  • 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.

  • 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.

This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi:10.1017/bjt.2017.6 First published online 24 April 2017 Colonizing elephants: animal agency, undead capital and imperial science in British Burma JONATHAN SAHA* Abstract. Elephants were vital agents of empire. In British Burma their unique abilities made them essential workers in the colony’s booming teak industry. Their labour was integral to the commercial exploitation of the country’s vast forests. They helped to fell the trees, transport the logs and load the timber onto ships. As a result of their utility, capturing and caring for them was of utmost importance to timber firms. Elephants became a peculiar form of capital that required particular expertise. To address this need for knowledge, imperial researchers deepened their scientific understanding of the Asian elephant by studying working elephants in Burma’s jungle camps and timber yards. The resulting knowledge was contingent upon the conscripted and constrained agency of working elephants, and was conditioned by the asymmetrical power relationships of colonial rule. Animal agency Writing in the interwar years about his life working in the timber industry of colonial Burma during the late nineteenth century, John Nisbet recalled how Mounggyi, having been one of the best-natured and tamest elephants he had known, became unmanageable due to a bout of musth.

This edition includes information on 725 elephants, 78 more than the last edition which was published in 2007. 13 of these animals were captive born. The remaining 65 additional elephants were added because we received historical animal records that validated their existence. Of the 725 elephants in the Studbook, 269 (53.216) are living and 145 (31.114) are currently housed in AZA facilities. The “Lost To Follow Up” section lists 9 male and 60 female elephants whose current location is unknown to us. The “Undocumented” section lists 31 male and 203 female elephants that we believe are individuals who existed in North America at one time, however, we lack any official supporting documentation to give them official studbook numbers. There is a chance that some of these elephants already have studbook numbers under different house names, it is also likely that some of the undocumented elephants are duplicates of one another. It is important that we have appropriate supporting documentation to avoid assigning more than one studbook number to the same elephant.
