With planning and forethought, freshmen can be empowered to own their own destiny and achieve success independently on both the personal and professional levels. To help freshmen rise to the myriad challenges that await, I’d like to offer five suggestions to keep in mind during the first semester and beyond.

Career Success- Is It All About the Money?
The Huffington Post online
2016-04-06
How should we measure career success? Happiness? Wealth? Work/life balance? Being able to contribute to society? Loving what you do for a living? A recent report by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce says career success is based primarily on earning potential. The research showed that while the more secure, non-manual-labor jobs are going to those with bachelor’s degrees, the best—and most lucrative—careers most often go to college graduates who major in fields that include engineering and pharmaceutical sciences, rather than concentrations that encourage public service, such as social work and education. The study found that African Americans, in particular, are at a disadvantage because they often major in these lesser paying fields. Its authors went on to say that colleges should be encouraging African Americans to pursue careers that allow them to make the most money. While the report’s authors agreed that it is hard to criticize anyone who wants to serve the community, they concluded that these majors just don’t pay in America.
NY Lawmakers Unite to Confront ‘Students for Justice in Palestine’ on CUNY Campuses
Jewish Voice online
2016-04-06
CUNY has long supported the formation of groups that allow students to unite based on religion or ethnicity. The students who have engaged in creating a community based on their common interests has been known to be peaceful and gave administration, faculty and students a clear understanding for their involvement. Many have educated others on their purpose for joining, vision and have been able to host fundraisers that support their various causes. It is not likely to be a qualm between groups but rather mutual respect for others groups. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that one group has been under the microscope for their unacceptable behavior. Some students who are part of the group Students for Justice in Palestine, have been under private investigation by CUNY officials for allegedly harassing Jewish students. It's been said that they have been projecting anti-Semitic slurs and boasting of their desire to boycott Israel on four CUNY campuses.

Immunization: The Best Weapon Against the Resurgent Threat of Whooping Cough
Orthodox Union online
2016-02-17
Many Americans, in the Jewish and other communities, are skeptical of medical scientific recommendations, particularly when they involve mandates. The reasons are complex but include a concern about profit motives creating bias, scientific fraud, a sense that “natural” interventions are better and a skepticism about science especially when it contradicts religious belief. While all these concerns are understandable, there are times when the medical evidence is strong and solid and it has been clearly shown without any doubt that certain treatments are life-saving, cost effective and beneficial. Vaccines are such a case.

The art of listening has been known to build relationships, create collaboration, generate understanding and minimize conflict. Those who work to develop this skill truly want to understand the perspective of another -- a spouse, employee, child, friend, colleague. And yet, despite the known psychological, educational and societal benefits, this skill is in short supply on college campuses today. And when listening becomes a lost art, learning is threatened.

Such mischaracterizations do a disservice to the labor movement, as it minimizes how crucial the workforce is to the overall health and prosperity of our country.

The Judicial Board of UCLA's Undergraduate Students Association Council, which reviews cases of actions taken among the officers and commissioners to ensure compliance with the governing body of the Undergraduate Students Association, initially rejected the nomination of a Jewish student, because they felt she could not be “objective” due to her religion and strong affiliation with the Jewish community. The student, Rachel Beyda, was almost excluded despite excellent grades and a keen interest in the law. The board later reconsidered and some members apologized after a faculty adviser pointed out that merely belonging to Jewish groups did not pose a conflict of interest.
