Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd dont tell me what to do just send money to read.

When addressing transitional programming for admitted students, Perigo and Upcraft (1989) indicated that the “critical components of these programs are the increased time with continuing students, time to interact with the campus environment, including residence-hall visits, sitting in on actual classes, and department or program-level individual appointments” (p. 87). All of these components were offered through special programs for admitted students in the spring semester of 2000 by the Office of Orientation and New Student Programs at a Midwestern, public, mid-size, doctoral-intensive institution. The purpose of this study was to determine if program participants in admitted student programs matriculated and persisted at greater rates than admitted students who did not participate in admitted student programs. In the past, the recruitment funnel was concerned primarily with increasing enrollment through the recruitment of new students. Tinto and Wallace (1986) wrote, “many academic officials believe the survival of their institution depends on maintaining, if not increasing, college enrollments. As a result, most institutions have adopted the obvious strategy: emphasizing recruitment” (p. 290). However, the number of students leaving college without completing degrees also has a negative impact on enrollment. Retention is important because

Pursuing a doctorate poses myriad challenges and intellectual risks to students (Austin, 2003; Golde, 2000; Twale & Kochan, 2000); however, risk is believed to be the way to progress, innovation, and creativity (Kehrer, 1989). Professionals will be expected to deal with risks encountered on their jobs, yet the topic has received limited coverage in the higher education literature (Stein & Short, 2001; Weidman, Twale, & Stein, 2001; Zhang & Strange, 1992). If we expect leaders to undertake the risks associated with systemic change and reform, we must first understand risk-taking behavior and the role it plays in the lives of students preparing to be those leaders. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how an entering cohort of students dealt with risk and intellectual risk-taking behavior both as individuals and as a group in their first year of a doctoral program. Insights from this group not only may inform entering doctoral students but also students entering all phases of college in terms of their ability to address risk and take risks.

The university was founded on a tradition of liberal arts education, but in recent years, attention to these fields has diminished. The current study examined the hiring of liberal arts graduates by businesses, in the hopes that orientation professionals can use the findings to help new students overcome fears and misconceptions about the value of a liberal arts degree.
