Lafayette College: Staying Ahead of the Game Vol. 15 LAFAYETTE COLLEGE: STAYING AHEAD OF THE GAME Lafayette College’s football history is as rich as it is varied, from laying claim to the the first use of the helmet in 1896, to the long standing rivalry with nearby Lehigh University dating back to 1884. But these days, it is the Leopards’ future that has taken on even greater importance. With the opening of the Bourger Varsity Football House, Lafayette’s team has entered into a league all its own. The 24,000 square-foot building, part of a $23 million stadium renovation, contains the team’s locker room, strength and conditioning areas, and sports medicine facilities, including a hydrother- apy room. The upper level houses coaches’ offices, each with a flat screen display for reviewing games, several meeting rooms equipped with custom control systems and full presentation capabilities, and one room large enough to accommodate the entire team. That area, which can also be divided into four separate units, features the same level of class- room technology found across the campus. “The experience we have with our smart classroom tech- nology allowed us to easily adapt to this rather unique setting with great results, ” stated E.J. Hudock, Academic Technology Facilities Manager for Lafayette. One of the very special features of the Bourger Varsity Football House is the highly personalized conference room on the second floor. The program- ming team at Vistacom worked with Lafayette to develop special graphic elements for the control system interface such as helmets for source buttons and a log in system utilizing the jersey numbers which are displayed on top of a Leopard’s jersey graphic. Another personalization was the addition of a voice in the conference room. “ Once the coach has logged into the system, depending on the time of day and who has logged in, the system will greet them,” stated Mark Ripley, programmer at Vistacom. “If it is morning, the system would say ‘Good morning, Coach Tavani . System powering on’ . It really added that extra ‘wow factor’ to the room.” “This facility, as a whole, is just one of a kind,” stated Phil Hallahan, Assistant Football Coach at Lafay- ette. “We have recruits come here and their jaws just drop. A student said ‘I’ve been to LSU and Flor- ida State and this just blows them away’ . You know you did something right when you hear that.” The future looks very bright for the Lafayette Leopards. “This is just an amazing building,” stated Hallahan. “We’re ready for kickoff.” GREEN: THE COLOR OF VTC In business, going green is more than a marketing slogan: it’s the new way of doing things. It’s an edge -- a method by which you can improve your company’s bottom line while acting responsibly toward your customers, employees, and the environment. The way we get together to work has a tremendous impact on energy use. Eff ective energy conservation includes reductions in travel through teleconferencing, on-line/on-site training, and work-at-home options. In addition, there is a move toward making conferences and meetings we do hold, more energy-aware. During World War II, offi ces and alleyways were plastered with posters urging resource conservation. One of the most common was, “Is this trip really necessary?” The slogan still applies today, particularly in view of broadband network connections and powerful real-time instant messaging and teleconferencing tools. With fuel prices up and travel more expensive than in previous years, it makes sense to replace trips and conventions with electronic events. Technology advances such as high-speed internet, VoIP, and collaboration tools such as e-mail, instant messenging, and Web and video-conferencing, make it possible for an employee to stay connected without physically being in an offi ce. Below are the three latest off erings from TANDBERG and Polycom that might get you thinking GREEN: TANDBERG See&ShareTM: Firewall-friendly data conferencing An optional feature of TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS), TANDBERG See&Share is a secure, easy-to-use data conferencing solution that al- lows meeting participants to: • Connect eff ortlessly and quickly • Share their desktops and presentations instantly • Collaborate on their desktop • Annotate and write over applications • Include participants from any remote location • Keep their data secure • Highlight parts of their desktop • Show snapshot of ongoing video call Polycom HDX 4000™ Multimedia comes alive on your desktop.

Scholarly communications and the role of the liberal arts college library By Diane J. Graves University Librarian and Professor Trinity University, San Antonio TX1 A little economic history The conversation on scholarly communication (often referred to as a “crisis”) has its origins in the mid- 1980s. At that time, the balance of trade between the United States and its trading partners in Europe was so far out of balance that American products could not compete internationally. The Reagan Administration, seeking to correct the problem, devalued the dollar at the so-called Plaza Accord on September 22, 1985.i In that moment, the price of journals in many Scientific, Technical, Engineering and Medical (STEM) fields, jumped—in some cases by as much as 25%. Many of the top journals were published by British or European for-profit houses, such as Pergamon, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Blackwell’s, Taylor & Francis, and others.

These are certainly valid and important numbers to showcase the number of STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS 2012 - 2017 DIRECTIONS 2012 STRATEGIC outputs of an organization. However, libraries are selling themselves short by so simply describing what we do with these arbitrary numbers. The true value of a library is in the moments where it can change a person’s life.

However, these other moments of transformation are often overlooked or forgotten – sometimes because a person is not physically in a library, but instead accessing library-provided materials online when they experience inspiration or a change in thinking.

    Trinity College Trinity College Digital Repository Senior Theses and Projects Student Scholarship Spring 2018 Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education Nate Choukas Trinity College, Hartford Connecticut, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses Part of the Econometrics Commons Recommended Citation Choukas, Nate, "Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education". Senior Theses, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 2018. Trinity College Digital Repository, https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/710 Running Head: ESTIMATING RETURN ON COLLEGE EDUCATION Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education Nathaniel R. Choukas Trinity College ESTIMATING RETURN ON COLLEGE EDUCATION 2 Abstract Since the 1980s, the college wage-premium in the United States has reached all time highs. As a result, college education is a critical benchmark in securing high paying jobs. While the bachelor’s degree serves as a gateway into more lucrative careers, postsecondary education can be very costly, with some taking on substantial amounts of debt to finance their schooling. Despite the increasing wage-premium, there is an even wider earnings disparity amongst college graduates than between graduates and non-graduates. Research on higher education returns suggests that most individuals – even those ranked as having low ability – benefit financially from their investment in education. At the institutional level; however, some schools produce median returns on investment that are well below zero. This begs the question, why are a considerable number of the nation’s higher education institutions underserving their students? I use OLS to test the hypothesis that schools in rural settings displaced from major cities, and with religious affiliation will be critical variables in explaining college return on investment.

  • IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT 2 Haverford College
    Image description. Cover Image End of image description. What Is IPEDS? The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components that collects data from all institutions that provide postsecondary education and are eligible to receive Title IV funding across the United States and other U.S. jurisdictions. These data are used at the federal and state level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by students and parents, through the College Navigator (https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/), an online tool to aid in the college search process. Additional information about IPEDS can be found on the website at https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds. What Is the Purpose of This Report? The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide institutions a context for examining the data they submitted to IPEDS. The purpose of this report is to provide institutional executives a useful resource and to help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data. What Is in This Report? The figures in this report provide a selection of indicators for your institution to compare with a group of similar institutions. The figures draw from the data collected during the 2019-20 IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. The inside cover of this report lists the pre-selected comparison group of institutions and the criteria used for their selection. The Methodological Notes at the end of the report describe additional information about these indicators and the pre-selected comparison group. Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data? Each institution can access previously released Data Feedback Reports from 2005 and customize this 2020 report by using a different comparison group and IPEDS variables of its choosing.
