MEd Higher Education Management
I am currently in the process of collecting my materials and projects. For now, I have a few writing samples available.

For the Master's Seminar, each student wrote a final thesis about a topic of their choosing. I selected sexual assault, looking specifically at the low number of reports that are made to staff members, the reasons behind such low reporting numbers, and possible methods for encouraging more reporting and mitigation.

For Politics & History of Higher Education, our term paper assignment was to write about a higher education issue. I chose to focus on racism in Greek life, particularly how it developed over the course of history and how it looks today to various stakeholders and in various regions of the US.

|
For Ethical Issues in Higher Education, one project was to watch a film which involves an ethical issue in higher education. In this paper I explored the student-professor relationship evident in A Single Man.

|
For Legal Aspects of Higher Education, each student chose to explore a legal issue, present a portfolio of relevant cases, and write a report on their research. I chose to explore college student suicide and explore the legal challenges cases can present to universities.

For our Student Services Management course, we gave practice job presentations for various theoretical jobs. I have given an example of how I would apply to a small public college for a Resident Director and Student Activities Coordinator position.

Each student in Social Justice in Higher Education led a different 30-minute class discussion based on class readings, at least one current event, and other resources of our choosing. My topic was heterosexism & sexual orientation. For discussion, I focused on current events (circa March 2016) which revolved around HB2 and trans rights. I also included readings on the law and how it benefits certain types of relationships, acephobia, and biphobia.
