<p>Learning Reconsidered is a document released jointly by NASPA (National Association of Student Personnel Administrators) and ACPA (American College Personnel Association) in 2004. Student affairs staff are now taking into consideration the ideas of this landmark document when planning various campus activities for students.</p>
<p>Campus diversity programs can address one of the outcomes from Learning Reconsidered, namely Humanitarianism. Humanitarianism involves the understanding and appreciation of other people and their differences. This is the most obvious outcome that diversity can address but there are at least three other outcomes that can also be achieved if an event was structured right.</p>
<p>The outcome Cognitive Complexity involves reflective thinking about important issues of today&#8217;s society. Given that North America has become so diverse with people of many different ethnicity, cultures, religions and languages, diversity is certainly an important issue. But we must also include differences in sexual orientation and whether an individual is handicapped or not as part of overall diversity since everyone has the potential to be a positive contributor to society. Everyone regardless of differences should be included and student affairs professionals should ensure that programs benefit as many students as possible.</p>
<p>A diversity program that makes students think about multiculturalism and other differences between people in ways they have never thought of before will contribute to Cognitive Complexity. For example, a session that highlights certain benefits of a diverse society can be a real eye opener to many college students.<span id="more-107"></span></p>
<p>Another Learning Reconsidered outcome is Knowledge Acquisition, Integration and Application. This outcome involves students learning specific skills that they can apply to their daily lives on campus as well as in their future careers. A diversity program that includes some practical skills on how students can use diversity to enrich their lives and possibly give them an edge in their careers will most definitely achieve this particular outcome. Skills that teach students to interact successfully with others who are different from them would be extremely worthwhile.</p>
<p>A fourth learning outcome can be Inter and Intrapersonal Competence. This outcome involves how well people can interact with others. One of the most important skills that any student can ever learn is dealing effectively with other people, i.e., people skills. It has been suggested that the most successful people in any field are very good with people skills. These soft social skills will often determine who become the true leaders in society and careers across all professions. Unfortunately, these types of skills are not often taught in classrooms or courses so student affairs staff can help students develop them through other means.</p>
<p>Since our world is becoming a global economy and there is so much diversity in North America, the development of people skills and diversity skills actually go hand in hand now. Dealing effectively with people in general will mean that one can be effective with lots of different types of individuals in a diverse environment.</p>
<p>A college diversity program or event must include some type of interaction between students who are different from each other in order for it to address the outcome of Inter and Intrapersonal Competence. It could involve group activities during such workshops or having ethnic minorities interact with students during a cultural festival. As long as there is interaction, this outcome will be addressed.</p>
<p>So in summary, no less than four possible outcomes of Learning Reconsidered can be achieved with the right campus diversity program. Student affairs staff should aim to program events that address Learning Reconsidered outcomes whenever possible.</p></div>

<div class="ArticleBy">Article provided by <em>ScholarshipExperts.com</em></div>
<div class="ArticleText">To some students and parents, the word &#8220;scholarship&#8221; is just another one of  			those confusing college terms: student loans, <a href="http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/" target="_blank"> FAFSA</a>, tuition and fees, EFC, grants, and work study. Little do they realize  			that knowing more about the scholarship process could save them thousands of  			dollars when trying to cover the cost of their education.</p>
<h3 class="ArticleSubHeader">What are scholarships?</h3>
<p>Scholarships come in a variety of forms,  			but are generally considered to be &#8220;free money&#8221; for college. Unlike loans,  			scholarships do not have to be repaid to the scholarship provider. Some  			scholarships are awarded directly to the student in the form of a check, while  			other scholarships are written out to the student&#8217;s college or university.  			Several different types of providers issue scholarships: clubs and  			organizations, charitable foundations, businesses, schools, universities,  			government agencies, and others.</p>
<h3 class="ArticleSubHeader">Who can get scholarships?</h3>
<p>It is a common misconception that  			scholarships are only for &#8220;straight-A&#8221; students. In reality, there are all types  			of scholarships for all types of students, including those with less than  			perfect academic records. Some scholarships are for athletes; others are for  			students planning to study in particular fields; and others for community  			service. Some scholarship providers just want to reward students for living in a  			certain city or state! Students also mistakenly believe that only college-bound  			high school seniors can apply for awards. Scholarships are available for all  			levels of college study, from freshman undergrads to graduate and Ph.D.  			students. There are also scholarships available for non-traditional and returning adult students.</p>
<h3 class="ArticleSubHeader">How do students find scholarships?</h3>
<p>Finding scholarships can be  			a very time-consuming process, but not if students use a reputable and accurate  			scholarship search service on the Internet, like monashliberals.org. Students can also ask their high school guidance  			counselors about any local or state awards that they qualify for. Students  			should contact the financial aid office at the college or university they plan  			to attend to learn if they qualify for any awards provided by the school.</p>
<h3 class="ArticleSubHeader">When should students look for scholarships?</h3>
<p>Each scholarship application has its own deadline. There are thousands of scholarship programs  			with spring and summer deadlines, and thousands more with fall and winter  			deadlines. The key is to never stop searching for new scholarship leads, even  			after beginning the freshman year in college. A good rule of thumb is to  			continue searching for scholarships for the duration of the college career.</p></div>
