  • URSA Scholars Week
    Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Achievement Baylor University presents URSA Scholars Week March 22 - March 26, 2010 Dear Colleagues: Welcome to Baylor’s Third Annual URSA Scholars’ Week! One of Baylor’s documented core strengths is a vital, transformative undergraduate classroom experience. Undergraduate research is a wonderful extension of that experience, providing students the opportunity to explore real world research / scholarship in partnership with their teachers. The presentations before you are the fruit of another core Baylor value – relationship. They represent a rare glimpse into the investment routinely made by Baylor faculty in their students, centered on individual mentoring and the sharing of research skills that can inform a lifetime of academic endeavor. I am grateful for your presence at URSA Scholars’ Day 2010. What has been said in previous years continues to be so: the best is yet to come. Sincerely, Truell W. Hyde, Ph.D. Vice Provost for Research Baylor Sciences Building Atrium March 22 and 25, 2010 • 12:00 – 2:00 Board 1 Sarah Garza, Senior, Environmental Science Jessi Carrothers, Senior, University Scholar/Pre-Medical Austin Cook-Lindsay, Senior, Environmental Science Faculty Mentor: Susan Bratton Title: Participation in Undergraduate Research a Key to Successful Applications for Fellowships, Research Assistantships and Graduate School Admissions Undergraduate research participation is a key component of medical school, graduate school and job applications. Senior authorship of publications is especially valuable for obtaining competitive graduate admissions, fellowships, and research assistantships. Research participation demonstrates competence in problem solving, ability to follow protocols and in professional writing and presentation. Faculty research mentors provide superior letters of reference as they are able to verify applicant characteristics, such as imagination, dependability, work ethic and academic integrity.

    THE FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE by MARGARET HIGGINS B.A., North Central College, 2006 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Counseling and Student Development College of Education KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Christy Craft Abstract Students have many opportunities to familiarize themselves with their college after committing to a school. Institutions offer summer orientation and enrollment sessions, and many also offer extended orientation sessions that may include spending time in the residence halls or outdoor camps and activities. Upon arrival to campus, first year students are given a great deal of information about campus resources, culture and traditions. They may also have welcome week activities, first year seminar classes, learning communities, specialized housing accommodations, and a wealth of other opportunities to connect to the university. The purpose of this report is to explore both the unique challenges facing first year students and the varying support structures in place for them. To explore this topic, the unique needs facing first-year, residential students as it relates to student development and transition theories will be outlined. Focusing on institutional concerns, persistence will also be explored as a theoretical framework. Finally, to make this report relevant to Kansas State University, the first year programming efforts at twelve institutions will be synthesized and analyzed as a foundation for comparison. A proposal for potential programs at K-State will be presented.

The Pulse 2016-2017 PRESIDENT Nicholas Coker CHIEF EDITOR Samantha Elmendorf EDITORIAL BOARD Jonah Hensley Isabel Kazan Cynthia Liu Kaylie Page Hannah Rogers Shannon Sandridge Hannah Vecseri Jesse Watters PUBLIC RELATIONS SECRETARY Amanda Cordero TECHNICAL DIRECTOR Stu Mair SECRETARY Tim Campbell FACULTY SPONSOR Dr. Jeff Hunt CONTENTS Reforming the Social Security System: A Proposal............................6 TIM CAMPBELL Entitlement reform is a pressing, if under-discussed, issue. According to one es- timate, if no reforms are implemented in the interim, Social Security beneficiaries will experience a 21 percent cut in benefits beginning in the year 2034. Such a dramatic cut would have severe consequences for retirees and others who depend on Social Security benefits for a considerable portion of their monthly income. This paper considers a number of potential reforms to the system, including raising the retirement age, eliminating the payroll tax cap, and altering the manner in which the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) is calculated. The final proposal incor- porates aspects of the latter two reforms: raising the payroll tax cap to cover 90 percent of earnings and basing the COLA calculation on the chained Consumer Price Index (CPI). Plantation Slavery in St. Domingue: A Revolutionary Society .... 19 ABBY HARRIS This paper argues that Theda Skocpol’s theory on social revolutions should be expanded to include societies other than agrarian bureaucracies. The Haitian Slave Revolt of 1791 is applied to a revised theory - one focused on the underlying ideas that prompted Skocpol’s thesis - in order to prove the validity of this paper’s argument.

  • Student Survey Policy” Below Is Adapted from One Used at Duke University, 4 Which Has an Unadvertised Practice of Limiting Student Surveying to 120 Minutes Per Year
    Baylor University – Coordination of Student Surveys A Proposal: Coordination of Student Surveys at Baylor University Prepared by: Michael Matier, Vice Provost for Institutional Effectiveness Jana Marak, Associate Director, Institutional Research & Testing Danielle Fearon, Senior Research & Planning Associate, Institutional Research & Testing Jie Zhang, Senior Research & Planning Associate, Institutional Research & Testing Jennifer Massey, Assistant Dean for Student Learning & Engagement, Student Life Endorsed by the University’s Executive Council: May 9, 2014 This document outlines a rationale and strategy for implementing an integrated panel of data collection processes across the “life cycle” of our students. Beginning in 2014-15, this comprehensive assessment framework will help us glean information about students’ motivations (plans), engagement (experiences), and reflections (satisfaction) which will better support institutional decision-making. This approach is one means of realizing the aspect of the Judicious Stewardship aspiration of Pro Futuris that Baylor will be characterized by “further integrating assessment into the decision-making processes of the university.” IE:mwm/jem/ddf/jz/jm Page 1 June 27, 2014 Baylor University – Coordination of Student Surveys Context Student-centered, data-driven decision-making has become embedded in the ethos of Baylor University. One of the means of supporting this ethos is a commitment to soliciting input from its students in a manner that enables the institution’s decision-makers to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of our curricular and co-curricular programs. As part of this commitment to continuous improvement we rely, in part, on what we learn from our students to better understand educational outcomes throughout students’ personal and intellectual journey through the university, to examine the learning environments that support those outcomes, and to gauge the degree to which students avail themselves of the resources at their disposal during their tenure on campus.
