Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments. "Powerful." --USA Today "Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." --Washington Post "Superb, smart, and succinct." --Forbes

Download or read book A Punkhouse in the Deep South written by Aaron Cometbus and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radical subcultures in an unlikely place Told in personal interviews, this is the collective story of a punk community in an unlikely town and region, a hub of radical counterculture that drew artists and musicians from throughout the conservative South and earned national renown. The house at 309 6th Avenue has long been a crossroads for punk rock, activism, veganism, and queer culture in Pensacola, a quiet Gulf Coast city at the border of Florida and Alabama. In this book, residents of 309 narrate the colorful and often comical details of communal life in the crowded and dilapidated house over its 30-year existence. Terry Johnson, Ryan “Rymodee” Modee, Gloria Diaz, Skott Cowgill, and others tell of playing in bands including This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb, operating local businesses such as End of the Line Cafe, forming feminist support groups, and creating zines and art. Each voice adds to the picture of a lively community that worked together to provide for their own needs while making a positive, lasting impact on their surrounding area. Together, these participants show that punk is more than music and teenage rebellion. It is about alternatives to standard narratives of living, acceptance for the marginalized in a rapidly changing world, and building a sense of family from the ground up. Including photos by Cynthia Connolly and Mike Brodie, A Punkhouse in the Deep South illuminates many individual lives and creative endeavors that found a home and thrived in one of the oldest continuously inhabited punkhouses in the United States.

Download or read book State University System Graduation and Retention Rates Are Nationally Competitive. Information Brief written by State University System of Florida. Board of Governors and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State University System of Florida six-year graduation rate and second-year retention rate are strong compared to the ten largest public university systems. Graduation rates for the System's minority students are also competitive, with rates for non-Hispanic Black students and Hispanic students ranked in the top 10 when compared to all four-year public institutions in other states. The Board of Governors has recently adopted a process for State University System strategic planning, budgeting and accountability reporting that puts graduation rates among the key measures to inform policy decisions. Despite Florida's competitive national standing for graduation rates among its public four-year institutions, the Board of Governors and University Boards of Trustees recognize that there is room for improvement. This report evaluates and provides numerical data for comparisons of Florida graduation and retention rates. The following are appended: (1) 2004-2010 National Graduation Rates; (2) 2009-2010 2nd Year Retention Rates for First-Time-in-College Students in Public Universities; (3) Comparison of Graduation Rate Methodologies by University; and (4) Six-Year Undergraduate Progression and Graduation Rates by University.

Download or read book One Size Fits None written by Stephanie Anderson and published by University of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sustainable” has long been the rallying cry of agricultural progressives; given that much of our nation’s farm and ranch land is already degraded, however, sustainable agriculture often means maintaining a less-than-ideal status quo. Industrial agriculture has also co-opted the term for marketing purposes without implementing better practices. Stephanie Anderson argues that in order to provide nutrient-rich food and fight climate change, we need to move beyond sustainable to regenerative agriculture, a practice that is highly tailored to local environments and renews resources. In One Size Fits None Anderson follows diverse farmers across the United States: a South Dakota bison rancher who provides an alternative to the industrial feedlot; an organic vegetable farmer in Florida who harvests microgreens; a New Mexico super-small farmer who revitalizes communities; and a North Dakota midsize farmer who combines livestock and grain farming to convert expensive farmland back to native prairie. The use of these nontraditional agricultural techniques show how varied operations can give back to the earth rather than degrade it. This book will resonate with anyone concerned about the future of food in America, providing guidance for creating a better, regenerative agricultural future. Download a discussion guide (PDF).

Download or read book The Good Soldiers written by David Finkel and published by Sarah Crichton Books. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. He called it the surge. "Many listening tonight will ask why this effort will succeed when previous operations to secure Baghdad did not. Well, here are the differences," he told a skeptical nation. Among those listening were the young, optimistic army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers. About to head to a vicious area of Baghdad, they decided the difference would be them. Fifteen months later, the soldiers returned home forever changed. Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter David Finkel was with them in Bagdad, and almost every grueling step of the way. What was the true story of the surge? And was it really a success? Those are the questions he grapples with in his remarkable report from the front lines. Combining the action of Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down with the literary brio of Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, The Good Soldiers is an unforgettable work of reportage. And in telling the story of these good soldiers, the heroes and the ruined, David Finkel has also produced an eternal tale—not just of the Iraq War, but of all wars, for all time.

Download or read book State University System Graduating Rates: How Are We Doing? written by Florida State Department. of Education, Tallahassee and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This information brief highlights the graduation rates for full-time first-time-in-college students in Florida's State University System (SUS) institutions as well above the national average for public four-year colleges, based on early release data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Of those who entered the SUS as first-time, full-time students in fall 1997, 58% completed their bachelor degree at the same institution by 2002-2003, compared to 53% of students at public institutions nationwide. Florida ranked tenth among the states in overall graduation rates, with graduation rates for Hispanic and black students ranked eleventh and fifth respectively. Among the ten largest states, Florida was third in overall graduation rates and first in graduation rates for black and Hispanic students. This brief compares graduation rates for student entering SUS in 1997, by asking the following questions: (1) What factors reduce graduation rates? (2) What factors improve graduation rates? (3) What happens to students who do not graduate in six years? (4) When do students leave? (5) Why do some students take longer than four years? (6) How long does it usually take students to finish? (7) What are the limitations of graduation rates? and (8) How are graduation rates calculated? The Florida SUS reports that overall 63% of freshman students who entered in 1997 graduated within the standard four-year academic term. (Contains 1 table.)

Download or read book Supporting Transfer Student Success written by Peggy L. Nuhn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-11-06 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research-based book with practical applications teaches academic librarians to support their transfer students effectively at both universities and community colleges, even when transfer students' information literacy needs differ from those of other students. Colleges and universities across the United States serve a large and growing population of transfer students. Current estimates suggest that more than one third of college students transfer from one institution of higher education to another at least once. At some institutions, transfer students compose up to fifty to sixty percent of the new incoming class. Academic librarians' understanding of the demographics and potential needs of transfer students is essential to supporting their success and mitigating "transfer shock." Just as public libraries often bridge gaps between individuals and services, academic libraries can proactively support the often unique needs of transfer students by spearheading textbook affordability initiatives, developing innovative programming, and making appropriate referrals to non-library student services. In this practical guide to supporting transfer students, authors Peggy L. Nuhn and Karen F. Kaufmann teach academic librarians how to optimize information literacy instruction, support research, help reduce stress, and connect the library to virtual students. They emphasize the importance of establishing partnerships with feeder institutions and other campus departments to best support transfer student success.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This information brief examines four factors contributing to Florida's overall high graduation rates in public four-year institutions: (1) Graduation rates for the largest race/ethnic groups were higher than for the nation as a whole; (2) The gaps between racial/ethnic groups were smaller than in the nation as a whole; (3) Florida's largest institutions compared well with their peers; and (4) Florida's students are more likely to attend institutions with high graduation rates. The brief also examines national trends, when students leave, how long it usually takes for students to finish, the limitations of graduation rates, and how graduation rates are calculated. It is noted that graduation rates are not, by themselves, indicators of institutional quality or efficiency; they are best viewed in a broader context. Table 1 shows same-institution graduation rates for public four-year institutions, by state, Fall 1996 full-time, first-time-in college students.
