Council Of Black Students: A Case Study

This fall is my first semester at “Cougar Nation”. I previously attended Saint Xavier University in Chicago, where I held several leadership roles. At the beginning of my sophomore year (August 2014) I resurrected an inactive organization on campus called the African American Studies Diaspora Club. The organization’s mission is to encourage and celebrate the gift of knowledge, power, and unity existing throughout SXU’s diaspora of African American students. Under my leadership, the AASDC became the premier Black organization on SXU’s campus as well as an excellent service to the Chicago community. My work within the organization allowed me to be blessed with several related opportunities of service to the SXU community. I was dedicated

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) are experiencing low retention rates with first generation college students. The students are not graduating within a four to six year enrollment period, and or are not returning after their freshmen year. As the American workforce looks to colleges and universities to fulfill the workforce pipeline with educated diverse workers, HBCUs are in the spotlight to produce qualified minority graduates. Moreover, HBCU’s are looking to refine their methods of inclusion and buy-in, this will in-turn manifest a higher level of retention amongst first generation college students.

Herman Hudson was born in Biringham, Alabama in 1923 and grew up to get his bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees from the university of michigan. He had a long career at teaching at other colleges and universitys until the landed at Indiana University. During his time there he established all of the African American studies institues at the college and helped inprove race relations among the community.

“There is still some debate about whether racially identified higher education is necessary or desirable. But [over] 100 schools exist, and the basic question is, can they compete?” According to the article, “Can HBCUs Compete?” College students today do not educate themselves on the history and legacy that Historically Black Colleges and Universities hold. Normally, they attend an HBCU because of the Black culture that it will teach them, the many other college students who will come from similar backgrounds, and even the parties. When they actually get to an HBCU and experience it first-hand they learn that it is not a right fit for them; it might be because the lack of

These universities likewise have a great graduation rate in numerous remarkable fields securing the future achievement of these graduates. These foundations establish qualities and ethics into each one of their people, show them how to be effective, upstanding subjects, and transform them into remarkable good examples. Historical black universities and colleges help their people exceed expectations in their picked professions. These organizations were initially settled to allow African Americans to get further instruction and now it allows them to end up successful in the public eye too grasp their way of life and history. Keeping blacks on the road to improving their inner selves, HBCUS are Still critical. Black universities and colleges will dependably be important because they support the training, self-regard, and achievement of African Americans everywhere throughout the

I think that your third one would be a huge draw for black students on campus. There is a group that I know of that is centered on social justice issues concerning black people in America. I think that if we were able to get the flier and word out ( we could use those screens that usually advertise events on campus), there should be some willingness to participate from the group. I think the BSU would also be interested in this as well as the black fraternity and sorority. I know we can reach the greek students through Deborah (from bible study) and we can reach the BSU through Kandra (on the choir). I know Che (on the choir) is in the group I wrote about earlier and I also have the group leader's contact info if you need it. Concerning the panelists, we could invite Pastor Eric Mason, Pastor Terry Davis or his wife Pastor Pamela Davis and Pastor Gregory Ross. I'm not sure if you would be interested in having a more diverse group of panelists or if you'd prefer to have just black panelists since the topic is geared towards black students.

I am writing this email with a heavy heart and sadness this morning and requesting help in problem-solving this academic situation. As I read the mission statement for our university which states the primary goal is to “create a dynamic learning environment that promotes a student’s success.” The mission statement further says, “enhance the learning experience” so they can engage with their communities.

Beneath the history of HBCU’s, the table of excellence is what keeps the history and legacy alive. Numerous campuses have great mentors for the scholars to learn from. Some fellow graduates from the same seminary come back to mentor the scholar about the “real world” after college experience immediate bond. Alumni’s have also created a network with a plethora of opportunities and life-long companions. It is a gift that continues to give. A group named “Black Lives Matter” supports African Americans and enlarge black supremacy. Some think that African Americans need to have strong leaders and motivation. HBCU’s have nurturing environment that plays a vital role in personal growth, academic and development, and cultivating a deep rooted connect

Black Studies should promote the worldview and culture of the African people and their descendants, attributing to students’ comprehension of the subject matter and how the field relentlessly develops over time but maintains its prestige. Students throughout history have expressed the necessity of Black Studies being an outlet for “the political need for turf and place, the psychological need for identity, and the academic need for recognition” (Huggins, 1985, p. 327). In order to stress the importance, Black Studies in modern higher education should not be taught using conventional methods but instead through an African-Centered Worldview. Furthermore, Black Studies should reflect the Kemetic culture, as well as its philosophy as it relates

In today’s society, family has become a very relevant issue amongst Black Canadians. Ideally, Blacks would enjoy having a nuclear family as most would however, in many cases immigrants often have transnational families which sometimes results in children having single parents. Not only does this put them at an economic disadvantage, this also leaves children without a true sense of security and family, which according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, prohibits them progressing towards meeting all of their needs. Moreover, in the educational realm, Black students are adversely impacted by the scarcity of identifiable Black role models within their own schools. This in part impacts their future as “Most Black youth have a great deal of trouble

In life, many people are so concern about doing things for themselves, without ever realizing that the greatest feeling ever comes from, helping those in need. We often forget that life is not just about finding happiness within ourselves but passing it to others. I have a passion within me to serve and help the people around me. As an Ambassador I will get to do just that. For me, being an Ambassador is not just about showing off Jackson State but more so about letting them see why I call this place home. I want to show them why a girl from Chicago was able to be comfortable so far from home. Most people try to discredit those who attend historically black colleges and universities and that is why most students and investors turn away from

The United Negro College Fund, Inc. signed up for organizational membership for a single board. When checking GuideStar I saw that they have a $588,833,029 budget. I did create an invoice for them, but after talking with Chris we decided that it would be best to let your team know in case there was an opportunity.

On Sunday, December 20, 2015, I met with my manager concerning the complaint and alleged unknown statement(s). After speaking to my manager I was directed to write a statement concerning alleged statement from over 3 weeks ago. My manager informed me that I was alleged to have made the statement "Black lives don't matter." I do not recall making the alleged statement. I do recall having an open discussion with fellow TSO’s, discussing news events concerning the "Black lives matter" segment on the TSA TV. It is my belief that the two coworkers think they heard me make the alleged statement. However,they did not hear or listen to the entire conversation(s) or complete the statement attributed to me. I stated in full that,"Black lives don't matter. All lives matter" while discussing the news segment. I can't speak
