emerged from this
activity?
19. Final Task
• These programs must now be implemented
within your term as council executive board
members
• Organize a committee of who will be
responsible for the execution of the program
• CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE
Editor's Notes
This presentation and learning activity will be preformed on day 1 of the the 2-day Greek Leadership Retreat. This will be followed by a day 2 reflection where the students will be asked to reflect about what they have learned from other collaorabortion activities that we have done with them during the weekend, in relation to what I taught them during is Day-1 presentation.
After I explain this slide, I will solicit responses from the audience of students and give them the opportunity to express some of their individual organization’s core vallues. This will truly allow the Greek community to understand how similar our community is.
These are the signature programs that each council sponsors during the academic year. Learning Goals Addressed: Understand the functions and strengths of the three major Greek councils at Loyola. Understand their own strengths and be able to identity there areas the\\at they excel in Students will then use these strengths to maximize their chapter/councils potential Analyze the strengths represented by different Greek chapters and councils on campus.
Learning Goals Addressed: Coordinate seminars and workshop to challenge the Greek population to be progressive and purposeful in its thinking Assess Greek student organizational needs on campus and create a programming agenda to address those needs. Make decisions about why programming is needed and what audience the programs should serve
Every chapter has its equivalent to an External Vice President and they will be held responsible for the communication to outside councils about coordinating collaboration efforts.
The cluster groups are comprised of roughly 10 students each (60 students total). The groups will deliberate for 45 mins to decide what is needed to plan the program, and the logistics of the program itself
Learning Goals Addressed: Frame useful questions around what needs should be addressed in relation to the student body at Loyola, Greek and non-Greek This slide will be showing during the the activity explained in the following slide.
The previous “Plan of Action” slide will actually be showing during the activity so the students may reference it.
My attempt at a “head fake” will be when I connect the fact that the students use all of the other 3 core values to complete the 4 th core value of unity.
