for undergraduates, a lot of undergraduates don't have a lot of work pics variants. they may have wanted to enter chips under their belt that the more prestigious the better. they aren't necessarily looking for skills in a domain. prince jin, harvard, columbia trust, columbia trust they are smart enough to do the job and teach you whatever you have to learn. they look for internships often unpaid. that's one of the dimensions of this as well as extracurricular profiles that are filled with that dvds motivated by personal passion. things like sports, depending the person who it screens your resume, drama can be a good one. you're heavily involved in drama and you may be out of luck. the idea that the best and the brightest cultivate their skills not only in the classroom but outside is huge. if you don't have extracurricular activities motivated by passion you're out of the game. do you want me to continue? if you are selected to interview, a lot of interviews are open-ended. and open-ended conversation for the first five minutes they are why are you here, what he lik

also they are complex said that the most elite especially undergraduate business school and law school, allow them almost unfettered access to their students and that creates a climate on campus where these careers and debbie a crucial mercker of self worth so they go into much greater numbers than otherwise because the recruiting process has been described as literally taking over campuses several months per year have made it that they're available to the high status jobs. >> host: northwestern university you teach at the kellogg school of management you our top five. >> we spend a lot on a british bank consultant but yes. universities play a big role in that. >> host: how do you fight this? >> the first has to do with universities one of the big reasons why the playing field is so scarce that happens to be universities of undergraduate and graduate level tend to have a high a biased and admission criteria looking at the population of the top school the programs tend to be dominated by the most affluent hasp -- households but if you look at firm so only recruit from that school if the

former dean of freshman and undergraduate advising at stanford, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> what are some of the worst examples of overparenting you've seen and how does that affect kids? >> my book, i tried to get away from labels, helicopter parent, tiger mom, and focus on the behaviors. they are overprotecting, overdirecting, too much hand-holding. i've got a ton of examples. some of them seem harmless. the parents who call to wake their kid up in college, want to and do call the professor to contest a grade. but i think the most damaging, the most egregious examples, are actually the parents who are so certain that they know best what that child should study and become in life that they've actually constructed that child's path. >> so the child has no room to develop basic skills? >> well, exactly. they're not developing -- >> needed skills. >> right. in childhood when mom and dad are planning out the path and constructing every moment, every afternoon. the activities, the enrichment, so on. the child ends up not learning kind of the basic things that life

but then it hit me the actions of the voice as an undergraduate and so that peace in a way the first the history back into existence. so the first was because i understood the complexity central to citizenship partly because i blew grew up in the something from san francisco and california my parents were divorced and so i split years. when i was in florida my grandmother was all about getting my hair straightened. she wasn't a part of a very specific community but for her it meant one thing. and it would cause trouble in a segregated - they have a whole only constructive thing going on. so for the black community why would you call that trouble on your self, like of all of the fights that we have, why that's one? it was my mother in the late 60s and 70s we were running around at the county courthouse. the difference of what it could mean in the same decade decade into regions of the country for the generations there were nuances that were beyond just politics and assimilation that spoke to the complexity of the experience and i simply didn't see it when i was in graduate school. i w

we have about 20,000 undergraduates. of those, 43%, even with that tuition, are going to receive a form of need-based aid. there is still great need out there. the median income in north carolina is less than $50,000 a year. this can still be an important part of their experience. north carolina is one of possibly two public universities that is need-blind -- we do not consider parents' income in the application and one of the only ones remaining that meets full need -- after they fell out there equation, we cover the rest of the need. this is important if you're going to help students attain a successful degree. i am acutely aware that for students to attend carolina and many other universities in america, the start of the academic year is one of great excitement, but most of our high school students, less than half, are going to be going to college. they do not have that same sense of optimism. many self-select and think that they are not going to be able to do it. they are fearful that they are not going to be able to

so, again, i was an undergraduate, so fannie lou hamer was this revelation for me.ut so much of the history that i was learning even about the civil rights movement was still very male, and it would just say and then there was fannie lou hamer, right? >> right. >> but to really -- it hit me, her absence, the absence of her voice was as an undergraduate. so that piece in a way the first two books that i did have to do with writing other pieces of black women's history back into existence. so the first book about hair literally was because i understood the complexity of hair for black women as central to citizenship and femininity. partly because i grew up in the south and in san francisco, california. my parents are divorced, so i split years. when i with -- when i was in florida, what hair meant, my grandmother was all about me and miss bess city and getting my hair straightened. she was not ashamed of being black, she was a part of a very specific be kind of black community. but hair for her meant one thing, and it couldn't -- and it would cause trouble. in a segre

third, i was -- when i was an undergraduate at m.i.t., in the 1960s, there was a whole round of concernut this. will automation displace all the employment? and what i was taught as an undergraduate was that basically the people who thought it would were a bunch of idiot ledites and obviously there would be enough demand and work itself out and if people got more productive and they'd spend and maybe we needed some transition assistance, but it would all be okay. that's what i thought and bob solo thought and he was a hero and the other people were all a bunch of goof balls, kind of what i learned. i believed that for many years and actually repeated it often. it has occurred to me that when i was being taught that, about 6% of the men in the united states, between the age of 25 and 54, were not working. and that today, 16% of the men in the united states, between the age of 25 and 54, are not working. and it won't be very different even when the economy is at full employment by any definition. so something very serious has happened with respect to the general availability of quality jo

we recently surveyed 909 undocumented undergraduates across 34 states that immigrated to america from 55 different countries. they attend an array of two-year and four-year public and private colleges that range in selectivity. the first and largest study of its kind exclusively focused on youth emerging adults in colleges. the study represents a number of findings. the new congress, scholars, activists, concerned citizens and like and above all community members should be wise to ponder. undocumented students encompass a range of immigration histories, language backgrounds and religions. they are black, they are white, they are brown, they are asia and pacific islander. they occupy positions across the full spectrum of socioeconomic status. for them, like for many, many other young people in college today, college is a real challenge. these students are studying and working hard and they long to belong. the majority of them, 68%, are first generation to college. not unique to this population, but a challenge nevertheless, as they have limited guides to navigate in and through college

i was an undergraduate at the law school at university of michigan.rom 1976 to 1983, i lived in michigan. the 1980's were pretty good years. the class of 1982 was rick snyder. 1983 was me. mike duggan, we all came up in that era. having a connection to the city and understanding what it was in its heyday, as well as having participated in other cases, the chrysler case, perhaps, made me seem like a more logical selection than someone else. brian: wxyz tv in detroit covered you a lot. we are going back to one of the first times in march of 2013, to get a sense of what they were saying before you took the job.

one, my son and future daughter-in-law graduate from university of virginia undergraduate in 1996 and see you got your ph.d 301995 i wonder if you might comment briefly on your dissertation and how you looked at charlottesville and whether not the other get back to charlottesville. on the cross-strait relations, i'm very curious about travel. i didn't hear your comment, or a nested if you did, i don't immigration law are, faces or anything like that as a lawyer, but what kind of documentation is required? what's the percentage of taiwanese with the award to the mainland temporarily either to travel or to live or to study? is that i don't use all of china into denominator isn't 1.4 built-in, but of the educated prc folks, what percent, what did i want to ask and then following, what effect if any has been measured on the attitudes of those people who do engage in that kind of cross-strait travel? >> prostrate interactions -- cross-strait interaction started from visiting her relatives for the old soldiers from taiwan to meet in china, starting from the 1998 or 89, quite early. but in t

so although i go there, i did all my undergraduate, graduate work and of course professional work in the u.s. >> describe the kind of things you are an expert in? vanda: well, so in the morning when i'm in the good morning, people ask me that question. i tell them that i work on nontraditional security threats which really covers anything from organized crime, illicit economies, insurgency, terrorism. in the evening when i'm depressed after working on these subjects i'd say i work on how things fall apart. but both statements are misnoemers. in many ways what we call today nontraditional security threats, low intensity conflict, rebellion insurgency, crime, certainly, predates organized warfare, conventional warfare that so much -- came about. and more traditional than the so-called traditional warfare. and i say in the evening i work on how things fall apart, the two is fundamental misnomer since the key components of my work is organizing there are no such things of ungoverned domains. even illicit economies require organization, require rules and regulation. that's how we have org

but also in our undergraduate programs. entrepreneurship and innovation is a huge piece of where our focus is today, not just as a school but across the entire university. >> i.d., where are your students going to work after they finish and is it different now than five or ten years ago? >> our students go close to close and including international locations. we have more than 300 companies that come to campus to recruit our students and over 700 companies overall that recruit. we're seeing everything from multi-national companies that focus on marketing to finance-based companies and financial institutions, to companies that are more entrepreneurial and corporate innovation is a key part for them. we're seeing students going everywhere right now. the market is very good for these students. our placement rates are exceedingly high and i think that's one reason that our undergraduate program and our graduate program are so very highly ranked by corporate recruiters. >> do you still get as excited looking to the first day of
