Clemson University is an amazing school to go to because of its really spectacular weather. You can just sit back and relax just enjoy your day after a long hard day of work from class. Even some students agree here is what one said” The weather gets really hot in the summer gets pretty cold in the winter months. There’s a good spread of the seasons you get a good amount of time for fall winter spring and summer.” ” We realize that top-ranked academics are just the beginning of our students’ race

be an ACPA Ambassador to become a liaison between Clemson University and ACPA. I’m also applying because Dr. Havice (our student affairs department head) felt I would be great fit as an Ambassador representing Clemson University. This same sentiment was echoed by another professor in our leadership department here at Clemson. If I am selected as an Ambassador, I hope this role will afford me the opportunity to create connections between the Clemson and the ACPA community; both on a regional and national
Universities of the Future Universities progress as technology advances. A vision of Universities of the future is only possible with a vision of the technology of the future.

cheating is equal to triumph, and therefore already concluding that plagiarizing could be a possible and maybe the most convenient way to achieve success - having an excuse for plagiarizing. Finkelmeyer includes a statement given by the director at Clemson University, Teddi Fishman, he says that people are theorizing that because students think cheating is a must to succeed in life, they start to cheat in college. This wrong mindset abounds in schools, and not many teachers nor students takes this problem

An athletic director usually will not watch a team practice or watch them in the weight room, so for the administrator to find out about a situation like this, the player’s teammates probably went to the athletic director with their complaints. If there is a student-athlete in the athletic department that is causing tension with her teammates because she is late to practice, misses class, and does not do the right things, the administrator should first call the coach in for a meeting and ask what
Paying College Athletes There has been an extensive debate over the years about college athletes being paid and I honestly don’t see why there is a debate about it at all. The NCAA has strict rules about players receiving benefits from the school in forms of helping players and their families in the form of paychecks or even helping pay bills. College sports bring in an enormous amount of money for the schools every year and are expected to be given nothing in return. Sports do not only bring in
Also, colleges are implementing more online courses for their students. Although online classes have their benefits, academic honesty can also occur. According to research found in Stemming The Tide of Academic Dishonesty, “ One professor from the University of California, Berkeley was astounded to find groups of 20 people in a class submitting the same homework (Pappano, 2012).” (qtd. in Aaron and Roche
Even though it is not a subject regularly discussed in conversations, it can be extremely simple to fuel a debate on whether or not a large or small college is the best fit. Personally, I believe that a small college would be the wiser choice for a freshman 's first experience into college. Attending a large college can easily place one into a very uncomfortable situation. First, he will have a more difficult experience acquainting himself with 4,000 students than he would in a college that only
grades. To meet this expectation, some students are willing to use alternative methods or cheat on academic work to gain higher grades. In the media, there have been several high profile cases of students committing academic dishonesty at prominent universities such as Harvard and Duke. Academic dishonesty is the term that describes any act of cheating in a formal academic setting. This includes acts such as plagiarism, fabrication, deception, bribery, impersonation, and sabotage.

When entering college, it seems to be some students’ dream to join a fraternity or sorority. The question is ‘have they really thought this through?” There are many aspects of Greek society one should consider before making a decision that will affect them for the rest of their life. Anyone contemplating joining a Greek organization, needs to be educated on both the positive and negative effects they tend to have on people. Students should take special care in deciding whether it is really wise to
The Secrets Of College Sports Nowadays the student is being mistreated by the University that he/she plays for.The definition of student athlete is “an individual who engages in, is eligible to engage in, or may be eligible in the future to engage in, any intercollegiate sport”(“Student Athlete Law & Legal Definition”par.1). Research shows that student athletes living expenses are not the best as they sometimes don’t have enough money to pay for rent. Also, school expenses are an issue even for the
Past, Present, and Future of State University The structure and workings of the university are ever changing. The university of the past is not like the university of the present and the university of the present will not be like the university of the future. This “adaptation” to the times is what can make some universities great or make some universities among the worst in the nation. In the past the university was very set in their ways. They did things the way they wanted them done
the Starpoint School on TCU's campus. She was very insightful to all of my questions even though she has only been working for a few years. Her job title is a school counselor.

achieve because they learn that hard work is not rewarded with scholarships. This is a horrible lesson to teach the students of this country. It is immoral and unfair. Scholastic achievement and learning are the main purposes for colleges and universities. Accordingly, students should be rewarded for their superior academic achievement. Take for example two students of the same economic standing. Tim is a straight A student while Josh commonly receives C's and D's. If both students were to be
action is to integrate minorities into public institutions, like universities, who have historically been discriminated against in such environments. Proponents claim that it is necessary in order to give minorities representation in these institutions, while opponents say that it is reverse discrimination. Newsweek has a story on this same debate which has hit the nation spotlight once more with a case being brought against the University of Michigan by some white students who claimed that the University’s
Is College Worth It? In Life today a college education is no longer an option or privilege, but rather it is a necessity. We are raised to believe that a person needs higher education in order to succeed in life. There is a saying, “if you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” You may ask is college necessary? There are people out in the real world that have never set a foot on a college campus before and they are doing better than others that have their master’s degree. There are many
