Download or read book The Complete Handbook for College Women written by Carol Weinberg and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1994-07-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, college is portrayed as posing as many perils for young women as it does opportunities and challenges. The cover of The New York Times Magazine tells us that "Crime Turns The Campus into an Armed Campr" at the same time that dozens of schools experience painful racial upheavals. Date rape, eating disorders, drugs and alcohol, hate crimes, the recent firestorm over political correctnessall have combined recently to make college seem a daunting, even threatening experience. This need not be so, says Carol Weinberg, and in The Complete Handbook for College Women she provides concrete, incisive advice to help young women make the most of their college experience. Away from home for the first time, in an unfamiliar environment, paired with a stranger as a roommate, the college student faces a number of imposing academic and social challenges. As an experienced college administrator who has spent over twenty years working with students at a range of colleges, Weinberg is an ideally suited guide to help young women navigate their way through what may well be the most formative experience of their lives. Written in a straight-forward, personable manner, The Complete Handbook for College Women is must reading for both college- bound women and students already at school, as well as a valuable guide for administrators, parents, and anyone involved with higher education. Issues discussed include: first arrival and issues of independence and responsibility; family ties and loneliness; assertiveness and conflict resolution; physical and emotional health; eating disorders; alcohol and drugs; codependency; sexuality; sexual harassment; sexual abuse, rape, and personal safety; and the many components of living in a diverse environment, such as ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, class, disability, age, and appearance.

Download or read book Minority Student Retention written by Alan Seidman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student retention continues to be a vexing problem for all colleges and universities. In spite of the money spent on creating programs and services to help retain students until they achieve their academic and personal goals, and graduate, the figures have not improved over time. This is particularly true for minority students, who have a greater attrition rate than majority students. Demographic information shows that the minority population in the United States is growing at a faster rate than the majority. It is imperative that educational institutions find ways to help improve retention rates for all students but particularly minority students. Retention rates should not differ appreciably among different racial/ethnic groups."The Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory and Practice" is the only scholarly, peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to college student retention. It has published many articles on minority student retention, and this topic continues to garner much attention. This book is a compilation of the very best of these articles, selected on the basis of reviews by a cadre of experts in the education field. The articles discuss African American, Latino/Latina, Asian and Asian Pacific, Native American, and biracial students, and institutional commitments to retaining a diverse student population. For those interested in this vital area, the collection will teach and inspire them to achieve greater heights and pay additional attention to retaining minority students in our colleges and universities.

Download or read book Life in a Japanese Women s College written by Brian J. McVeigh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One third of the Japanese female workforce are 'office ladies' and their training takes place in the many women's junior colleges. Office ladies are low-wage, low-status secretaries who have little or no job security. Brian J. McVeigh draws on his experience as a teacher at one such institution to explore the cultural and social processes used to promote 'femininity' in Japanese women. His detailed and ethnographically-informed study considers how the students of these institutions are socialized to fit their future dual roles of employees and mothers, and illuminates the sociopolitical role that the colleges play in Japanese society as a whole.
