Though many state militias and volunteer infantry companies adopted regular army uniforms, more wealthy states designed and adopted their own. In 1861, New York created their own battle jacket as shown in Figure 5, which was a tailored shell jacket that went to the waist and featured eight to twelve buttons down the front (MacDonald). These coats were used largely by New York state volunteers, but were also issued to several neighboring state units (Troiani). Zouave companies and regiments had the
usually after the sophomore year of college, many universities do not guarantee housing, leaving students to fend for themselves. Housing is an issue on almost every university’s campus nationwide at one point or another. There is always a high demand for housing, and an even higher demand for on-campus housing. Many universities offer guaranteed housing to freshmen, but after that it is rare to receive anything better. To solve this problem universities are attempting to expand their campuses to

To investigate the issue, he has set up a Community Building Task Force at Northeastern University. A board of student leaders, professors, and administrators sit on the Community Building Task Force at Northeastern to present short-term ways to control rioting as well as long-term courses of change to better the university and community relations and bring an end to the rioting trend
Colllege Students Struggling with Rising Costs Kristen Carlow, a 20-year-old former Northeastern University student left Boston last spring after her freshmen year, because of overwhelming tuition prices. “My parents make a decent amount of money and I’m an average white female student. I’m nothing special, where the government or Northeastern was going to give me enough money to pay for school,” Carlow said. This is the current situation that many college students face across the United
Internal Co-op vs. External Co-op: Is There a Difference? Paul Ethier, a 20-year-old middler entrepreneurship major at Northeastern University, stands at the Information Center in the Curry Student Center on a busy Friday afternoon. In freshly pressed khakis and a slate blue button down shirt, he smiles as he chats casually with one of his employees. Two floors above, Frank Grajales, a middler entrepreneurship and MIS major, sits at the scheduling desk, beside his employees, booking reservations
thought of being away from my loved ones for a long period of time gave me the greatest scare of my life. I courageously told myself, "Pull yourself together, Majed! 5-6 years is nothing compared to the opportunities that an American college or university would provide you, that you, under other circumstances, would never have back home." This mental disposition has successfully guided me for the duration of my stay in the US. I originally applied and finished my first semester at Suffolk College
experiences it had to offer. Last November, It had been dwelling on my mind for quite some time to visit various campuses in lieu of my upcoming graduation in May of 2016. Finishing my Associate’s Degree in Computer Science from Triton College, Northeastern Illinois University became a point of interest for making my transition, offering the appeals of scholarship opportunities, undergraduate study programs and hope for my educational goals. My friend Isaac and I were given a stellar tour of the campus by a
I am applying for The Neurological Surgery Summer Student Program. I am looking for an internship that will allow me to grow and familiarize myself with new careers in neuroscience. I have established a strong background in research, having worked in many labs both in and out of the classroom setting. A position in this program would offer me an invaluable perspective into the field of neurological medicine, which would prove to be extremely helpful in allowing me to pursue my goal of attending graduate
education opens many doors and offers many advantages and opportunities. On average, people with higher education achieve an income of almost double than those who only have a high school diploma. Therefore, throughout their life, a graduate of a university can have an income of around $2 million, while a graduate from high school only reach $1 million. In fact, the gap between the income of a person with a college degree and income of a person with a high school diploma has expanded in recent decades
Participants Participants in this study were all psychology students from the only summer section of research and statistics method class from the Northeastern University. The sample included 18 participants (5 males,17 females and 1 unknown). Age mean amongst the class (M= 26.39), with a stand deviation of (SD =4.075). The study was introduced by instruction before the conduction of the experiment. One student did withdrew from the study before the conduction. Materials The materials used for

The Impact of Race on Retention (Pat) Race can be a factor in obtaining a college degree. Some minorities, especially Hispanics and African Americans, are at greater risk of not obtaining a college degree (O’Keefe, 2013). The Department of Curriculum and Instruction created the Recruitment and Retention of Minority Students Committee (RRMSC) in the spring of 2000 to evaluate methods for the recruitment and retention of minority students. Minorities identified were African American, Afro-Caribbean

Rask (2010) found that at a selective northeastern liberal arts college, females’ decisions to persist in STEM field majors were less sensitive to grades than male students. However, Ost (2010) found that, at a large, elite, private, research university, females’ persistence decisions were more sensitive to grades in the physical sciences than their male counterparts. In summary, women and men
As young adults transform from their years of high school to the beginning of college, they are faced with many new challenges and obstacles. One such obstacle is the struggle of keeping a healthy diet and staying physically fit. This lack of regard can lead to weight gain, unhealthy habits, and ultimately life threatening diseases. This weight gain is commonly referred to as the Freshman Fifteen, fifteen pounds that many first-year college students gain. There are multiple reasons for this increase
The functional area of service-learning is currently emerging as an acknowledged department at an institution of higher education. The theoretical roots of service learning go back to John Dewey, and the early twentieth century. However, current research on service-learning pedagogy dates back only to the early 1990’s. Best practices for the field are still being created as more and more new offices are springing up on campuses throughout the United States and institutions internationally. The reason
Students at Simmons College have the luxury of going to school in the heart of the city. The location itself gives the students incredible resources and job opportunities. However, living in the city also has its disadvantages, such as a lack of parking.

The minimal parking availability on the Simmons College Residence
