The Power of Integrated Learning
Students and their parents wonder if college is worth the investment. Employers want graduates with the skills they need. The public wonders if higher education is preparing future generations for an era of dynamic change. In his latest book, William Sullivan offers a model of higher education that answers all these questions in the affirmative, through the power of integrated learning. Drawing on examples from the 25 members of the New American Colleges & Universities (NAC&U) consortium, the book makes the case for an approach that combines the strengths of the liberal arts, professional studies, and civic responsibility in order to give students the combination of skills and experience that will prepare them for success in all aspects of life after graduation.NAC&U campuses place emphasis upon enabling their students to know themselves and their abilities, as well as providing them with opportunities to develop a sophisticated understanding of the world. To achieve these goals, the academic programs focus on developing students' intellectual and practical skills, such as analytical ability, problem solving, facility in written and spoken communication, and an appreciation for human diversity and creativity. These have traditionally been identified as the goals of a liberal arts education, and are the same ones identified in a national employer survey as giving job-seekers an edge.These institutions also invest a great deal of effort to provide their students with state-of-the-art preparation for professional life and occupational success in diverse fields. These range from the technical - science and technology fields, with disciplines such as engineering and computer science - through business, and across the human service fields, such as education, nursing, pre-medicine, and pre-law, to architecture, and the performing and visual arts. In these courses of study, students begin to shape their future careers.The important third value of a NAC&U education is fos

An analysis of cooperation networks related to research projects between universities in the Chungcheong region in Korea: Suggestions for strengthening university networks
Objective: The aim of this study is to obtain information regarding how 54 universities in the Chungcheong region of Korea are conducting joint research among themselves. More specifically, the study aims to understand the network characteristics and main patterns according to which universities in the Chungcheong region are conducting joint research, and to obtain the information necessary to utilize the network structure between universities as a strategy for future regional development. Design/Meghodology/Appraoch: For this purpose, we investigated the number of joint research projects conducted among these 54 universities in 2022, thereby obtaining the most up-to-date information possible. Network analysis was performed based on the surveyed data. Result/Discussion: The research results show that a total of five clusters exist in the Chungcheong area. The universities that play a central role include KAIST, Chungnam National University, Chungbuk National University, Kongju University and Korea National University of Transportation. Conclusions: Because these universities constitute important bases in the region and have close links with neighbouring universities, they are expected to play an important role in future regional development. Originality/Value: One of the academic implications of this study is that it applied social network analysis methods to research-related partnerships between universities in the Chungcheong region to identify universities that play an important key role.

Living Labs in University-Industry Cooperation as a Part of Innovation Ecosystem: Case Study of South Korea
Living labs are an extremely attractive opportunity for Korean companies to enhance collaborative research and transform development activities targeting the complexity of today’s economic changes. However, although there is plenty of technological support for collaboration, Korean companies still lack clear understanding how to improve business processes in the living lab ecosystem. The main problem is that the development of living labs in Korea is in the early stages due to the significant market regulation system and the gap between the innovation system and market regulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of living labs on the innovation ecosystem of South Korea, therefore the research is focused on the innovation process within university–industry cooperation. The focus is on the structures, objectives, and drivers of the collaborative innovation ecosystem and elements of living labs. The expert method was applied and the interviews were arranged with 30 executives of high-tech start-up domestic projects; the main hypothesis was that different elements of living labs have direct and positive impacts on the development of the innovation ecosystem; additionally. A case study of the local university–industry environment was conducted, and the evaluation showed that there is a positive correlation innovation networks and living lab structures.

Philanthropy in black higher education : a fateful hour creating the Atlanta University system
\"This work describes and analyzes the circumstances surrounding the creation and development of the Atlanta University System (later the Atlanta University Center). The affiliation in 1929 of Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College was a monumental event, and John Hope, the first black president of both Morehouse College and Atlanta University - and simultaneously president at both of them - was key to its taking place. In recounting the circumstances surrounding the affiliation, Vida L. Avery brings to the fore a little-told aspect of the affiliation: the relationships Hope cultivated with industrial philanthropists of his time. These relationships went beyond went beyond the simple categories of benefactor and recipient, playing a major role in creating a unique higher educational center for black Americans\"-- Provided by publisher.

Cooperation of Universities with Business in Poland and the USA – Perspective of Scientific Environment
University and business cooperation offers many benefits not only for the parties involved. It translates into innovation and competitiveness of the economy. The relationship encounters many barriers that are related to the environment (both internal and external) in which it is implemented. The aim of the article is to identify the determinants of university-business cooperation (areas of cooperation, barriers, motivations) and to point out recommendations from the perspective of scientists in Poland and the United States (USA). The experience of USA researchers can be used as a background for considerations about cooperation between universities and business in Poland, and as an example of good practices for the purpose of supporting and improving the analyzed relationships. The article focuses on selected determinants of university and business cooperation: areas of cooperation, barriers limiting it, motivations for cooperation and the possible options for its improvement (recommendations of researchers). In order to achieve the assumed goals, an individual, in-depth interview was conducted with the use of a questionnaire as the research tool. The presented results of the research showed significant differences between the models of university and business cooperation in Poland and the USA.
