Programs and Capital Projects of the Andre Agassi The Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation has always and will continue to fund organizations which offer programs that consistently carry out the mission of the Foundation. The following organizations are fine examples. THE ANDRE AGASSI BOYS GIRLS CLUB In 1997, Andre Agassi Boys Girls Club first opened its doors. The club sees as many as 400 members a day in the summer and well over 2,000 members during the year. This 25,000-square-foot facility offers a full spectrum of activities, reinforcing educational, recreational and social growth to its members. It also features an indoor basketball court, outdoor tennis courts, a computer lab, library and teen center. Team Agassi is the name of the junior tennis team at the Agassi club. A majority of the players had absolutely no previous tennis experience prior to joining the team, which now boasts four nationally ranked players as well as a number of regionally ranked players. Coached by Tim Blenkiron, the group practices regularly, attends study sessions, and often travels to play in various tournaments. This gives them the competitive experience needed to help them to grow even further as rising tennis players. In addition to helping the children hone their tennis skills, the program encourages them to respect each other and appreciate the challenges of winning and losing. A basketball program, aptly named the Agassi Stars, was initiated in 2000. Headed by Coach Jermone Riley, the Stars are encouraged to explore the different opportunities available to them. Part of the program requires players to attend study hall sessions and write to universities they might be interested in attending. Coach Riley understands the importance of balancing athletics and education and works to instill this in his players. The Foundation hopes to make these programs a college recruiting ground not only for kids with athletic potential but educational potential as well. In a community where drugs and gangs are prevalent forces, the Agassi Club not only gives kids a safe place to go after school but is a learning environment that will positively impact their lives for years to come. BOYS HOPE / GIRLS HOPE Boys Hope/Girls Hope is a national organization that came to Las Vegas in 1997. This program provides a safe family-like environment and college preparatory opportunity for underprivileged children. Donations to the home go toward tuition expenses, food and clothing, medical and dental costs, fees for counseling and tutoring, recreational costs and everyday expenses. Boys Hope/Girls Hope admits children between the ages of 9 and 14 whose parents or guardians are no longer capable of providing care or supervision. These children are chosen based on academic ability, leadership qualities and emotional and behavioral stability. All the boys attend private middle and high schools through scholarships, and are great students. In addition, the program continues to care for its graduates throughout their college career. All three graduates of the program are currently attending college, also through scholarship programs. Many of the residents come from families who, through extenuating circumstances beyond their control , were forced to move into homeless shelters. Boys Hope offers a permanent residence for kids who otherwise would still be in a shelter or possibly living on the street. A Girls Hope is still in the planning stage but there is already a waiting list to get in. The Agassi Foundation has historically contributed toward the Boys Hope/Girls Hope endowment. CHILD HAVEN Child Haven is Clark County’’s only public shelter for abused and neglected children. This shelter houses children as young as 3 days old. The children stay until charges against their legal guardians have been investigated and resolved or until a safe home can be found. These children receive wonderful care while they are housed at Child Haven. The facility is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.In 1997, the Agassi Center for Education (ACE) was opened, replacing a two-room schoolhouse that was built in 1972. The 10,000-square-foot facility has six spacious classrooms, which allow the children (kindergarten through 12th grade) to be divided into smaller class sizes where the children’’s individual educational needs can be met. In addition, the Foundation donated 720,000 to assist in the building of the Andre Agassi Cottage for Medically Fragile Children. This facility opened in December 2001 and accommodates developmentally delayed or handicapped children and children quarantined for infectious diseases. It houses approximately 20 beds and gives children with special needs the attention needed to make them feel comfortable in their new surroundings.CLASS! PUBLICATIONS CLASS! Publications is a teen-focused periodical distributed free of charge to Clark County high schools, with an emphasis on helping at-risk youth. The publication strives to draw students of all backgrounds and aims to encourage teens to read and stay in school. In addition, the periodical publishes the writing, art and photography of teenagers, and teachers and schools are recognized for their achievements. CLASS! also features a Spanish section that addresses societal issues pertaining to Hispanic students and their families, ranging from driving information to citizenship. CLASS! also offers computer education workshops where students can learn marketable skills that will increase their interest in school, help them excel in school activities, assist in their post-graduation job search, and help keep them away from substance abuse and crime.CYNTHIA BUNKER AND JOY McCLENAHAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS The Cynthia Bunker Scholarship Endowment Fund was established to benefit students enrolled in Fine and Performing Arts at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. A new scholarship was recently added as a beneficiary of the endowment fund, named the Joy McClenahan Memorial Scholarship. Joy was a long-time volunteer and supporter of the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation who passed away in 2003. The Foundation commends the time and effort all our volunteers put forth year after year, and no one exemplified this better than Joy. The purpose of this scholarship is to honor her memory and commitment to the children of this community. Therefore, the endowment will continue to distribute eight scholarships; four will be Cynthia Bunker Scholarships and the other four, Joy McClenahan scholarships. To qualify for the scholarships, a student must meet all of the following requirements: Demonstrate financial need Have a minimum 2. 5 grade point average Be a resident of Clark County Be enrolled in the College of Fine and Performing Arts Each scholarship applicant must interview before members of the College of Fine and Performing Arts. The application process is performed once a year, prior to the fall semester, through the University. GREATER LAS VEGAS AFTER-SCHOOL ALL-STARS PRESENTED BY INNER-CITY GAMES LAS VEGAS The mission of the Greater Las Vegas After-School All-Stars, presented by Inner-City Games, is to provide comprehensive out-of-school programs that keep children safe and help them achieve success in school and in life. Since its inception, the After-School All-Stars has positively affected the lives of more than 100,000 Southern Nevada children. It offers the only 100 percent free program of its kind in Clark County. It is open to all children between the ages of 7 and 17 living in the greater Las Vegas area, but targets those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in organized extracurricular activities. The After-School All-Stars provides a variety of athletic, educational, cultural and community enrichment programs. Activities such as basketball, soccer, swimming and volleyball are offered along with less traditional ones, like hip-hop dance, chess, computer camps and golf. The events range from one-day clinics to five-week programs facilitated by trained coaches and educators. The After-School All-Stars offers an alternative to gangs and drugs while providing educational and sports-oriented programs after school and on the weekends. It is designed to teach life skills that are vital to building confidence and self-esteem. The participants learn values such as respect for others, kindness, honesty, determination, responsibility, commitment and self-respect.Andre Agassi Cottage for Medically Fragile Children is exclusively established for developmentally delayed or handicapped children and children quarantined for infectious diseases.

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
