International Student Management Office Fellows Handbook NATIONAL DEFENSE UNIVERSITY International Student Management Office Fellows Handbook (Revised November 2020) Suspected CUI//SP‐PII Suspected CUI//SP‐PII Dear Fellows: We will soon welcome you to Washington DC, capital of the United States of America. This beautiful city is the core of American government, and it serves as a world-renowned educational center as well as a diverse cultural hub. The staff at the International Student Management Office (ISMO) encourages you to enjoy your stay here as you experience politics, history, science, sports, art, and more. Fort Lesley J. McNair, home of the National Defense University (NDU), is ideally situated in the heart of Washington, DC, for you to experience all of these things. This handbook is designed to ease your transition into the NDU educational program for which you were personally selected. We have provided important information about housing, transportation, identification documents, and basic living needs. Please read it thoroughly. Unfortunately, no handbook can contain all of the information that you will need, but you can talk to the staff, consult local directories, or use the internet to find any other information that you may need. Almost any question you may have about NDU that is not covered by the handbook can be found at www.ndu.edu. Information specifically about ISMO can be accessed at ismo.ndu.edu. The most rewarding source of information about the DC metro area, and about America in general, is the population that surrounds you. Get to know your fellow students and neighbors, make acquaintances, and share experiences. They can give you suggestions about how to make the most of your experience in the USA. We encourage you to explore DC for yourself. It is our hope that you will leave America with an appreciation for its tremendous strengths and an understanding of its shortcomings.

    MAXIMIZING COMMUNITY-BASED DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES: THE CASE OF RALEIGH’S DOWNTOWN SOUTH PROPOSAL Caylin Bullock A capstone thesis paper submitted to the Faculty Director of the Urban & Regional Planning Program at Georgetown University’s School of Continuing Studies in fulfillment of the requirements for Masters of Professional Studies in Urban & Regional Planning. Project Advisor: Michael Stevens, AICP Academic Advisor: Uwe S. Brandes © Copyright 2019 by Caylin Bullock All Rights Reserved 1 ABSTRACT This paper explores a proposed large mixed-use development project in Raleigh, North Carolina as a case study to identify potential linkages between privately conceived urban development, community benefits, and the corresponding roles played by the private sector, municipalities and community stakeholders. Following a literature review and review of case study precedent practices, research was conducted through unstructured interviews with public and private stakeholders in Raleigh and analysis of project-based scenarios. This paper argues that when receiving proposals, cities must embrace partnerships to maximize positive community-based development outcomes. KEYWORDS Community Benefit Agreement (CBA), Equitable Development, Development Agreement, Public-Private Partnerships, Stadium Development, Raleigh, North Carolina RESEARCH QUESTIONS What are national best practices in the finance and development of large-scale mixed-use urban development projects comparable to the Downtown South proposal? In the case of Raleigh, how might the municipality more aggressively position its actions to ensure long-term equitable development outcomes for historically underserved community stakeholders in close proximity to the project? How might Raleigh institutionalize a project-based agreement as a binding and durable governance structure for future development projects? 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES .........................................................................................................................

TABLE OF CONTENTS Page SUMMARY i CHAPTER 1: Introduction 1 CHAPTER 2: Description of Alternatives 3 2.1 Adopted Graduated-Fare Collection System 3 2.2 Alternative Flat-Fare Collection System 6 CHAPTER 3: Evaluation of Alternatives 11 3.1 Capital Cost 11 3.2 Annual Operating and Maintenance Cost 15 3.3 System Reliability and Patron Convenience 18 3.4 Administrative Requirements 21 3.5 Ridership and Revenue 22 3.6 Fare Equity 26 CHAPTER 4: Conclusions 33 . StIIVINARY This report presents an analysis of the feasibility of instituting a flat-fare collection system for the Metro Rail line. Both the adopted graduated-fare collec- tion system and the alternative flat-fare system are described. The alternatives are then evaluated in terms of capital cost; annual O&1V1 cost; system reliability; passenger convenience; administrative requirements; ridership and revenue; and fare equity. The results of the analysis indicate several important conclusions. Relative to the graduated-fare system, a flat-fare system would result in capital cost savings of 47 percent and O&M cost savings of 18 percent. The flat- fare system would also be significantly more reliable, provide greater convenience to the patron, and enjoy slightly reduced administrative requirements. Moreover, the flat-fare system produces greater revenues: $2.0 million additional Metro Rail revenues and $17.7 million additional total SCRTD (bus and rail) revenues. Counterbalancing these advantages, however, is the fact that the flat-fare system is less equitable than the graduated-fare system.

MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.
