Destiny Bayemake, a rising sophomore at Bowie High School, didn’t think she was going to like the six-week summer science program that culminates today at Bowie State University.

For one thing, students aren’t allowed to bring their cell phones, and there’s limited free time.

But the science and math courses are free, and she had the chance to sample college life while living on campus Monday through Friday with nearly 70 other high school students from around Prince George’s County who participated in the six-week Pre-College Science Scholars Academy.

“I never thought it would be this interesting and that I would have fun … but overall, it was fun and educational,” said Bayemake, 15, who finished up her first summer in the program with her classmates today.

Funded as part of a five-year, $12.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation and now in its third summer, the academy at Bowie State is designed to increase participation by minority and other underrepresented groups in science and science teaching, said program manager Anisha Campbell, assistant professor in the university’s Department of Natural Sciences.Destiny Bayemake, a rising sophomore at Bowie High School, didn’t think she was going to like the six-week summer science program that culminates today at Bowie State University.

Students who commit to three summers can earn eight college-level credits by taking a college-level biology class their second summer and a college-level chemistry class their third summer. To be accepted, they must write a 750-word essay that shows they are interested in pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering or math, known as the STEM disciplines. Students must also supply two letters of recommendation from eighth- and ninth-grade science teachers. During their first summer, between ninth and 10th grades, students are introduced to college study skills and also take introductory classes in math, chemistry and biology.

SUBR’s Sumner takes his seat on Board of Supervisors

“This was an awesome experience,” Southern University’s Student Government Association President Demetrius Sumner said after becoming an official member of the system’s governing board.

“I am excited to have a chance to serve Southern University…,” he said. “I think the meeting went very smoothly.”

The Garland, Texas native’s comments came just moments after his first meeting as the student representative on the university’s Board of Supervisors when they met July 22 in Baton Rouge. He was selected for that position by student leaders at the system’s other campuses. He has also served as student member on the Board of Regents, the state’s top higher education group.

Sumner, who was elected earlier this year to a rare second term as SGA president on the BR campus, said he plans to draw on the assistance of student leaders on the other campuses. “I plan to hold phone conference calls and video conference calls with other campuses before board meetings to gain the input on issues important to all of us,” he said.

The senior political science major said his new board seat will provide him with a strong position as the Baton Rouge campus shapes its 2011-2012 budget.  “I will have a chance to play a greater role and have influence in how we deal with budgets and other financial issues involving the students,” he said

The Dillard University athletics department introduced Bernard Griffith as the new coach of its men’s basketball team at a press conference in Dent Hall on Thursday, July 28 at 1 p.m.

“This is one of those jobs you look forward to,” said Griffith. “We’ve got a good nucleus, a good staff, and we’re in the process of changing the culture.”

Griffith has compiled a 694-204 (.772) record over a decorated career that has included coaching stints at St. Augustine High School, Southern University at Baton Rouge, Xavier University and Jesuit High School. At St. Augustine, Griffith’s teams won 11 district titles, and made 13 consecutive playoff appearances and eight Final Four appearances.

“Bernard Griffith will bring our men’s basketball program proven success, leadership and integrity,” said Athletic Director Kiki Baker Barnes. “He will be able to establish a solid foundation for our program with regards to community involvement, awareness and recruiting.”

Following Hurricane Katrina, Griffith coached at the professional level. With Griffith as an assistant, the 2006 Dallas Mavericks finished with the best overall record in the NBA and reached the NBA Finals. Griffith has also coached several former NBA players when they were at the high school level, including Kerry Kittles, Pointer Williams, Torry Andrews, Hollis Price, and New Jersey Nets Head Coach Avery Johnson. At the press conference, Griffith addressed the importance of recruiting locally and getting the community excited about the Dillard Bleu Devils again. In return, he said his players will be active in the community; Griffith said he has already made plans for his players to volunteer at a local elementary school and hospital. Griffith also noted the importance of academics for student athletes. “Plan A is to get a Dillard degree with the best possible GPA,” he said.

FVSU Henry A Hunt Memorial Library nets two grants

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on
Two small grants will make a huge difference at Fort Valley State University. Recently, the Henry A. Hunt Memorial Library received $7,000 from two organizations: United States Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Library (NAL) and the American Library Association. One grant will change the way agricultural and historical research is accessed at FVSU. The NAL awarded the university with a $4,000 Cooperative Agreement grant to help the library create a digital repository for the College of Agriculture’s research—which is made available through the Agriculture Network Information System’s website. According to Agriculture Network Information System (AgNIC), the Hunt Memorial Library conducts research in the area of chevon, also known as goat meat; however, there is no accessible collective database. AgNIC is a voluntary alliance of members based on the concept of “centers of excellence.” The member institutions are dedicated to enhancing collective information and services among the members and their partners for all those seeking agricultural information over the Internet. Last year, FVSU become the first 1890s land-grant institution and only historically black college and university to receive an AgNIC membership. Other members of the AgNIC alliance—University of Minnesota, Kansas State University and Colorado State University—are dedicated to collecting full-text and web-based agricultural information resources such as forestry, swine and tree fruit. All three universities have multiple catalogs based on studies conducted though FVSU’s goat research program. The research is a well renown among agricultural community little information is available on the web.

“When I travel and tell people I’m from Fort Valley State University, they already know about the goat research we’re doing on campus,” said Dr. Annie Payton, director of Hunt Memorial Library. That means most of its research documents are only available at FVSU. “When you conduct a Google search, most don’t find anything about the research that the College of Agriculture is doing here,” the director says.

UDC to Study Monument Proposal for African-American Military Hero

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on
The University of the District of Columbia moved Tuesday to study the cost of erecting a monument to honor Col. Charles Young — a pioneering Black military leader who supporters say is often overlooked.

At a ceremony attended by elected officials, African-American veterans and representatives of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, the university also announced plans to establish a $500,000 scholarship for veterans in the name of Young, a one-time commander of the Buffalo Soldiers, an all-Black regiment within the U.S. Army.

University officials and supporters say the tandem efforts are meant to right a historical wrong and make higher education more affordable for those who have served in uniform.

“We need to transform education for the veterans because they’ve transformed America for us,” UDC President Dr. Allen Sessoms said at the UDC Theater.

Tuesday’s ceremony was as much a history lesson as it was anything else.

The ceremony was attended by Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, who both extolled Young for his perseverance in the face of racial discrimination and said he deserved more recognition than he had been given.

“It’s absolutely unconscionable that Charles Young doesn’t have a more prominent place” in history,” Gray said. “It’s only fitting that we have a monument for him.”

Holmes Norton called Young’s career a “saga in military tragedy.”

“Here is a man who gave all he could possibly give to the armed forces of the United States, risking his life time and again, wanting only to serve an Army that wasn’t sure it wanted to serve him,” Holmes Norton said of Young, for whom an elementary school is named in Washington, D.C.

Speaker after speaker recounted how Young who in 1889 became the third African-American to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, repeatedly proved his bravery and leadership.

Born in 1864 in Kentucky to ex-slaves, Young is perhaps best known for his role as commander of the 10th United States Calvary, or the Buffalo Soldiers, an all-Black regiment within the U.S. Army. He later served as a U.S. military attaché in Haiti and Liberia, and also served as professor of military science at Wilberforce University, Ohio.

Tuskegee delegation visits National Science Foundation to discuss further opportunities

Posted by HBCU Editors

ARLINGTON, Va. (July 26, 2011) — A Tuskegee University delegation, including President Gilbert L. Rochon; Tuskegee University Board of Trustees Chair Charles E. Williams; and Shaik Jeelani, vice president for research and sponsored programs on July 19 visited the National Science Foundation. They met with the director of the foundation, Subra Suresh, and managers of the various programs funded by the NSF at the university. The group discussed the university’s vision to enhance research and education at the institution. According to Jeelani, Tuskegee currently has active NSF grants worth $12 million.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…” With an annual budget of about $6.9 billion (FY 2010), it is the funding source for approximately 20 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America’s colleges and universities. In many fields such as mathematics, computer science and the social sciences, NSF is the major source of federal backing.

Texas Southern University Reduces Staff Positions as Part of Budget Reductions

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on
As other state agencies and universities initiated immediate staffing reductions in response to the state mandated budget reductions, Texas Southern University took many measures to avoid impacting people as long as possible. The state appropriation cuts resulted in a Total General Revenue reduction for Texas Southern of approximately $10 million for Fiscal Year 2012. Approximately half of that reduction is being realized through reducing operating and utility costs and limited tuition and fee increases. However, it still proved necessary to eliminate a number of positions to reach a balanced budget for the coming year.

A total of 56 staff members were notified on Friday, July 29, that their positions have been eliminated for FY 2012. In addition, 36 vacant positions were eliminated and 14 adjunct faculty positions will not be filled. This reduction amounts to approximately 4.5 percent of the total employees at the University.

“The Legislature worked very hard to protect state universities as much as possible from the very serious cuts originally projected,” President John M. Rudley stated. “We are appreciative of their efforts and support. However, the University still faces a serious reduction and has had to take a number of steps, including a Reduction in Force, to meet the budget limits for the coming year.”

“The eliminated positions come from across the campus in both administrative and academic units,” said Brian Dickens, Executive Director of Human Resources. “A thorough staffing analysis was conducted with assistance from an outside consultant prior to finalizing the list of eliminated positions to ensure the long term sustainability of all University operations and that students would be affected as little as possible.”

“This was not an easy decision and we are mindful of the personal impact this has on our employees, both those leaving and those who remain at the University. Even though it is happening at every state and local agency and across the private sector, we regret the difficulties this causes for all affected,” President Rudley stated.

RTVF Statement – Radio, TV & Film Department of Howard University

RTVF STATEMENT

In 2009, the University began an extensive assessment of its academic programs.

As part of Academic Renewal, schools and colleges (including the School of Communications) are going through programmatic changes recommended by the President and approved by the Board of Trustees in January 2011. The goal of the academic program renewal initiative is to strengthen our offerings and align our resources with our strategic academic program priorities and goals.

There are no plans to eliminate the RTVF Department in the School of Communications. This is a baseless rumor.

Any recommendations for departmental and program changes at the school/college level will be initiated and reviewed with appropriate faculty and student involvement as well as engagement with alumni and other key stakeholders before decisions are made.

Welcome to the University of Taste – Morgan State

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on
It isn’t an everyday occurrence that you meet someone who not only wants to have there own clothing brand, but has also made his or her dream a reality. HBCUBuzz reader’s, I would like to introduce you to Michael Spikes Jr., the creator of University of Taste. He’s a 19-year-old sophomore at Morgan State University, majoring in Business Marketing. When I read the email from him explaining his brand and what he was all about, it was quite evident that his brand and what he has planned needed to be shared with everyone.
How did you come up with your brand name of University of Taste?

I was sitting in the library with two friends discussing names; we couldn’t come up with anything so we said we’d come back the next day. Next day rolled around and we came up with names from Splat to Pen Society. Finally, taste popped into head because you think of taste as being what you like and different flavors; University came in mind as a different way to show the individuality and taste of a person. Here at Morgan state we are a very fashion forward campus, with styles from Afrocentric to urban.

What was your motivation behind creating your own brand?

When I was 13, my mom passed to sickle cell disease, due to this I wanted to do something to make my family proud that dealt with giving back. Also, at 17 I remember seeing the Haiti incident and wanted to give back. With all this, plus my middle and high school years I had began to plan my clothing brand.

Do you have a team or certain group of people that are helping you in your journey?

  • Troy Byam- Promotion of Outreach and Assistant Business Manager
  • Tatum Harrison- Public Relations Specialist
  • Jhsaad Sanders- Business Representative for New Jersey
  • Romez Laurence- Photographer
  • Artsy Laws- Community Outreach
  • Brii Newton- Photographer
  • Jen Nwaifejokwu- Fashion Editor
  • Shalonta Bowman – Administrative Assistant
  • Brittani Perry- Event Coordinator

Where do you see your brand in the next five years?

Right now I’m looking towards getting the brand out there to other campus, starting off at Morgan. In the 2nd year I plan on reaching out to other HBCU’s such as Howard University and Virginia State University. Also, besides just having shirts, I want to expand the brand by having snapbacks, bags, and sweatshirts. The 3rd year will be a transition towards special collections that will be in school stores starting first at Morgan University. The 4th and 5th year will be more expansion of the brand and also the creation of a magazine: Taste magazine which will include topics dealing with skateboarding, music, fashion, U TV network, “What’s you taste?” and lastly a documentary on the first year of the brand and also connecting with unique hip hop artist.

In two words, describe University of Taste?

Exclusive and trendsetting. Exclusive because everything we do is for the people who believe in standing outside the crowd and trendsetting because we don’t follow trends, we set them.

As you can see, Mr. Spikes is not your average HBCU college student. He’s an entrepreneur who has set out to achieve a goal and offer a quality brand to everyone! To keep up with the journey of University of Taste, “like” them on Facebook: University of Taste Clothing and also keep a look out for the debut of there website which will be released in late August!

Olivia Russell – Stylish Buzz of the Week from Howard University

Name: Olivia Russell
Classification: Sophomore
Repin’: Howard University

Describe your style: “My style is very liberal, the complete opposite of esoteric. My style varies from hipster, to ethnic, corporate to classic, or just chill. It’s all about how I feel that morning & that sets the precedent for my style that day. I’d say it’s very impulsive.”

Olivia is totally giving me “pretty girl swag”! From hipster to city street wear she completely owns each look. The simplicity of the long black blazer, tunic, and hat, was chicly put together. I must say not everyone could make it look as “fly”. The true definition of “it’s not what you wear, but how you wear it.” When it comes to her next look, leopard print and red will endlessly remain a favorite combo of mine. Her versatility in style confirms you can throw Olivia anywhere and she will shine!

Radio, TV & Film Programs At Risk Of Being Cut From Howard University

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on

The School of Communication’s Administration has considered cutting the undergraduate program in Radio, Television and Film.

The Department of Radio, Television and Film (RTVF) recently had a high evaluation during the Presidential Commission on Academic Renewal (PCAR) which recommends that the program should be better funded, however the Administration is moving on with old plans to reconstruct the School of Communications into more of a “School of Journalism”. Instead of giving the RTVF department a school of its own, the Administration will eliminate it all together. Students graduating in the year 2012 or later may possibly be at risk of losing their majors.

“I think its absolutely despicable that Howard would even consider cutting my major,” said sophomore RTVF major, Heather R. Taylor.

A petition has already been made by alumni and friends of the RTVF to help inform students, faculty and staff about this news. The petition goes into more detail about how the school’s Administration has called upon a “Blue Ribbon Panel” to put the plans into motion.

What is outstanding about this Blue Ribbon Panel is the complete absence of students, faculty, alumni and industry professionals in the areas of radio, television and film production. Likewise, what is the need for this external Blue Ribbon Panel after a nearly two year assessment process by PCAR, which concluded that the Department of Radio, Television and Film is a strong academic program that highlights the uniqueness of Howard University, despite years of underfunding? Lastly, why is an outgoing Dean [Jannette Dates, Ph.D.] whose publicly announced departure was for June 30, 2011, currently making dramatic decisions that will impact the entire makeup and mission of the School of Communications at Howard University?

“I wouldn’t think in a million years they’d cut our program,” said Senior TV production major, Gabrielle Martin. ”Howard was the perfect university to study RTVF. It’s the land of opportunity for people like us and I’d hate to see that taken away from others with the same dream.”

The department of RTVF at Howard University is a nationally ranked institution that offers degree programs in audio, digital video and film production and is the only HBCU that has a MFA in Film. Despite the department having an extremely low budget, students are still learning and expanding their minds in the field of media with the support of the faculty and staff.

Alumni and Friends of the Department of Radio, Television and Film will be sending a petition to the Howard University President, Dr. Sidney Ribeau, to prove that the Howard community is willing to fight to keep the RTVF program. They hope that Ribeau will reconsider cutting the program and continue to show support and commitment to make the School of Communication better.

“We should be looking for ways to make our school better, not cutting programs that matter to the people,” said senior film production major, Sehiya Newton-Boyd.

We encourage everyone to sign the online petition to help show your support for the Department of Radio, Television and Film. The petition will be sent to Ribeau via email and snail mail by Monday, August 1, 2011.

Family Oriented – One reason Hampton Student Malik Jorden attends an HBCU

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on
 

“I wanted to attend a HBCU because i felt like it was more of a family environment and they truly did care and want to see its students succeed.“ – Malik Jorden, c/o ’14 @ Hampton U

First of all, we give thanks to Mr. Jorden for sharing his Hampton Experience and we thank HBCU Buzz for providing the platform to share Mr. Jordens’ wisdom and our thoughts.

It is amazing the power that family has – what is family? For some it is disfunction, for others it is a safe haven from the hatred in the world.  Either way, family is unique and sacred to all in some form or fashion. To have an HBCU likened to “family” is the highest honor any person can give – because no matter what family is always there.

And with that being said it seems that some states want to take that family away by under funding (out of fear), merging with other schools (again we reiterate that families are unique) or simply stating that HBCUs do not need to cater towards Africans and that the past is in the past.

Just think about the power of your own family or someone in your family. What words come to mind? Trust. Unconditional Love. Understanding. Support. These are words that would never be assigned to a majority of the professors/deans at other much larger institutions of higher learning because tenure is oh so fascinating amongst other selfish reasons.

To have professors at Hampton University and other HBCUs, make the HBCU Experience “more of a family environment” is a true blessing. What this all translates into is at the end of four or five or how ever many years, you will graduate as a well rounded individual with a stronger respect and love for your self and your fellow sisters and brothers.

Nubian King Malik Jorden sums up the entire journey perfectly when he states

“My “experience” at Hampton is that students are very multifaceted. Students are able to party by night and still go to classes and do well.“

And what is that phrase that every family has said at one time or another “There is a time and place for everything.”  An HBCU is that place and it is your time.

If you are interested in attending an HBCU we invite you to visit our site and learn more about the experience or if you want to share your HBCU Experience as a student or alum you are welcome to complete one of our interviews. As always we thank you – the reader for taking the time.

With love and respect,
Your family at MyHBCUInterview
