Overview There is very little in life that doesn’t need some sort of plan to facilitate the achievement of a goal, be it writing a shopping list, looking at a map to plan a route, or even putting a post code into a satellite navigation system! In essence planning is our attempt to predict the future so that when the future arrives we are prepared for it. At its simplest planning is waking up and deciding what to have for breakfast at its most complex planning is preparing the allocation of resources to look after an aging population in 30 years time.

  • To See You! We Can't Wait
    We can’t wait to see you! Britain’s getting booked Full refunds and free changes on all bookings in 2021 Warner’s Coronavirus Guarantee is free on every break in 2021. It gives the flexibility to cancel and receive a full refund, swap dates or change hotels if anything coronavirus-related upsets travel plans. That means holiday protection against illness, tier restrictions, isolation, hotel closure, or simply if you’re feeling unsure. 2 Mountgarret Lounge, Nidd Hall They say the best views come after the hardest climb. Truthfully, it’s been steeper than any of us could have imagined, two steps back for every one forward. But we can see the top now. And I can tell you that it’s never looked so good. We’re keen to make up for the holidays you’ve lost so have been working hard behind closed doors. All your favourites are back – what would Warner be without those amazing menus and shows – but we’re also injecting everything with a whole new lease of life. Disco Inferno The support we give the British entertainment industry is stronger than ever with music legends on stage and our unique spin on festivals, at least ten every month. We’re also celebrating the best of British food with brand-new menus and a £3m investment for more restaurants and lounges. Romeo & Juliet on summer lawns, gin festivals, afternoon tea with a twist, cycle trails, wellness retreats, a soul festival. I could go on… It’s exciting, hope you feel it too, especially Popham Suite, Littlecote House Hotel for what’s shaping up to be the year of the staycation.

  • Commencement Booklet
    COMMENCEMENT Class of 2018 MAY 26, 2018 10:00 AM UPPER LAWN Cañada College welcomes you—the Class of 2018—into the ranks of the proud alumni of Cañada College. We also welcome your families and friends to this 50th year celebration, mindful and appreciative of their contribution to your achievement through their support, sacrifice and encouragement. President’s Welcome Welcome to the 50th Commencement Ceremony at Cañada College! Today’s Commencement is a magnificent celebration of our students and the remarkable accomplishments and successes they have achieved. Our graduates, and their loved ones, joining in this celebration today will be hearing inspiring speeches about the bright, promising future that lies ahead for our graduates. Collectively, we share in the excitement of where the next journey may take them. Graduates are also encouraged at the time of Commencement to look back on their experiences – to reflect on what lessons they have learned, who influenced them, and how they have grown and changed. We know that this reflection is important. As students of Cañada College and of life, you’re neither at the beginning or the end of your journey. Instead, you’re somewhere in-between – in the middle you might say. You may not know what lies ahead and you can’t go back and relive the past; you’re simply in the moment. Sometimes it’s challenging to be in the moment; to fully inhabit, explore, and experience every moment – and to be open to what might present itself to you. While in the present moment, you might find that you can be more open to a different point of view; you might be able to quiet all the voices telling you what you should do; you might find the courage to make a difficult choice; you might find some unexpected joy.

THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN EMIGRATION MOVEMENT IN GEORGIA DURING RECONSTRUCTION by FALECHIONDRO KARCHEIK SIMS-ALVARADO Under the Direction of Hugh Hudson ABSTRACT This dissertation is a narrative history about nearly 800 newly freed black Georgians who sought freedom beyond the borders of the Unites States by emigrating to Liberia during the years of 1866 and 1868. This work fulfills three overarching goals. First, I demonstrate that during the wake of Reconstruction, newly freed persons’ interest in returning to Africa did not die with the Civil War. Second, I identify and analyze the motivations of blacks seeking autonomy in Africa. Third, I tell the stories and challenges of those black Georgians who chose emigration as the means to civil and political freedom in the face of white opposition. In understanding the motives of black Georgians who emigrated to Liberia, I analyze correspondence from black and white Georgians and the white leaders of the American Colonization Society and letters from Liberia settlers to black friends and families in the Unites States.
