Coggins, Middlesex Community College THLE IS A COLLEGE: 13: Phillip D. T,,,7heaton We always claime-7:- that Middlesex .:7mmunity College wasborn in a coffee pct. That 7,ms ::-_-2ause when President Fred Lowe, the founding father of Middlesex's pa-r- It college, IviEl-lester CommunityCollege, came to Middletown to c 'le doors of tr new branch, he besought along a coffee pot, whiL:n EilL2 has permitted us torecall as the first physical asset of the c.11__ege. That, of course. -:as not quite so. The Middletown Board of Education had donated little white house for administrative purposes. Somebody put a sign out E-ront, and someone had gone to a tagsale and got a couple of old desi!;s and chairs. But, in the beginning, the coffee pot sitting alone on e '._--)are floor was the only itemof significance that we remember,.tha and the grass outside that needed mowing. There were nc pencils, typewrittrs, xerox machines. There was no paper, and there k e no books,form., files, catalogs, or regula- tions. There was no ±aculty, no studenrs, no registrar,admissions, not even a Dean or ar athletic director. As the song goes, we had plenty of nothing. 1:Dt even committees or demonstrations. We counted our blessings. In seconds. We were so insignificant that theFUllerbrushman who stopped at the door asked to see the lady of thehouse. 'This is a college?" he asked dumbfounded. There were those that wou!.', :rave answered that questionwith a resounding no. It was a. branch now and would be forever. Be satisfied with a branch, we were told grudgingly. The state can do without yet another college. It soon became apparent to me that there werethose who were thinking otherwise. The local founders, the townspeople, the Press, talked about the college from the beginning. In short order, the mailman began-Elivering letters addressed to thePresident, various Deans, Department Chairpeople of MiddlesexCommunity College when there was only my secretary and myself on board. We even got mail for the Middlesex Community College AlumniAssociation and we hadn't even opened our doors! Somebody leaked the word to the federal government about our existence, and soon we werereceiving requests for all kinds of information about our studentsand faculty and staff that we couldn't possible answer. Salesmen came to the door to sell 1 us scientific equipment and computers. People phoned us to speak to all and sundry just as if we were a college in full bloom. It was as;: to forget our branch status. And then there were students who wanted to go to the college. As we sat in our spartan surroundings, we wondered andEoubted. How could anyone enroll in a college that did not exist? Talk about faith. We prayed for twenty-five and got fifty. We projected seventy -fire and soon there were a hundred and fifty. We didn't know the reasons, but God, it was exciting! We first had a feeling that we were a col age when a group of students gathered in the little white house to decide on an appropriate occasion for openers. No offense to Manchester, it was apparent they wanted to open their own college. We had no facilities and no money, and so an out-door backyard picnic was planned. We had our doubts. Where would the food come from for maybe two hundred people, and how would you prepare it when the only piece of equipment you had was President Lowe's coffee pot? Talk about feeding the multitudes! All day long the food came. Hot dogs and hamburgers by the gross from stores. A huge roast from the Father of one of the new students. Casseroles and salads from homes. And chips, pickles, watermelon and cakes. By five o'clock of that great day, we had food for five hundred. So taken were we with all of this, we did not notice the gathering of dark clouds in the sky, and a summer cloudburst drenched the picnickers twenty minutes after the picnec had begun.

  • Nonverbal Communication and Restaurant Personnel
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Carleen Drago, for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Speech Communication, Speech Communication, and Education presented on June 5, 2007. Title: Nonverbal Communication and Restaurant Personnel Abstract approved: __________________________________________________________________ __ Dr. Celeste Walls Servers in a small college town were asked to take part in an interview to assess perceptions of their use of nonverbal communication, how they believe nonverbal communication affects tipping behavior, and whether or not they received formal training in nonverbal communication tactics. The study also links nonverbal communication with rapport in the service interaction. Results concluded that servers believe they use nonverbal communication in numerous ways, that nonverbal communication can have an affect on the customer’s tipping behavior, and lastly, that servers have received little to no formal nonverbal communication training. © Copyright by Carleen Drago June 5, 2007 All Rights Reserved Nonverbal Communication and Restaurant Personnel by Carleen Drago A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies Presented June 5, 2007 Commencement June 2008 Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies thesis of Carleen Drago, presented on June 5, 2007.

A qualitative intrinsic explanatory single case study with subunits research called for interviews with Unit Deployment Program Mangers to describe the current deployment cross-cultural education program that prepares service members for interpersonal interactions while serving abroad. Inductive Reasoning was used to determine data patterns from the information gained from interviews for coding and analysis purposes resulting in the development of themes for pattern discerning and explanatory inference for theoretical application. iv Dedication To my two children. Their joy and happiness has always encouraged and pushed me to do my best and to make the best of life and of any hardships that come my way.

  • Nonverbal Communication in Australia: an Ethnography
    Nonverbal Communication in Australia: An Ethnography An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Courtney Sheets Thesis Advisor Professor Richard Shoemaker Ball State University Muncie, Indiana August 2011 Expected Date of Graduation August 2011 d Sheets 1 AbsJrac;t Nonverbal communication plays a significant role in interactions each and every day. The use of nonverbal messages may vary among different cultures. After learning about intercultural communication and nonverbal communication codes and messages in college classrooms for four years, I applied my knowledge to real world experiences while studying abroad in Australia. Through the use of observations, field notes, and personal experiences, I have compiled an ethnography to describe what I've learned about the nonverbal communication codes that are part of the daily lives of Australians and those that visit the land down under. Sheets 2 Acknow.ledgements I would like to thank Professor Richard Shoemaker for advising me through this project. He provided guidance and reassurance when I needed it most. I look forward to continuing my education with Shoe as my mentor in the years to come. Thanks to the Avilas for making room in their family for 30 Ball State students while directing the Australia Centre. I would Sincerely like to thank Lyn Lockery, the most brilliant, kind, funny, genuine person I have ever met. He made my trip to Australia more wonderful and educational than I could have ever imagined. Thanks to Dave for giving the events management class a unique taste of the Australian lifestyle. I would like to thank Mick and Debbie for opening their home to 8 Americans who would have had nowhere else to stay for a night.
