What will happen if I do not meet these expectations? As a representative of the College Success Foundation, the CSF Achievers Scholars Program and your high school, we expect that you will conduct yourself in a responsible and respectful manner at all times. Breaking the rules may result in a conference with staff (for less serious offenses) to negotiate a more appropriate approach to being placed on CSF Achievers Scholars Program Eligibility review (for more serious offenses). Breaking the law in any way may result in you being sent home immediately. Do I really have to attend all of the workshops? Yes. The workshops are designed to give you information and tools so that you will have a successful senior year, get the most out of your mentoring relationship, learn how to apply to college and receive financial aid. The workshops are mandatory and it is expected that you attend all of them. What will happen if I don’t attend? If you miss any of the workshops, you will be required to make up all of the assignments at minimum. Failure to complete the assignments in the time allotted may result in you being placed on CSF Achievers Scholars Program Eligibility review. Also, see the answer to “What are the expectations…” above. Can I leave campus? NO. You are not allowed to leave campus at any time. See campus boundaries on the map. What should I do if I observe someone else “breaking the rules”? If you witness an illegal activity, please report the incident to CSF staff. If you or someone is in immediate danger, immediately call for help - find an adult, locate a campus security phone, etc. What should I do if I get sick or injured? If you become sick or are injured, contact the nearest adult staff (Peer Counselor, College Success Foundation staff) right away. They will see that you receive appropriate medical care. Editorial Note: The summer program is all about you, the CSF Achievers Scholar. One of the goals is to equip you with lots of information and resources so that you will be able to navigate your senior year and applying for college armed with all of the right tools. Another goal is to provide a venue where all CSF Achievers Scholars are able to meet each other and build community. During the program you will get to know the other Scholars in your high school as well as Scholars from other schools. Getting together on a college campus is a great way to experience all of this! What do I do if I lose my name badge? You will need to wear your name badge at all times. If you lose your badge, go to the ACE Information Center located in Fairhaven Hall. The staff will make you a new one. What do I do if I get locked out of my room? Contact your Peer Counselor or go to the ACE Information Center located in Fairhaven Hall. The staff will help you get into your room. Can I change color/number groups? No, but if you have questions or concerns about the group that you are assigned to please discuss with one of your Peer Counselors. Can I change roommates? No, we have made every effort to assign you to your requested roommate (if any) and ask that you sleep in the residence hall room that you have been assigned to. It is important that you make every effort to get along with your roommate, but if you have an issue or conflict that you feel that you cannot resolve, please speak with your Peer Counselor. You are not allowed to change roommates on your own and/or sleep on the floor in someone else’s room (this is a fire code violation). What should I do during ‘down’ time? Time in between session and meals are an opportunity for you and your fellow CSF Achievers Scholars to explore the campus and learn helpful information on your own. Use the time to complete the tasks in your Passport. Completed Passports will be eligible to enter a drawing for great prizes! Can I switch lectures or sessions? No, lectures & sessions were assigned based upon the information that you provided on your registration materials and class rooms have been assigned based upon the size of the lecture hall. Switching lectures is not permitted to be able to “stay with your friends”, but if you have a legitimate, academic reason for requesting to be assigned to a different lecture please check in with your College Prep Advisor. What happens if I don't like the food, can I go off campus to get something else? No, the dining hall serves a variety of dishes at each meal from hot entrees, to cold entrees to salad bars. You should be able to find something to your liking at each meal. CSF Achievers Scholars Program CSF Achievers Scholars Program Expectations High School Class of 2012 The College Success Foundation designed the CSF Achievers Scholars Program Expectations to provide a framework of positive actions that will assist you to make the most of the opportunity provided by the program.

  • The Negro Baseball Leagues the Women's Professional Baseball Leagues Some of the Greatest Negro League Players the Last Man To
    The Negro Baseball Leagues The Women’s Professional Baseball Leagues Some of the Greatest Negro League Players The Last Man to Bat .400 in an American Professional Baseball League The Last Person to bat .400 in an American Professional Baseball League The First African American Players to Join Each Major League Team Women Offered Minor League Contracts Chapter 16 The interesting facts for Chapter 16 are dedicated to two populations excluded from playing in the Major Leagues. African American players were excluded until 1947. At one time the population of women was excluded from the Major Leagues. Today, even though there are no women in the Major Leagues, they are not excluded officially anymore. Other Professional American Baseball Leagues This entire section is devoted to two other professional baseball leagues, the Negro Baseball Leagues and the Women’s Professional Baseball League. These leagues were established because their players were excluded from the Major Leagues. For the Negro Leagues, the baseball statistics of the players were not kept accurately. Records were not kept of all Negro League games because the media paid little attention to them. Several black newspapers did make an attempt to keep records. However, when these newspapers went out of business their records were destroyed or lost much of the time. Many times the teams in the Negro Leagues would play games against teams outside their league. The statistics kept were cumulative and involved both league games and non-league games. After Jackie Robinson entered the Major Leagues in 1947, the statistics were kept more accurately because the leagues wanted to sell their players’ contracts to the Major Leagues.
