Best Practices to Increase Efficacy of Graduate School Admissions Communications at Clark University
No full textWithin the period of time that a graduate student deposits and subsequently arrives at their academic institution, receiving timely information is important for their preparation. This process has been deemed by the Deans of the Enterprise Schools at Clark University as one that needs further investigation. As such, this Capstone looks at the array of communication that goes out to each graduate student during this four-month period. The purpose of examining this communication is to analyze its effectiveness in engaging students. To analyze the effectiveness of this communication, surveys were distributed to current students in these schools to gather data surrounding their experience after applying to Clark. In addition to looking at Clark University’s current process, we conducted an analysis of trends and best practices from colleges and universities across the country. Based on findings from this research and our firsthand interviews of the aforementioned Deans and involved staff members, we have provided recommendations to improve this process. Ultimately, in order to improve student engagement our group has created recommendations that could improve some of the challenges in engaging and retaining students during this period of time

Privacy Future Directions
No full textPrivacy law is in a precarious position. Scholars and commentators are unable to agree on a universal definition for what privacy entails and what interests or rights privacy law should protect when balanced against changing societal norms, rapid technological advancements and freedom of speech concerns. As Boyd aptly states “[n]either privacy nor publicity is dead, but technology will continue to make a mess of both.” In this respect, this chapter examines how the future of privacy law should take shape in New Zealand. It summarises important shortfalls in New Zealand’s current privacy laws and the improvements required to keep pace with international legal developments.
The first-named author, Daimhin Warner, first addresses the shortfalls and improvements needed in relation to the Privacy Act 2020. The second-named and third-named authors, Nikki Chamberlain and Stephen Penk, then address shortfalls and improvements needed in the common law

“Kagero-nikki“ and “Towazu-gatari“
No full textpdfThe subject of my paper is the study of two of the most famous lyrical diaries of the Heian period and the Kamakura period; that is ,“Kagerō-nikki” and “Towazu-gatari”. The first of them covers 21 years of the life of the author, Michitsuna-no haha, and the latter 37 years of the life of the author, Lady Nijō. Therefore, they can be considered as representative works of the genre “nikki-bungaku”－ as personal and retrospective literature. First, I am dealing with the characteristics of these two diaries as personal literature, stressing the psychological stimulus which lead the authors to write their diaries, as seen in the two works themselves.
Then, I proceed with undertaking the problem of time as revealed in these two diaries. On the one hand, there is the frame of natural, objective time, and on the other, the flow of the subjective time of the authors ―first as a main character of the work (protagonist), and then as an author (narrator). The two basic elements of the subjective time in the lyrical diaries could be defined as personal time or the time of experience, and recollected time or the time of retrospection. As the work proceeds towards its end, the positions of the author as a narrator and as a protagonist tend to unify, and so do the time of experience and the time of retrospection.
At the end, I outline the main subjects of my future study of time in the lyrical diaries in an attempt to finally formulate the temporal characteristics of “nikki-bungaku” as a genre.conference pape
