College-bound students can save time and money by taking advanced
placement classes while still in high school.
(NAPS)—The Advanced
Placement (AP) Program gives
students a chance to experience
college-level classes in high
school and opens the door to
earning college credit before
they ever set foot on campus.
Students get to dig deeper into
subjects they love, while building
the skills and confidence they
Exciting Changes Coming To The Advanced Placement Program
need to succeed in college.
There are more statewide and
system-wide AP credit policies
than ever; over 99 percent of
colleges have an AP credit policy
in place.
And, regardless of a
student’s AP Exam score,
taking AP courses can have a
positive affect on their college
applications. Admissions officers
un-derstand that college faculty
play a big role in developing AP
courses, so they know students
who took AP pushed themselves
to take challenging, college-level
courses.
New Resources
Beginning this school year, the
AP Program is providing all AP
students with free digital practice
resources. A new question bank
will help students master content
and skills with real AP questions
that their teacher assigns.
Personal progress checks
will give students real-time
evaluations of their work with
helpful score explanations. And,
the tools are mobile-friendly—
so they’re accessible anytime,
anywhere.
Other Changes
To increase their chances of
success, students can register
for AP Exams beginning in the
fall. The exams will still take place
in May. More than half of schools
that offer AP ask students to
commit to taking the exam in
the fall, boosting their chance of
earning a score that translates to
college credit.
The exam fee and the fee
reduction aren’t changing for the
2019-20 school year. However,
there are two new fees—one for
late registration and another for
canceling the exam. These fees
encourage students to commit
to the exams early and stay
engaged throughout the year.
Schools will provide students
with directions on how to register
and will place the exam order for
students.
Getting Ready
To access new online AP
classroom resources and register
for AP Exams this fall, students
will need to join a class section
online. That requires access to
their College Board account.
All College Board programs are
connected through one account,
so students who created one
for AP, PSAT/NMSQT, SAT,
or College Board Opportunity
Scholarships, are all set. They’ll
just need their user name and
password to sign in.
Students who don’t have
an account, can sign up at
collegeboard.org/register.
Parents shouldn’t create
accounts for their students—and
account information should be
held in a safe place.
More Information
Students and parents can visit
www.apstudents.collegeboard.
org for additional information
on the AP Program, AP credit
policies, digital tools, and AP
Exam registration.
For A Purpose-
Driven ROI,
Partner With
Those On The
Front Lines
by Rick Shadyac
continued on page 10
(NAPS)—My greatest hope
from last week’s historic Business
Roundtable proclamation
cementing the changing
concerns of some of the world’s
top business leaders is that this
statement becomes reality. This
idea that corporations deliver
more than profits deserves our
attention, respect, and for those
who can, help. Unsurprisingly
and perhaps understandably,
there are cynics and doubters,
but still, the statement of
governance, the one with nearly
200 CEOs signatures promising
a more compassionate, broader
and intergenerational take on
stakeholder value is an essential
first step for our communities—
current and future—that fall
under this expanded definition.
“The American dream is alive,
but fraying,” said Jamie Dimon,
Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan
Chase & Co and Chairman of
the Business Roundtable in
support of the shifting priorities
he and his peers outlined for the
pro-business lobby, which had
not amended its shareholder
value statement since 1997. The
intervening two decades have
seen a collective cry for a more
purpose-driven society while,
according to recent research
published by the Harvard
Business Review, companies
with higher levels of purpose
outperform the market by 5
percent to 7 percent per year.
(These are business folks after
all.)
As the CEO for the last 10
years of America’s largest
healthcare charity, ALSAC—
the fundraising and awareness
organization for St. Jude Chil-
dren’s Research Hospital—I
know a lot about dreams crushed
and dreams fulfilled. St. Jude has
answered many a parent’s prayer
for their child’s return to health
from a catastrophic illness such
as cancer, and has done so with
blind equity at the heart of our
mission. Since opening our doors
in 1962, we’ve treated thousands
of patients regardless of race,
country of origin or creed, and at
no cost to the families—many of
whom would never be able to pay
for the treatments, travel, housing
and more that’s required of this
journey that we cover thanks
to generous donors. For many
of our families, the American
dream never existed, was never
in reach. And when they leave
us, they face that reality anew.
The business leaders who have
put their names to paper, as our
country’s founders once did, are
theoretically accountable now to
their words and an ROI that isn’t
just measured by profit. I applaud
them for the bravery of their action
and hope this laudable statement
becomes reality. The pursuit of
purpose alongside bottom line
revenue and traditionally defined
shareholder return is the more
difficult, yet rewarding path.
The journey ahead for them will
be extraordinary; a test against
the cynics and nonbelievers.
But each can take solace
knowing the status quo is not an
immovable object when faced
with the tenacity of genuine
purpose. I hope they’ll channel
our founder, Danny Thomas,
who never wavered despite
many in the medical community
resolute in their beliefs he was
wasting his time trying to save
cancer-stricken children; that the
challenge would ultimately break
his heart.
The manifold survivorship
success of St. Jude over five
decades has proved false
