Howard fell behind 17-0 to start the game, rallied to get within two before a late push proved to be the difference as 18th ranked Georgetown escaped the upset and shook off the upset-minded Bison, 62-48 before 8,120 at the Verizon Center.

Howard (3-6) could get nothing going as the Hoyas bolted out to a 17-0 lead. Using a combination of some suffocating defense and baskets off turnovers, Georgetown took control.

Dadrian Collins’ three pointer at the 10:39 mark was the first basket by Howard and it appeared to help settle the young Bison squad as they worked their way back to trail 30-17 at the half. Collins was able to get his team back into the game with eight first half points.

Georgetown (8-1) was able to maintain a double-digit deficit before the Bison began to scrap and claw their way back in the game. Howard would go on a 23-12 run over the first 13 minutes to whittle the lead to 42-40 with 7:33 in the second half.

University of Maryland Eastern Shore gained an insurmountable lead against Mercy College (Megan Raymond)

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. – Four University of Maryland Eastern Shore men’s basketball players tallied double figures in the Hawks 95-69 win over Mercy College Saturday. Ishaq Pitt had a game-high 18 points shooting an impressive 75 percent (6-of-8) from the field. Percy Woods marked his first double-double of the season with a 16-point 10-assist performance.

Pitt, a freshman, scored 12 of his 18 points from inside the paint. He has consistently been a physical guard this season, making many of his points from within the lane. Due to his strong play near the rim he often is sent to the free-throw line. Pitt had the second best free-throw percentage of the game making 6-of-7 (.750) at the charity stripe.

Two of Pitt’s free throws gave the Hawks a 10-point (27-17) lead with 8:14 remaining in the first half. Following his free throws, Mercy made a slight cut into the lead, but a three pointer by Woods put UMES up by 12 points.

Woods was 4-of-6 (.667) from behind the three-point arc. He was 6-of-11 (.545) from the field and dished out his first double figure assist performance. One of Woods assists came during a run late in the first half to give UMES its second highest lead of that period. Woods dished the ball to Hillary Haley at 2:07 in the lane for a good lay-up. Haley’s score gave the Hawks a 21-point lead (48-27) late in the first half.

Haley had 17 points for the Hawks in his 30 minutes of play. He knocked down five shots from the field and was a team-best 7-of-9 (.778) at the free-throw line. With the crowd roaring behind the Hawks, Haley received a pass from Woods who stole the ball from a Mercy guard, and rushed down the court to dunk on a Maverick defender. Haley completed the dunk and received a foul on the play.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC — The perfect season for the Winston-Salem State University Rams came to an end today, as the Wayne State University Warriors defeated the Rams, 21-14 in the NCAA DII Semi Finals at Bowman Gray Stadium.

The Rams finish their season at 13-1, while Wayne State (12-3) advances to next week?s NCAA DII Championship Game. They will face the winner of the Delta St./Pittsburg St. winner.

Wayne State would take little time to get on the scoreboard, as they took the opening kick, and four plays later Mickey Mohner would find Josh Renel and we would make the Rams miss tackles on his way to a 25 yard touchdown reception.

The WSSU Rams would take the ensuing kickoff and on the first play Kameron Smith would go up top to an open Jameze Massey deep in Warrior territory, but he ball glanced off of Massey?s fingertips. WSSU would pick up a first down on a Smith to Juhuann Butler 13 yard pass, but the Rams would stall and have to punt.

Neither team would be able to do much on their next possession and after a series of punts, Wayne State would take over with 2:54 l4ft in the first quarter. But Mohner would drop back and his pass downfield to would be picked off by WSSU?s Darryl Pulliam.

The Rams would move into Warrior territory as the second quarter began, but on fourth and 11, Smith?s pass to Jamal Williams would sail high and WSSU would turn the ball over on downs.

Wayne State would take the ball and march downfield, going 80 yards in 12 plays, capped by a Mickey Mohner one yard run, pushing Wayne State?s lead to 14-0.

Down by their largest deficit of the year, WSSU would take the kickoff and march downfield once again deep into WSU territory, but on fourth down, Kameron Smith?s pass to Tehvyn Brantley would be broken up on a hard hit near the goal line, giving the ball back to Wayne State.

Winston-Salem State would hold and force a punt. On their first play Nicholas Cooper would bust through the defense for a 20 yard gain and Kameron Smith would find Dominique Fitzgerald for a 10 yard pass and catch before Smith would find Juhuaan Butler on a 26 yard corner pattern for a score.

Wayne State would take a 14-7 lead into the locker room at the half, and the Rams would be looking to make some adjustments while also regrouping to take the ball first in the second half.

FVSU attempts to resolve fiscal and administrative issues after SACS warning

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on
On December 6th, Fort Valley State University received an accreditation warning by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and has a year to resolve those issues. Savannah State was also reprimanded along with FVSU. Even though FVSU’s status has changed, the university still has its full accreditation. The warning does come one year after SACS had awarded FVSU with a 10-year reaffirmation of accreditation in December 2010.

In a statement FVSU President Larry E. Rivers said that the university is working diligently to resolve any questions SACS have in regard to fiscal and administrative issues.

“Fort Valley State University has been involved in a multiyear effort to enhance its fiscal procedures, and in that effort has benefited through assistance from the United States Department of Education, National Science Foundation, Georgia Board of Regents and Georgia Department of Audits,” said FVSU President Larry E. Rivers. “Since all issues had not been resolved completely, we knew that a warning was a possibility. We had hoped, however, that our progress would have allowed for another year of monitoring at the most. Still, we respect SACS and will work to resolve its concerns fully,” Rivers added.

Trustees vote to raise tuition fees by 13% at Winston-Salem State

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on
Fees and tuition at Winston-Salem State University will increase by 13 percent next year under a plan approved by the university’s board of trustees Friday at its quarterly meeting.

Yearly tuition and fees are $4,513 this year. The increase will mean a jump of $594, to a total of $5,107.

Chancellor Donald Reaves said the jump in fees and tuition is needed to help make up for deep cuts in state funding. WSSU has sustained $31 million in state budget cuts over the past three years.

“There are good reasons as to why we need to raise tuition, and that is to serve the critical needs of our students,” said Reaves, who is coming off a monthlong medical leave. “We need the revenue to support that.”

Officials with the UNC system said in the fall that it would allow its member institutions to exceed the mandated 6.5 percent cap on tuition and fee increases so they could “catch up” to the rates charged by peer institutions and bring in much-needed revenue.

Peer institutions are universities of similar size and curriculum.

WSSU is the least expensive among its peer institutions, which includes such schools as Norfolk State University and Tennessee State University.

Even with the increase, WSSU will remain one of the least expensive schools among its peers.

The UNC system’s board of governors is expected to vote on the rate increases at its January meeting.

Reaves said the university needs to take advantage of the “catch-up” opportunity. “You won’t see this kind of increase every year,” Reaves said.

Still, students will suffer, said junior Moriah Suber, who was studying for her final exams when she learned of the new increases.

“I don’t understand why they do it if the goal is to keep students in school,” said Suber, who predicted the increase would cause a financial hardship for many students. “For me, there’s nothing I can do about it but pay and try to stay in school.”

The increases were determined by a campus committee that included staff members and seven students.

Maya Barnes, a.k.a. “My”
HBCU: Hampton University
Classification: Senior
Major: Broadcast Journalism
Hometown: Prince George’s County, MD

Lights! Camera! Fashion! That is what people think of when Maya Barnes walks into a room. Barnes’s style is a mixture of Urban Outfitter and American Apparel, or as Barnes calls it “Urban Apparel”.

She is a high-waist lover, and she keeps the jewelry at a minimal. “I usually just throw on a bunch of rings. [I’m] not really into bracelets and bangles. I think they’re quite annoying,” said Barnes.

She admits to being disgusted with shopping; she says she doesn’t like malls because she is too much of a picky person.  “I wish there was a store catered directly to me,” said Barnes.

Barnes tries not to be too complicated whenever she does decide to shop. She tends to browse through clothes and snag whatever stands out to her. You can find her browsing and snagging either at your nearby H&M or thrift store.

Barnes says she doesn’t have a “fashion icon”, but Solange is up there in her rankings. “I love her style and she doesn’t go overboard by trying too hard,” Barnes said.

This fashion diva is not into fashion as much as the public thinks. “I just like expressing my personality. I’m not a fashion junkie,” said Barnes. “I don’t prowl on Lookbook, or surf the web for “fashionista” stuff. I might even miss ‘trends!’”.

Barnes feels that people assume since she has been in several fashion shows that she is solely into fashion, but Barnes is also a photographer and videographer, with dreams of one day becoming a film director. She speaks American Sign Language and she is a hip-hop enthusiast.

In her spare time, you can find her cutting and destroying shorts, listening to good music, and cheering for her favorite basketball team, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Accessory Fashion :: The Bow Tie Chronicles [Pt. 1]

Posted by Jecoby Carter
Posted on

Every man should have at least two distinct pieces of clothing in their closet. One is a button-down shirt, and the other is a neck tie, or bow tie. These essential items are more of an investment rather than just shopping expenditures. A bow tie can change an outfit from serious and formal, to playful and relaxed. Also bow tie’s give men the chance to express themselves in a masculine, and direct form. From blood red power bow tie’s to more welcoming polka dot patterns, bow tie’s are one of the hottest items on trend for the next 3 seasons, and should always remain a classic staple in any gentleman’s closet.

With that being said, I recently sat down with a guy by the name of Marcus Smith (pictured above), who attends Albany State University in Albany, GA, to discuss his launch, and very own brand of hand made designer bow tie’s. His bow tie’s are exactly what Style Trend Setters like myself, and many of you are are looking for. His bow ties mix classic styles with today’s hip signature trends.

What was your inspiration to start a bow tie line??
This may sound like a funny story, but I am a business major and we are required to dress in business attire everyday, but wanting to infuse my style into my business clothing I decided to make a bow tie to stand out. The bow tie went over well with everyone, so I decided to create them for others.

That must have been an interesting feeling??
It was, I never intended to have a full line, but many people told me that the bow tie I made was really cute, and they wanted me to make them one.

What kind of pieces center around the line??
Right now John Doe has custom, handmade bow ties with, and we have recently introduced bow tie necklaces. We are also working on some custom hair bows for the ladies.

Who do you collaborate with to come up with design ideas??
I come up with the concepts and bow tie ideas. I find inspiration from everyday things in life then interpret them into my bow ties.

Is there a target audience??
There is no specific audience; I want EVERYONE from young to old to own a John Doe. Dress them up, dress them down, just put their own style and spin with my bow ties!

Where do you see this line within the next 3 years??
Within the next 3 years I see major things from John Doe! I want my bow ties on the necks of the hottest celebrities. I see myself in New York, Paris, Milan and anywhere else that has a fashion week! I believe that you have to dream big to do big!

His Excellency Sir Arthur Foulkes, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, will journey from Nassau to Miami Gardens to salute FMU’s Summer and Fall 2011 graduating classes. The island nation’s Commander-in-Chief will serve as keynote speaker during the Saturday, December 10, ceremony. The event, which is scheduled for 8:30 a.m., will be held in the A. Chester Robinson Athletic Center.

“There is no university in South Florida, and, indeed, the world, that better prepares students to become world leaders than Florida Memorial University,” said Dr. Henry Lewis III, president of FMU. “Florida Memorial has high standards for our students and graduates. We aim to prepare our students to succeed in this increasingly competitive and global marketplace. We are honored to expose future world leaders and the entire community to such a distinguished and world-class champion of freedom.”

His Excellency Sir Foulkes was born in Mathew Town, Inagua. He spent his professional career as a journalist, supporter of Bahamian Independence, politician and civil-rights advocate. His distinguished contributions in service of the Bahamian people include elections to Parliament; ambassadorships to China and several European countries; founding the Free National Party and being knighted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. In 2010, Queen Elizabeth II appointed Sir Foulkes to the position of Governor-General and her Representative in The Bahamas. His Excellency spent his adult life fighting for freedom and equality and will encourage more than 150 FMU graduates to do likewise.

Senior Gerald Cook has been selected to intern at the Alabama House of Representatives (Nicola Lawler)

Talladega, Alabama—An unique opportunity awaits a Talladega College senior in Montgomery, Alabama this spring. Graduating senior, Gerald Cook was selected to be an intern with the House of Representatives for the Alabama Law Institute beginning February 2012.

As a legislative intern, Mr. Cook will get to work with and for Alabama lawmakers during the 2012 Regular Session. Cook remarks that the selection was a great surprise and he worked hard to obtain it. A Talladega native, Cook is a History and Pre-Law major and he is the Senior Class President. He is a former Crimson Ambassador (the official host/hostess organization for Talladega College), a member of the Talladega College 2011—2012 Honda Campus All-Star Challenge Team, and has served as the Chaplain for the Pre-Alumni Council for 2 years. He was also the SGA Vice President for the previous academic school year, and the year prior to that, he was the SGA Speaker of the House.

Amidst the rigors of studying and extracurricular activities, Mr. Cook maintains a 3.45 GPA.

I find Mr. Cook to be intelligent, focus-driven, a good time manager, and he works well under conflict and stressful conditions. His passion for law and politics made him an easy selection by me for consideration in applying for an internship at the Alabama Legislature.”

The internship program was established by the Alabama Law Institute.  Interns must be a junior or higher in college or graduate school, and either be Alabama residents or attend an Alabama college or university. As an intern, Mr. Cook will be allowed to participate in the legislative process of state government.

B-CU School of Education Earns Continued Accreditation by NCATE Through 2018

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on
Studies show that teacher quality is the most important factor in P-12 student achievement. But how do we know that our children’s teachers enter the classroom ready to help them learn? Professional accreditation is one way to ensure the public that schools of education are graduating well-qualified teachers ready for today’s classrooms.

B-CU’s School of Education has proven its commitment to producing quality teachers for our nation’s children by achieving continued accreditation this month through 2018 under the performance-oriented standards of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the organization responsible for professional accreditation of teacher education.

According to the action letter from Dr. James G. Cibulka, President of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the NCATE Board of Examiners have been most impressed with the cooperation received from B-CU faculty, staff, and administration. This accreditation decision indicates that the unit and its programs meet rigorous standards set forth by the professional education community.

Dr. Carol B. Johnson, dean of the school of education shares her praise with the School of Education team.

“All faculty and staff are especially proud that special congratulations were conveyed by the Unit Accreditation Board because no areas for improvement relative to any of the standards were cited.”

In addition, Dr. Johnson commends faculty and staff in the School of Education for modeling caring, competent, and committed educators who, she says, always strive for what is most beneficial for all students.

NCATE-accredited schools must meet rigorous standards set by the profession and members of the public. Teacher candidates must have in-depth knowledge of the subject matter that they plan to teach as well as the skills necessary to convey it so that students learn. The college or university must carefully assess this knowledge and skill to determine that candidates may graduate. The institution must have partnerships with P-12 schools that enable candidates to develop the skills necessary to help students learn. Candidates must be prepared to understand and work with diverse student populations. College and university faculty must model effective teaching practices. And the school, college, or department of education must have the resources, including information technology resources, necessary to prepare candidates to meet new standards.
