WILLIAM CHILDS WESTMORELAND PAPER General William Childs Westmoreland is a figure that is inextricably linked with the Vietnam War and he is the man that embodies the event to the American people. To look at a timeline of his life is to look at a steady progression to his command in Vietnam. Beyond that he dealt with the aftermath.

between 89.7%- 90% 2. How can we, as a University connect with different schools in terms of meeting people and collaborating with them? (UNO & Creighton University)? We could have a Walking Woman Car to allow students to travel around the Aksarben area. We could also have discount cards for shops and stores around the Aksarben area as well.

Motivation to most of us is to graduate college, the future goal we intend to accomplish in our education careers. I’m not saying it’s the next step for all, but for most careers require higher education. Graduating college is a feeling we can all share; at least one of us have a family member, loved one, friend, co-worker or even yourself that has completed the overall goal as a college student; we strives us to achieve the degree in our field? Family is a strong reason why people strive or fail

Service Settings are The First Thing Students See at Universities Differentiation between Universities: A college/ university is not just a place of learning and knowledge, the backstage of a college is business style establishment and their main goal, which they won’t ever admit, is to make money from students while giving them an education. With the ever-expanding number of colleges/universities in the nation, schools are in need to find ways to differentiate themselves and stand out to the
The Catcher in The Rye is a captivating novel by the author, J.D Salinger. It can be viewed from many perspectives. I have had many thoughts and feelings towards The Catcher in The Rye and the characters in it, by reading the book so far. In my opinion, The Catcher in The Rye is a very confusing book. Although it is very baffling throughout the chapters, the plot has intrigued me into reading more of it with the unpredictable plot twists. New characters have also been introduced that keep affecting
There is Struggle in Success As young adults, there are many things that we are expected to do. Going to college is one of those many things. According to CBS News, in 2011, 94% of American families expect their children to go to college. If you want to obtain a degree and work, college is an obvious choice. However, doing this is not simple. The life of a college student it far from easy. SATs, ACTs, Accuplacers, these are just the beginning of the process for college. Before you even get accepted

I am thankful to ACRL's Recruitment & Nominations committee and honored and humbled to stand for election with Lauren Pressley as a candidate for ACRL vice-president/president-elect. ACRL has been my professional home since my initial years as an academic librarian. The landscape of higher education and academic libraries continues to ever evolve as much as technology transforms asynchronous and synchronous learning. Academic libraries and librarians must continue to remain relevant. Highlighting
In “Should Everyone Go to College?” Isabel Sawhill and Stephanie Owen make a strong valid point on whether or not college is for everyone. For many students ready to leave high school, wondering whether they should attend college is an issue that may lay heavy on one teenagers mind. There are a few factors that could be a difficult decision depending on a person’s goal they are working towards. Some students jump right into the workforce after high school.

Determination Generates Success Many people believe that students that encounter hard lives will commit academic sins. However, many professionals that successfully graduated college while having struggles in their lives, proved otherwise. In fact, Culpepper mentioned in his composition, “The Myth of Inferiority”, students might succeed in any academic institution, even if they experience hard lives (330). Also, he states that students with light loaded routines have the same chances to fail in

People would say that a person would not get far without having some form of a degree. In reality, college is just not for everyone. Some people would rather just get a job when they graduate high school. People say that a person might not be able to find a good paying job if a person does not go to college, but in reality there are a lot of jobs out here in
