The purpose of this study was to describe the leadership development process
of former student leaders at Snow College. More specifically, the study focused on
understanding how, when, and where leadership development took place in their
"lived experience" within the student government at Snow College (Van Manen,
1998). Examining the...
Fundraising in the 21st century is becoming an increasingly important component of rural community colleges' (RCCs) overall funding strategies. Alumni represent a significant population of potential college supporters. The problem facing rural community colleges involves fiscal viability through developing innovative fundraising practices and identifying emerging sources of additional revenue. The...
Semi-insulating, powder samples of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) have been studied using ¹¹¹In Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) Spectroscopy. The samples have been lightly doped (~10¹² cm⁻³) with ¹¹¹In atoms, which occupy well-defined metal (Cd) lattice sites and act as probes of the local environment. These substitutional donors form a...
In order to achieve a better understanding of the processes that occur during
formation and sintering of zirconia, various chemical and physical techniques were
used. Along with Perturbation Angular Correlation spectroscopy, that allowed us to
investigate microscopic properties inside the nanometer-size zirconia grains, such
techniques as Scanning Electron Microscopy and...
In order to understand better the defect structure and dynamics associated
with lower valent dopants complexed with native defects in group IV oxides, In/Cd
perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy was performed in ceria and zirconia. Examining
the orientation symmetry axis of defects in ceria single crystals at low temperature
has allowed...
We present a high-resolution Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mascon solution for Gulf of Alaska (GOA) glaciers and compare this with in situ glaciological, climate and other remote-sensing observations. Our GRACE solution yields a GOA glacier mass balance of -65 ± 11 Gta⁻¹ for the period December 2003 to...
The essays in this collection do not cluster about a specific theme, nor do they present a single unified interpretative approach to issues in the history of American foreign policy. Above all, William Appleman Williams is a teacher. And good teachers are disappointed with conformity. No one would ever come...
Over the past twenty years, the national three-year graduation rate for community college students has ranged from 44% to roughly 31% in 2013 (NCES, 2013). As a way to address such low graduation rates, colleges have implemented a myriad of services and programs (i.e., tutoring, mentoring, etc.). Another intervention is...
This literature seeks to broadly examine historical literature and information pertaining to developmental education in the community colleges and its relationship with the college success. Contextually, the review will examine factors that affect student perception to academic success while being required to participate in remedial course work. Although issues surrounding...
The purpose of this study is to identify factors that support the likelihood of persistence of academically underprepared community college students to 45 college level credits. Factors considered in this research include: (a) race/ethnicity, (b) age, (c) enrollment status, (d) socio-economic status (SES), (e) first quarter GPA, (f) developmental need,...
