Keith Lang, a then college senior, and his mother, Lori, launched Global Logistics & Shipping Partners (GLS) overnight when an opportunity presented itself to secure a number of clients. From Week 1, they were focused on exceptional client support and service without any infrastructure in place. Holly Primrose, Keith’s long-time girlfriend, who still had a year left in college, jumped in to help. Now 15 years later, the business grew to 22 employees, while experiencing many revenue challenges. Keith and Holly worked tirelessly for 15 years straight with an equal focus on clients, ethics, and GLS’s employees. After having a family and investing in other endeavors, Keith and Holly found themselves in a position where they needed to make decisions regarding the future vision for GLS and themselves. They desired to remain engaged with GLS but also to spend as much time as possible with family and personal interests. The case provides information that allows students to apply Carlock and Ward's family business parellel planning process to evaluate a family business' goals, evaluate the owners' personal goals, and find synergies across professional and personal goals and visions.

Study purpose was to evaluate how select college experiences affect cognitive outcomes among racial/ethnic populations of first-generation students.  A nationwide dataset consisting of the 2006 The Freshman Survey (TFS) and the 2010 College Senior Survey (CSS) was utilized to address the research question.  Findings from this study suggest that select college experiences positively affect cognitive outcomes, but the magnitudes of these effects vary for racial/ethnic subpopulations.

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between participation in intramural sports and student satisfaction with the collegiate experience. In addition the study investigated differences among users of the program and amount of participation in regards to perceptions of student satisfaction. The study also introduced the Campus Recreation Participation Ladder as a heuristic model specific to campus recreation professionals (CRPL). The instrument used for testing the research questions was the College Senior Survey, developed and supplied by the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI). Scales were created for analysis of the data and were found to be reliable with a Cronbach's Alpha calculation of at least 0.7 for each scale. The results of the study indicated that there was a significant difference between users and nonusers regarding perceptions about satisfaction with academic life and satisfaction with campus life participation. No significant difference between users and nonusers was found on the scales of leadership and happiness, suggesting that participation in intramural sports has limited or no effect on a student's satisfaction with leadership development opportunities and overall happiness. Satisfaction levels of users based on the amount of participation were approaching significance and warrants further investigation. Implications of the results on the use of the CRPL are discussed and further suggestions for future research are listed.

A portrayal of Woodrow Wilson's legislative leadership and administive methods has more uses than as a reminder of achievements durably impressive in themselves. His practice partly answered his own unresolved thinking about the presidency; in turn it implied theories that serve as foils in looking at later developments. The centennial of Wilson's birth is a fitting time to recount the story drawing on memoirs that accumulated after his death. The emphasis may well be on domestic policy in view of the greater attention that has been given to Wilson's role in war and peace.First we must examine the prior development of Wilson's thinking about the presidency. Our concern is the working conception of the office of American elected chief executives that he had come to hold by the time of his full entrance into public life.As a college senior Wilson wrote on “Cabinet Government in the United States.” He deplored, as real cause of solicitude and doubt, “the absorption of all power by a legislature which is practically irresponsible for its acts.”
