Kayla Fratt ’16, a current WES Scholar from Wisconsin, was enchanted by the Rocky Mountains, which led her to find Colorado College, the type of small liberal arts school she always knew she wanted to attend. Fratt had never heard of the Woman’s Educational Society, but was pleased to receive the generous award for her accomplishments. WES had the ability to not only reduce Fratt’s loans and financial stress, but also offer her a group to trust in for assistance. “WES also is a really great community of supportive women and mentors, which has been a great network of emotional support,” Fratt says. Fratt also appreciates the impact of the book scholarship that WES Scholars receive each semester. This aids Fratt to have the resources for her intense studies as an organismal biology …show more content…
They helped pay for my on-campus EMT course, which is the only thing that allowed me to take the course.” In between her busy schedule, Fratt enjoys finding time to stay connected with the women of WES, who offer as much social support as they do academic. Fratt especially enjoys the holiday cookie exchange when she is able to meet the board and strengthen her relationship with the society. “My personal mentor, Elaine, is always very engaged and interested in my schooling and social life. It’s wonderful to grab lunch or dinner with her, and just update someone on my life, knowing that they really care about what I have to say.” Fratt’s time at CC has been enhanced by WES, a group that has given her both friendship and opportunities she may not have had otherwise. Through WES’s continuous encouragement and the intensive environment at CC, Fratt has taken away the ability to balance her life, take initiative, and work well alone and with others. Fratt is capable of acting independently in her academic and personal life while always maintaining the highest level of performance, preparing her for whatever may come her

I have had the pleasure of knowing Gurleen Sahansra since she began at Forest Hills High School at the beginning of her sophomore year. Being a new student can be a difficult adjustment for some students, but Gurleen never faltered in her academics. Her organizational skills, persistence in times of struggle, and intelligence were only some of her wonderful attributes that helped her along the way. Those same attributes were also helpful in her selection to be a member of our Health Professions program and National Honor Society chapter. Gurleen is a sweet and quiet young lady with a wonderful sense of self and maturity.
L&C alumna Adrienne Reed Oliver has had her heart set on working at Lewis and Clark Community College ever since she graduated from the college in 1990. “Lewis and Clark Community College has been a long-term goal for me since I graduated,” Reed Oliver said. “I was so inspired by my speech teacher, Linda Watkins, I vowed to return and give back the same support, the same constructive criticism and the same demands for only the best, just as she had.” As Lewis and Clark’s Coordinator of Diversity and Inclusion, Reed Oliver is focused getting to know students individually and helping them overcome specific obstacles.
This made her drive to finish school even stronger because she got a feel for working in the

On Sept 11th the students of the Rubin Pollack Education Center at Sullivan County BOCES had the privilege of meeting author and Sullivan BOCES alumni Edward Coon. Edward Coon is passionate about inspiring others with his words and knowledge. For more than 20 years, he has given help to others and continues to do so in his everyday life. Mr. Coon felt that coming back to where it all started would give him the opportunity to possibly change the lives of students the way his life was changed when he was enrolled at BOCES. The session started with Mr. Coon paying tribute to his mentor as he talked about how things turned around for him.
She attended two of them and has a major in biology from the Southern Maine Community College, which makes it easier for her to connect with her audience because she knows what the experience is like. She understands that some people may rule out going to college because of the price, so it’s important for her to inform them that there are cheaper alternatives with community colleges. “ ‘College is the key,’ a young African American student writes for the umpteenth torturous revision of his college essay, ‘as well as hope.’ Oh, I wanted desperately to say, please tell him about community college. Please tell him that help can begin with just one placement test,” she pleads (Addison, 213).
She urges the educators to believe in forming relationships with their students to boost their academic achievements, as well as their self esteem. She later gives her audience the ultimatum of they can either choose to form connections with their students or not. For peirson she engages the audience with her appeals, making them feel as if they were important and they were not being talked down to. She strengthens her argument by drawing in the audience while not diminishing her credibility in her argument of, teachers need to form relationships with their students to achieve a higher academic rate and self
The minute I stepped foot onto Swarthmore’s campus, I knew I was home. Something about observing my parent’s beaming faces, the giant lawn chairs, and the Hogwarts-esque train station resonated with me as I wandered across campus. In my research of Swarthmore College, one of its most compelling characteristics is the amount of diversity. Growing up in a predominately white suburb in Crofton, Maryland and attending elementary and middle schools with the same homogeneity, I longed to live in a place where I could meet people of different backgrounds, races, and sexualities.

The outstanding achievements that define the College of Arts and Sciences are a source of inspiration for all. In a short period of time, it has been exciting to see how our faculty and students have moved the college to become one of the best global public research colleges in the country. This is due to its deep commitment to solving real-world problems through excellence in research, while providing an outstanding and affordable liberal arts education and engaging students’ talents in the global world in which we live. I recognize how privileged I am to lead the College of Arts and Sciences, the oldest and largest college at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, with such talented, creative and ambitious people. Here are a few highlights that demonstrate my excitement for what all the members of this college have accomplished: • Among our many students’ achievements and
Throughout my time in the honors program at ISU, I have been able to be a part of unique classes and projects. One of the classes that supported my education and curiosity outside of my degree was the honors exploration titled “In Pursuit of a Better World: The Promise and Challenge of American Philanthropy.” This experience provided a unique insight into philanthropy through providing an overview of its history, philanthropy today, and philanthropy at ISU. Understanding the effect of philanthropy in education such as at ISU expanded my understanding of what ISU is as an organization and educational facility.
