When James F. Nickerson took the reins as the new president of Mankato State College in July 1966, the college was rapidly expanding. It was also a time of social unrest in the United States and in Mankato. "Two Weeks in May," uses historic photos, documents, newspapers, film footage, and recorded interviews, to tell the story of the 1972 Vietnam Was student protests at Mankato State College. Years after the events Nickerson would reminisce on those weeks in May 1972 and conclude, that it was a positive reflection of the American way. It was "democracy in action." -- Back cover. A film made possible by funding provided by Library Services, Minnesota State University, Mankato. With additional funding support from the Department of English at Minnesota State Mankato, the Minnesota State Mankato Foundation, and a grant provided by Prairie Lakes Regional Art Council from funds appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature. ; https://cornerstone.lib.mnsu.edu/university-archives-msu-authors/1423/thumbnail.jpg

Corporate volunteerism is a form of corporate philanthropy: employees volunteer in nonprofit organizations that are selected by corporations, and they do so under the supervision of the corporation, during working hours or on their free time. We analyze corporate volunteerism, both in France and in the United States, as a corporate policy, focusing on the roots of such policies, on the actors who develop them, on the actors targeted by them, and on their consequences. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first describes the historical, political and social contexts in which corporate volunteerism policies have emerged. The main themes are the importation by some French corporate officers of US volunteerism policies, American philanthropic culture and history, French paternalism, French and American nonprofit sectors, and the ways the American and French governments have promoted corporate volunteerism through tax policies and more symbolic measures. The second part focuses on the different actors encountered during fieldwork conducted in the Paris and New York areas: corporate officers in charge of philanthropy and volunteerism, corporate volunteers, union leaders and nonprofit workers in charge of corporate relations and volunteerism. This dissertation emphasizes the way volunteerism has been used by firms to promote their internal and public image, the transformations of the nonprofit sector as a result of corporate volunteerism, the priority given to corporate goals over social needs and the involvement of the corporate world in matters concerning the public good. ; Le bénévolat d'entreprise est une forme de mécénat qui consiste à encourager les salariés à être bénévoles auprès d'organisations non lucratives présélectionnées par les services de mécénat de l'entreprise, et ce sous les couleurs de celle-ci, pendant ou hors du temps de travail. Ces pratiques sont envisagées comme des politiques d'entreprise : il s'agit d'analyser, en France et aux Etats-Unis, leur genèse, les acteurs qui les portent et ...

Howard Solomon World War I Posters Collection Text reads: "HIS HOME OVER THERE - More Than 2000 Such Homes for Our Boys - United War Work Campaign, November 11th-18th" You may view an undamaged version at the Library of Congress: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/wwipos/item/00653324/ __________________________________________ WWI Poster Exhibition Labels for Area Gallery, Fall 2017 Created by students in Libby Bischof's Spring 2017 World War I: Culture, Politics, Memory class His Home Over There Albert Herter, 1918 Howard Solomon World War I Posters Collection Special Collections, University of Southern Maine This poster was designed by Albert Herter (1871-1950) for the United War Work fundraising campaign, which took place from November 11th through the 18th, 1918. Born in New York in 1871, Herter had a successful career in painting and interior design, as well as illustration. He began designing WWI posters in honor of his son Everit, who served and was killed in the war in 1918. The United War Work Campaign raised funds to help provide American soldiers overseas with the necessary essentials as well as entertainment to boost their morale such as: movies, libraries, gymnasiums, and swimming pools. President Wilson organized the United War Work Campaign fundraiser to raise 170 million dollars to help fund and pay for demobilization. The fundraiser lasted for a week and included organizations such as the YMCA, the YWCA, the American Library Association, the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army, and the Jewish Welfare Board. The weeklong campaign raised 203 million dollars--the largest fundraiser in history at that time. Many of the posters for the campaign, including this example for the Young Men's Christian Association, depicted soldiers enjoying food, playing games, or having a roof over their heads. These images, including the one before you, where soldiers are entering a YMCA building during a cold winter evening, resonated with the American people, and made them feel as though they had to help provide for their fellow Americans overseas fighting in the war. The YMCA operated 4000 huts and tents near the front lines that provided recreation and religious services for American soldiers in their allies, as well as 26 R&R leave centers for soldiers in France. YMCA staff and volunteers also sent over hundreds of entertainers, worked with prisoners of war, supervised canteens, and served on troop trains. They became an indispensible part of the war effort. --Wyatt Disney, Psychology, Class of 2018 --Paige Marcello, English, Class of 2020 ; https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/wwi_posters/1009/thumbnail.jpg

Drawing on their experience as teachers and social workers, the authors introduce students to the complex skills necessary for effective management in human service administration. In this textbook, they present actual problems through concise case studies with study-guide questions for discussion. The illustrative case studies cover a broad range of situations and dilemmas that a human services student can expect to encounter as an administrator - from sexual harassment to ethical concerns. By focusing on human service agencies, the authors fill a gap in social work literature for administrat

Service learning is an interdisciplinary pedagogical tool that is becoming increasing popular in schools. It involves students taking part in projects that are aimed at strengthening their communities and using tools to rigorously assess what they have learned from their experiences. This volume concentrates on service-learning projects with the goal of increasing tolerance. The author offers a look at social movements that have made our society more tolerant over time. He explains how students can establish and develop service-learning projects that address the persistent problem of intolerance and suggests which tools can best help them learn from their efforts

This book is about how water managers in the United States are responding to the call for increased effort to achieve sustainable supplies of clean fresh water for present and future generations. The author, himself a participant in the water supply chain, demonstrates that while water is indeed one of life's most essential commodities, in many parts of the United States it is one of the most stressed resources. Throughout the book the author illustrates both the good and the bad efforts taken or not taken by water and wastewater management with real life examples. This book will appeal to the educators, students, volunteers, elected officials, regulators, and other participants with a role in helping the suppliers of water and wastewater services to achieve their goals providing clean, safe water on a sustainable basis. David E. McNabb is Professor Emeritus and adjunct professor at Pacific Lutheran University, USA. He is an elected water and wastewater district commissioner for Hartstene Pointe Water and Sewer District. His previous works include A Comparative History of Commerce and Industry: Cultural, Social and Economic Perspectives in Britain, Germany, Japan and the United States (2015) and Energy Policy in the U.S. (2011).
