In return, this activity can produce a feeling of self-worth and respect. There is no financial gain involved for the individual.” It has been my good fortune to travel extensively in this world. I have managed to visit or live in more than 40 countries, and I have been struck by the fact that volunteerism is far less prevalent as a cultural norm outside the United States. I am sure that this is because the citizenry in those countries look to their govern- ments to provide essential services. In the United States charitable groups staffed with volunteers provide many of these services. The founding of our nation was greatly enhanced through the use of a volunteer army and navy against a British military conscripted into service or mercenaries paid to fight. It is true that our volunteers President John F. Van Domelen at AZ Veteran Certification Ceremony, 2014 Certification Ceremony, Domelen at AZ Veteran Van John F. President were eventually paid, but pay was secondary to the belief that they were serving a cause important to their family, their friends, and, ultimately, their greater community and future nation. In the last century this sense of serving a greater cause led thousands to volunteer for the Peace Corps. Again, there is compensation for members of the Corps, but at a very modest level. We are fortunate that we are a nation of volunteers and givers. It has enriched the lives of many of our citizens who receive services and goods they may otherwise not have been able to aspire to (through no fault of their own). I truly believe the benefits of giving work in both directions; that those who have volunteered or given of their wealth have had their lives enriched by being involved citizens and making a difference in the world around them. I volunteered for military service long before there was a draft in force. After leaving active service I volunteered in the Vermont Air Guard. Yes, I was compensated for both activities, but at a far lower Prescott College Volunteer Board Members Walt Anderson Dan Boyce Roxann Gallagher Faculty Trustee Financial Planner, Attorney, Center for Financial Sacks Tierney, P.A.

I volunteered for the Prescott College Board of Trustees because Thank you, a good friend, Dan Garvey, said he needed me, and when the President left during the middle of last academic year, I agreed to serve as president until a replacement could be found because I knew the institution needed me.

It is the largest charitable contribution I have ever made to an organization and the one that has brought me the greatest satisfaction of any volunteer effort I have ever undertaken.

    Arizona 2010 - 2011 Meeting community needs in Arizona. More than 15,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through national service in Arizona. Serving with more than 360 national and local nonprofits, schools, faith-based organizations and other groups, these citizens tutor and mentor children, support veterans and military families, provide health services, restore the environment, respond to disasters, increase economic opportunity, and recruit and manage volunteers. This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) will commit more than $19,100,000 to support Arizona communities through national service initiatives including: Senior Corps: More than 1,800 seniors in Arizona contribute their time and talents in one of three Senior Corps programs. Foster Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and mentors to more than 700 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 630 homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols for local police departments, protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond to natural disasters, and provide other services through more than 270 groups across Arizona. AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 2,100 individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, health, economic, and other pressing needs in communities across Arizona. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governor-appointed Arizona Governor's Commission on Service and Volunteerism, which in turn awards grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the remainder of the grant funding is distributed by CNCS directly to multi-state and national organizations through a competitive grants process.

  • Facadmin-1969-1979.Pdf
    ED BRANSON MEMORIES OF MY YEARS AT YAVAPAI COLLEGE I was teaching at Redlands High School and attending Claremont Graduate School in Claremont, California. I completed my Masters degree at the end of 1969. I was accepted to teach in Riverside, California at California Baptist College (now a University). The pay was much less than I was receiving at the High School. I couldn’t make the switch financially without another job to go along with it. I was not able to find a combination of jobs that could go along with the College. Meanwhile I was visiting my parents who had retired to Cottonwood, Arizona. My cousin Joe Harrison had written me that Prescott was in the process of starting a Community College. He was owner/operator of the Rasco store in Prescott. The Community College District was set up in 1966. The college president was hired in 1967 and the administration was hired in 1968. The administration was housed in the office building across from Joe Harrison’s store and the administrators purchased office supplies from Rasco. My cousin Joe was well acquainted with each of the administrators and set up an appointment for me to have an interview with Dr. Ray Cleveland, Dean of Instruction. I stopped in for the appointment while on my way to visit my parents in Cottonwood. We had a great visit. He told me that they were considering hiring a lady who was to graduate from Arizona State University. I figured it wasn’t to be for me to come to Prescott.

  • 3/1/2011 Appendix 1 Integration of Prescott College Undergraduate
    Appendix 1 Integration of Prescott College Undergraduate Programs: Model One Curricular Elements Nomenclature: Prescott College serves its undergraduate students with two delivery models. The campus-based delivery model is designed for students seeking a learning experience built primarily around instructor facilitated courses, both in the classroom and in field experiences. The limited residency delivery model is designed for students seeking to complete a bachelor’s degree with community-based mentored independent study supplemented by online coursework. Admissions: Because the different delivery models are designed to serve different students and have different expenses, there are separate admissions processes and tuition rates for both; students are admitted to enroll in coursework specific to that delivery model. Qualifying students can request, however, to transfer between delivery models for a one term exchange. Criteria for such exchanges are determined by faculty. A cross-college faculty committee reviews exchange applications. Students wishing to move permanently from one delivery model to the other must go through the appropriate admissions process. Faculty Work: Undergraduate faculty have a primary association with one or the other delivery model, but are able to teach and serve students in the other delivery model. Due to the distinctiveness of the needs of students in the different delivery models, however, not all faculty will want to or be well suited to mixing their workload. While faculty need to meet within the delivery models to handle curriculum planning and administrative issues, there also need to be cross-college curricular groups meeting for the purposes of consistency of outcomes and planning program improvement. Consistency of Outcomes Across the Delivery Models: One set of learning targets is used to assess the effectiveness of undergraduate instruction, across the institution.
