Lead by Example and Precept: Introducing, Developing, and Recognizing Leadership Mastery at the Collegiate Level:

Abstract: Colleges and universities are establishing courses and programs to promote leadership development. In fact, there is evidence that the college experience is associated with increases in leadership skills. Furthermore, there is evidence that being a member of a social fraternity or sorority develops your leadership skills more than a nonmember. Accordingly, a social fraternity is launching a new, comprehensive leadership development program for its members and leaders -- called Lead by Example And Precept (LEAP) - to introduce, develop, and recognize lifelong leadership competencies in undergraduate members to prepare these students to be leaders for the world in which they will live.

Calothrix — an evaluation of fresh water species in United States rivers and streams, their distribution and preliminary ecological findings

Abstract: . This study examines the distribution and ecology of the morphologically complex genus Calothrix, which contains species particularly hard to identify due to morphological variability with changing water conditions. Up to a dozen species have been reported previously in US freshwater environments. Using literature review to establish previously reported occurrences and the extensive dataset from the Environmental Protection Agency National River and Streams Assessment, this study mapped the current confirmed distribution of 7 species in United States rivers and streams. Results from data analysis showed Calothrix spp. occurring in 42 States and establish its occurrence in both flowing and standing, typically alkaline or neutral waters. Ecological traits exhibited by individual species included C. fusca (Kutzing) Bornet & Flahault indicating pH may be a limiting factor, with this species preferring more alkaline waters. In addition, conductivity levels influenced filament structure. Data indicates...
