Indeed, it has thrived as the oldest private college in Florida because of its capacity to respond to the needs of students and the communities where they will serve. Florida Southern has always seen a holistic educational experience as the best way to meet these needs, and its commitment to fostering students’ intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth contin- ues in this new global century. At the heart of the educational experience is Florida Southern’s distinctive synthesis of liberal and professional learning, which is delivered through an engaged learning model that is widely recognized as one of the best in the country. The core academic experience is complemented by an extensive study abroad program, by exceptional co-curricular and service opportunities, and by vibrant religious life and artistic offerings—all of which are designed to help you connect what you are learning in the classroom with the world outside of it. The mission of Florida Southern is to empower students to make a positive and consequential impact on the world, and we know that the holistic, integrated experience that we provide can prepare you to do just that. The outstanding achievements of our alumni offer living proof. Florida Southern’s faculty and other educators on campus will be expert guides on your educa- tional journey, but ultimately, it will be up to you to make the most of your time here. This cat- alog will help you get started and serve as a “field manual” throughout your journey, so whether you are a first-year undergraduate or a student in one of our graduate programs, I encourage you to use this catalog to help chart your unique path to success. I wish you all the best in your studies.

The mission also includes pre- serving the world-renowned Frank Lloyd Wright campus and visitor program. College Vision Florida Southern College will achieve national recognition for providing a transformational education for students through its distinctive synthesis of liberal arts and professional programs and focus on student development through co-curricular and service learning programs. It will become a national model for engaged learning in order to achieve the learning outcomes stu- dents need to thrive in a global society. As a result of its pragmatic approach to liberal learning, the global perspective of its academic programs, effective engaged learning pedagogy, and dis- tinctive learning outcomes in all disciplines, Florida Southern will ascend to the top 25 colleges/ universities in its Carnegie classification. Maintaining its affiliation with the United Methodist Church, Florida Southern will serve as the preeminent mid-sized institution within the denom- ination, always striving to foster students’ spiritual growth. Also, preserving the campus’ iconic and significant historical Frank Lloyd Wright structures that serve as a “living museum” to accom- modate the living-learning programs of the College, and promotion of education programs to perpetuate the legacy of America’s greatest architect, is included in the vision. Florida Southern History at a Glance Florida Southern College—the oldest private college in the state—traces its Florida roots to 1852, when the Methodist Conference founded Florida Seminary in Micanopy. The Conference established South Florida Seminary in Orlando in 1883. In 1885, the school moved to Leesburg, the college degree was awarded, and Florida Conference College was officially chartered and opened to both male and female students. In 1901, the growing college moved to Sutherland (now Palm Harbor) on the Gulf Coast and in 1906 was renamed Southern College. The College remained at Sutherland until fires in the early 1920s forced the school temporarily to move to Clearwater Beach. In 1922, the College moved to the shores of Lake Hollingsworth in Lakeland. In 1935, the trustees adopted Florida Southern College

  • The Effect of Loans on Time to Doctorate Degree: Differences by Race/Ethnicity, Field of Study, and Institutional Characteristics
    Dongbin Kim Cindy Otts The Effect of Loans on Time to Doctorate Degree: Differences by Race/Ethnicity, Field of Study, and Institutional Characteristics Introduction Graduate schools prepare students not only for fu- ture careers in academia, but also for leadership positions in govern- ment, business, non-profit organizations, and other industries. Given the likelihood of doctoral degree recipients being active in research or lead- ership positions, they may have considerable opportunity to influence public policy. In a global, knowledge-driven economy, the need for a highly educated workforce is vital to maintaining the nation’s status and economy. Doctoral-granting institutions, therefore, play an important role in educating academicians and professionals alike who can take the lead in this highly interdependent world. Unfortunately, the nation’s graduate schools fail to fully educate many students who enter doctoral programs because the programs are plagued by high attrition rates. This material is based upon work supported by the Association for Institutional Re- search, the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Science Foundation, and the National Postsecondary Education Cooperative under Association for Institu- tional Research Grant Number 223. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recom- mendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Association for Institutional Research, the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Science Foundation, or the National Postsecondary Education Cooperative.

To Wright, this material was a highly expressive, decorative, and practical approach to create monumental yet affordable buildings. Indeed, some of his most iconic structures, including the Ennis House in Los Angeles, utilized the textile block system. However, like so many of Wright’s experiments with materials and engineering, textile block has posed major challenges to generations of building owners, architects, and conservators who have struggled with the system’s material and structural performance.

Introduction The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) was started in 1933 as one of the New Deal make-work programs, to employ jobless architects, draftspeople, and photographers. Its purpose is to document the nation’s architectural heritage, especially those buildings that are in danger of ruin or deliberate destruction. Today, the HABS is part of the National Park Service and its repository is in the Library of Congress, much of which is available online at loc.gov. Of the tens of thousands HABS buildings, I found 44 Frank Lloyd Wright designs that have been digitized. Each HABS survey includes photographs and/or drawings and/or a report. I’ve included here what the Library of Congress had–sometimes all three, sometimes two of the three, and sometimes just one. There might be a single photo or drawing, or, such as in the case of Florida Southern College (in volume two), over a hundred.

Firpo ii ABSTRACT The Orlando Metropolitan Statistical Area became the fastest growing Puerto Rican population since 1980.1 While the literature has grown regarding Orlando‘s Puerto Rican community, no works deeply analyze the push and pull factors that led to the mass migration of Puerto Ricans to Central Florida. In fact, it was the combination of deteriorating economies in both Puerto Rico and New York City (the two largest concentrations of Puerto Ricans in the United States) and the rise of employment opportunities and cheap cost of living in Central Florida that attract Puerto Ricans from the island the diaspora to the region.

Berson 2 To Mom and Dad Now you can finally tell everyone that your son is a doctor. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my entire committee for their thoughtful comments, critiques, and overall consideration. The chair, Dr. Jack E. Davis, has earned my unending gratitude both for his patience and for putting me—and keeping me—on track toward a final product of which I can be proud. Many members of the faculty of the Department of History were very supportive throughout my time at the University of Florida. Also, this would have been a far less rewarding experience were it not for many of my colleagues and classmates in the graduate program. I also am indebted to the outstanding administrative staff of the Department of History for their tireless efforts in keeping me enrolled and on track. I thank all involved for the opportunity and for the ongoing support. The Ray and Mitchum families, the Cheatoms, Jim Buckner, David Cook, and Tim Hollis all graciously gave of their time and hospitality to help me with this work, as did the DeBary family at the Marion County Museum of History and Scott Mitchell at the Silver River Museum and Environmental Center.

    FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE OUTHERNNEWS S VOLUME 64 FALL 2019 A letter from the president With great excitement, we began our new academic year in August, welcoming 3,558 new and returning students to campus. The highly talented Class of 2023 arrived here from 37 states and the territory of Puerto Rico, and from 18 countries. This edition of Southernnews highlights exciting changes that have been taking place at FSC, including the introduction of several high-profile academic programs, recently completed and ongoing construction projects, faculty promotions, student honors, and alumni profiles. The start of the fall semester saw the launch of our much-anticipated Doctor of Physical Therapy program in its distinctively designed new home, the Campisi Academic Center for Physical Therapy. This state-of-the-art facility eectively brings unique aspects of FSC’s renowned architectural heritage to Lakeland’s Dixieland Historic District on South Florida Avenue. As part of the program’s curriculum, students will be performing clinical rotations locally and around the country, and will join faculty members in providing pro bono services through outreach eorts to underserved populations in our community. In these pages, you’ll also find an update about plans for another architecturally significant structure that will accommodate a major expansion of our computer science program, the Carole and Marcus Weinstein Computer Sciences Center, beginning to take shape in a prime spot overlooking Lake Hollingsworth.
