When Washington Burned: The British Invasion of the Capital and a Nation\u27s Rise from the Ashes
No full textPerhaps no other single day in U.S. history was as threatening to the survival of the nation as August 24, 1814, when British forces captured Washington, D.C. This unique moment significantly altered the nation’s path forward, but the event and the reasons behind it are little remembered by most Americans.
Distinguished professor of American history at Lynn University Robert P. Watson examines the British campaign and American missteps that led to the fall of Washington during the War of 1812. He analyzes the actions of key figures on both sides, such as President James Madison and General William Winder and Britain’s Rear Admiral George Cockburn and Major General Robert Ross.
Watson pinpoints the reasons the campaign was such a disaster for the United States and covers the stories of the courageous young clerks and the bold first lady, Dolley Madison, who risked their lives to save priceless artifacts and documents, including the Constitution, from the flames. The British invasion was repulsed over the following weeks and months, and the United States ultimately emerged stronger.

Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Support for STEM Students With Learning Disabilities in Higher Education and Workforce Transition
No full textStudents with learning disabilities (LDs) represent a significant portion of the U.S. college population, yet they continue to face systemic barriers in STEM education and career transitions. This research examines the historical context, current challenges, and future opportunities for enhancing support for STEM students with LDs in higher education. A review of literature highlights gaps in instructional practices, faculty preparedness, and institutional support that affect both academic success and workforce readiness. The study emphasizes the importance of accessible technologies, inclusive pedagogies, mentorship, and experiential learning opportunities such as internships. Recommendations are provided for improving transition strategies and fostering long-term employability in STEM industries. Continued research and policy innovation are essential to ensuring equitable, inclusive pathways for neurodivergent students entering the STEM workforce

Faculty Perceptions of Diversity and Its Impact on Postsecondary Student Success: A Case Study in a Business School
No full textThis case study investigates the way in faculty perceives the function of diversity in molding student success and institutional inclusiveness under a business school’s context. Conducting a mixed-methods survey of faculty, the study examines the question, does diverse faculty representation influence student retention, classroom engagement, and academic performance? Findings reveal robust agreement amongst faculty that diversity makes learning environments more inclusive, promotes student well-being and creates supportive mentor relationships with desirable influence to student persistence and success. The qualitative responses show the implication of culturally responsive teaching practices and inclusive faculty–student relationships, especially to underrepresented students. Although this assumes an increase in diversity initiatives, faculty respondents urge an institutional investment in mentorship programs and employment strategies that better represent the current student population. These insights drive conversations on postsecondary equity by emphasizing the impact of faculty composition on student learning outcomes. The findings offer also practical implications for institutional policy aimed at improving equity, retention, and student success through faculty diversity initiatives. Future research should incorporate student voices to build a more comprehensive understanding of faculty diversity’s impact on postsecondary student success.

Conference Attendance Increases Undergraduate Student Research Identity, Self-Efficacy, and Skills, Especially for Underrepresented Groups
No full textNumerous studies have demonstrated the positive impacts of undergraduate research experiences on student success. Far less studied is the impact of conference attendance on undergraduate researchers. This study investigated that impact via pre-post surveys of students attending the 2025 Florida Undergraduate Research Conference. Our results show that undergraduate attendees experienced a significant increase in self-efficacy and research identity, but not research community values. Furthermore, all attendees reported improvements in research-related skills, with 90% reporting improvement in all six skill areas measured. These skill improvements were generally greater for underrepresented groups. These results demonstrate the value of including conference attendance in undergraduate research experiences
