Best & Brightest: Obligation To Native Culture, Community Fuels Academic Drive

Karletta Chief has come a long way since the days when, as a Stanford University undergrad, her father had to sell the family’s cattle to cover the costs of her engineering books. Such were the sacrifices of the Navajo first-generation college student and her parents, a minister and a Navajo weaver.

Cyber Diversity – online instruction

It’s not unusual that all 15 students in one of Dr. Maureen Eke’s African American literature course sections at Central Michigan University are White. What’s striking, however, is that Black students and their Black professor from a campus located hundreds of miles away are beamed onto a large television screen to join Dr. Eke and her students in class discussions and lectures.

Bluefield State Told to Reinstate Fired Professor

BLUEFIELD, W.Va. — The West Virginia Education and State Employees Grievance Board last month ordered historically Black Bluefield State College to reinstate Garrett Olmsted as a tenured professor.

Career Consultants

The usual requirements of a tenured faculty are essential, that is: scholarship and research, service, and teaching.
