EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The University of Miami is home to over 15,000 students and offers over 180
majors and programs, with a strong international population that creates a very diverse
and exciting culture for the university (University of Miami). Vast opportunities exist for
students on campus to become involved in clubs, student government, extracurricular
activities, Greek life, philanthropy and academic achievement. However, this also
segments our student population into different academic and cultural circles. The
University of Miami campus is centered around the Otto G. Richter Library and the
Donna E. Shalala Student Center both socially and academically with many study areas
and food establishments. Although the opportunities for social interaction on campus are
endless, they are also widespread and unsupported. Many student organizations are
struggling to find members and/or create viable programs. A creative center for students
will unite the student body while allowing students to express themselves individually
and creatively.
Building a new center or utilizing one of the older, unused facilities on campus,
would improve student culture and strengthen student life overall. Inspired by the NYU
student-run center, The Market NYC, a creative center at the University of Miami is
exactly what students need, although they might not even know it yet. To inspire students
both entrepreneurially and creatively, without financial risk and with financial return, this
creative center is the only solution.
Students have business opportunities through LaunchPad and on-campus job
placement, but neither of these allows students the creative opportunities they need to
pursue their own business ideas or profit from their artistic talents. The LaunchPad is
oriented toward entrepreneurs looking start a business in the area, but focuses more on
long-term business development. On campus job opportunities are scarcely available and
are often only available for Federal Work-Study or minimum wage. Allowing and
encouraging students to participate in a student-run, student-profit organization is the
perfect solution to create more job opportunities for students and stimulate our on-
campus economy. This establishment would not only benefit the students who sell their
creations, but also the students who come to the vendors, engag.
In this ebook, you will learn what innovative colleges, students, and employers are doing with their experiential practical learning to succeed in the 21st century.

A College Education Has Become An Essential Part Of The American Dreamnoblex1
A college education has become an essential part of the American Dream for millions of families. Indeed, extensive polling and focus group research conducted by our coalition of higher education associations in the last year clearly demonstrates that the public overwhelmingly believes higher education is vitally important for personal success. Furthermore, they believe that all children should have the chance to attend postsecondary education and, despite the high price, that college is a "good value" for the money.
On the other hand, the public also is greatly concerned about the affordability of higher education, believes it is too expensive, and thinks that the price can be brought down without affecting academic quality. The public vastly overestimates the price of higher education at all types of colleges and dramatically underestimates the amount of financial aid that is available to help meet college bills. They don't know where student aid comes from or how to apply for it. Nor does the public understand why college prices increase. Most worrisome, perhaps, they think college leaders are indifferent to their concerns about the price of attending college. Our research also demonstrates that Americans worry about financing a college education. The lack of knowledge about paying for college is most acute among at-risk populations — first-generation college students, low-income families, and members of minority groups.
The great divergence between the value that the public places on having access to higher education and the lack of information they have about what it costs and how to afford it — what we call "the knowledge gap" — is deeply troubling. No one with a commitment to higher education can be satisfied with the news that the public is so poorly informed about issues of choice and access. It is surely a danger signal that the public believes college officials are indifferent to their fears about being able to afford a postsecondary education for their children.
THE NEED FOR A NATIONAL COALITION
What can be done? We believe that two related steps are absolutely essential. First, colleges and universities must redouble their efforts to explain college costs, the prices that students are charged, the amount and sources of financial aid that are available, and the options for financing a college education. We must reach out to a broad range of business, community, and religious organizations and solicit their support in improving public understanding.
Second, and no less important, colleges and universities must take strong steps to manage and contain costs, share innovative and successful cost management strategies, expand efforts to explain why costs increase on campuses, and talk candidly about the steps that have been taken to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Ready for Work: 7 Ways to Better Prepare Millennials for WorkBentley University
How can we better prepare millennials for the workforce? The U.S. unemployment rate for people aged 20 to 24 is nearly twice that of those aged 25 to 34, according to the bureau of labor statistics. While there’s been plenty of talk about the challenges millennials face as they enter the workforce, there’s been less discussion of how to actually fix the problem. In an attempt to move this conversation forward, Bentley University asked leaders in higher education and business how they would solve it. The outcome of those conversations, supported by survey research conducted by Bentley and KRC Research, is Bentley’s “Ready for Work: 7 Ways to Better Prepare Millennials for the Workplace.”

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.

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.

2. Stanford has announced a new fellowship for its students hailing from the
African continent. Africa is a place of infinite potential that remains largely
unexploited till now. With the world looking more keenly than ever before at
this vast continent, Stanford University is also doing its part in attracting the
best talent from Africa.
1. Stanford announces new Africa MBA fellowship
http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/
3. The fellowship program would pay for approximately 140,000 US$ for
citizens of African countries with demonstrated financial needs.
This program has been created specifically to reduce the financial barrier
for African citizens who wish to obtain their MBA from the prestigious
Graduate School of Business at Stanford University.
A caveat is that within two years of graduation from Stanford GSB, the
Stanford Africa MBA Fellows would be required to work in the African
continent for at least two years in a professional role that contributes to
the continent’s development.
The school aims to award up to eight fellowships annually and this pilot
program is expected to run for three to five years initially before scaling it
up further.
4. 2. International students may get additional financing options soon
Many students of international origin each year find themselves in a tricky situation.
Not everyone might qualify to get a loan for their education if they do not have a US
co-signer. And for the lucky few who do have some relatives in United States, there
are very few options available to them. Especially when you compare the options
available to their United States counterparts. This might soon change!
Alternate lending options which are becoming increasingly popular for US citizens,
might soon be available to the international students. This move could provide long-
lasting relief to the international students, who have been terribly hit post the
financial crisis.
5. The leading peer-to-peer lender is SoFi, which is aiming to lend as much as
1 Billion US$ this year. They have been actively pursuing the opportunity
to provide loans to international students, funded by alumni from the
student’s home country.
The same path is also being treaded by Pave, a crowd-funding start-up
that allows “prospects” to raise money from backers in return for a share
of their future income.
A major risk against which the lenders need to be careful about is the
chances of defaults. “The default rate is higher for international students”
who take out loans in the US, Mr. Kantrowitz says to Financial Times.
6. 3. Wharton Dean Thomas Robertson to step down in June 2014
http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/
Thomas S. Robertson has announced his
decision of not to seek reappointment as
the Dean of the Wharton School at
University of Pennsylvania. His present
term is set to end on June 30, 2014.
Dean Robertson shared his intent to
return to the Marketing faculty to teach
and pursue his research interests in a
letter addressed to the other members
of the Wharton faculty.
Robertson in his mail said “It is fulfilling
to be Dean at Wharton – both exciting
and challenging – and I believe that I
have accomplished what I set out to do”.
7. He also thanked all the members of Wharton, saying “I realize
that any success that I have as Dean is with your support,
dedication, and good counsel. I rely on all of you to conduct
leading-edge research, teach to the highest standards, and meet
with alumni and world leaders.”
Robertson has been the Dean at Wharton since 2007. He was
earlier a faculty member at the school from 1971 to 1994. He then
left to become the deputy dean of the London Business School.
Robertson held several jobs at Emory, including the dean
of its Goizueta Business School, before returning to Penn.
Malini Doddamani, a spokeswoman for the school
confirmed the news, saying that a search committee would
be put in place to find a replacement.
8. Matthew Moll, an Admissions Officer at the prestigious Columbia Business
School, recently posted about the most common admissions myths the
school encounters during the admissions process.
Moll dedicated a complete article on debunking these myths at the Voices of
Columbia Business School forum. Voices is a popular forum where posts are
co-written by MBA, EMBA students along with the Admissions Officers.
4. Columbia Business Schools debunk common admissions myths
http://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/
9. Moll started out by providing
advice on how to choose
recommenders during the
application process. Fancy,
highest-possible titles do not
matter as the school asks very
pointed and specific questions
from the recommenders.
Moll suggests that for applicants
to give themselves the best
chance, they should select
professionals who not only have
worked closely with the applicant
but also are invested in the
applicant’s career and want them
to succeed.
Another myth the committee
encounters is that there is a fixed
formula that the school follows
while selecting the candidates.
The review process, as per
Moll, is completely holistic and all
aspects of the application are
taken into consideration.
Students are admitted for a
variety of reasons, but never
rejected for just one reason.
A common concern for applicants
is the GMAT/GRE score, Moll
points out, suggesting that the
score is only a part of the
application and does not
singularly determine the
applicant’s fate.
10. 5. Exclusive new MBA for doctors, from Indiana University
Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business has announces a new MBA
program aimed specifically at mid-career Physicians. The underlying goal of the
program is to help doctors understand and curb the industry’s soaring costs.
“Government and employers are noticing that we can’t sustain the cost of
health care,” says Vicki Smith-Daniels, faculty chair of graduate business
programs in medicine at Kelley.
11. The same sentiment is echoed by
Anthony Sabatino, an MD who
specializes in interventional spine
medicine at Carmel, Ind., who plans to
enroll in the program.
“For health care to be better, doctors
must lead the change. Nobody else can,”
says Anthony. “But we must also remain
patient advocates.”
This MBA program is only open to
currently practicing doctors who are
around 40 – 55 years old and are taking
on greater accountability for patient
outcomes and costs. The school plans to
conduct half of the program online,
while the remaining half would be on
campus.
The primary idea behind this
program is the understanding that
doctors can no longer afford to
leave the business aspects to the
Finance personnel, while
continuing in their capacity as the
‘healers’.
12. Face time will happen at a frequency of one weekend per month.
For now, about 30 students will join the program, but the school will never
have more than 40 enrolled at a time, Smith-Daniels says.
The school has conducted an extensive research in designing the curriculum
to make it as relevant as possible to the practicing doctors.
More than 75 health care industry professionals were consulted to tailor the
entire curriculum.
Even the core courses would have a medical bent to them.
The two-year program is priced at $58,935.
13. 6.Carnegie Mellon establishes new Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
In a bid to bolster turning ideas and research carried in the University
into commercial enterprises, Carnegie Mellon University has merged the
strengths of its Project Olympus and the Donald H. Jones Center for
Entrepreneurship.
The resulting new center will be called the Center of Innovation and
Entrepreneurship (CIE).
http://www.cmu.edu/
14. Lenore Blum, the founder of Project Olympus and Professor of Computer
Science, and Dave Mawhinney, Executive Director of the Donald Jones Center
and Asst. Teaching Professor of Entrepreneurship, would jointly lead the newly
established CIE. The main goals listed for the CIE are:
Make Carnegie Mellon the ‘destination of choice’ for Entrepreneurship-
focused individuals
Establish and build an ‘inside-out’ approach in creating successful
commercial ventures from the school’s cutting-edge research
Develop a strong, extensive network of alumni entrepreneurs
The CIE intends to continue and build on the existing successful programs of
both Project Olympus and Donald Jones Center including seasonal Show &
Tell event that connects campus researchers with local and national investors,
the Open Field Entrepreneurs Fund, incubator space for fledgling companies,
entrepreneurship workshops and business competitions, such as the McGinnis
Venture Competition.
15. “We also will be establishing an Alumni
Entrepreneurial Network, tapping our
many alumni who have started or who
are leading successful startups,”
Mawhinney said. “Our alumni can
provide priceless guidance to the next
generation of entrepreneurs and we
will be nurturing those connections in
every way we can.”
The school would want to replicate the
success of both the parent
organizations, Donald Jones Center and
Project Olympus through this
endeavor.
The Tepper School of Business, home
to the Don Jones Center, was one of
the first business schools to offer
formal entrepreneurship training. The
Center has a rich history of bringing
students, faculty and practitioners
together with groundbreaking
research.
Project Olympus, since its founding in
the School of Computer Science six
years ago, has helped more than 100
student and faculty teams across
campus that sought to turn research
and great ideas into commercial
services and products
16. 7. ESADE to expand African focus
Katie Carr, the regional director for EMEA
and India for ESADE Business School,
suggests that the entire African continent
is neglected much more than it should be
by global business schools.
When Katie took up this role a few
months ago, she started off by analyzing
ESADE’s connection in the main regions
she is supporting – namely, Europe,
Middle East, Africa and India. An
interesting point was uncovered during
this analysis – More people take the
GMAT exam in Nigeria than in Spain.
Despite this, incoming students from the
entire African continent represents only
about 2-3% of the intake.
17. continent as a potential region for career opportunities. This prompted
ESADE to host an event earlier in March to highlight the opportunities
available in Africa and open the minds of their students. Five panelist
were asked to present during the awareness event.
Shaun Gauze, Chief Executive and Co-founder of Global Growth Inc. (GGI)
was one such panelist. His previous work in the continent mostly involved
charitable he
And the result is almost echoed even during
placements. Most students rule out the
18. 8. Top MBA programs becoming less selective
This is highlighted spectacularly by Ross
School, where the acceptance rate for the
2012 season was a whopping 40.6%, a 8.4%
increase from the previous year!
An analysis of the acceptance rates at
various schools showed that the rates
increased at 23 of the top 25 MBA
programs. Acceptance rates are generally
regarded as an effective way to measure
the overall health of a business school. A new trend, which may
come as a respite for many
applicants, has emerged over
the past couple of application
seasons. As the number of
applications to the top MBA
programs has dropped, the
acceptance rates have
increased tremendously.
19. As a general rule, the lower the acceptance rate, the greater is the
demand for that school.
A saving grace for Ross School may be the fact that many schools
have by force become less selective. Almost all the top U.S.
business schools have accepted a higher percentage of their
applicants, including Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton.
“After two consecutive years of increases in Full-time MBA
applications in the midst of declines at other schools, we experienced
a decline in our applications last fall,” explained Soojin Kwon, director
of admissions at Ross.
“In addition, we discontinued our international student loan program
in the middle of the admissions cycle, increasing our uncertainty
around yield.
This led us to increase the number of admissions offers.
20. As a result of these two factors, our acceptance rate was higher than in
the past.”
Among the top programs, only UCLA’s Anderson School seemed to be
immune to the trend. Anderson observed a 22% surge in its MBA
applications and consequently a 6% drop in its acceptance rate.
The second tier schools did seem to fare a little better though.
