Cloud-based Land Change Modeler Application:
Summer Internship with Clark Labs, Worcester, MA
Lei Rong
This report provides a detailed illustration of my internship experience with Clark Labs in Worcester, MA, during the summer of 2015. The internship is about two Land Change Modeler projects which conducted by Esri. The first one is a cloud-based Land Change Model on ArcGIS online for professional change analysts. Another one is a free cloud-based App for land change analysts and the public to explore land change of 48 states in United State. This work mainly relied on TerrSet skills and Land Change Modeler skills. As an GIS analyst, my responsibilities were data extraction, preparation, and modeling test. In June 6th, I started my internship at Clark Labs, and am continuing work till now. I think I gained a lot GIS and non-GIS experience during this time period. In an academic perspective, I got a full understanding of Land Change Modeler and TerrSet during this time period. Socially, I made a connection with students and staffs in Clark Labs. Overall, it is a great experience to me!

My dear Sallie:
I would be glad to come home today if it were not for the apt. at Acton. I hope to get a letter from you this evening.
All are well here, and able to disperse of full share of rations. There is a pretty little place here that can be bought very reasonably on time. The house is small, but may be enlarged. There is a good well in the yard, some beautiful shade trees, splendid garden of 2 or 3 acres. I would be glad for you to come out and look at it, and if you are pleased with it we will buy it.
Get what ever you want in the way of something to eat; send to the market and get beef when you want it. Tell Jesse Lee has another new hat and wears it to school.
He calls his mamma ma – took it up himself, so they say; sits at the table in a big chair by his papa and wont eat in any plate but a big one with big knife and fork.
Tell the sweet boy that I am coming home to let him ride.
Tell mother father will not come home until I do. He has about traded for a nice little place. I hope you are by this time quite well; you were not when I was at home.
Love to all.
Affectionately,
A. Clark

Clark and the Community: Communication, Centralization and the Inherent Disconnect
No full textResearch Question: To what extent are Clark service learning classes engaging in a reciprocal relationship with community organizations in Worcester, MA?
Abstract: Students conducted formal and informal interviews with professors, students and community based partners to see what effect service learning classes have on local community organizations. the collected responses suggest that insufficient centralization of information and inconsistent communication adds difficulty to the relationships. Professors lack communication with each other thus assigning similar projects, and students lack a centralized information database for previous projects. The students concluded that a systematic monitoring of this process could lead to better communication, effectiveness, and productivity from all parties involved
Wellness and Prevention Program Sustainability Design for Clark University Athletics Department
No full textThe purpose of this work is to design a wellness based prevention program that is tailored to fit the campus community within Clark University, Worcester, MA, called the Peer Athletes Advocating for Wellness (PAAW) initiative. This paper first presents the current research on wellness related issues within a college campus, specifically surrounding sexual violence. It then outlines the current sexual violence prevention programming that takes place yearly for incoming first year students at Clark University, as well as a one-time initiative during which student athletes participated in the sexual violence prevention programming. There is a review of the current most effective wellness programs used throughout the country. The steps that have already been taken to ready the campus culture for this additional wellness programming are outlined. The proposed wellness program design works to incorporate the most effective parts of the programs being utilized by other campuses in order to best help student athletes maintain mental and physical health throughout the school year. The PAAW initiative is leadership based and student centered. It allows space for student athletes to review a potentially harmful scenarios that they might experience or witness, and discuss how to best help the person in need, making them more likely to act when a situation actually arises. The PAAW program helps individuals think through ways to maintain their own physical and mental health, as well as potentially positively impacting their teammates and other members of their academic community by intervening in or preventing a harmful situation

Carol Clark Oral History
No full textCarol Clark was a faculty member who taught English language and writing at The American University in Cairo from the 1970s through 2017, having received an MA in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at AUC. Clark recalls her first contact with Egypt, a visit in 1973 when she met an Egyptian man whom she later married; upon relocating to Cairo she studied in the AUC English Language Institute TEFL program as an MA Fellow; she gives a description of the ELI and TEFL program in that period. Her first teaching at AUC was with adult education students in its Division of Public Service (DPS). She recounts her departure from AUC by the 1990s, living in Kuwait and then teaching elsewhere in Egypt, and raises the issue of AUC local-hire and foreign-hire faculty status that affected her (she discusses faculty issues and relations with the administration in later periods as well). Clark rejoined AUC in 1997 in the Center for Adult and Continuing Education in its USAID-contracted English Language Testing and Training program, and reports advances made in the 1990s especially in the adoption of teaching and learning objectives and evaluation standards and the application of computer technology. Clark gives a portrait of the English Language Institute where she returned to teach in the 2000s, discussing its structure and leadership at the Director and Coordinator level. AUC’s Freshman Writing Program is described, on the basis of Clark’s periodic teaching there and its links with the ELI, whose own writing and graduate curriculum she discusses. Clark recounts her involvement in the revamping of AUC’s Core Curriculum and Freshman Year Program in the 2000s, including in the design and teaching of new courses. Facilities at the old downtown campus are compared with those at the New Cairo campus as Clark evaluates the impact of the 2008 move (and commuting) on teaching and campus community. Clark outlines the English Language Institute’s restructuring (as part of the creation of the Academy of Liberal Arts in 2013) that separated the TEFL MA program from the new Department of English Language Instruction, for which she was the first chair. She comments extensively on students over the years, touching on their abilities and learning style, foreign students, the 2012 student strike, and on her children’s experience from her vantage point as an AUC parent. Clark tells about the establishment of AUC’s day care center in the 1980s as well as her long involvement with AUC’s Faculty Services Committee, and offers her observations on how life in Cairo changed in her decades as a resident
