Thank you for your support of the 2017 College Access to Success Summit. As a non-profit whose purpose is to serve as an advocate for Historically Black College and University Alumni Associations, the College Access to Success Summit represents our focus on student recruitment and education. Our organization consists of 52 Metro Atlanta alumni associations whose members have a passion of sharing the gift of education with children who live in underserved communities. Our College Access to Success Summit allows us to fuel this passion by targeting at risk communities. By partnering with school administrators and other non-profits we strive to reach students who have a desire and ambition to pursue higher education but need a guiding hand to show them the way. Our goal for the College Access to Success Summit is to provide corporate job forecasting to students and pave education pathways to long term career success. The commitment of our sponsors to this event not only allows us to share the blue print of obtaining a degree but also allows us to help financially by providing scholarship dollars to students attending this event.

  • The Tennessee Meteorite Impact Sites and Changing Perspectives on Impact Cratering
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND THE TENNESSEE METEORITE IMPACT SITES AND CHANGING PERSPECTIVES ON IMPACT CRATERING A dissertation submitted by Janaruth Harling Ford B.A. Cum Laude (Vanderbilt University), M. Astron. (University of Western Sydney) For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT Terrestrial impact structures offer astronomers and geologists opportunities to study the impact cratering process. Tennessee has four structures of interest. Information gained over the last century and a half concerning these sites is scattered throughout astronomical, geological and other specialized scientific journals, books, and literature, some of which are elusive. Gathering and compiling this widely- spread information into one historical document benefits the scientific community in general. The Wells Creek Structure is a proven impact site, and has been referred to as the ‘syntype’ cryptoexplosion structure for the United State. It was the first impact structure in the United States in which shatter cones were identified and was probably the subject of the first detailed geological report on a cryptoexplosive structure in the United States. The Wells Creek Structure displays bilateral symmetry, and three smaller ‘craters’ lie to the north of the main Wells Creek structure along its axis of symmetry. The question remains as to whether or not these structures have a common origin with the Wells Creek structure. The Flynn Creek Structure, another proven impact site, was first mentioned as a site of disturbance in Safford’s 1869 report on the geology of Tennessee. It has been noted as the terrestrial feature that bears the closest resemblance to a typical lunar crater, even though it is the probable result of a shallow marine impact.

The framework emphasizes five phases of reading instruction in a content domain: observing and personalizing, searching and retrieving, comprehending and integrating, communicating to others, and interacting with peers to construct meaning. Instruction was implemented in .1 year-long curriculum with a multicultural population of fifth-grade students in a Chapter 1 school in Prince George's County,Maryland. Measures of learning suggested that students who had Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) for 4 months surpassed a comparison classroom in amount and breadth of reading and intrinsic motivations forreading. The CORI students gained significantly in the cognitive strategiesof search and comprehension during the 4 months. CORI instruction was contrasted to experience-based teaching and strategies instructionin terms of their support for motivational and cognitive development.
