COMMENCEMENT 2020 1 Dear Graduates, Today we celebrate you, our newest graduates, in a way that we’ve never done before, and in a way that I think no one would have forecast at the start of this academic year. We eagerly look to the day when we can be together again to honor the Class of 2020 and your many achieve- ments. But the conferring of degrees for our graduates is not to be delayed—it is an important recognition of these years of immersion and discovery, of diligence and break- throughs, that we acknowledge today and celebrate with your family and friends. I hope every one of you feels the enthusiastic recogni- tion of the UVM community, and of your loved ones and friends, for all of your hard work and impressive accom- plishments leading up to this day. Not every graduating class enters the world beyond university in such a historic moment. But this is your moment, and we celebrate you now, not only for your achievements, but also for the focus and fortitude that has brought you to this threshold. Every one of you can add the character qualities of adaptability and resilience to your resumes—you have shown that you have what it takes to finish strong in the face of the unexpected. Those qualities will take you far in life and will help shape your path ahead. Wherever that path takes you, we know you will make your alma mater proud! With all my best wishes, Suresh Garimella President, University of Vermont 2 COMMENCEMENT 2020 The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College BOARD OF TRUSTEES SENIOR OFFICERS OF ADMINISTRATION Ron E.

  • The Value of Books
    The Value of Books: The York Minster Library as a social arena for commodity exchange. Master’s thesis, 60 credits, Spring 2018 Author: Luke Kelly Supervisor: Gudrun Andersson Seminar chair: Dag Lindström Date: 12/01/2018 HISTORISKA INSTITUTIONEN It would be the height of ignorance, and a great irony, if within a work focused on the donations of books, that the author fails to acknowledge and thank those who assisted in its production. Having been distant from both Uppsala and close friends whilst writing this thesis, (and missing dearly the chances to talk to others in person), it goes without saying that this work would not be possible if I had not had the support of many generous and wonderful people. Although to attempt to thank all those who assisted would, I am sure, fail to acknowledge everyone, a few names should be highlighted: Firstly, thank you to all of my fellow EMS students – the time spent in conversation over coffees shaped more of this thesis than you would ever realise. Secondly, to Steven Newman and all in the York Minster Library – without your direction and encouragement I would have failed to start, let alone finish, this thesis. Thirdly, to all members of History Node, especially Mikael Alm – the continued enthusiasm felt from you all reaches further than you know. Fourthly, to my family and closest – thank you for supporting (and proof reading, Maja Drakenberg) me throughout this process. Any success of the work can be attributed to your assistance. Finally, to Gudrun Andersson – thank you for offering guidance and support throughout this thesis’ production.

  • Public Higher Education in Vermont Maximizing the State’S Investment
    Public Higher Education in Vermont Maximizing the State’s Investment Report of the Governor’s Task Force on Higher Education November 15, 2009 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS The Task Force and Its Charge 3 Executive Summary 5 History of Public Education in Vermont 7 Recommendations 12 Continuum of Education 15 Areas of Possible Future Collaboration 18 Conclusion 24 Attachments 25 2 The Task Force and Its Charge Underlying the creation of the governor’s task force on higher education in January 2009 was the stark realization that spending for public education is seriously out of balance in Vermont. The state spends relatively little on early education, among the highest in the nation for primary and secondary education, and among the lowest in the nation for higher education.1 In light of this, Governor James H. Douglas, proposed a 20% increase in his 2010 budget for early and higher education based on his belief that an investment in lifelong learning is an investment in an individual’s economic independence, and that Vermont’s public higher education institutions must be affordable and accessible to Vermonters who need education and skills to succeed in the 21st century economy. 2 At the same time, the governor sought to inquire whether the current structure, administration, and program offerings of the state’s public higher education institutions are appropriate for today’s needs. This led him to create ―a working task force with the responsibility to find academic and administrative efficiencies that will be achieved through consolidation of our university and state college systems.‖ Although the governor assured the task force that he had no preconceived notion as to what type of consolidation activities might be effective and appropriate, he urged the task force to identify ways to improve services to students and the state and bring greater value to the state’s investment.

    Vermont Students, Workers Object to Tuition Dollars Being Used to Fund... http://truth-out.org/news/item/21682-vermont-students-workers-object-to-t... Thursday, 06 February 2014 00:00 By Jonathan Leavitt, Truthout | News Analysis Rising tuition, faculty cuts and non-living wages for janitors and food workers in Vermont institutions of higher learning are prompting student labor organizers to ask if tuition dollars should be used to exacerbate inequality. In Vermont, labor unrest in higher education is giving way to powerful new forms of adjunct, staff and student organization. At "progressive" Burlington College, once run by Bernie Sanders' wife, a controversial neoliberal "restructuring" has spurred restive students to dissolve their student government and form a "more democratic student union." At St. Michael's College, the mission statement of which is packed with social justice verbiage, the school has refused to give a contract to the first union in the Catholic College's 109-year history. In response, an "alt-labor" coalition of low-wage janitors, students and Vermont Workers' Center members has staged a series of rallies, dragging St. Mike's $434,000 per year President John J. Neuhauser back to the bargaining table. At the University of Vermont, shantytowns (to win divestment from apartheid) and occupations of the president's wing of the Waterman administration building (to win a more diverse faculty divest from war profiteering and protest tuition increases) are as much a prerequisite for a Catamount green- (Photo: Justin Henry / Flickr) and-gold graduation as any seminar. Yet despite hunger strikes and tent cities for livable wages for low-wage food service workers, French multinational corporation Sodexo, with $16 billion a year in revenue, is attempting to use the Affordable Care Act as a pretext to tear up low-wage food workers' health care, retirement and dental benefits.

They were drawn from diverse backgrounds but northerners of yeoman or professional family apparently predominated. Initially they included a substantial group of able non-graduates but the proportion of university-trained clergy had increased to 56% by the early 1630s. The bishops, the greatest patrons of the diocese, favoured men of proven ability. The dean and chapter, also very influential, and lay patrons were more often susceptible to local or personal connections.

  • Chapter IV Attitudes to Pastoral Work in England. C. 1560-1640. the Career Structure and Material Rewards Outlined in the Preced
    195 Chapter IV Attitudes to Pastoral Work in England. c. 1560-1640. The career structure and material rewards outlined in the preceding chapters are the aspects of the parish ministry which left records obviously capable of analysis and even of measure- ment. No doubt they Shaped the lives and attitudes of the clergy. To see the parish clergy only in these terms, however, is to exclude the pastorate itself, the service which justified the continuance in a Protestant community of a separate order of church officers. Naturally enough the English clergy of the later 16th and early 17th centuries commonly held that theirs was both an honourable and an arduous office, by virtue of the ministry which they performed. The two went together, according to George Downame. "The honour and charge as they be inseperable, so also proportionable; for such as is the weight of the Burden, such is the height of the Honour; and contrariwise." 1 Before the burden and honour are examined as they appeared in the work of the Durham clergy, it would be helpful to know by what standards their efforts were judged. What expectations did clergy and laity entertain of the personal and professional conduct of the pastor? i. Contemporary writing on the pastorate. The most public and formal duties of the minister, those of the liturgy, were laid down in the Prayer Book, although with sufficient ambiguity for both the opponents of vestments 1. G.
