ABSTRACT ATHLETIC AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATIONAL PROFILES OF VARSITY STUDENT-ATHLETES ='>?+8)@+0'8&'+") Athletic success sometimes may involve participants to work hard, be self- disciplined, exhibit perseverance and determination, and be able to concentrate. If such qualities are transferred into the academic domain, students may also experience academic motivation and success. Many varsity student-athletes are lacking motivation and hard work in the classroom but excel in these categories on the athletic fields. This study of the student-athlete and their motivational levels both in and out of the classroom will provide educators, coaches, and administrators with the knowledge about how to create a positive academic learning environment for its student athletes. The self- expectancy theory by Atkinson, Wigfield, and Eccles (2000) relates motivational levels to expectancies set by individuals.

This study examines how athletics influences academic motivation of high school varsity athletes. This phenomenological study analyzes the experiences of five high school varsity student-athletes in the classroom and on the athletic field. The sample was randomly selected participants who were currently participating in competitive varsity athletics at Corbin High School. Qualitative data was triangulated through interviews, ! observation, and artifact collection. The findings from this study can guide teachers, coaches, and administrators to know how to best motivate students in suburban schools where there is a high priority placed on athletics. Increased levels of motivation can in turn lead to higher levels of academic achievement increasing student performance. Keywords: academic motivation, athletic identity, athletic motivation, student-athlete ! ! ! ! DEDICATION For my three sons Connor, Landon, & Baby Boy due in December. May you always find your inner champion with clear eyes and full heart. ! ) ""! ACKNOWLEDGMENT I would like to acknowledge everyone who played a role in my academic accomplishments. First of all, my family, who supported me with love and understanding. Without you, I could never have reached this current level of success. For the countless hours of babysitting my boys while I completed all phases of this program, I thank you. Secondly, my committee members, each of whom has provided advice and guidance throughout the research process. Especially my mentor, Dr. Stephen Kotok, for believing in my ability to complete this dissertation. Your support, guidance, and feedback have been invaluable. Thank you for not giving up on me. For all the teachers I have had the opportunity of knowing and learning from throughout this program. Thank you for your knowledge and skills that have taught me great lessons in the importance of research, literature, and data collection. The lessons I have learned will forever impact the professional that I continue to aspire to be. Lastly, to my fellow classmates, teachers, and friends in education together we have proven to be unstoppable. Our ability to motivate one another and all the students that we work with is sure to make a difference in the world. ! ! """!

Women have not only accessed and embraced higher education, but they perform exceptionally well in their chosen fields. They enter many different professions and careers, and they balance home and work – so one might ask what challenges remain? As I write I am preparing to address that question when I deliver a special Tanner Lecture at Ochanomizu University. The women’s university in Tokyo can trace its roots back to 1875 – just four years after Newnham began as a house for five students in Regent Street. Presented annually, the Tanner Lectures aim to advance and reflect upon the scholarly and scientific learning related to human values.

  • 6Th February 2020 Dear Newnham US Committee, I Am Applying to the Newnham US Committee's Travel Bursary to Fund My Travel
    6th February 2020 Dear Newnham US Committee, I am applying to the Newnham US Committee’s Travel Bursary to fund my travel and living costs for an internship in the Executive Director’s Office of UN Women in New York City. I will be graduating from Newnham this June having studied Politics and Sociology in the Human, Social and Political Science Tripos. I am thrilled at the prospect of commencing my professional career in an organisation dedicated to the empowerment of women and girls worldwide, however, this internship is currently unmanageable given my financial circumstances. As such, I would be so grateful to the Newnham US Committee for making this invaluable opportunity possible. Interning at UN Women I firmly believe in the principles upon which UN Women is premised. This year I have been part of the founding committee ​ for the Cambridge chapter of the new UN Women UK University Champions Network, a network of young leaders seeking to promote UN Women campaigns and values across British universities. As an intern, I will be working directly under Alison Rowe, Senior Senior Communications Advisor and Speechwriter to the Executive Director of UN Women, who is herself a Newnham Alumna. Previous interns have been given tasks such as summarising dossiers, researching and writing reports and planning events. For example, one intern co-authored a discussion paper on trafficking and sexual exploitation. Another was tasked with the project of researching how to make the Sustainable Development Goals appeal to young people. To achieve this, they undertook a series of interviews and focus groups and used the findings of these to produce a ‘toolkit’ of materials.

    CONVOCATION 1922 Thirty-three Edwin P. Pitman PRESIDENT Thirty-four THE TALE OF '23 ''Shine out fair sun, till I have bought a glass That I may see my shadow as I pass" ALLAH AKHBAR! Allah Akhbar! Ya allah illah allah! Ye of the faith of Delaware draw near! Emirs, pashas, and beys, even the fallen members of the lower classes, give ears to the tale of '23, that in these days of your college life ye may know the ways of the mighty— that in your last years ye, too, may be truly great! Upon receiving the order of the Editoritus of the great Delaware "Blue Hen", the Keeper of Records of '23 salaamed thrice, sate, lighted his pipe, and spoke in these words:— "0, good Caliph, thy will be done! I speak! " 'Twas about the middle of September, 1919, when we entered Delaware. In our midst were many men who had but recently put away the uniforms which they had worn in the service of their country during the World War. It was this type of men that instilled in our class a spirit in the first days of our college careers.
