Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count [pdf] - http://www.achievingthedream.org/                                         Bringing a more diverse student body into the world of higher education is important, and a number of organizations have teamed up "to help more students reach their individual goals, which may include earning a community college certificate or degree." The organizations involved with the "Achieving the Dream" initiative include The American Association of Community Colleges and The Community College Leadership Program. Visitors to their site can learn more about this initiative and then learn about various community college strategies and events across the United States. Moving along, the "Data and Research" area is a real gem, and visitors can learn about their research reports and read their monthly newsletter, which addresses such topics as financial aid and developmental math and science courses.

Campus Health and Safety.org http://www.campushealthandsafety.org/                                      Over the past few years, a number of university and college campuses have grown increasingly interested in creating places where students and others can come to learn about how to create healthy and safe environments for young people during their time at their various institutions. For those looking for high-quality information on these subjects, this website is a fine place to start. With funding provided by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the site contains examples of prevention approaches that professionals and concerned citizens can implement on their own campuses and surrounding communities. Tabs at the top of the home page allow visitors to directly access materials dealing with alcohol, mental health, and violence. Additionally, the site wisely digests these materials appropriately for different audiences, including administrators, parents, and students. Persons who may already be working with such a prevention plan will want to look at the "Key Processes" area of the site. Here they will find information on how to best evaluate their own existing programs and how to also adopt an effective strategic plan.

The Council of Independent Colleges: Historic Campus Architecture Project                                            http://hcap.artstor.org/cgi-bin/library                                           Most college campuses have an "Old Main" type building, along perhaps a central quadrangle and other features that seem to be indicative of a traditional collegiate setting. In recent years, studying campuses through their architectural development has become quite popular, and this online project from the Council of Independent Colleges is a great way to learn about this field. Working with a grant from the Getty Foundation, the Historic Campus Architecture Project (HCAP) site documents over 2000 places of historical significance on private college and university campuses. Visitors can browse the database by institution, designer, building style or time period. For each building profiled, visitors can learn about its history and current use, and also view a selection of photos, drawings, or other pieces of documentation. Additionally, visitors should take a look at the glossary provided here to brush up on terms like "American Colonial" and "Gothic Revival".

Mathematics Education at West Point: The First Hundred Years http://mathdl.maa.org/convergence/1/ ?pa=content&sa=viewDocument&nodeId=1796                           In 1834, the Committee on Military Affairs at the United States Military Academy at West Point was unequivocal in its support for mathematics, noting that "Mathematics is the study which forms the foundation of the course of study at the United States Military Academy". Research by V. Frederick Rickey and Amy Shell-Gellasch looks at the first hundred years of mathematics education at West Point, offered as part of the Convergence magazine published by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). Following a brief introduction, the piece takes a close look at the role of mathematics education during the early years of West Point, and then moves on to examine the use of various mathematics textbooks and principles during the next century.

William J. Meuer Photoart Collection (Wisconsin) http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/UW/subcollections/ MeuerAlbumsAbout.html                                                                   In some places, collegiate life and so-called "town-gown" activities and relationships are well-documented. The University of Wisconsin is just such a place, and recently the University of Wisconsin's Digital Collections group placed a cornucopia of photographic material online related to just this subject. The Meuer Photoart Collection draws on the work on local photographer William J. Meuer. Meuer and his brother, Roman, opened their photography business on Madison's State Street in 1916. Over a period that spanned forty years, Meuer took photographs of hundreds of faculty members at the University and documented lectures, social events, intramural and informal sporting events, and dramatic presentations. Currently, visitors can page through the first eight volumes of this twenty-five volume collection or they may also search the text of these albums for items of note.
