  • What Are Connecticut College Alumni Doing Five Years After Graduation? a Study of the Class of 2013
    What Are Connecticut College Alumni Doing Five Years after Graduation? A Study of the Class of 2013 Wesley M. Morris ’20 and John D. Nugent Office of Institutional Research and Planning July 2018 SUMMARY We found reliable information about the employment and graduate school activities of about 87% of the Class of 2013. Five years after graduating from Connecticut College, about 96% of those for whom we found information were employed, in graduate school, or recent graduates of a degree program. Our students follow a variety of post-undergraduate pathways into jobs, fellowships, internships, degree programs, and non-degree coursework, and nearly half of the Class of 2013 has obtained some form of additional education. OVERVIEW Colleges and universities are now routinely expected to collect and report “outcomes” data on their graduates, primarily on employment, salaries, and graduate and professional school attendance.1 Collecting accurate data on a large portion of a graduated class is tricky, and there is currently no consensus on the best time or method for collecting the data. The National Association of Colleges and Employers has developed a voluntary “first destination” survey that they suggest administering six months following graduation,2 although that timeframe seems primarily aimed at answering the question of how many college graduates quickly secure employment and thus the ability to begin paying off student loans. While important, this is not the only outcome we should be interested in, particularly as an institution offering a liberal arts education, the fruits of which may take years to fully appear. Thus, a longer-term view that looks at graduates’ activities one or more years after graduation has been the approach taken by Connecticut College in our one-year-out and five-year-out studies.

  • Civic Engagement Study
    Civic Engagement at Skidmore A Survey of Students, Faculty, and Community Organizations Spring 2005 In the Fall of 2004, sociology professor David Karp and the students1 of Sociology 226 “Social Research Design” conducted a study of civic engagement at Skidmore College. Here we summarize our major findings. Civic Engagement at Skidmore College The president of Skidmore College is a member of Campus Compact, “a national coalition of more than 900 college and university presidents committed to the civic purposes of higher education. To support this civic mission, Campus Compact promotes community service that develops students' citizenship skills and values, encourages partnerships between campuses and communities, and assists faculty who seek to integrate public and community engagement into their teaching and research.” The new strategic plan for Skidmore, entitled “Engaged Liberal Learning: The Plan for Skidmore College: 2005-2015,” gives particular attention to civic engagement: “We will prepare every Skidmore student to make the choices required of an informed, responsible citizen at home and in the world.” Recently, the College received a grant from the Mellon Foundation to develop civic engagement as part of a larger effort to create “a more engaging and guided learning environment.” We define civic engagement as a multidimensional construct that includes the following: Volunteering: Student participation in community service that is not course-related. Service Learning: Experiential learning that links community service and academic coursework. Community Based Research: Research that involves students, faculty and community partners with the goal of solving community problems. SENCER: Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities. Interdisciplinary, problem-based courses that apply scientific investigation to contemporary problem solving, i.e., a course of AIDS.

    Rice Design Alliance Award Submission to the American Institute of Architects for Collaborative Achievement in Research, Dissemination, and Education 14 October 2011 On October 14, 2011, the Rice Design Alliance submitted an award submission to the American Institute of Architects for “Collaborative Achievement in Research, Dissemination, and Education.” Along with our organization’s “Biography,” a “Statement of Contributions,” and 15-pages of “Exhibits,” the RDA submission was nominated by Raymond Brochstein, FAIA with five support letters from John Kaliski, AIA, Nonya Grenader, FAIA, David Lake, FAIA, Jay Baker, FAIA, and Edward M. Baum, FAIA. Captured on the following page are a few quotes from these AIA colleagues and RDA supporters. SUBMISSION COMMITTEE Barbara Amelio, Kimberly Hickson, Lonnie Hoogeboom, Craig Minor, Suzy Minor, Danny Samuels, Carrie Glassman Shoemake STAFF Kathryn Fosdick, Raj Mankad, Katie Plocheck, Linda Sylvan “The Rice Design Alliance has been at the forefront of thinking about the future of the built environment and how cities and buildings must be sustainable. RDA has a regional reach beyond Houston, including Austin, Corpus Christi, Galveston and my town, San Antonio. RDA’s audience is not limited to design professionals. It is inclusive, open, and inviting. I have friends who are developers, lawyers, teachers, and artists who routinely attend their events because of the inspirational, informative content. RDA’s commitment to excellence and their success in expanding the audience elucidates how good design benefits all of us and the natural realm. “The Rice Design Alliance was conceived by David Crane who was Dean of the Rice University School of Architecture in 1972.

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

    RAFAEL MONEO MUSEUM OF ROMAN ART in Mérida (SPAIN) 1986 The construction of the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida coincided with the celebration of the bimillennium of the city in 1975. The Museum contains the museum the collections and the archaeological remains and ruins from the Roman city of Emerita Augusta excavated on the site where it was due to be located. From a figurative point of view, this is, without a doubt, one of Moneo's most traditional accomplishments. In it he creates an architectural language that reformulates the past in terms of techniques, meanings and contents without forgetting the present The architect Rafael Moneo designed two buildings which are separated by the remains of a Roman road and joined above by a solid elevated walkway. One of the buildings contains the museum and its storage rooms, and the other the restoration workshops, library, function room and offices. The first building has a main nave and various parallel and perpendicular cross galleries, illuminated by the midday sun and with elements (arches, buttresses) inspired by the Roman architecture of Mérida.

  • 3Turning the TIDES
    STEM ACTIVE LEARNING VIGNETTE SERIES Turning the TIDES HOW WRIGHT STATE AND THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON ARE TRANSFORMING TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS By Bilal Taylor, Senior Consultant, Equal Measure 3APRIL 2018 The Investment Since beginning active grantmaking in 2008, the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust has committed more than $1.5 billion dollars to nonprofits and other mission-aligned organizations in the United States and around the world. Although no longer a focus for the Trust, from 2008-2016 the Trust’s postsecondary education grantmaking focused on increasing the number of college graduates in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields — particularly female students and students of color. INTRODUCTION The Trust’s postsecondary grantmaking portfolio supported networks of higher education institutions committed to improving instructional practices, primarily for gateway STEM courses, and creating incentives to adopt model policies, practices, and systems that can help improve student retention and completion. Each network adopted one or more “active learning strategies,” evidence-based teaching and learning approaches that can improve students’ performance in STEM. While the Helmsley Charitable Trust’s investment has concluded, most of the networks continue to move forward with implementing these strategies. The Evaluation As the STEM Active Learning Networks evaluation and learning partner, Equal Measure is tracking the impact of the Helmsley Charitable Trust’s postsecondary grantmaking on faculty, departmental, and institutional change across networks. Since 2014, Equal Measure has examined the conditions that support progress at the institution, department, and classroom levels toward network goals. Using qualitative methods, we have documented the results of network efforts, including emerging outcomes at the institution, department, and educator levels.
