117). Likewise, articulation agreements can be reasonably expected to continue to be one of the primary means of providing receiving institutions with the assurances they require to provide transferring students appropriate credit for coursework completed at community colleges; however, in a highly mobile society, in can also be reasonably expected to find some students transferring within such community colleges. In these cases, careful coordination between these institutions will also be required; in other cases, students from a four-year institution may be compelled to take coursework at a community college. In this regard, Ignash and Townsend (2000) suggest that, "If two- and four-year institutions are indeed equal partners in delivering the first two years of undergraduate education, then it follows that statewide articulation agreements need to reflect this view and not assume that transfer occurs only in a two- to four-year vertical direction" (p. 1). In the final analysis, properly administered and coordinated, articulation agreements provide an effective method of providing both students and academic institutions with the reassurances they need to ensure that coursework completed at one school receives appropriate consideration at another.

The assumption here is that counselor burnout may be heightened as a result of the diversity of students who attend post secondary educational institutions, and the variety of services the 2-year postsecondary counselors must provide to these students. This assumption is congruent with the findings of a study by Wilkerson and Bellini (2006) who advise, "Professional school counselors are asked to perform multiple duties as part of their daily

This model views literacy as woven into the person's identity, based in turn from his acculturation and participation in his socio-cultural community. Spoken or written communication is understood and appreciated according to who is reading or writing and the context and purpose of the communication. Learners come to the educational setting with individual experiences, perspectives, values and beliefs. They perform tasks subjectively. Their cultural background is, therefore, an essential
College?) It's become a widely recognized fact. College is expensive, and saddles students with lifelong debts. Moreover, observation shows that people learn very little in college and that knowledge and talent in a field may be unrelated to the degrees that one has. There's a simple solution to this problem: the youth of this nation should refuse to go to colleges where they will be saddled with debt and useless
Throughout that time, full-time corresponding enrollment, consisting of students who took twelve credit hours per semester, saw a fourteen percent increase, as compared with a nine percent increase in total enrollment at other institutions. In the summers of these years, full-time enrollment (FTE) grew by fifteen percent, while total enrollment saw a ten percent increase. Researchers have concluded that extended Pell grants appear to be enabling students to attend
