Harold Washington College the fifth oldest of seven city colleges is formerly named Loop College, opened in 1962. Loop College was renamed in April 1962, to commemorate and memorialize Mayor Harold Washington, the first African-American mayor of Chicago. The name change was appropriate, given the fact that Mayor Harold Washington was an alumnus of City Colleges of Chicago. Additionally, he was known best for his love for education, community, and bringing together diverse groups of people to make lasting change. This message is echoed throughout the mission of Harold Washington College. In his commencement address to Loop College May 1984, he resounded a message upon which the culture of the college to this day stands strong.
For something seemingly so obvious, it is often left out of the conversation. Rick Perlstein wrote about the change in “student life” and how it is “no longer all that important”(Perlstein), and Liz Addison wrote mostly about culture and the available beginning. Both fail to give justice to the central idea of increasing your level of education. Due to this idea, I disagree with part of Addison’s argument. If the purpose is to increase education, then how can two years be better than four? Technically speaking, an associate degree from community college is half of what a bachelors degree would be from a four year university. While everything has a starting point, where it finishes if often what is most important. The value of a start in community college, in my opinion, is that you can eventually get into a four year school you could not previously have gone to. I imagine Addison brings up her degree from the university she attended before mentioning the two community colleges she
No matter the previous career path, preventive circumstances, prior academic history or lack of self-confidence, these colleges provide the tools for anyone to further their education. The common students at these facilities understand the importance of education because they’ve experienced the beast of life. One could argue that perhaps this understanding goes a bit deeper than that of one at a four year institution. Any way you slice it, community colleges offer the ability for everyone to academically arrive on common ground. This should be a triumph, not a
Miami Dade College- Is located in Miami, Florida. It is the 8th largest college in the U.S founded & founded in 1959.

Every new term a school needs a way to fund its school. Free Application for Federal Student Aid is needed at all colleges for a student to be able to pay their way into the school of their dreams. This form is used to determine the amount of money a family is expected to contribute to the price of attending a postsecondary institution. The results of the FAFSA are used in determining student grants, work study, and loan amounts. Students have two options when preparing their annual, federal student aid application: either prepare the form on the U.S. Department of Education's website or get assistance from a fee-based FAFSA preparation service. Most financial aid is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, and students are encouraged to prepare and submit a FAFSA on the day it opens, January 1 of each year, using income estimates to be updated after taxes are
SNCC came together in 1960, from an action of four college students that thought it was time for them to be served at a lunch counter. This movement sparked a flame in all college students. The committee was found on April 16 1960 in Raleigh North Carolina. Ella Baker the executive director of the SCLC, became one of the first leaders of the movement. When the SNCC first started out they discouraged the ideal of becoming an organization, they wanted to be a movement. The SNCC had some great movements, starting off with continuing the sit-ins.
Throughout this research paper, the discussion topic deals with whom or what Berea College should serve. Sources will be used to discuss the Appalachian region, Christian colleges, the Berea territory, and the history of Berea college. The topic of discrimination will also be discussed mainly focused upon what it is, how it can be used for good, and if it is okay to practice. Berea should primarily serve students who come from poor economic background regardless of their race, region, or religion because students might not have the same opportunities at another institution. Berea College should devote most of its acceptance percentage to the lower-class students of Appalachia. With the remainder percentage, Berea should accept lower class students
Imagine if East Jordan high school offered several elective and AP classes to students. Imagine how it could benefit the students of East Jordan Public schools. It would offer much more to students. East Jordan high school use to have many elective classes like: Forensics, Environmental sciences, Creative writing, honors biology, and advance writing, but now the high school does not offer enough elective and AP classes. East Jordan high school must add more classes because they help with schedules, college, and preparedness.
In the year 3000, the planet Earth is a desolate wasteland. It has been a little over a half a century since the “big one” hit the Earth. The majority of the human race has been eliminated with only a few hundred remaining. The only ones who have survived barely made it on to the spaceship as the big one smashed the Earth. Marcus is one of the many survivors coping with solar winds and debris floating around the Moon. After half a century, the survivors are running out of supplies on the moon. The crew must go back to post-apocalyptic Earth and explore the wasteland. Marcus knows that this journey will not be an easy one. They encounter different
There are different types of financial aid available to students such as grants, scholarships, and loans. There are a lot of these types of financial assistant available for students to have access to. There are many websites available online that have all different types of scholarships. Some scholarships have certain requirement such as race, GPA, demographic, parent’s income, etc. Others require students to write an essay and others only require students to only apply. Grants are given to students and are money that is not required to be repaid. Most grants are federally and state funded. Loans are money borrowed and is required to be repaid and in most cases with interest.
Under the present system, all students applying for federal aid file a form called the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is meant to figure out the amount of money a family is able to shell out for an education, or the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Assuming the student does not qualify for independent status, both the expected contributions from the student and the parents are included in the EFC. In order for a student to get independent status you have to be married or over the age of twenty-four. After filing the FAFSA, the student will receive back a Student Aid Report (SAR) which includes the Expected Family Contribution. The way most schools determine the amount of aid you will receive is to subtract the Expected Family Contribution from the total costs of the university. Total costs include such things as tuition, room and board, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses. The student receives the difference in loans and grants. A loan is financial aid that will have to be paid back, normally after the student graduates. A grant does not have to be paid back. A scholarship...
