Book excerpt: On Campus approaches the topic, college orientation, respectful of the fact that for students, college represents an enormous investment of time and money, and for faculty, an understanding that they must feel well-prepared to teach content that is not discipline-specific. The mission of On Campus is to provide students with an opportunity (1) to experience and develop knowledge, behaviors and attitudes that promote successful college study and positive campus experiences, and (2) to appreciate multiple perspectives that reflect intellectual and cultural diversity within and beyond college. Students learn skills and strategies necessary to make informed choices, to understand their responsibilities for academic success, and to become independent, motivated learners.

Book excerpt: The definitive single-volume compendium of all things Princeton The New Princeton Companion is the ultimate reference book on Princeton University’s history and traditions, personalities and key events, and defining characteristics and idiosyncrasies. Robert Durkee brings a unique insider’s perspective to the school’s dramatic transformation over the past five decades, showing how it has become more multicultural, multiracial, and multinational, all the while advancing its distinctive academic mission. Featuring more than 400 entries presented alphabetically, this wide-ranging collection covers topics from academic departments, cultural resources, and student organizations, hoaxes, and pranks to athletic teams, the town of Princeton, and university presidents. There are entries on coeducation, women, people of color, traditionally underrepresented groups, the diversification of campus iconography, and the protest activity that helped to usher in many of these changes. This marvelous compendium also includes annotated maps tracing the growth of the campus over more than two and a half centuries, lists ranging from prizewinners of many kinds to Olympic medalists, and an illustrated calendar that highlights something that happened in Princeton’s history on every day of the year. Now completely updated, revised, and expanded from the classic 1978 edition, The New Princeton Companion tells you virtually everything there is to know about this remarkable institution of higher learning, revealing what it stands for, what it aspires to, and how it evolved from a tiny colonial college to one of the most acclaimed research universities in the world.

This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of students head to college every year. Yet only about half persist to earn their degree. Even among the "best and brightest," many struggle, drop out, fail, or step away. What's going on? And how can it be different for you? Smarter Than You Think: Accessing Your Personal Powers to Triumph in College reframes our concept of what it means to be smart in higher education. Take a groundbreaking and transformative journey with Professor Liff through the hidden foundation of college success; not IQ or achievement scores, high school grades or SAT's...but personal intelligence. See its pervasive power to lift students up and escort them right on to the graduation stage. You'll enjoy your travels! Crafted for new and returning college students, college-bound high schoolers, non-traditional students coming back to college after a break, and parents, professors, and counselors, this book is both a prerequisite and companion for a positive pathway to college success. Discover the many ways to be intelligent. Then delve into the six major competencies that make up our personal, social and emotional intelligence: self-awareness, the capacity to regulate emotions and deal with disappointment and stress, the ability to set meaningful goals, knowing how to monitor your own progress and actions, having empathy for others, and social skills that help establish relationships, work well on a team, and even step up to leadership. Experience how they support, guide, and even rescue students during the changes and challenges of college life. You will be amazed at how these capacities promote success and champion academic performance - and happiness - throughout the college years and beyond. Along the way readers explore related incredibly valuable qualities for thriving in college: - Know how important it is to be optimistic. - Understand why delaying gratification is so vital for any student who wants to graduate. - Learn what it means to have grit and to keep going when you feel like quitting. - Reflect on issues shared by college students, so you won't be shocked by them or feel alone in your concerns. - Consider productive ways to communicate your needs and advocate for yourself. - Take valuable risks, like joining in, speaking out, finding your voice, and taking charge! - Learn tools to resolve conflicts with others and inside yourself. - Discover a remarkable potion for ditching procrastination and managing your time and workload; the number one challenge for every undergraduate. - Think about yourself often to consider your own reactions and reflections to things you learn or experience. There are many stopping points throughout the chapters of this book to do that! An engaging independent read, Smarter Than You Think, also works beautifully as an ancillary text for freshman college experience courses or university orientation programs. It far transcends typical "tips" for college students. In an encouraging and supportive voice, it weaves scholarly theory and research with compelling college issues and scenarios, true campus stories, insights and advice that packs every reader's book bag with the tools to thrive in school. Succeeding in college is not just about academics. Read Smarter Than You Think to understand, unlock, and apply your personal powers. You can grow them. Make them stronger. They will enrich, uplift, and manage your life and times in college. Achieve, persevere, enjoy...and triumph!
