Brittany Nackley The support of my family and my desire to bring new understanding to people and their challenges drives me to achieve more. My Journey to #AchieveMore Our warm home should have been comforting on that cold October Saturday, but my nerves were too frazzled to notice. I had signed up to compete in The Nutshell Games that evening, and I was subjecting my husband and our two children to my fretful rehearsals. As one of thirty scientist-competitors, I would have 90 seconds on stage to explain my research to 300 people and 10 judges including two 7th graders. If the youngest judges couldn't understand the presentation, you wouldn't win. Finally, having a 7th grade son of my own could be an advantage to this aging mom-turned-graduate student. He and my 4th grade daughter pushed me to simplify my message as my husband drove us to the event. But when they dropped me off I was filled with trepidation – why had I taken on something so far outside my comfort zone? An hour later when my moment finally came, I surprised myself and my family! I didn't win the competition, but I delivered a performance I could be proud of. The experience made a fitting metaphor for my journey to achieve more. Ever since returning to school in my forties, I have been working outside my comfort zone. After a pivotal experience with therapy when my mom had cancer, I was driven to study psychology and learn how certain therapies can transform lives even during heartbreak. So I started an eight-year journey as a middle-aged undergraduate, followed by a Master's program, then two years applying to PhD programs –0/8 acceptances my first try, before a success the second year. Every step required unrelenting patience, conviction, and a thick skin. Every step my family supported me, needed me, and kept me grounded. I am a scientist mom and I am driven to change lives through psychological understanding.           What Drives You to #AchieveMore? View Current Winners   See All Stories   Submit Your Story ...

Erin Steckler Despite the loss of my Mom, I did not let this stop me from becoming successful and maintaining a positive lifestyle. My Journey to #AchieveMore My name is Erin Steckler, and I am a Sophomore at Rowan University. In June 2009, I lost my Mom to Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma. The loss was devastating, and it left my Dad with the full responsibility of raising four children all under the age of 10, managing a career, and providing for our household. Therefore, I spent a majority of my childhood helping to raise my siblings. Although the loss of my Mom provided financial and emotional challenges, I did not let this stop me from becoming successful and maintaining a positive lifestyle. Despite the loss of my Mom, my Dad created a memorable childhood experience, and I owe much of my success to him. I know my Mom would be extremely proud of me, as I am following in her career footsteps, studying Elementary Education, English, and Special Education. My Dad is a single father of four, and he has taken the responsibility for financially supporting all four of his children in our college educations. Although I do not have the opportunity to live on campus, I commute to school and help my Dad out whenever needed. As a full-time college student, I also work as a part-time daycare teacher at Free To Be Me Preschool, helping me pay for my personal and college expenses. Despite the challenges which the loss of my Mom provided, I would not be where I am today without my support system. Although I am loving my experience at Rowan, I do not want this financial burden to fall on my Dad. I am confident that I will be a positive role-model for my future students, and with the help of the "Macmillan Learning Scholarship," I wish to alleviate some of the financial burden regarding my college expenses.           What Drives You to #AchieveMore?

Steven Blodgett The new perspective that I've gained in life from my experiences with bone cancer and as an amputee drive me to #AchieveMore. My Journey to #AchieveMore When I was nine years old, I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. On the heels of this devastating diagnosis came nine months of intense treatment. My leg was amputated to stop the spread of the bone cancer and the harsh chemotherapy damaged my hearing; my life would never be the same. The scars of this harrowing time are etched upon my body, and my prosthetic leg and hearing aids serve as constant reminders of the trials I have endured. My experience with cancer gave me more than a broken body: it gave me perspective. It gave me empathy for others who are going through trials of their own. By forcing me to relearn how to walk and perform other tasks, it taught me how to be persistent. My hearing loss actually improved my communication skills by forcing me to truly listen to people, not just hear what they are saying. I learned to ski—on one leg—something that I had never tried before my amputation. Now I am an advanced skier and love to ski difficult runs with my friends. My experience with cancer taught me gratitude for each moment that I live. These experiences and lessons have made me a better person and a better student. I embrace life to its fullest and have developed a grateful attitude. The gratitude for my life extends to school and learning; I have never taken schoolwork or my learning lightly. My hard-earned perspective will be a driving force throughout my life to enable me to make a positive impact on the lives of those I work with and serve in my career and family.           What Drives You to #AchieveMore?

Rebecca Whitney I choose to heal myself and others by preserving culture and language for generations to come. My Journey to #AchieveMore I am a writer, American Indian, linguist, and bookworm. I choose to heal myself and others by preserving culture and language for generations to come. It was Dr. Judith Maxwell, my linguistics professor, who suggested that I attend a program called Breath of Life, which caters specifically to Native Americans seeking to study their tribal languages. In today’s English-centric world, minority languages are fast disappearing, including my own heritage language, Quapaw. When language dies, culture—and by extension, identity—dies with it. When I attended Breath of Life, for the first time in my life, I was surrounded by a community with the same goals, doubts, fears, and setbacks as me. I realized that it was my calling to help revitalize my heritage language, Quapaw. As an undergraduate, I completed an honors thesis in which I translated four of ten Quapaw stories that were collected in the 1890s. They have since faded from tribal memory, so inntranslating these stories, I sought to return a piece of the past to my people. At the University of Arizona, I am pursuing an M.A. in Native American languages and linguistics. For my master’s thesis, I will finish the collection of stories and format them in a way that is accessible to the community: an illustrated collection of tribal stories in English and Quapaw. One of the major reasons that American Indians continue to suffer today is because their culture and languages are still under attack. Those who work in language revitalization seek to reverse that process. Our people need healing, and health is a multifaceted enterprise, birthed partly through community, artistic expression, language, and culture. It is through these avenues that I can best serve my community, my world, and myself.           What Drives You to #AchieveMore? View Current Winners   See All Stories   Submit Your Story   ...

Polly Zimmermann Growing the next generation of nurses for their benefit and the good of society. My Journey to #AchieveMore My name is Polly Gerber Zimmermann. I am a registered nurse. After 20 years of clinical practice, I started teaching student nurses 22 years ago. I had enjoyed providing small educational in-services to nurses at my job. After receiving my master’s degree in nursing, I made the leap into the full-time education of future nurses. Despite paying less than clinical nursing, I had a desire to help bring the next generation of nurses into the profession. The daily satisfaction is worth it. I want the same impact that my nursing educators had on me over 40 years ago. Many of my students are recent immigrants or the first from their family to attend college. It is a delight to help them prepare for and begin a new career, not just a job, that fulfills them and does good in society. Through various higher institutions of learning over the years, I have helped prepare students to give quality, safe care, along the “tricks of the trade” I had learned from my own practice. It is satisfying when graduates, now nurses, thank me for the influence I played in their educational process. It has come full circle when I, or my family members, now receive excellent nursing care from my former students. Teaching at higher education enhances my ability to keep mentally challenged and up-to-date over with the field’s developing knowledge, trends, and issues. The opportunity to create is ever present. There are meaningful relationships with your students and colleagues., I look forward to each day I teach and the potential effect and influence I can have. Teaching in higher education lets me make a difference today and the years to come.       What Drives You to #AchieveMore? View Current Winners   See All Stories   Submit Your Story   ... View more

Padmini Shankar | I wanted to #AchieveMore to make my parents, teachers, and my child proud! My Journey to #AchieveMore About 30 years ago, I came to the United States with four small suitcases and a four-year old child. With a broken marriage behind me, I came to this country to seek a new life for my child and myself. With the blessings of my parents and the tremendous support of many kind people here, I succeeded in completing my Master’s and Doctoral degrees. It was a huge challenge to be a full-time student, work campus jobs to earn money, and take care of a young child. But the sacrifices of my parents and the future I wanted for my child kept me focused on my academics. In the beginning I did not have a clear vision regarding my career, but the brilliant mentorship, unfailing support, and vast kindness of my PhD faculty advisor inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. I vowed to make a difference in the lives of students just as she has in mine. As a professor today, the joy and pride I feel when teaching and mentoring students are indescribable. My goal is to equip my students with relevant knowledge and skills, so they can be successful in any career path they choose. I encourage my students to aim high and work tirelessly towards that goal. And I tell them it is totally fine if they fail; like the GPS that recalculates to get us back to our destination, they too can reevaluate their situation and strategies, and get back on track and confidently head towards their goal. I believe it takes dedication and tenacity to make it work against all odds. I know, because I only have to look at my frayed brown suitcase to realize what an incredible journey it has been to #achievemore!           What Drives You to #AchieveMore?

Co-Sponsored by eRezLife  Housing professionals need solid strategies to make sense of assessment data, put results into context, and drive action to improve the residential experience. Benchmarking is one powerful option. Benchmarking involves making comparisons to identify best practices and opportunities for improvement. While making comparisons to other institutions is the most recognized form, it is only one form; to focus solely on that narrow definition means missing other opportunities.

In recent years, housing and residence life programs have put increased effort and attention towards improving the experience and process of room assignments. With the utilization of new technologies to assist, on-campus residents often play a more active role in selecting the residence halls, rooms, and even roommates.
