Alumni

The aim of this article is to conceptualize and empirically examine the constructs that constitute the concept of Alumni Orientation (AO). Using a discovery-oriented approach, conducted by supplementing educational and marketing literatures with in-depth interviews from 22 alumni personnel in six different UK universities, the author identified three second-order formative constructs and three first-order reflective constructs to measure the concept of AO. The study then developed a self-administrated survey to validate the six identified constructs that form AO. Through using rigorous statistical analysis, the study confirms that the measurement instrument for AO is the 48 items that can be validly and reliably measured using the nine multi-item

For some time employers have identified that one of the most sought after graduate attributes is the ability to function as an effective member of a team. In the creative and performing arts disciplines, which are often individually oriented in nature, the development and implementation of curricula that enable students to attain high-level teamwork skills suitable for participation in multi-disciplinary collaboration is not only necessary but it can be challenging for both educators and students. Indeed the ability to evidence where and how students develop teamwork or collaborative skills will become increasingly critical, as a result of the impending standards framework that is soon to be implemented by the Tertiary Education Quality Standards Agency (TEQSA). This paper overviews the ways in which Creative Exchange, a multi-disciplinary teaching and learning capstone subject offered by the School of Creative Arts at James Cook University since 2009, provides direct evidence of the ways in which students develop strong teamwork skills and attributes. In addition to teamwork skills, students also continue to develop discipline-specific knowledge as well as insights into industry and community settings, given the work-integrated learning orientation of the projects themselves. Data obtained from creative and performing arts students and alumni who previously participated in Creative Exchange are analysed, in order to report on the extent to which they had achieved appropriate standards required for industry. In addition, ongoing benchmarking of the Creative Exchange model via consultations with national and international industry practitioners is presented to further contextualise the findings. The paper concludes by discussing future applications of the framework as well as a range of additional research directions and opportunities.

Higher Education Administration with Social Media explored the challenges and benefits of using social media in higher education, with an emphasis on answering questions that may emerge in the implementation and continued engagement of social media. This is the second volume in the JSARP

This qualitative case study explored the LGBTQ+ allyship affiliations of 16 participants, and their motivations for giving within a higher education and state-funded institution setting. The study utilized a primary theoretical framework, identity-based motivation, and two secondary frameworks, philanthropic mirroring, and identity-based philanthropy. All of the participants self-identified as heterosexual and cisgender, and had previously provided donations to LGBTQ+ specific campus programs and student initiatives. Participants were interviewed in one-on-one interviews that were recorded and transcribed. Three rounds of line-by-line coding were conducted that revealed inductive codes garnered from the participants’ interviews which revealed overall themes. This research study uncovered the reasons why heterosexual and cisgender people align themselves as LGBTQ+ allies on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community. The primary reason was relational due to having a family member or close friend identity as LGBTQ+. The secondary reason was found to be in the aspects of supporting social justice and equality for all. Participants’ responses revealed their LGBTQ+ allyship was an integral part of their personal and professional identities. The study also found that donors’ personal and professional relationships with the professional fundraiser were the primary reason for them making a gift. The secondary reason was the giving category itself, or in this case, an LGBTQ+ specific campus program or student initiative. This study provides emerging scholarship to overall philanthropy, and especially within the higher education philanthropy profession. These findings will be useful for providing a foundation of understanding on which to build existing allyship affiliations. These include donor cultivation and stewardship, combined with appeals, branding, and messaging to LGBTQ+ alumnx and allies. This study’s findings might enhance existing donor motivations in order to increase private support for higher education, especially to LGBTQ+ campus programs and student initiatives. Lacking an existing LGBTQ+ allyship theoretical framework, findings from this study facilitate the formation of a new theoretical framework: allyship-based motivation. This framework’s concept posits that one’s allyship toward causes oriented around diversity, equity, and inclusion, is an integral component of their being and self-identity. Collectively, these findings and new theoretical framework could be utilized to uncover additional opportunities for fundraising within higher education.

This study traced the general and employment data of graduate school alumni. It also assessed skills that the alumni acquired in their Master's Degree that are most useful in their jobs, the status of the graduate school program delivery & implementation and correlation aspect of selected variables. It was conducted using the descriptive research design. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain relative data. Majority of the Graduate School Alumni are married, female, resides in Region I, Philippines, they are holders of BSEd, BEED & BSAEd in their undergraduate degrees and possessed professional license having passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) and Licensure Examination for Agriculturist (LEA). Their top most reason for pursuing their Master's Degree is for professional development. In terms of employment they are permanent in their jobs. They are faculty and office personnel's, who are occupying good positions in the organizational hierarchy and have experienced being promoted after finishing their Master's Degree. Majority of the skills that are acquired by the Alumni were "Very Much Useful" to their present jobs. The status of program delivery and implementation is "Excellent" along the areas: VMGO, Faculty, Curriculum & Instructions, Administration while the other areas are "Very Good". The skills acquired by the alumni on Master's Degree are significantly related with their present jobs. The skills acquired by the alumni in their Master's Degree are significantly related with program delivery and implementation along VMGO, Faculty, Support to students, Extension and Physical Plant & Facilities. Results imply that the graduate school as an important component in the educational system shall plays a great role in providing quality advance higher education supportive to the emerging knowledge economy and global prosperity. Due to a growing emphasis on quality assurance in the educational system, there's a need to engage meaningfully in the delivery and implementation of programs to support the development of students' essential skills for various professions which they shall articulate in the work place.

At present, there is a job-crisis and it's very hard to find jobs for fresher students. Even if the students are having good talent, they are not able to find the right job. Some students are employed, but not at the place where they really should be. So, this Student Alumni job portal helps the employees to find job vacancies appropriately online. Then alumni students can post the job opening in their organization or any other opening they come across and view their profile from and contact if they expect from those students to be suitable for particular vacancy. So, hidden talent can be come out. In this portal there will be a direct interaction between the alumni and the students to find the jobs in related to their job preferences. Most of the time students depend on the job portals for finding the jobs. This is a novel approach for findings the jobs from their seniors or their faculty members. We have three roles in the project student, alumni and admin for the portal.

JKUAT advances "elimu bora"; quality education. It is proud of its alumni. Graduation is not the end of learning. It is just a confirmation of a glimpse into the world of knowledge and thus we forge forth with the "power to read". As JKUAT celebrates the 25th Graduation, the JKUAT Alumni Association beseeches the alumni, past, present and future to stand up and be counted among the best in the Grateful Graduate Index. In everything trusting God to grant us favor in service to God and humanity.

— The Student Alumni System provides the way in which alumni can stay connected with college which has been very important part of their memory. SAS does not connect only college with its alumni but also it connects current students of college and its alumni. So that the bond between existing students and pass-out students will become strong and there will be direct flow of information between them. SAS have features for both existing student and alumni like Content Management System, Discussion Groups (Forums), Career Center, Marks Revaluation System, SMS Notification etc. We understand the importance of "staying connected" & therefore structured a portal which is equipped to let you connect, build credibility and expand upon the Graduates.

This paper would make some crucial assumptions from the outset viz.
• That the mission statements and activities of Alumni Associations in most Nigeria’s higher institutions lack the appropriate mechanism and strategies for effective administration and participatory management skills in the governing processes and organization development.
• That absence or erosion of requisite alumni culture and tradition to stimulate formidable and continuous alumni presence in the higher institutions through collaborative action and cooperative activities is an inherent factor in the context of Nigeria educational system.
• That the situation is further worsened by the nature of Nigerian society characterized by intense competition for personal and social recognition, due to divided interest and power struggles that undermines membership growth and participation in alumni activities.
• That there is an urgent need to review issues of conflicts, the environment of conflict management and resolutions in the Alumni Association of Nigeria’s tertiary institutions through interactions, dialogue and continuous training foe leadership and mentoring.
• That Alumni Association should be properly situated to develop attainable and well known mission, organization and activities towards playing its roles while eschewing politics of bitterness and division which paralyses or reduces the purpose and gains of alumni bodies.

On the basis of the foregoing assumptions, the topic is reconceived as: “CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AND RESOLUTIONS IN NIGERIA HIGHER INSTITUTIONS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS: A Personal Experience and Observations’’ To further do a justice to this topical issue, we can quickly review the keywords that sum up the conceptual framework of the lecture:
• The place of alumni association in their former institutions for the renewal of scholarship, academic linkages and social connections
• The direction of national policies in the management of tertiary institutions and attainment of national development 
• Understanding the diversity of academic communities and orientation with probabilities of conflict, intense competition and the need to manage it without destroying alumni fabrics and spirit
• Understanding conflicts, conflict resolutions and management in using tools of organizational mechanisms and institutional objectives to attain world class strategies and effective collaboration, cooperative spirit and sustainable participation in alumni associations
• Examine few cases of conflicts in alumni bodies and the danger to alumni growth and development from the flow of public perception on the image of the academic communities where conflicts are externalized and not well managed.

Ringkasan laporan yang telah dilaksanakan sepanjang tahun 2018. Laporan ini merangkumi aktiviti pelajar, pegawai dan pensyarah bagi semua program yang ada di Kolej Komuniti Jempol bersama industri. Laporan ini juga merangkumi aktiviti bersama alumni sepanjang tahun 2018.

This article reexamines the role and influence of University of Michigan alumni (“Michigan Men”) in the Insular Government of the American-occupied Philippines during the Progressive Era. It contends that, due to the lack of an undisputed unifying figure around which to rally — such as future President William Howard Taft for the alumni of Yale, and Governor-General W. Cameron Forbes for graduates of Harvard — their contribution to the governance of the Philippine Archipelago at this time remains undeservedly overshadowed by that of their Ivy League contemporaries. The piece also explores tensions among leading members of the University of Michigan Alumni Association of the Philippine Islands over the constitutional future of the archipelago, and examines shifts in the thought of this sample regarding the capacity of Filipinos for clean, efficient, and representative (“Anglo-Saxon style”) self-government.

This study was conducted to analyze the performance of the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) 2013 graduates of the University of Northern Philippines (UNP). It determined the academic achievement in three subject components such as general, professional, and specialization and performance along the components of the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). The relationship of academic achievement to LET performance was also looked into. This study employed the descriptive method of research which is a combination of documentary analysis and correlation designs. The data gathered were treated statistically using mean and Simple Correlation Analysis. The findings showed that the respondents exhibited good academic achievement, most of the examinees passed the LET in all the components. There was a higher percentage of passer than non-passer in the LET. Academic achievement is significantly related to LET performance. Educational Institutions should continue to seek professional development ventures for the improvement of teaching competence and professional preparations. Thus, come out with quality output in the success of board examination leading graduates towards employment.

This study aimed to determine the extent of satisfaction and adequacy of the knowledge and skills that graduates have obtained from PNU in connection to their current employment. The data were gathered through a validated survey questionnaire and were interpreted using frequencies and percentages. The study made use of convenience sampling and the survey was administered both online and face to face. There were 1,826 PNU alumni from various programs, both graduate and undergraduate levels from 2010 to 2018 who served as respondents of this study. Findings revealed that competencies and skills learned by PNU alumni at the university, Human Relations Skills, Communication Skills, and Knowledge and Technical Skills have been considered as the most recognized and relevant of all the skills as viewed to a large extent. In terms of adequacy of the skills learned at PNU, the alumni respondents indicates that critical thinking skills, communication skills, human relations skills, and content knowledge are adequate at great extent. Still, it is highly recommended that improvement of research skills and ICT skills shall be given emphasis in the curricular enhancement.

Higher education institutions in the United States of America hold prestigious positions in the international academic mobility context. Public diplomacy finds in education a strategic means to spread the language and culture of this country, in which an increasing number of students embrace the idea of internationalization of their curriculum going towards this nation, promoting intellectual interchanges between the involved states in the exchange of students. Considering this scenario, the present work revises and consults official documents and data of the U.S. government, as well as the existing related academic literature, with the objective of investigating the educational apparatus as a vital Soft Power tool for the maintenance of the North-America's hegemony, in which the Department of State, from its Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, plays a major role as a government agency that diffuses the cultural content of this country.

Keeping in mind the inevitable drift between alumni and institution, universities ought to ensure that the alumni are kept updated, so they can stay connected with and keep side by side on the advancement of the institution. Great graduated class connections bring numerous advantages to both the establishment and the graduated class. As alumni of the organisation, graduated classes have an extraordinary association with the college and are, ideally, a sizeable portion of its progressively steadfast supporters. The capable graduated class will have an abundance of experience and aptitudes to impart to current understudies through talks and pamphlets. The article talks about the connect of CHRIST (Deemed to be university) with the alumni, that are said to be the backbones of the university. There is a strap between the importance of a connect, for alumni and for the benefit of the university. As an alma mater, the importance is of these relations are explained from the beginning of their course to the students, through interactions with alumni at the very start. The study also talks about the various departments of the university, and their relations with the alumni. Each department benefits in a different way, and these are reflected in the growth and excellence of the university. The article with elaborate on the importance and the concept of alumni.

This paper aims to show how important it is for Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to be involved in the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) of alumni. The authors provide a model to show the value added to the product by CPD. This paper proposes ways in which institutions can make the best of the relationship with the student at each level proposed in the model. The major findings were that HEIs should get involved in CPD for its Alumni and CPD provides increased value to products of HEIs. Implications were that HEIs have a role to play in the CPD of their Alumni. This is the first study to introduce the Value- Adding CPD Knowledge Cycle Model.

ABSTRAK Subjek Keusahawanan merupakan subjek yang telah diterapkan seawal pendidikan peringkat rendah di Malaysia. Menyedari kepentingan pendidikan keusahawanan untuk membekalkan pelajar dengan peluang dan potensi bagi memilih kerjaya sebagai seorang usahawan, Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi telah menunjukkan komitmen mereka terhadap perlaksanaannya khususnya melalui Kolej Komuniti. Subjek Keusahawanan merupakan subjek yang perlu diambil oleh semua pelajar bagi setiap program yang di tawarkan di Kolej Komuniti. Berdasarkan usaha tersebut, kajian ini dilakukan bagi menilai kesan pendidikan keusahawanan terhadap aprisasi pelajar dalam memilih keusahawanan sebagai kerjaya. Tinjauan awal mendapati pelajar menjalankan aktiviti perniagaan seperti yang terdapat di dalam silibus pelajaran dengan penuh semangat dan jayanya. Kajian ini dilaksanakan adalah untuk mengkaji adakah minat dan kesungguhan yang ditunjukkan dapat melahirkan pelajar ini menjadi seorang usahawan. Oleh itu, seramai 46 orang pelajar Kolej Komuniti Selandar telah dipilih sebagai responden bagi kajian ini. Kaedah penilaian yang dilakukan ialah melalui borang kajian soal selidik. Data yang dikumpul dianalisa melalui perisian SPSS versi 23. Data menunjukkan dari segi faktor penerimaan terhadap subjek keusahawanan mempunyai tahap penerimaan yang tinggi, Manakala tahap minat alumni untuk menjadi usahawan berada pada tahap sederhana dan tahap kekangan alumni untuk menjadi usahawan juga tinggi. Oleh itu dapat disimpulkan bahawa subjek keusahawanan yang di ajar ketika mereka di Kolej Komuniti Selandar dapat mempengaruhi minat mereka terhadap bidang ini namun disebabkan faktor kekangan seperti tidak mendapat sokongan dari ahli keluarga dan faktor modal telah menyebabkan mereka masih menangguhkan hasrat mereka untuk menjadi seorang usahawan.

Research on alumni giving behaviour is a very regular feature in the West, which is not limited to the factors which encourage the alumni to give back to the alma mater but also focus on the ideal actions by the alma mater to improve or build better alumni relationships. An alumnus giving back to the alma mater takes can take any form such financial, social, etc. Alumni giving behaviour is valuable to a university, and requires a great understanding of alumni constituents in order to attract the appropriate responses. Alumni at all ages and life stages have much to offer to their alma mater, and it is vital to understand the dimensions of giving behaviour of alumni which will prompt the ideal actions or reactions a university is seeking. Our research broadly identifies five dimensions of alumni giving behaviour-financial giving, social giving, charitable giving, emotional giving and mentorship-oriented giving.

The aim of this study is to integrate knowledge mapping technique by applying information flow analysis to facilitate the collaboration between the university and its alumni by developing a knowledge mapping-based system based on a designed knowledge mapping model. Questionnaire was employed to collect data from respondents in a university to evaluate the applicability of the developed system. The collected data was further analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Descriptive and exploratory factor analysis was carried out to analyze the collected data by deploying test of normality, reliability, validity, and factor analysis. Results from descriptive analysis reveal that the developed system is applicable in facilitating alumni collaboration. Besides, results indicate that the developed system provides holistic and comprehensive knowledge support among alumni members to improve communication. Moreover, this study offers a methodological and comprehensive procedure to support interaction and provides information to alumni members. Theoretically, this study depicts how the designed knowledge mapping model defines, organizes, and develops procedural knowledge in order to explore and address communication inadequacy among alumni members. Practically, this study utilized knowledge mapping as a technique to visualize the source and flow of tacit and explicit knowledge for university alumni collaboration.

While forensics is well known as an activity devoted to the pursuit of excellence in public speaking, debate and literary performance, forensics also represents a community of scholars committed to intellectual scholarship and insightful practical and pedagogical research. These academic pursuits are further advanced when forensic scholarship is based on solid theoretical frameworks that offer analytical depth and enhance legitimacy in academic forums. This essay proposes collective memory as a research framework for forensic scholarship. Collective memory is a rich theoretical perspective, inviting considerations of such themes as the emergence and remembrance of forensic legends, roles of alumni, perspectives of successes and failures, rituals of commemorating the past, team traditions, and how history is communicated. The essay provides an overview of these by using a collective memory theoretical perspective.

This paper explores the phenomenon of Alumni at IDASA, a leading public interest organization promoting active citizenship and democracy in Africa.  A number of Alumni models are surveyed and a value chain analysis conducted on these models.  The centrality of a reciprocal relation between the institution producing Alumni and its Alumni is found.

Project Office, Leeds Beckett University's in-house staff and student led architectural practice launched an alumni ideas competition for the Sustainable Technologies and Landscape Research Centre (STaLRC). The winning entry established the design and the winning team were engaged in a design consultancy role for further development of the work. This case study describes an exploration of the architectural competition format through experimenting with alumni pedagogy. The institution's association with its students is almost severed once they become alumni. By extending pedagogy, through a competition, new possibilities have arisen between this School of Architecture and its recent former students, and for academia and practice. The case study explains a procedural exploration through the STaLRC competition, starting with defining the competition through a Design Guide 'brief' produced by second year undergraduate students of architecture. The role of Project Office as the educational and practice choreographer sets the distinctive anchoring of the project. The competition process, managed by the writers, deals with the duality of providing a 'winning' design that meets client's complex requirements e.g. affordability, and the setting of an equally important educational purpose. This paper considers how an architectural competition, used as a pedagogic tool, is harnessed in a post formal educational setting. An output for example is that alumni competitions can be legitimately situated in the (Continuing Professional Development) CPD framework, viably enabling UK schools of architecture to participate, fulfilling a professional developmental remit. In conclusion, as the STaLRC competition is framed in an educational setting, the learning outcomes of participants are of equal importance to the quality of entries. This methodology ensures continued pedagogical value in the transition between education and profession. Recent alumni are vital and unencumbered, fledgling professionals and through the setting of this competition have been provided with their space to fledge.

I documenti conservati presso l'Archivio Storico dell'Università di Pavia nel fascicolo relativo a Gianni Brera 1 vanno dal 1938, anno dell'iscrizione all'Ateneo pavese, al 1952, anno in cui risulta una sua «richiesta urgente» di un certificato di laurea («senza voto») datata 30 aprile. Tra le carte che evidentemente dovette consegnare per perfezionare l'iscrizione, risulta il diploma di Maturità scientifica, conseguito a Milano il 9 settembre 1938 presso il regio liceo "Vittorio Veneto" (vd. ): e forse sarà poco prevedibile che i voti migliori siano quelli in Disegno e Cultura militare (mentre arriva solo al sei in Lettere italiane e Lettere latine). È milanese solo l'esame con cui conclude il percorso scolastico medio-superiore: un altro documento universitario, infatti, lo indica come studente del liceo scientifico "Torquato " di Pavia. La domanda d'iscrizione («il dì 27-10-1938 [...] fa rispettosa domanda affinché sia ammesso e iscritto a codesta Regia Università, e precisamente alla Facoltà di Scienze politiche») presenta una nota supplementare a matita: «Giovanni Luigi Brera non appartenente alla razza ebraica» 2 . Il fascicolo naturalmente include l'elenco degli esami sostenuti con relativa votazione. Spiccano i 30 e lode in Storia moderna 3 e in Storia politica coloniale 4 , e i 30 ottenuti agli esami di Istituzioni di diritto pubblico, Geografia politica ed economica, Dottrina dello Stato e Storia delle dottrine politiche. Dai documenti risulta che al corso di Sociologia preferì quello di Storia del Risorgimento, mutuato dalla Facoltà di Lettere. (vd. ) Oltre a varie copie del certificato di laurea (conseguita il 27 ottobre 1942), tra le carte risultano anche i titoli delle tesi orali e scritte presentate dal candidato. Il conseguimento del titolo, infatti, prevedeva la discussione di una «tesi di laurea orale» (L'Utopia di Tommaso Moro, con relatore Vittorio Beonio Brocchieri 5 ), e tre «tesine» complementari (L'Egitto nel passato e nell'avvenire, con relatore Franco Borlandi 6 ; La Turchia nel medio Oriente, con relatore 1 Questa la collocazione archivistica dei documenti che si citano: ARCHIVIO DI DEPOSITO DELL'UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PAVIA, Fascicoli studenti, Fascicolo Gianni Brera (n. matr. 608). L'Archivio storico, con sede a palazzo San Tommaso, conserva le carte amministrative dell'Ateneo pavese successive all'Unità d'Italia ed è stato ufficialmente aperto al pubblico il 28 maggio 2007. 2 Forse di poco successiva (le leggi razziali fasciste furono approvate dal Consiglio dei Ministri nel novembre 1938). 3 Titolare dell'insegnamento era Nino Cortese (vd. http://prosopografia.unipv.it/docenti/docente/3276/), al quale succederà Franco Valsecchi nel 1941-42. 4 Titolare dell'insegnamento era Franco Borlandi, vd. infra. 5 Vittorio Beonio Brocchieri, anche giornalista (prima alla Gazzetta del popolo, poi, per trent'anni al Corriere della Sera) e narratore, a Pavia era professore incaricato (dal 1927-28), straordinario (dal 1939-40) e, infine, ordinario (1942-1943) di Storia delle dottrine politiche. I corsi di quegli anni vertevano sui fondamenti della coscienza politica nel mondo romano (vd.

We examined the association between socio-structural intergroup characteristics (i.e., permeability of group boundaries, legitimacy of status difference between ingroup and outgroups, stability of status difference) and students' intention to join the university alumni association. Prior theory and research suggests that group members assess the intergroup context to direct identity management strategies (e.g., leave group, collective action). College students in their last semester at a university were asked to rate the perceived socio-structural characteristics of the ingroup (compared to other universities) and their intention to join the alumni association. The results showed that perceiving one's ingroup as legitimately high status and in a stable intergroup context predicted greater intention to join the alumni association. Consistent with prior theory, the results suggest that viewing one's ingroup as legitimately high status predicts endorsement of actions to maintain a positive and distinct identity.

As principals become aware of comprehensive school counseling programs, they will be better prepared to ensure counselors facilitate students' learning, social emotional needs, and college and career readiness, rather than engage in inappropriate tasks such as substitute teaching, standardized testing, or student discipline. We conducted a program review based on a survey of graduates who are current principals, to identify areas for improvement towards the above in our principal preparation program. Survey results revealed significant differences between how principals report counselors are being supported to perform standards-based tasks based on school size in five areas regarding the role of the counselor and time spent performing counselor-related duties. Open-ended responses indicate that there are gaps in our preparation, such as a lack of curriculum and activities focused on counselor roles, that must be addressed in order to prepare them to effectively support counselors.

Education is the basic response to challenges of the socio-economic status of a nation. The higher education, particularly, is tasked to develop human resources that will become a productive and relevantly employed member of the society. One of the important metrics in the implementation of the quality and relevant education is the realization of the graduates of the program in attaining their professional goals. Anchored on the concept that tracking system is a vital basis of information to determine the status of graduates of academic programs, this descriptive study aims at specifying the profile of the graduates of a Teacher Education Institution in their current employment and earned employability skills. Through the use of an institutionally crafted instrument adapted from the Commission on Higher Education, a total of 178 graduates from 2009 to 2017 identified via criterion-referenced purposive sampling positively responded to the survey instrument. Analysis revealed that the...

At the end of a year full of Covid-fuelled change and upheaval, a team of Communication Design staff presented an inaugural symposium aimed at graduating students. The one-day event – “Design Futures” – assembled and presented a variety of professional design approaches to practices experienced by our alumni – students who have completed our programme and are now working in the industry.

Times have never been bleaker for our graduating communication designers. Unofficial attempts at monitoring graduate employment outcomes lead us to believe that over the past 12 years most of our graduates (over 80 percent) have found design-related work within 18 months of graduation. More formal surveys produced by Otago Polytechnic support these figures. However, in 2020 we acknowledged that the Covid-19 pandemic had reduced opportunities for travel, and had created an employment-averse industry.

Purpose
Most evaluations of quality
improvement and patient safety
(QI/PS) training programs provide
inadequate data on their impact
on alumni careers and QI/PS
involvement. To address this gap,
the authors investigated continued
participation in and barriers to QI/PS
work, employment, and satisfaction
with training among alumni of the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
Chief Resident in Quality and Safety
(CRQS) program.
Method
A cross-sectional, web-based survey was
administered in January 2018 to all 238 CRQS program alumni (program years
2009–2017, 54 program sites).
Results
A total of 145 alumni (61%) completed
the survey, of whom 40% were
employed at the VA. Participants
reported various professional roles
including academic appointments, QI/PSspecific
positions, and hospital leadership
positions. Most respondents reported
involvement in QI/PS activities within
the past year, including conducting QI
or PS projects and teaching QI or PS.
Alumni dedicated a median 15% of their
work time to QI/PS. Almost all alumni
reported experiencing barriers to QI/PS
involvement, most frequently lack of time
given clinical responsibilities. Most were
satisfied with the training, and almost all
reported CRQS participation helped their
professional career advancement.
Conclusions
The continued involvement in QI/
PS reported by alumni suggests
training programs such as the CRQS
program may be successful in building
a workforce of leaders equipped to
conduct and teach QI/PS. Dedicated
time for QI/PS efforts is an important
barrier. Future research should address
possible career options and assess the
larger, overall effect training physicians
in QI/PS has on health systems and
patient care.

Zusammenfassung: Während Internatsgymnasien in Deutschland im öffentlichen Diskurs wiederholt als Stätten von Elitebildung thematisiert werden, ist bislang kaum etwas über die tatsächliche internatsschulische Sozialisation und ihre Bedeutung für die nachschulischen Biografie- und Berufsverläufe der Ehemaligen bekannt. Davon ausgehend werden Forschungsfragen entwickelt, um die biografische Bedeutung des Internatsbesuchs, die Selbstentwürfe und die Lebensverläufe von ehemaligen Internatsschülerinnen und -schülern zu untersuchen. Im Zuge dessen werden zudem Internatsgymnasien theoretisch-konzeptionell dimensioniert, theoretische Schlüsselkonzepte zur Untersuchung der Bildungs- und Berufsbiografien von ehemaligen Internatsgymnasiastinnen und -gymnasiasten dargestellt und heuristische Annahmen formuliert.

Abstract: While boarding schools in Germany are repetitively discussed as sites of elite education in public discourses, little is known about the actual boarding school socialisation, its significance for the post-school biography, and careers of former students, so far. Drawing on this desiderate research questions are developed to examine the biographical relevance of the boarding school attendance, the self-concepts and the trajectories of former boarding school students. In the course of this, boarding schools are dimensioned theoretically and conceptually as socialisation places.
