The University Of Louisville Lacks A Living Space Solely...

The University of Louisville lacks a living space solely for the first-generation students. According to Dr. Mathew Lynch, Associate Professor, Dean of the School of Education, Psychology, and Interdisciplinary Studies at Virginia Union University, â€Å"A 2010 study by the Department of Education found that 50 percent of the college population is made up of first-generation students, or those whose parents did not receive education beyond a high school diploma.† (M.Lynch). First-generation students are defined in many different ways depending on which source you look at. Ashley A. Smith, a reporter for Inside Higher Ed. since 2015, says â€Å"New research from the University of Georgia’s Institute of Higher Education, presented last week at the Annual meeting of the Association for the Study of Higher Education, explores whether different definitions of â€Å"First-generation† change (A) how many such students THERE are and (b) our understanding of how they fare in higher education. The answer to the ladder question: not really. Regardless of how they’re defined, first-generation students enroll and graduate at lower rates than do other students.†(A.A.Smith). There are many factors that play into this percentage such as not enough studying, trying to make the ends meet with their bills, not knowing how to study or what to study, and even where they’re going to live. One of these many stresses can be relieved by building a dormitory strictly for the first-generation students.

Perhaps myth is the wrong termmaybe they are just assumptions that seem reasonable at first glance, but when acted on send organizations to a dead end. Many of the organizations I studied started with one or more of these assumptions and then had to make corrections to get back on track. The three myths are (1) build it and they will come, (2) technology can replace face-to-face, and (3) first you have to create a learning culture. Build It and They Will Come Managers who want to make the
