Columbia University “There Will Never Be Another You”

On bonfire night, I always remember my time at university going to the Lewes Bonfire Society celebrations. While the UK rememberers Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot, Lewes also remembers the 17 martyrs burnt to death by Mary I in the town in the 1500s. https://t.co/z3iG6awn2b pic.twitter.com/alWIUYTvlR

In the 8th century, tennis originated as a game called ‘La Soule’ played by Christian Monks; in the 18th century, field tennis evolved on grass courts. ASTM F1953-10(2018) covers guidance for the construction & maintenance of #GrassTennisCourts. @ASTMIntl https://t.co/Cbyd0EnbA6

Recycling

The Impact of E-Waste / Student Art Guide

Certain requirements must be met for recycling to be economically feasible and environmentally effective. These include an adequate source of recyclates, a system to extract those recyclates from the waste stream, a nearby factory capable of reprocessing the recyclates, and a potential demand for the recycled products. These last two requirements are often overlooked—without both an industrial market for production using the collected materials and a consumer market for the manufactured goods, recycling is incomplete and in fact only “collection”.

Today at 11 AM/E we examine the state of best practice literature – including government regulations — that apply to education communities.

Construction Spend

“Etude pour les constructeurs” Fernand Leger

We follow the construction spend rate of the US education industry; using the US Census Bureau Construction Spending figures released the first day of every month. We encourage our colleagues in the education facilities industry to respond to Census Bureau-retained data gathering contractors in order to contribute to the accuracy of the report.

How far can we go with the comparison of “school spirit” with currency printing?

A college or university’s “image” or “brand” is not a form of currency printing in the traditional sense. Instead, it can be seen as a valuable intangible asset. An institution’s brand represents its reputation, identity, and the perception it holds in the minds of the public, prospective students, alumni, and other stakeholders.

A strong and positive brand can be highly valuable to a college or university in various ways:

Attracting Students: A reputable brand can attract a higher number of qualified applicants, as students often seek out institutions with strong academic reputations and positive campus experiences.

Alumni Engagement: A strong brand can foster a sense of pride and loyalty among alumni, leading to increased donations and support for the institution.

Funding and Partnerships: A well-regarded university brand can attract funding from donors, grants, and collaborative partnerships with other organizations.

Faculty and Staff Recruitment: A positive institutional brand can make it easier to attract and retain talented faculty and staff members.

Research Opportunities: A strong brand can lead to greater research opportunities and collaborations with other institutions.

While it’s not a form of currency printing, a university’s brand can have a significant impact on its financial health and long-term sustainability. Therefore, colleges and universities often invest in brand management and marketing to maintain and enhance their reputation in the highly competitive world of higher education.

A busy life is not a symbol of status. It’s a symptom of trying to do too much for too many people.

A full calendar brings a surplus of stress and a shortage of energy. Reflecting and relaxing should be top priorities.
