Globalization and Sweatshop Labor: the Role of Student Activism in Educational Institutions and Ethical Business
No full textThis thesis describes how student activism changed the way the University handled garments sold in the University\u27s bookstore. Describing her experience implementing the Sweatshop Free Policy on the Regis University campus, the author talks about the many important steps made towards making the University 100% sweatshop free. She describes her excitement in seeing changes that happened at Regis and believes further implementation of the policy is crucial in order for Regis to live up to its ethical standards as they are laid out in the Jesuit tradition. She further advocates the Sweatshop Free Policy should be revised and scrutinized as it continues to grow in the years to come, as alternative options for sweatshop free apparel become more readily available. _______________________________________________________________________

"Welcome to the third issue of Clothing Cultures. We are honoured to have served as the guest editors for this issue.

These themes are at the core of fashion and dress: as an everyday individual and social project, and as a system in which people and objects (clothing) globally circulate. The performance of identity (Goffman 1979; Butler 1990), social practices and the movement of people and commodities (Appadurai 1986, 1996) create and transfer cultural meanings...
Towards Establishing a Change Management Process at an Academic Research Laboratory Network
No full textThis report focuses on the evaluation and development of a change management process for the Regis University Academic Research Network (ARNe), and specifically the SEAD Practicum. The author originally proposed expanding on a security audit performed on the ARNe in 2008, and researched, evaluated and presents several risk assessment methodologies. This broad approach was later focused on the practical aspects of developing a change management process for the ARNe/SEAD Practicum, based on researching applicable standards and best practice guidance. A management questionnaire and user survey were developed and distributed to obtain valuable opinions and perspectives from the individuals most directly involved with the administration and use of the ARNe and SEAD Practicum portal
Integrating Jesuit Core Values and Service Learning for Successful Marketing Classes at Regis University
No full textThe first section of this article identifies four Jesuit values and describes their meaning relevant to a teaching environment. Next the article defines and describes service learning from the faculty member and Regis University perspective. The next section describes how each of these Jesuit values is integrated in a meaningful and relevant way into a marketing course using a service learning project as the vehicle to demonstrate their meaning. The author uses examples from her Advertising and Promotion and Consumer Behavior marketing classes to illustrate these concepts. The author teaches accelerated classes for non-traditional students. This means the classes are held once a week for four hours for either five or eight weeks. The students are comprised of adults with families and careers. These examples are from classes taught in the classroom, but she has also adapted them to online classes as well
The DIANA underground accelerator facility project at DUSEL laboratory
No full textThe DIANA project (Dakota Ion Accelerators for Nuclear Astrophysics) is a collaboration between the University of Notre Dame, Colorado School of Mines, Regis University, University of North Carolina, Western Michigan University, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, to build a next generation nuclear astrophysics accelerator facility deep underground. The DIANA accelerator facility is being designed to achieve large laboratory reaction rates by delivering high ion beam currents (up to 100 mA) to a high density (up to 1018 atoms/cm2), super-sonic jet-gas target. The accelerator developments of the DIANA facility are presented here. © Copyright owned by the author(s)
