Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of Dean of Students is pivotal: in students’ lives; for their institutions as a conduit to senior administration about issues of concern to students; as a figure who can coordinate disparate campus constituencies -- from academic affairs and athletics to campus safety and relationships with parents and alums; and as a crisis manager.What preparation, skills, dispositions, and knowledge do DOSs need to be effective in their role; and, indeed, what areas and range of activities generally fall under their responsibility?Through chapters by experienced DOSs – from early career to veterans and in between – this book provides vivid first-hand accounts of what’s involved in managing the multiple roles of the deanship, its immense personal rewards, the positive impact that practitioners can make in the lives of students, and on campus policy and environment, without glossing over the demands on time and the concomitant stresses. The contributors describe the paths they followed to take on the role, and what they do to keep current.Each chapter offers a wealth of anecdotes that provide an insider’s feel for the daily life of the DOS, and how incumbents have found ways to integrate family and personal needs with the discharging of their often demanding responsibilities. The contributing authors offer valuable advice on setting priorities and dealing with issues as varied as setting budgets, creating an effective team, delegation, and addressing student conduct issues. They offer guidance on developing allies across campus, keeping up to date with trends and legislation, and building a network of mentors and advisors through professional associations and connection with their peers at institutions around the country. The book concludes with some perspectives about the meaning and purpose of the dean of students role in our current era and as we look to the future of higher education.The dean of students is a challenging role because it is often the one administrator thrust onto the frontlines to meet students not only at their best, but also at their worst. This person is an advocate and educator, disciplinarian and friend, confidant and counselor, and advisor and parent all rolled into one. Keep Calm and Call the Dean of Students offers a unique window into this challenging and rewarding position that will appeal to sitting deans; to those seeking this role; and to senior leaders in higher education seeking to appoint a DOS and/or organize a dean of students portfolio of responsibilities.

Download or read book Media as Procedures of Communication written by Martin Luginbühl and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the multifaceted nature of media and communication by challenging traditional views that consider media solely as technical infrastructures for transmitting information. Instead, it focuses on mediality as an empirically relevant concept and proposes to understand media as socially constituted semiotic procedures that shape and are shaped by communicative practices. The book is structured around this central idea, with four main sections. Part I examines digital environments, analyzing the interplay between multimodal approaches and mediality through case studies such as digital learning platforms and Zoom seminars. Part II focuses on journalistic procedures, investigating how media shapes political debates and news presentation on platforms like Instagram. Part III delves into embodied processes, particularly the role of the body movements and gestures in communication, illustrated through analyses of yoga tutorials and family dinner conversations. Part IV combines diverse semiotic and medial resources, with studies on historical data interpretation and virtual reality gaming practices. The book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of different media in constituting meaning and shaping social interactions.

Download or read book The President S Angel written by Carla Bruce and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-03-30 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When their candidate for president dies from a massive heart attack on the eve of the partys convention, the committee scrambles to find a replacement. They agree that the cowboy charm of Drummond Wakefield, junior senator from Wyoming, is their best bet. Appalled at first at the idea of becoming a replacement candidate, and with only hours to make a decision, Drum weighs the options and decides to go for it. A major factor in his decision is the opportunity to run a campaign with no negative or derisive comments about the opposition. This creates problems for the party chairman, but Drum stands firm. Three days after winning the election by a narrow margin, he and his team fly to the family ranch in Wyoming to relax. On a horseback ride to his favorite place in the mountains, an angel appears to Drum and informs him that God has an important role for him to play in the restoration of godly values in America. The idea of a God so vitally and personally involved in his life continually keeps Drum off balance. He must deal with the puzzled reactions of his wife and others. He reveals his renewed commitment to God, but does not broadcast the story of the angels visit. His boldness to propose new ways to deal with old issues upsets the status-quo, and a blackmail attempt forces him to admit and deal with an incident from his past. As the light that has entered the presidents life shines brighter, penetrating the darkness of people and situations around him, opposition escalates and culminates with an assassination attempt.

Book excerpt: "Under the best conditions, being an entrepreneur can be filled with anxiety and trepidation. Throw in some challenging circumstances, and trepidation turns to downright terror. Charles Ota Heller is a Holocaust survivor who arrived in the US as a penniless thirteen-year-old who spoke two words of English. Exhibiting strength, persistence, and determination, he earned an athletic scholarship to college and obtained three degrees in engineering. He became an academic at the cutting edge of new computer technology and was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug. Over the next twenty years as CEO of technology companies and an additional twenty as an investor in, and mentor of, startup companies, Charlie experienced the joys, successes, failures, and terrors of entrepreneurship. When the FBI attempted to shut down his company on a trumped-up charge, memories of World War II and the Gestapo filled him with the terror of uncertainty. He was betrayed by a member of his management team and was deposed from leadership of the company he founded. Then he discovered that his partner in a venture capital fund was dishonest and Charlie had to fight to maintain his own reputation. Ready, Fire, Aim is the story of his riveting journey, told as a powerful, candid, engrossing adventure that will not only entertain but will leave present and budding entrepreneurs with valuable takeaways."
