Goucher College

Since I was a first generation and low-income student I applied to be a First Generation Scholars Intern. I thought this internship is a good experience for me because I have full understanding of some of the struggles and barriers with being a first generation student at Goucher College. In order to get this job I had to apply last year then I had to do an interview, which went well. This internship position is new and so is the First Generation Scholar program. Goucher college did not have this last school year they only had the application to become an intern. This school year is the first time they have this job position and program available. Which I think it is good that Goucher college is offering this program because it is providing…

the institution that is today known as Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. For 142 years, Lindenwood University was known as Lindenwood College for Women; then the board made the decision to include men in the enrollment. In this paper I will argue that women protested the allowance of men on campus in the years 1968 and 1969 because of current underlying tension that was already happening in the country. For so many years, men had the advantage of schooling and getting an…

true that college tuitions can be exorbitant, I still maintain that getting an undergraduate degree will pay off much further in the future than a high school diploma. Sanford J. Ungar, president of Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland, author of “The New Liberal Arts” claim that “the critique… seems to be fueled by the reliance on common misperceptions” (226).

children to work hard, do well, and earn a college degree, then they will get a job. Many would argue that this philosophy helped the older generation be successful in their educational and post-educational careers, so it should not be changed; however, in the words of Ken Burns, “the problem is that the current system of education was designed…

Up program was introduced, I had a fair idea of what I was intending to study, but I remained unsure and had made no further necessary decisions about my post-secondary education. The reason I had not even thought about what university I wanted to go to or what career I wanted to pursue was due to a lack of resources and guidance. My parents, although always supportive of me, were limited as to what they could help me with when it came to making academic decisions beyond high school as they had…

Many say that American high schools teach students to learn how to take standardized tests on writing, rather than actually prepare them for college. Therefore, most secondary students are entering college without an understanding of how to meet demands of college writing beyond the prescribed “standard five-paragraph essay.” Susan Fanetti’s “Closing the Gap between High School Writing Instruction and College Writing Expectations” examines the discrepancy between American high schools and their…

children on to higher education. The only hard decision a child should have to make concerning college is choosing which school is best for them after high school. If a person wants to go on to college after high school, it should not have to be a difficult decision based on a nonexistence of monetary contributions. Unfortunately for most children in American families the lack of awareness of preparing for the future of the child or children in the home for continued education has caused many…
