Student Leadership And The Student Association For Chinese University Students

The socioeconomic status of an individual’s parents has always been one of the clear-cut forecasters of the individual’s academic success and educational accomplishment. The correlation between family socioeconomic uniqueness and student accomplishment is one of the most forceful patterns in educational scholarship; however the reasons and means

Briefly explain why you want to be a Student Leader, what you can gain and contribute to the program.

“We have come to far, we have sacrificed too much, to disdain the future now.” John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963. Kennedy looked at the country’s future and served with America 's future in mind. America 's government and history are two things youngsters need to educate themselves about, in order to go deeper into the truth and lead our country, because history tends to repeat itself, government officials could be more diverse, and student polls show how little they really know.

1. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time.

Pace’s Student Government Association—also known as SGA—is another school meeting public to the student body. Those who are in the Student Government Association are eboard Senators that represent different types of on-campus organizations and clubs. SGA senators meet every other Friday from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. or until time permits on the top floor of Kessel building in the Multi-Purpose room. If special events are being held on SGA meeting days, SGA is usually in Butcher Suite, which is also on the top floor of Kessel. Members of SGA are expected to dress in formal business attire or in a modest appropriation. These members sit in rows and are assigned to specific seats in the room with signs—similar to congressional placards—that distinguish the type of club or organization the individual senator represents. The President and his board sits at the front of the room—separate from the senators; it is like the formation of a panel. This association uses parliamentary motions on a normal basis during their meetings. The purpose of SGA meetings is for senators to voice their concerns and make proposals to the President on behalf of the club and organization. The goal of the President and his board is to find solutions to the issues that are raised and to look into supporting students by ensuring that students are also doing well academically. Clubs and organizations also update each other about projects that they are working on and the progress they have made over time.

Nowadays, the detriment in higher education has reached alarming levels. According to Suzanne Mettler, a political scientist at Cornell University, while students work hard on the side to be able to afford an education, they receive an inferior education because education has evolved into a caste system that doesn’t give them a chance to succeed. Mettler addresses this topic in her book, “Degrees of Inequality: How the Politics of Higher Education Sabotaged the American Dream.” She analyzes the relationship between money and politics, greed, and misplaced priorities, and how education produces more inequality amongst students from different economic levels (HU, 2015).

As Zumeta (2005) reported, the decline in degree completion rates is, in part, due to institutions enrolling more disadvantaged students; however, elite institutions have higher graduation rates. Thus, “the surest route to success is to reduce the ‘risk profile’ of the students admitted” (p. 50). Because retention and graduation rates are significantly influenced by the characteristics of the students they admit, institutions would be forced to admit fewer disadvantaged students in order to meet accreditation standards. Rather than increasing diversity on college campuses, such actions would likely “further stratify student bodies socioeconomically across these different types of schools” (p. 50). This has far reaching implications for higher

Throughout high school, I have always been involved in numerous clubs and organizations; however, I never took the initiative to be a leader in any activity until my senior year. It wasn’t that I lacked the motivation or the drive to be a leader, nor was it that I repulsed obligations or responsibilities. It was simply a matter of chance. Unfortunately, I would run for positions in clubs but I would never get elected- Vice President for the National Honors Society and Vice President for Student Council to be exact- causing me to question myself and my character.

As being a member of the Associated Student Body, I have experienced many leadership roles. We aspire to create events in which our student body can be more involved in at our school and increase school spirit. What comes along with having a small school that does not follow traditional high school experiences, such as football games or big pep rallies, it becomes difficult to bring out student appreciation for our school. As a leader of ASB, my biggest obstacle is to create a school environment as close to the high school experience, in order to provide our students the opportunity to look back at their high school years as one of the most memorable years of their youth. This year, our biggest challenge was to put out the best Junior Ball

This study is unique in that is studies both fraternities and sororities but is comparing the difference between those who are organization officers and those who are not. They are compared across nine different educational gains. These educational gains are Sense of Belonging, Diverse Interactions, Interpersonal Relationship Skills, Interpersonal Competence, Leadership Skills, Personal Development Skills, Healthy Behaviors, Self-Worth, and Intrapersonal Competence. They are evaluated by asking members to report

As a member of multiple extra-curricular activities such as sports, I was greatly impacted by being led by upperclassmen, it is there where I noticed that leadership is a meaningful quality. Being able to lead requires a great deal of responsibility and honor.

The President’s Leadership Academy at Bowling Green State University is a program that is made up of a diverse group of the strongest students at BGSU, who all have a passion towards helping others. The diversity of this group allows students in the PLA to reach all corners of the University. This far reaching inclusivity makes a large university feel more like home and a close knit community. The scholars in the PLA program also show strong leadership abilities and a drive to create a better place for everyone at BGSU and beyond. Through their leadership skills and their drive to help others PLA scholars make BGSU the home away from home for everyone.

Specifically, how marginalized students activate cultural capital during matriculation and how cultural capital intensifies during their educational career. Moreover, I want to understand how students adjust to academic life while straddling between different social class environments. Exploring the linkage between social class, education, and social outcomes will improve knowledge of the reproduction of social stratification.

Leadership is one of the most defining qualities of a person's character. The ability for someone to balance their own personal beliefs in accordance with that of others, and be able to use the power others have entrusted in them for the purpose of bettering the whole is a true testament to one’s integrity. One area in which this holds a significant precedence is in student-led extracurricular activities: opportunities where students are put in positions of authority and serve as mediators between the student and administrative body. As a junior in high school, I've been given the privilege to serve in positions where these factors are of utmost importance. Since freshman year I’ve served as a leading member of AWARE (African Americans Working to Achieve Relevance and Excellence). We consider ourselves to be more than just a school minority club; we strive to educate ourselves as well as students of different backgrounds of the minority status in education, politics, and society as a whole. The main purpose of AWARE is to help members better both themselves and others and to have a positive impact both in the school
