This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban community colleges--and the cities they serve--are undergoing rapid, multidimensional changes in response to new conditions and demands. The challenge for all community colleges, regardless of size or location, is to reinvent themselves so they can better meet the particular needs of their respective communities. This national higher-education mandate is vital to democracy itself, especially given the multiracial nature of metropolitan areas, where challenges and opportunities have always been most pronounced. This volume looks at how urban colleges are vigorously exploring new strategies for sustainability and success. Some of the most prominent practitioners examine every major aspect of the change-engagement process, including the role of governing boards, workforce development, community partnerships, and redesign of outdated business and finance models. This is the 162nd volume of this Jossey-Bass higher education quarterly report series, an essential guide for presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, this quarterly provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student Affairs in Urban-Serving Institutions: Voices from Senior Leaders addresses a critical gap in literature concerning the unique structure, students, and missions of urban-serving institutions (USIs). Examining the challenges and contributions of student affairs professionals in serving and meeting the needs of urban students, this volume discusses how services and interventions must reflect the reality of students, understand the sociopolitical forces that affect students’ lives, and bring together a network that includes family and community. Each chapter in this volume captures the voices of student affairs leaders who not only share a range of important professional experiences, insights, and lessons learned but also unpack research and literature on competencies, knowledge bases, and experiences needed to work in urban universities and community colleges. This important book will help graduate students as well as new and continuing professionals, faculty, and scholars impact practice and policy and become agents of change in their communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to find predictors of student success. Using a predictive correlational design, the intent of the study was to find the relationships between the dichotomous dependent variable with the categories, degree recipients and non-degree recipients, and the independent variables, student characteristics and risk factors. The conceptual framework for this study was Astin's Input-Environment-Outcome (I-E-O) model which addresses the complexities of research in higher education by highlighting the interdependence between inputs, environments, and outputs. The use of a predictive design allowed the researcher to find the likelihood of a relationship between outcomes by using the independent variables as predictors. To address the research questions descriptive statistics, bivariate cross tabulations, and binary logistic regression were conducted. The descriptive statistics were reported from the participants' responses and the percentage of the total response. The bivariate cross tabulations measured the relationship between the expected and observed counts for the two categories. During the analysis only the significant categorical variables were retained and entered into SPSS using the default enter mode. The distinguishing characteristics of successful community college students were found in the student characteristics age, race, and parents' education. The distinguishing characteristics of risk factors were found in delayed enrollment, dependents, and part-time enrollment. Specifically, the predictors for participants who earned the associate degree consisted of a non-traditional aged student, who is White, with a parent who graduated from college or higher, had a minimal delay in entry into the community college, was enrolled part-time, and did not have dependents. Implications from practice to policy are presented in relation to how the community college should strengthen its focus on the traditional aged student who is a minority, the first in the family to attend college, has a minimal delay in their entry into college, enrolls full-time, and has dependents. -- Abstract.

This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social demonstrations that take place on university campuses have profound effects on students as well as the environments in which those students live and learn. These demonstrations, in recent years, have taken on traditional forms such as spontaneous protests, organized marches, and organized rallies, but they have also been affected by technologically mediated strategies that can bring larger sets of students together to support shared beliefs. Exploring the Technological, Societal, and Institutional Dimensions of College Student Activism provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of social demonstrations on university campuses and responses from administrative professionals. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as advocacy, student activism, and free speech, this book is ideally designed for university administrators, policymakers, government officials, academic leaders, researchers, and institutions seeking current research on student engagement in social demonstrations on the campuses of colleges and universities.

Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between personal characteristics of urban community college trustees and their viewpoints of (a) the community college mission, (b) mission function statements, and (c) the ranking of mission functions. Three general research questions guided this study: Is there a relationship between the personal characteristics of trustees and their viewpoints of mission function statements of urban community colleges? Is there a relationship between the personal characteristics of trustees and their viewpoints of the ranking of mission functions? Is there a relationship between the personal characteristics of trustees and their viewpoints of mission? The relationship of the dichotomous variables associated with the personal characteristics of gender, race, age, employment status, educational level, primary occupation, professions, social class, and family annual income of trustees were examined to determine the relationship with trustee viewpoints, which served as dependent interval variables. Crosstabulation was used to determine differences in the first two hypotheses associated with the first two research questions. Multiple Regression was the statistical application used to test the hypothesis associated with the third research question. The level of significance was established at p ≤ .05.
