College President Research Paper

Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) has a gorgeous, nature filled campus. While visiting SFA, students are able to see why lumberjacks are so proud of their campus. Unfortunately, there is one place on campus that is just so grotesque that many avoid it entirely, the Ag pond. The Ag pond has the potential to be a beautiful spectacle to not only students but prospective students. The solution is simple. Create a group of students and faculty under campus sustainability to maintain the Ag pond. To limit the pollution of the Ag pond, the campus sustainability could dredge and clean, then in return make the pond beautiful again.

The long list of men who have served as president of the United States includes a wide variety of backgrounds, ages, educational attainments, and service. Each man in the top spot contributed in his own way—some were more popular than others. “The times make the president” is a true statement, alluding to the fact that the economy and world events often shape the public perception of the sitting president. Poor economic times are often blamed on a president who is unable to effect a turn of economic tide quickly enough to satisfy a populace weary of struggling monetarily. War is never popular; however, in many cases a war has actually made a president more popular than he would have been if left to his own devices. For example, Franklin Roosevelt’s performance during World War II made him a wildly popular president. On the other hand, Lyndon Johnson bore much of the brunt of the extremely unpopular conflict in Vietnam. His presidency suffered as a result, overshadowing even his immense strides in the area of civil rights. No matter how talented or likeable is the man who is elected president of the United States, his popularity is in large part determined by the times. Were a woman elected, her lot would most likely be no different.

With many distinguished and honorable roles under my belt I truly believe that I am the perfect candidate for the freshmen president. I was one of the co-captains for the Clover Hill High School Varsity Track and football teams. I was also president of the relay for life club. Other leadership roles that I have obtained in the past would include; freshmen mentor, senior class advisory consul, YMCA camp consular, Middle school track student coach, lead vocalist in RCS Acapella group, Algebra II student teacher, and lead roles in the school musicals. With all these leadership roles that I’ve obtained through out my high school year it has taught me to associate with not only other club, sport, or musical, but with the individual members. As

How do they have a more nutritious and healthier food option. They could go to the store and buy some fruits and vegetables, they could go to a restaurant and order some healthy food like a salad or vegetable soup, or they could just go home to eat something healthy there. School lunches do not have the best reputation, especially in the united states. By allowing students to venture off campus to make a better food choice, they are able to choose from anything they like. This could also mean a more nutritious option.

A community garden can provide a student with hands on experience, also learning opportunities in a wide array of subject, such as science, math, and nutrition. Example of this is at Seven Oaks Middle School in Lebanon, Oregon.

So all the pieces of the puzzle exist, but they need to be put together, and Spring Arbor needs to do so in order to set an example for students and the world. The moral obligations have been implied throughout this paper and should be rather obvious, but by dealing with its waste in a responsible way that does not end up in a landfill, Spring Arbor is caring for the earth. Also, in order to promote a counter-cultural, “sticker” generation, Spring Arbor needs to show students how they can invest in the place that they are in, as opposed to the cultural “boomer” that strips a place of its natural resources and then moves on once he or she is able to make the move upward (Baker, 2015). Also, while administrators may be worried about the profitability of a composting program, they should remember that SAU is a

In the article “Creating A "Green Bubble" On Campus: A Model For Programming In A Green Living-Learning Community,” David Whiteman, a faculty of the University of South Carolina, informs how the Green Quad, a learning community at the University of South Carolina, applies sustainability. The Green Quad program started to educates student a notion of sustainability, to encourages them to make an action, and to makes connections between students, faculty, staff, and members of the larger community. The program began in the fall of 2004 with a small student group that is interested in the environmental issues to create core constituencies. Later, the group became “the Green Learning Community” in which members get opportunities for extra programs

Presenting the benefits of building a green house facility on Western’s La Crosse campus. First student benefits will be explored ,second the campus’s benefits, and third the environmental benefits will be discussed. Images of the recommended design and a map outlining the proposed location are presented, and the estimated costs of the proposed kit are included as well. This project will have a positive impact including supporting Western’s efforts toward meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations or in other words being sustainable (Western, Web).

I was given the opportunity at the 2017 Tiger Fest to bring Trap Garden to the students, faulty and staff to share what I do and why I'm passionate about agriculture and people. A community garden requires a community. In Tennessee, 1,016,420 people are struggling with hunger-and of them 315,370 are children.  What we were able to accomplish in South Nashville will help to change these statistics.Community gardens can provide access to fresh produce that may be unavailable in low-income and limited resource for families and individuals. They are also recommended for dietary and health improvements within a community. I am glad to be able to share valuable information such as this to address a bigger issue at hand but to also allow individuals to get involved and make a change. Since being on campus and sharing "Trap Gardens" mission we have gain amble amount of support and volunteers to give back not just at TSU but the surround g community and other

a. One step could be for us to create a continuous food drive in the residential halls here at UWEC and encourage students to donate a few cans of food each week. Cans that come in parent “care packages,” and sit on the shelf for the rest of the semester would be great candidates.

Solar power is nothing completely new; it has been used for years to power small devices from calculators to watches, but what is new is its improved efficiency. Solar panels can be used to collect energy from the sun and now are being used on a much larger scale. Homeowners and business can use energy generated from the panels to power their homes and offices and have it purchased by energy suppliers. Solar power is proving to be an economical energy source available to the public that is consumer friendly.

I know there are communities that compose there food already but schools should start to do it as well. It would make a great rep on the school that they are a green community. Plus it costs to get rid of food you do not need. It'd be way much cheaper to just compose the food then to just throw it out. There would not be as much trash around school either. In my old elementary school used to have a food garden and they would put compose food in there to help the new food they are growing for the nutrients in the old food. The only difficult part is getting students to go with the idea, Because for some reason students are lazy to just bring there food to a trash can that is like only 5 10 steps away from them. Kinda disgusts everyone that people can be such pigs. Which is why we should try and make the schools a green school so we can take part in something amazing for the enviornment. It will also build great community connections around the school which should then go onto other people to do the same next thing you know you have the whole community doing what the schools started. So if people can just start realizing how much this would be great on the

In behalf of its commitment to mitigate climate change the Harvard University is fostering its schools, employees and students to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. “As an initial step in pursuit of its long term goal, Harvard committed to an immediate goal of reducing its net GHG emissions resulting from existing operations and future growth by 30% relative to its 2006 baseline by 2016” (“Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal,” 2013). The Green Harvard Initiative, together with the Harvard’s Office of Sustainability and the Environmental Health & Safety Department have taken the lead to promote and implement initiatives related to GHG emissions reduction.

Solar energy is defined as “power obtained by harnessing the energy of the sun’s rays.” (Dictionary.com, 2017) People have been using the sun for thousands of years for warmth, growing food, drying out food and clothes. Using solar energy in public schools could benefit all of the society with the creation of more clean energy and be able to stretch the use of nonrenewable resources. According to National Center for Education Statistics, there are 98,328 public schools in America. (Statistics, 2016) This number is rising increasingly which means we need more energy to keep these schools heated in the winters, cooled in the summers, and lit with lights. In the united states, 68% of the electricity used is from nonrenewable fossil fuels. When converting these fossil fuels to electricity they produce harmful substances including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. These substances are hazardous to human health, causes acid rain, and contributes to global warming. If the public schools in America transitioned to the solar energy it would lower the cost of utility bills on the school districts, it would increase the educational opportunities for the students, and it would positively impact the preservation of Earth.

“Students are both encouraged to take a role in eco-friendly practices and projects for the campus,” explained Sara Spencer-Workman, sustainability education specialist.
