Villanova is a great university with many exceptional students. While that fact is obvious to those of us on the inside who deal with our students day in and day out, it is perhaps less obvious to those on the outside. Because the 2024-25 cycle numbers (that are described in the university's post below) are not available yet on the Fulbright program's webpage, let me share numbers for the previous 2023-24 cycle (which are available). In that cycle, Villanova University was the 8th largest producer of Fulbright students nationally *ahead* of many storied institutions like MIT, Stanford, Princeton, and Johns Hopkins. Yup, that's right: We produced more Fulbright students than any one of those incredible institutions. In fact, viewed on a per capita basis, I suspect that Villanova would fare even better given that we have a small-ish student body, relative to many of the institutions ranking higher than us.

It's with a mix of frustration and disappointment that I greet the news that yet another Afrodescendant-related course at my alma mater, Goldsmiths, is under threat. Earlier this year, a petition was circulated to save the MA in Black British Writing. This time, the sword of Damocles hangs over the Black British History MA. More specifically, one of its only two teaching staff is facing redundancy. With the increased neoliberalisation of academia over the preceding decades, where tuitions fees have hit staggering rates, students have become 'customers' and education can't simply be an end in itself, this shouldn't be surprising. Even less so when it comes to subjects concerning minoritised groups. But, still. It's sad to see Goldsmiths slowly crossing over to the darkside. It has been a pioneer both academically and in the causes which both staff and the student body have chosen to support: from Justice for Cleaners to standing in solidarity with Palestine. We need to step up the pressure to make sure this fair-mindedness prevails over cold, hard (neocolonial) economics.

Native American education has long been a critical and underfunded area in the broader educational landscape of the United States. Historical injustices, such as forced assimilation and cultural eradication policies, have left lasting impacts on Native communities. Givens & Ison (2023) state that today, educational institutions serving Native American students often face significant challenges, including inadequate funding, lack of culturally relevant curriculum, and limited access to advanced educational resources. Addressing these issues is vital not only for the preservation and revitalization of Native cultures but also for ensuring that Native American students receive an equitable education that prepares them for success in a rapidly changing world. Improving Native American education must focus on a holistic approach that respects and integrates Native cultures and languages into the curriculum. Research has shown that culturally responsive teaching can significantly enhance the academic achievement and engagement of Native students. Furthermore, collaboration with Native communities in designing and implementing educational programs ensures that these communities' educational needs and aspirations are met (Givens & Ison, 2023). By investing in the education of Native American students, we honor their heritage and empower future generations to thrive academically, culturally, and socially. #NativeAmericanEducation #CulturalPreservation #EquityInEducation #NativeVoices #IndigenousEducation #CulturallyResponsiveTeaching #EmpowerNativeStudents #EducationForAll #NativeAmericanHeritage #CommunityCollaboration #FutureOfEducation #SupportNativeYouth Givens, J.

Twelve online history graduate students at the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies within The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences participated in the inaugural The Scotland Archive Experience. This program, a partnership with the University of Edinburgh, sought to overcome typical geographic barriers of online programs to provide critical educational and research opportunities for students. “The Scotland study abroad trip provided an invaluable opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in historical research,” said James Ayer, a student in the program. “Engaging directly with primary sources deepened my understanding of Scottish history, enhancing both my personal and academic growth.” Learn more: https://ow.ly/GMY450UzqTq

As we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month during May, it's important to remember that Asian American communities are not monolithic and face unique sets of challenges. That's why school districts are disaggregating data on Asian American students to understand and meet their diverse needs. Read this ASBJ article (https://lnkd.in/esqdZV_W) to learn more.

This article is almost 2 years old, but still strikingly topical. Global instability is having a growing and damaging impact on the most 'globalized' of students, with the USA in the lead. ? How can we help our young people to remain upright, retain solid values of excellence but also of mutual aid, and the acute awareness of having to contribute to the common good in their professional and personal lives? ?? Christian values are remarkably well-suited to achieving this goal. The fundamental knowledge and finesse with which the Christian vision analyzes human nature is an incomparable tool for better self-knowledge and maximizing opportunities to grow without falling into destructive individualism or ill-calibrated collectivism. A skilful blend of awareness, requirement, mercy and humility to be rediscovered for oneself and applied to daily life. ? The Académie St Joan of Arc works in exactly this way, through unique courses combining academic teaching, visits to a centuries-old cultural and religious heritage, prayer and meditation, and intense physical activity. ??
