Download or read book Death Zones and Darling Spies written by Beverly Deepe Keever and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chosen for 2015 One Book One Nebraska In 1961, equipped with a master's degree from famed Columbia Journalism School and letters of introduction to Associated Press bureau chiefs in Asia, twenty-six-year-old Beverly Deepe set off on a trip around the world. Allotting just two weeks to South Vietnam, she was still there seven years later, having then earned the distinction of being the longest-serving American correspondent covering the Vietnam War and garnering a Pulitzer Prize nomination. In Death Zones and Darling Spies, Beverly Deepe Keever describes what it was like for a farm girl from Nebraska to find herself halfway around the world, trying to make sense of one of the nation's bloodiest and bitterest wars. She arrived in Saigon as Vietnam's war entered a new phase and American helicopter units and provincial advisers were unpacking. She tells of traveling from her Saigon apartment to jungles where Wild West-styled forts first dotted Vietnam's borders and where, seven years later, they fell like dominoes from communist-led attacks. In 1965 she braved elephant grass with American combat units armed with unparalleled technology to observe their valor--and their inability to distinguish friendly farmers from hide-and-seek guerrillas. Keever's trove of tissue-thin memos to editors, along with published and unpublished dispatches for New York and London media, provide the reader with you-are-there descriptions of Buddhist demonstrations and turning-point coups as well as phony ones. Two Vietnamese interpreters, self-described as "darling spies," helped her decode Vietnam's shadow world and subterranean war. These memoirs, at once personal and panoramic, chronicle the horrors of war and a rise and decline of American power and prestige.

Download or read book ArtCurious written by Jennifer Dasal and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art history as you've never seen it before, from the host of the beloved ArtCurious podcast We're all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how about the fact that one of Andy Warhol's most enduring legacies involves Caroline Kennedy's moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail clippings? ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most fascinating stories behind the world's great artists and masterpieces. Through these and other incredible, weird, and wonderful tales, ArtCurious presents an engaging look at why art history is, and continues to be, a riveting and relevant world to explore.

Download or read book University Fundraising in Britain written by William Squire and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: University Fundraising in Britain is an account of the culture change in British universities as people from all walks of life rallied to the cause of maintaining the quality of teaching and research through fundraising, in the face of the unprecedented expansion of student numbers. It recounts how a few individuals began to adapt professional fundraising to an academic environment, describes the impact of transatlantic ideas of ‘best practice’ and their adaptation to local circumstances through the work of a few individuals from the UK and North America, and how the academic leadership, government policy and influential volunteers came together to expand philanthropy as an important source of revenue in colleges and universities throughout the UK. It documents the expansion of student numbers in the USA and UK and the differing financial models supporting the higher education sector. When New Labour found the existing funding model of higher education to be unsustainable, one response was to seek new ways to kick-start university fundraising, and to encourage philanthropy. University leaders were quick to respond and to follow the early pioneers such as the universities of Edinburgh and later Oxford and Cambridge. The result was a significant increase in non-governmental sources of income and a new profession of university fundraisers. William Squire was the first development director at the University of Cambridge and the book incorporates many of his personal experiences in the changing world of university fundraising. Whilst University Fundraising in Britain is a work of social history that primarily focuses on university fundraising, many parts of the book apply wherever there is a need to attract funds for all kinds of charitable and cultural activities. The book has a foreword by Sir Adrian Cadbury, former Chancellor of Aston University and a well-known industrialist and philanthropist.

Download or read book Increasing Alumni Engagement at Delaware Technical Community College written by Christine B. Gillan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Delaware Technical Community College opened its doors over five decades ago, over 50,000 people have graduated from the institution. There are currently 15,000 students enrolled at campuses statewide, and since 97% of those students are Delawareans, there is an extremely large untapped group of individuals who could be engaged to become involved with the College once they graduate. Delaware Technical Community College could benefit significantly from increased alumni engagement. My goals were to engage graduates to serve as role models and mentors for students and inspire them to complete their degrees, provide internship and networking opportunities, volunteer at events and activities that raise funds and project a positive image in the community, and act as ambassadors in the community promoting Delaware Tech as a high quality education choice. I recommended four strategies to increase alumni engagement at the College. The first was to improve Delaware Tech’s website to engage alumni more effectively. The second was to create and implement an alumni social media plan. Creating a college-wide alumni engagement task force was the third strategy, and the final strategy was hosting additional alumni events and inviting alumni to participate in existing campus events and activities. After reviewing best practices, I worked with Delaware Tech’s web manager to make significant improvements to the alumni pages of the College website. After the new alumni pages were launched, an e-newsletter was sent to the current alumni email list of 12,436 addresses inviting them to visit the newly designed alumni website. n order to implement the second strategy to create an alumni social media plan, I recently hired a social media manager (a new position in my division) to work with the vice president for institutional effectiveness and development and me on this initiative. Although we currently have alumni followers on all of our channels, social media will be an important tool to increase engagement. In order to implement my third strategy, I have recommended establishing a college-wide alumni engagement task force with representatives from all of the divisions in the College with additional representation from the Instruction and Student Affairs Divisions. This group will create and implement a strategic plan for alumni engagement. Additionally, I have recommended that alumni be invited to participate in existing events and that events should be created to increase alumni involvement. Moving forward, it will be important for Delaware Tech leaders to continue to explore creative ways to keep alumni engaged. Social media is just one example of a communication method that is constantly changing. It will be vital to keep a dialogue going with students, staff, faculty, and alumni about what will keep them engaged with the College.
