It's not the death of higher education, but college as we've known it will be forced to undergo some dramatic changes in the next decade.
"Experts say that within the next 10 to 15 years, the college experience will become rapidly unbundled. Lecture halls will disappear, the role of the professor will transform, and technology will help make a college education much more attainable than it is today, and much more valuable. Indeed, a number of institutions may shut down. But those that survive will be innovative and efficient."
The document discusses how current college students still seek comfort, connection, and contribution but their current approaches through online tools are not very effective. It proposes a single web-based tool called Red Rover that would help students find others with similar interests, create and join student groups, and share work with the college community. The tool would also help colleges facilitate connections, assess and support students, and measure interaction. It claims this integrated solution could increase student support, retention, and success.
Utica College implemented a new network infrastructure provided by Extreme Networks to enhance connectivity across its campus and satellite locations.

The conference theme is "Pathways to Success within Higher Education." AABHE is seeking proposals that address one of five strands: pathways to leadership, publishing/research, health/STEM, diversity/ethnic studies, or cultural arts. Proposals are due by October 12, 2012 and should include presenter information, presentation type (general session or roundtable), selected strand(s), program title, 85-word abstract, and 500-word description.
This research and writing boot camp is a three-part program designed to help new and experienced faculty strengthen their research and writing skills. The first segment will provide practical writing strategies. The second will give insights from journal editors on getting published. The third will cover critical elements for developing a tenure dossier, such as maintaining a research agenda. The overall goal is to underscore the key elements needed for success in the tenure and promotion process. Participants are encouraged to bring work-in-progress to get feedback.
The document announces an event called "Take Back the Night 2012" happening on October 23rd to address the issue of sexual assault on college campuses. Buses will leave Dillard University at 5pm and return at 9pm to take students to Loyola University's horseshoe at 6pm for the event. T-shirts for the event are $8 and can be purchased from the student organizer Candace Banks by October 5th. Faculty and staff are encouraged to wear denim and teal that day in support of the cause. The event is being organized by students and professors from Dillard University's psychology department.

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.
