Book excerpt: This research study explored the college experiences of undergraduate university female students of color who were mentored by female alumna of color through the students’ involvement in a two-year mentoring program. The primary focus of the research was whether alumnae-based mentoring enhanced or impacted the overall college experience of female students of color. To conduct this qualitative research, information was gathered through in-depth interviews. The following questions guided the inquiry: (1) How does mentoring of female students of color by female alumni of color impact their transition from high school to a PWI (predominately White institution) in Pennsylvania? (2) How does mentoring female students of color by female alumni of color impact their retention at a PWI in Pennsylvania? (3) How does mentoring of female students of color by female alumni of color impact their sense of belonging to a PWI in Pennsylvania? The research revealed that participants perceived the alumnae-based mentoring program and access to an alumni mentor to be beneficial in their transition to a rural environment, their persistence towards degree completion, and their overall sense of belonging in a college community. Implications of this research can be used for university personnel and university administrations who look to add an alumnae-based mentoring program to improve their college community for female students of color attending a predominantly White institution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking history of how elite colleges and universities in America and Britain finally went coed As the tumultuous decade of the 1960s ended, a number of very traditional, very conservative, highly prestigious colleges and universities in the United States and the United Kingdom decided to go coed, seemingly all at once, in a remarkably brief span of time. Coeducation met with fierce resistance. As one alumnus put it in a letter to his alma mater, "Keep the damned women out." Focusing on the complexities of institutional decision making, this book tells the story of this momentous era in higher education—revealing how coeducation was achieved not by organized efforts of women activists, but through strategic decisions made by powerful men. In America, Ivy League schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth began to admit women; in Britain, several of the men's colleges at Cambridge and Oxford did the same. What prompted such fundamental change? How was coeducation accomplished in the face of such strong opposition? How well was it implemented? Nancy Weiss Malkiel explains that elite institutions embarked on coeducation not as a moral imperative but as a self-interested means of maintaining a first-rate applicant pool. She explores the challenges of planning for the academic and non-academic lives of newly admitted women, and shows how, with the exception of Mary Ingraham Bunting at Radcliffe, every decision maker leading the charge for coeducation was male. Drawing on unprecedented archival research, “Keep the Damned Women Out” is a breathtaking work of scholarship that is certain to be the definitive book on the subject.

Download or read book Alumni Matter written by Betsy Bedigian and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a recent survey of continuing and professional education leaders, the University Continuing Education Association (UCEA) reported that marketing budgets are steadily rising with institutions spending an average of $319 million on an integrated marketing mix that targets would-be students. What the numbers do not tell is the potential benefit of employing relationship management principles in marketing to the customer--college alumni and alumnae. Relationship marketing has emerged as the leading revenue-driving tool, especially within the service sector, for savvy marketers. Although education is widely viewed as a service industry, education has been slow to adopt relationship marketing practices. Recent research reveals that more and more graduates will turn to their alma mater, not only for maintenance of old classmate friendships, but also for further education, career guidance, and networking opportunities. For higher education institutions, these alumni needs present ever more opportunities to expand colleges' continuing education departments by cementing their relationship with alumni. By viewing the student as a lifelong customer, colleges are ready to respond to alumni current and anticipated needs. As corporations across the globe move from product-centric toward customer-centric business models, the importance of customer relations-management (CRM) has never been greater. To increase revenue corporate leaders know they must think more like their customers and truly understand the customers' perspectives. This document defines CRM as a systematic approach using information and an ongoing dialogue to build long lasting and mutually beneficial customer relationships. (Contains 1 footnote.).

Download or read book Everyday Matters written by Nardi Reeder Campion and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2004 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a life that has spanned much of the twentieth century. It is the story of a long and happy marriage, of advances in women’s rights, of forging a career as a writer (including the excitement of a big Hollywood sale), of the sometimes bewildering pace of progress, and of raising a family in a rapidly changing world. With her wit, insightful storytelling, and keen ear for offbeat anecdotes, Nardi Reeder Campion speaks for a generation that has traveled from the roaring twenties into the twenty-first century. “We were before pantyhose, penicillin, and the pill . . . ” Campion’s address to a reunion of her Wellesley College class of 1938 has earned her a niche in cyberspace. Endlessly circulated via e-mail and even featured in the Ann Landers columns, it combines Campion’s charm, wisdom, and self-deprecating humor. She has now written a memoir distinguished by those same qualities. “In our day, we got married first and then lived together. How quaint can you be?” Campion’s memoir is, in part, the story of a long and loving marriage, one that lasted fifty-nine years and “survived four jobs, seven books, nine homes, and nineteen pets (not counting gerbils).” Whether she is describing the joys of marriage to a fun-loving husband or the pain of her son’s emotional breakdown, the (sometimes mixed) blessings of grandchildren or the difficult decision to move into a retirement home, Campion’s deft mix of humor and candor yields an appealing and engaging narrative. Always seeking to discover what is worthwhile, she writes movingly about love and about death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, scholars in higher education have examined the ways in which students' experiences in the classroom and the human capital they attain impact social class inequalities. In this book, Jenny Stuber argues that the experiential core of college life-the social and extra-curricular worlds of higher education-operates as a setting in which social class inequalities manifest and get reproduced. As college students form friendships and get involved in activities like Greek life, study abroad, and student government, they acquire the social and cultural resources that give them access to valuable social and occupational opportunities beyond the college gates. Yet students' social class backgrounds also impact how they experience the experiential core of college life, structuring their abilities to navigate their campus's social and extra-curricular worlds. Stuber shows that upper-middle-class students typically arrive on campus with sophisticated maps and navigational devices to guide their journeys-while working-class students are typically less well equipped for the journey. She demonstrates, as well, that students' social interactions, friendships, and extra-curricular involvements also shape-and are shaped by-their social class worldviews-the ideas they have about their own and others' class identities and their beliefs about where they and others fit within the class system. By focusing on student' social class worldviews, this book provides insight into how identities and consciousness are shaped within educational settings. Ultimately, this examination of what happens inside the college gates shows how which higher education serves as an avenue for social reproduction, while also providing opportunities for the contestation of class inequalities.
