Strategic Planning for Community Engagement with Maryville CollegeBonner Foundation
The Bonner Foundation is pleased to support Maryville College in its strategic visioning and planning for community engaged learning at Maryville College (TN). Ariane Hoy and Liz Brandt are working with the Center for Community Engagement.
On February 25, 2022, representatives from seven colleges and universities in the Bonner Network met for the launch of the Bonner Pathways Project. These institutions share an aspiration to make civic learning and democratic engagement embedded in their institutional fabrics, such that 25% of graduates will have deep, multiyear experiences culminating in community-engaged capstone level work. These experiences have a proven link with student retention, success, learning, well-being, and post-graduate outcomes. This Community of Practice will work over the next several years to reach its goal, developing models for higher education. This project is led by the Bonner Foundation team, including Bobby Hackett, Ariane Hoy, Rachayita Shah, Liz Brandt, Arthur Tartee, and Kristi Cordier.
The document discusses several strategies for improving student retention:
1) Validation strategies make students feel their education is worthwhile through recognition of achievements and mentoring.
2) Practical learning opportunities and a culture of success help keep students engaged.
3) Resources like counseling and job advice provide support.
Retention efforts are most effective when addressing problems early through programs focused on admissions, assessment, assistance and orientation during a student's first year. Individualized attention helps students stay enrolled.
The document discusses the barriers faced by first-generation students in higher education, such as academic, cultural, social, and financial challenges. It also outlines best practices for TRIO programs in helping overcome these obstacles, including ensuring social integration, intensive holistic support, and forming relationships between students and faculty. The document recommends improving TRIO practices by streamlining eligibility requirements based on Pell grant status, encouraging collaboration between programs, and incentivizing coordination across institutions to create unified pathways for students.
The University of Virginia conducted market research on its decentralized annual fundraising efforts. It found alumni felt pride in UVA but were confused by the many fundraising units. A unified "Virginia Fund" was proposed to establish a shared identity, clearly define uses, and better coordinate communications. Key insights included emphasizing the university brand, illustrating how small gifts impact programs, and tailoring messages and timing to alumni segments. Testing various communication strategies was recommended to continually improve the annual fundraising process.

This document discusses strategies for improving student transfer and degree completion rates across Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MNSCU). It outlines initiatives like Graduate Minnesota, which aims to reconnect former students with fewer than 20 credits left to complete their degree. Presenters discuss expanding individualized degrees, improving credit transfer policies through tools like the Smart Transfer Plan, and piloting reverse transfer to award associate degrees to students who transfer before completing them. The document emphasizes the need for continued inter-institutional collaboration on advising, policies, and initiatives to help more students attain degrees.
This document summarizes the author's observations on academic advising during a visit to five universities in New Orleans. It finds that most institutions employ both professional and faculty advisors. Professional advisors commonly assist new students, while faculty advisors take over later. Central advising centers support retention through various activities and refer students to other campus services. While systems vary, balancing benefits of professional and faculty advising, and coordinating them effectively, are key challenges faced. There may be opportunities for the U.K. system to learn from centralized advising approaches that support student retention in the U.S.
The Accreditation Challenges in Transnational Educational Ecology: The Ghana...Valdosta State University
The transnational nature of the contemporary educational ecology has placed many national accreditation boards under an enormous pressure in executing their mandate of monitoring, supervising, and granting accreditation to academic institutions and the programs they offer. In recent times, the Ghana National Accreditation Board (NAB from now on) has come under an immense public scrutiny for what the public may have rightly perceived as its failure to perform its gatekeeping role in safeguarding the credibility of educational products sold to the Ghanaian public by some unaccredited educational institutions.
Using a purposive comparative framework, we selected for interrogation cases of institutions and individuals who have come under public scrutiny for awarding and receiving academic qualifications and awards that the public considers questionable. This is to answer three pertinent questions:
I. What is the accreditation status of institutions selected for analysis?
II. Who are the individuals associated with these institutions?
III. What are the motives of these individuals for acquiring these degrees/awards?
The report indicates that some of the institutions in question are in breach of the NAB’s instrument of authority, while others have acquired NAB’s accreditation under questionable arrangements. The report further indicates that two categories of individuals are identifiable in these accreditation controversies. While one group views higher academic qualifications as career tools, the other considers these awards as status symbols for self-actualization and a seal for the legitimization of their place of honor in the public’s eye. An uncritical-propaganda-dogged media coupled with an unquestioning public continues to fuel the practice.
The document provides information on initiating contact and collaborating with U.S. universities. It discusses common roles at U.S. universities such as presidents, provosts, deans, and international officers. It suggests first contacting the international office or relevant academic departments to discuss opportunities. Areas of interest for collaboration often include science, engineering, agriculture, and health sciences. The best ways to connect include conferences and campus visits. Research collaborations are often started between individual faculty members based on complementary strengths and mutual benefits. Thorough preparation is important to identify potential partners and opportunities for collaboration.
The document summarizes information about a Community Fund and proposes a Social Innovation Fund for Bonner Scholars. The Community Fund provides $50 per scholar each semester to support community programs, student projects, and training. It outlines a 4-stage process for funding: increasing awareness, completing proposals, selecting projects, and evaluating impact. The Social Innovation Fund would provide smaller initial grants for social innovation projects developed and led by scholars with community and faculty support. Feedback is requested on interest, guidelines, and staff support needed.
This document discusses the opportunity costs and marginal costs and benefits of attending college versus not attending college. It notes that the opportunity costs of not attending college include limiting career and income potential, as well as limiting ability to contribute to one's community. The marginal costs of college include tuition, fees, supplies, and lost time/wages. The marginal benefits include higher lifetime earnings, career advancement opportunities, knowledge and skills gained, and improved social and problem-solving abilities. It concludes that while college has obstacles, the benefits of the degree can make the journey worthwhile if the benefits outweigh the costs.

This document discusses the challenges facing higher education institutions and how student retention has become increasingly important due to declining state funding and pressure to keep costs low. It summarizes theories on student retention and highlights a study conducted at Murray State University that found students who used library resources and services were twice as likely to be retained as non-users. The study demonstrated moderate to strong correlations between library collections, instruction, facilities and the ten high-impact educational practices that improve student retention. While libraries currently rely too heavily on indirect and anecdotal measures, the era of big data provides opportunities to directly assess the impact of the library on retention through metrics like usage data and correlations with student success outcomes.

It discusses approaches that are faculty-driven, student-driven, or institution-driven. Faculty-driven strategies include offering mini-grants, training programs, colloquia, and developmental course sequences. Student-driven strategies involve engaging faculty through independent studies, internships, leadership roles, and viewing students as colleagues. Institution-driven approaches encompass using accreditation/strategic plans, revising tenure guidelines, and partnering with national organizations. The document provides examples of different schools that have implemented these strategies successfully.
This document discusses the role of public relations in higher education institutions. It outlines that the president is typically the chief public relations officer and large universities also have a vice president of development and university relations who oversees offices related to fundraising, alumni relations, and public relations. Development and alumni personnel seek to enhance the prestige and financial support of their institution through various activities. Building alumni loyalty is also considered important for fundraising efforts, which have increased in recent years. Faculty, staff, students, government entities, and local communities are also discussed as important publics that university public relations programs aim to engage with.

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.
