In contrast, the rhetorical strategies used by Lisa Byers displays a nice phenomenon about Fraternities, the credibility of this writer was respected due to the interviewing of many of the fraternity members to know why they are doing this. According to the article that shows how frats are trying to help the local community, one of the member says “As a fraternity and an organization on campus it is part of our ideals and founding beliefs that we should be helping the community,” said Allegheny sophomore John Kauffman, a member of Phi Kappa Psi.

Being honored for the award led the school to be even more diverse. They engaged themselves so much in racial and ethnic unity which led to intentional diversity because of that the honor for the award was no longer considered, Scheller was told during an interview with Michael Scales and David Turk, the president and provost of the college.

The universities must be filled with talented and well-educated people in the United States.

“Preparing people to lead extraordinary lives.” (“Mission & Identity: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016, para. 3).

Loyola was founded in 1870 as St. Ignatius College and is one of the largest Jesuit colleges in the United States (“Key Facts at a Glance: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016). In the 2015-2016 academic school year, Loyola enrolled over 16,000 students (“Key Facts at a Glance: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016).
Finding Tufts was like grocery shopping: I had to pass through aisles of lackluster Wonder Bread before discovering the scrumptious sourdough I needed. I was captivated and surprised by the endearing personality that shone through the articles I read. For an institution, I found Tufts to be quite human. “Pax et Lux” is not just an aphorism above a doorway; the ultimate advice of the dean himself is to “be kind”. It was apparent that in addition to academics, kindness and character is of utmost importance, which assures me that at Tufts I will have the most comprehensive college

Usually bands are a group of members who get along, but that was the problem, for the Eagles that was rare.

They got many awards and had thousands of fans who loved them for their music, worldwide. The Eagles have a big impact on rock and roll music. The Eagles started their performing career in high school, where they started earning many achievements including getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Marywood University incorporates a mission statement where they base a campus state of well-being off a list of core values including, empowerment, service, excellence, catholic identity and respect. We are working towards a goal in a community at Marywood that presents these core values as a set of words to live by on campus, but in our hearts we have to connect meaning to them. Sometimes, it might be hard as a college freshman to know these words by their definition but rather what they mean to them and how they can actually put them into action. The book “A Good Man” and the speech “This is Water” represent the Marywood core value of Excellence in two completely different ways in which a Good Man represents the physical actions of Excellence
The University of Chicago offers a plethora of advantages to its students. Given its advantageous location, UChicago acts as a cultural, economic, and social hub in the city of Chicago. The city exposes its students to a melting pot of cultures through its impressively diverse student body, which allows for the facilitation and diffusion of differing ideas and thoughts. Having grown up in rural Indiana, this assimilation into a completely new sociocultural sphere would foster personal and academic growth and a broadening of my own perspectives. UChicago embodies American ideals of civic virtue, charity, and community involvement through its expansive civic engagement initiative.
I am first generation college student. I started Florida Gulf Coast University four years after I migrated from Jamaica along with my Dad, in pursuits of “an opportunity”- something that is very scarce outside of the continental United States. Before coming to FGCU, I went to Miramar High School; I graduated with honors and promised my Dad that within four years I would bring home my bachelors degree in Finance. August 14th, 2013 marked move in day at Florida Gulf Coast University. My first few weeks at Florida Gulf Coast University introduced me to the dreariest days and nights of my life.
The smaller, tight knit community promotes intellectual challenges both in and out of the classroom as students are surrounded by others who are as academically focused and change seeking as they are. By being students in not only the Kilachand Honors College but one of the eight schools or colleges Boston University has to offer, students are able to make strong connections to world renowned faculty across several disciplines. Students of the Kilachand Honors College gain access to smaller class sizes and therefore these student-faculty relationships are further promoted even within Boston University's large undergraduate
Being a man for others means being able to fill demands for justice, and not being limited by time and place; a man for others is willing to do what is necessary for serving others. Being a man for others is also being Christlike by knowing when to be selfless, noble, and even affable and joyful, as Christ is. This is the path that I hope to pursue at Jesuit and I am encouraged to know that this is the path that God desires for me to pursue. Though the athletics programs and facilities on the Strake campus are desirable, I can more importantly be academically successful at Strake as well. The rigorous yet rewarding acedemic program at Strake Jesuit will benefit me by making me a mature, college and career-ready
When a school like the University of Chapel Hill, it is virtually impossible not to get caught up in all of the school spirit and pride that this campus takes in being academically and athletically vigorous and successful. This is illustrated through everyday events like the “UNC ” and “Tar Heel” that are seemingly in every student’s social media bios, or the plethora of Carolina blue t-shirts seen in the pit on a daily basis. This undying love for UNC and everything it encompasses is even more undeniable on nights like Saturday when the Carolina basketball team smoked Duke and it felt like every student ran as fast as they could to celebrate the victory together on Franklin Street. Being enrolled here it feels like students who never cared
"This lack of academic engagement is real, even among schools with the best students and the best teachers, and it increases dramatically as the quality of the school decreases. "(Gutting 454-455). When I read this section, I was surprised. I thought having the best teachers and students would increase the quality of the school. However, the article mentions of the lack dedication of professors.
