#fourth term

May the 4th TERM be with you!

Though ill and wearied by the burdens of leadership, FDR felt a duty to seek reelection for a fourth term in 1944. The contest was the first wartime Presidential election since the Civil War. It unfolded as American forces engaged in increasingly costly fighting.

WASHINGTON | Pelosi, Dem critics discuss plan to limit top leaders’ terms

WASHINGTON — Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats opposing her bid to become speaker have discussed new rules that would likely limit party leaders to three two-year terms, people familiar with the talks said Tuesday. The proposal, if adopted, could well restrict Pelosi to just two more years atop her party.

The plan represents a narrowing of a package Democrats had considered that also would have…

DOVER, Del. | Incumbent Carper wins Democratic Senate primary in Delaware over newcomer Kerri Evelyn Harris in bid for fourth term

DOVER, Del. — Incumbent Carper wins Democratic Senate primary in Delaware over newcomer Kerri Evelyn Harris in bid for fourth term.

I have an internship with the University Exploratory Studies Program within Academic Learning Services. This internship allows me to advise students who are still picking a path for their major during their higher education career. It is situated in Academic Affairs and is a part of Academic support services such as Academic Coaching and ALS courses like Study Skills and Career Decision Making.

The staff of University Exploratory Studies Program is only four full time professionals and one Graduate Teaching Assistant large. Luckily, the University Exploratory Studies Program also works closely with other Academic Learning Services staff as they are all situated in the left side of the first floor of Waldo Hall. The mission of University Exploratory Studies states that “The mission of the University Exploratory Studies Program is to provide academic advising and career assistance to undergraduate students, both new and transitional, who wish to investigate the educational opportunities available at Oregon State University.” UESP advising services typically advise freshman, sophomores, and the occasional junior who have not yet made a decision regarding their field of study.

I think it is interesting to compare the mission and size of Oregon State University’s UESP program with the Undergraduate Advising Program/Center of my alma mater, the University of Kansas. The mission of the Undergraduate Advising Center is: “The UAC empowers all students to take ownership of their education by providing personalized, comprehensive academic advising in a supportive environment.” This mission is similar to the UESP one but does not include career assistance like UESP does. Additionally, The Undergraduate Advising Center at the University of Kansas is equipped with a staff of twenty-seven to see students for their advising needs. To me this is a big staffing disparity between Oregon State University and the University of Kansas when both programs have similar services for similar sized institutions.

           In my internship, I advised a full day for Fall 2016 weeks five through ten, a half a day in winter and a half a day in spring. I sat down with students and inquired about their engagement with school, what brought them to Oregon State and taught them how to enroll using mydegrees, and scheduler. It was a learning curve as the catalog system for advising at Oregon State University is much different than the catalog system that I use online for the University of Kansas. In some ways, Oregon State University does have a leg up on their system because you can see previous courses enrollment, teachers, and location as well as future terms plans. However, with the University of Kansas, the online catalog was easier to search.
