Ryerson has many different student services that provide a quality student experience. The four service offers I find the most interesting are the student financial assistance, international student services, student learning support, and student housing services. The student financial assistance is meant to be support students in regards to financial needs during the time at Ryerson. They provide guidance, information, tools, and services, especially on the website and in person. Business students could benefit academically from ‘getting connected’ to this resource by relief of being secured in terms of tuition and can focus on grades. They can benefit professionally by being supported by a program that will put them in position to succeed. And they will benefit personally by being finically …show more content…
And they will benefit personally by the cohesion they will get and in a community that comforts them. The student learning support is meant to be support students in regards to learning success. It offers a study skills and transition supports and offers help in English language, math, writing, and graduate student support. Business students could benefit academically from ‘getting connected’ to this resource by helping students engage more effectively in their academic studies. They can benefit professionally by being around dedicated professionals who come from different backgrounds and can help build you professionally. And they will benefit personally by being a good student who involves getting help and guidance along the way. And finally, there is the student housing services. This is meant to not only provide residency but to create a convenient place and a Ryerson community. They connect students the people in their community through social and academic events. There are activates and programs designed to help students discover more bout themselves and their
The Leeds Scholars Program offers many academic benefits that I firmly believe will maximize the potential of any student. Because the Leeds Scholars Program is a rigorous process, the difference in my community of peers, the mentorship opportunities, and the specialized advising will essentially provide the proper guidance needed in order to fully succeed academically and professionally. For the reason that I have first hand experience, I have a strong belief that proper guidance is as valuable as the knowledge given in a classroom. Although I always saw myself as a scholar, coming from an underrepresented background I was always surrounded by pervasive situations. If it were not for the administration team at my high school mentoring me,
2. To provide comprehensive career planning services that support all members of the Northeastern University community in identifying, planning, and implementing sound career decisions
This two week program places a strong emphasis on cultivating the mindset necessary for engagement in entrepreneurship of all kinds. Babson is world renowned for their entrepreneurship program. The faculty teaching entrepreneurship are unparalleled and make the classroom experience exciting. The students participating in the program are from various parts of the world such as Germany, Poland, Spain, Chile, Uruguay, and Peru just to name a few. Of the thirty students in attendance half of the class was on track to finishing their 4-year degrees, and the rest of the class was a mix of master degree students and PhD candidates. Each student was either creating, developing, or part of a startup company. The focus of the program was to expose the student to an entrepreneurial culture with the goal of learning to become a better entrepreneur. My experience at Babson solidified my interest in entrepreneurship but also made me realize the importance of having a background in finance and economics. Cumulatively, my experience at Vassar College and Babson College gave me the confidence and assurance I needed to transfer into colleges outside of NYC. I definitely expanded my network and learned a lot in the 7 weeks I was away. For the students who are on the tipping point on choosing to go away for college but aren't sure, take that leap of faith. Scour the internet for information, ask questions for summer programs you may be interested in. Determination for an area of interest will always lead to
I have done this by having group bonding activities often as well as appearing warm and welcoming to all, especially those who do not appear at our activities in order to make them feel included at all times. If made a Resident Assistant, I plan to go further than this and try to encourage the residents to open their doors more often in order to appear more welcoming to each other. I will also keep working hard on inventive group bonding activities. I find that more work can always be done in order to create lasting bonds between residents. Most importantly, I have grown to understand that even though we refer to our residence halls as our dorm, or simply “school”, the truth of the matter is that these residence halls and the college itself, is our home. Above all else, I hope to bring every sense of the word into reality for any future residents that I may
Having the college experience is everyone’s dream, especially High School students who are ready to get out into the world and explore. College is very important for furthering someone’s career, but no one thinks about all the costs and the stress that comes along with college. Tuition fees and costs are increasing more and more each year. Now days it feels like you have to be a millionaire just to attend a good college and get a good degree in what you were attending for. There are some students that do not have a lot of money and live on very little things with their parents, but indeed are very smart and have a 4.0 GPA. Those students are the ones that are unable to attend college if they cannot afford it. College tuition is too expensive,
Brooklyn College is considered a “poor man’s Harvard”. It’s neither glamorous nor prestigious, it’s cheap and sustainable. Brooklyn College’s campus has well-kempt gardens, competent technology departments, a gym, a pool, a full-size basketball court– and it’s within walking distance of my neighborhood. Students can work jobs, have a life, and still make time for a college education. It feels like an upscale community college, but I think the community makes Brooklyn College a true New York experience. For students unwilling to move far away, going to Brooklyn College is a sensible use of
is important that student affairs professionals understand the different types of institutions because this is one way that an institution type can affect the work that is accomplished by the student affairs practitioner in a positive way or negative way depending on what you are looking for when
In this crowded marketplace, Harvard is distinctive. This is due to several factors: The faculty is close to business practices and is committed to teaching; students are engaged, responsible for their own learning and for teaching others; the MBA Program provides a learning model, rather than a teaching model. Supporting HBS's distinctive environment is a residential campus that fosters a unique sense of community.
When I went to Brophy I was shocked. Everyone was willing to help their fellow man and the social work we did was meaningful. Sometimes I had trouble in Physics and my teacher had gone home, however, there was always another student that could help me solve a problem. During my summers of 2014 and 2013, I had the chance to advanced my required community
"Tomorrow is the first day of what I will become." I wrote this in my diary the night before my first day of college. I was anxious as I imagined the stereotypical college room: intellectual students, in-depth discussions about neat stuff, and of course, a casual professor sporting the tweed jacket with leather elbows. I was also ill as I foresaw myself drowning in a murky pool of reading assignments and finals, hearing a deep, depressing voice ask "What can you do with your life?" Since then, I've settled comfortably into the college "scene" and have treated myself to the myth that I'll hear my calling someday, and that my future will introduce itself to me with a hardy handshake. I can't completely rid my conscience from reality, however. My university education and college experience has become a sort of fitful, and sleepless night, in which I have wonderful dreams and ideas, but when I awaken to apply these aspirations, reality sounds as a six thirty alarm and my dreams are forgotten.
In conclusion, school should solve housing problems for students regarding cost, and small dormitory. To do so, school should contract with apartments near Seattle central or extend this small dormitory. Furthermore, school should stand for student’ position. Then school acknowledges necessities of improving these problems and school must prosecute these solutions. If these problems are solved, students can put their all effort into studying and school can retain competent students.
In Britain and in other parts of the world, students have been taking a gap year between high school and college for many years. The highest three rated outcomes of gap years is that of gaining "a better sense of who I am as a person and what is important to me" followed by "the Gap Year gave me a better understanding of other countries, people, cultures, and ways of living" and "it provided me with additional skills and knowledge that contributed to my career or academic major."(Kahl) Many students use a gap year to travel, to work, or to find out what they want to do in their life. Gap years prove to be beneficial to many students in more ways than one. The secret to having a successful year between high school and college is a structured plan with goals. Many students find that a gap year helps them to “set me on my current career path/academic major" or "confirmed my choice of career/academic major." (“Data Gap & Year Benefits”) At Sydney University, a study conducted with 900 first-year students shows that a gap year increased motivation and boosted their performance in their first semester in academics (Knoll). Taking a gap year between high school and college gives a high school graduate time to rest his or her mind while figuring out what he or she wants to do with his or her life, travel across borders, and participate in work projects throughout the world to help those in need.
My first year at Northeastern, I experienced all the feelings any typical college college freshman feels, anxious, out of place, and excited. As the year, progressed the anxiety and fish out of water feeling continued despite making friends and finding my classes intellectually stimulating and challenging. As I entered my sophomore year with all these feelings still prevalent, I joined the Resident Student Association due the persistent nagging from a friend who was in the organization. After joining and seeing how my fellow members were invested in making Northeastern a more engaged and welcoming environment for it’s residents, for the first time since taking that fateful tour at Admitted Students Day, I felt connected to my fellow students
At present, service industries are the major contributors in the economy of many nations. Various studies have been conducted on service quality in different service industries, however studies on service quality in higher education sector is relatively new as compared to other service industries especially in Indian context. Senthilkumar & Arulraj, (2010) proposed that among all service sectors, the education sector, particularly the higher education system, has direct bearing on society for society’s growth and socio-economic development. The study of service quality in higher education is essential to the institutions to provide information on the effectiveness of education plans and improvement programs (Cardona, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework of service quality in higher education. Apart from the conceptual view, this paper also attempts to briefly describe the role of marketing in higher education.
The profession of student affairs is boasts a specific focus on other people, particularly students in the college environment. In this field, professionals cannot be selfish. More than any other functional area of higher education, our students are given the opportunity and ability to grow I many different areas of their lives, not just academically. In light of this field’s overarching goal of positive, whole student development and facilitation, I am dedicated to positive, beneficial, meaningful interactions with other students and faculty and staff I may encounter professionally.
