  • More Than Just a Game: the Impact of Sports
    MORE THAN JUST A GAME: THE IMPACT OF SPORTS ON RACIAL SEGREGATION IN ONE SOUTHERN TOWN by ROBERT L. ROBINSON NATALIE G. ADAMS, COMMITTEE CHAIR BARBARA BRICKMAN PHILO HUTCHESON DOUGLAS MCKNIGHT STEPHEN TOMLINSON A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Education, Leadership, Policy, & Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2017 Copyright Robert L. Robinson 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The research examines the impact of sports in the Civil Rights Movement, particularly addressing school desegregation during 1965–1971 in Valdosta, Georgia, based on interviews with nine Black football athletes who played for Valdosta High School during that period. The Valdosta High School football team had a tradition of excellence that was recognized throughout the state of Georgia. Valdosta and most of Lowndes County had a clear history of racial violence and bigotry. However, when the community was faced with mandated desegregation of the high school, instead of resorting to violence, the citizens focused on football. The outstanding success of African American football players and the entire time under the leadership of their head coach built a bridge between the White and Black communities. What could have been a period of intense brutality and community upheaval became a time of championships and glory. ii DEDICATION This dissertation is respectfully dedicated to my children, Ambree K. Robinson and Langton R. Robinson. It is my hope that this dissertation serves as evidence to them that the impossible is possible through hard work, perseverance, determination, and faith.

  • Fast Facts & 2017 College Directory
    Fast Facts & 2017 College Directory 2 Fast Facts Fast Facts Letter from the Commissioner The business climate in Georgia is one of the healthiest in the country, and continues to attract world-class companies to our state. In the 2016 Fiscal Year, the Georgia Department of Economic Development announced that 365 companies planned to locate or expand in Georgia, bringing more than 25,000 new jobs. We know the number one need of new and existing companies is a talented and skilled workforce, and with the number of jobs created in Georgia each year, it’s imperative that the Technical College System of Georgia, as the state’s top resource for workforce, train our students with both the hard and soft skills that will make them, and the companies they work for, successful. At TCSG, our presidents, faculty and staff are united in our mission to educate our students and move them into career paths as soon as they are ready. And through the leadership of Governor Deal and our legislators, initiatives like Complete College Georgia, the Move On When Ready dual enrollment program, and the Georgia WorkSmart Apprenticeship program are helping us do exactly that. In FY16, as always, the Technical College System of Georgia kept a laser focus on workforce development, and preparing students for the jobs that need their talent. We thank our many statewide and local partners for the opportunities they provide our students, and look forward to our continued work together to ensure a pipeline of talented, energetic and exceptional workers that will keep Georgia thriving.

  • Requirement 12.1 | Accreditation
    12.1 Student Support Services The institution provides appropriate academic and student support programs, services, and activities consistent with its mission. Judgment Compliant Non-Compliant Not Applicable Narrative Albany State University (ASU) is in compliance with this principle. Albany State University provides a broad array of appropriate academic and student support services, programs, and activities that successfully accommodate its diverse student body, the challenges to student success at all degree levels, and the instructional and research support needs of the faculty and graduate students. Although most organizational departments at ASU have some contact with students and provide some services to them, for some, such functions are secondary in importance to other, primary administrative functions. The academic and student support services highlighted in this narrative exist primarily to serve the needs of students and faculty in their development, well-being, and success in the teaching and learning environment of the university, inside and outside the classroom. Libraries are major academic support services for students and faculty, but they are not included here since they are addressed in Section 11 of this report. Characteristics of ASU’s Mission and Student Body that Warrant Academic and Student Support There are several noteworthy if not unique characteristics of ASU’s mission and student body that warrant particular and special attention in the provision of academic and student support services, programs, and activities. Chief among those is the two-year programming and access mission that ASU recently acquired when Darton State College, a largely associate's degree dominated institution with access admission standards, was consolidated into ASU.
