IN DEPTH LOOK INTO THE TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP OF SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AND AGRICULTURAL & MECHANICAL COLLEGE AT BATON ROUGE: A FOCUS ON ENGAGING ECONOMY, DIVERSITY, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR COMMUNITY A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in The Department of Education, Leadership, Research, & Counseling by Aubry Gatlin Turner B.S., Southern University, 2006 M.A., Louisiana State University, 2009 May 2018 ©Copyright Aubry Gatlin Turner All rights reserved ii This work is dedicated to those persons who have influenced me to do and be great in everything I have done and do on this journey that I call, “The GOoD Life.” To my Dad (God) who never lets me down, who gives me the tools and power to forge forward, and who has placed His Word in my heart so that I can draw from it when I need more encouragement, I dedicate this to you. You called me into a relationship with You right before my mom passed away and as soon as I was going into college. Since that time, I really lived and enjoyed life. I have even realized what true freedom is. Challenges have come, but You turned those into teachable moments and opportunities for growth, which also helped me get to this point. For everything, I am grateful! To my wife who encourages me and who challenges me to be better as a husband, a great father to our children, a man after God’s own heart, and an educator, I dedicate this to you. We have grown together in this marriage, whether one or both of us were in school, without and then with our little guys, and with getting into good careers. Making this happen was not the easiest thing, but you certainly made it worth it. You are superwoman and you have made me see that we are a strong team. As I was able to work and be a “house husband” when you were in school, you certainly came through for me and did the same thing! I absolutely love and thank you for that. And to our little guys that made me close the computer and play with them often, this goes to them also! I needed just what they wanted: time together. To my mom and dad who have gone on to glory, and to my brothers and sisters, I dedicate this to you. Your successes helped me realize that, although I came from a house with holes in the walls and had to sometimes get by on government-assisted groceries, I did not have to stay within that life. Thanks for being examples and encouraging me to get my education. You all are the best family and I am grateful for it. iii Lastly I dedicate this to my mentors. You all have been there for me with encouragement and strategy on how to be successful. You never let me give up and you contributed to the passion that I have for education by showing me how you pursued and still pursue your passions. Thank you for keeping me on my toes. Thank you for checking on my wellbeing. Thank you for alloying me to be free to explore and giving me advice along the way. My hope is that I can be a mentor like you all have been to me, and even go beyond. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To the professors, classmates, colleagues, and friends who have been there to see me through to this point in my career, I thank you! To my committee members, Dr. Roland Mitchell, Dr. Petra Hendry, Dr. Neil Mathews, and Dr. Guillermo Scaglia, who have guided me through the doctoral process, I thank you. More than just professing to me as a student, you all have had dialogues with me that showed me your genuine interest in my success as a student and professional. I appreciate the time that you have taken to be there when I needed you, but even more, the commitment to guiding me in every step. Thank you again, Dr. Mitchell, for walking me through the Masters program also. I started on this graduate road with you and you have not disappointed me in any way. I can always rely on your great advice and your encouragement. Thanks for being a great mentor, an example, a leader, and a friend. Thank you Louisiana State University for providing me the opportunity to stand tall in the Purple and Gold! My experience will never be forgotten. From the antiquity of the beautiful structures, to the beautiful oaks, to the collaboration among professionals in the classrooms, to the awesome professors, to the rapid responses of emails from just about every office on campus, the Louisiana State University has been one of the best institutions I have ever encountered. I have made a great connection with this University, and I am very thankful that I did. Thank you Dr. Petra Hendry and Dr. Rebecca Owens for your willingness to critique my writing. I appreciate you all for being there when you really did not have to. You all have also been a great mentor and inspiration, letting me know that my passion for the love of people is prevalent. v And thank you to my wife, April, and sons Aubry, and Austin - the Turner clan! You have kept me on my toes and have shown me that forging forward was not optional. Together we stand! vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ..........................................................................................................................................................

MARISA SANDOVAL Legal Policy Advisor National Campaigns Coordinator 2 America’s Largest Most Trusted Conservation Organization Supports The Bayou Classic When it became apparent that Covid-19 would interrupt Bayou Classic 2020 and thwart the annual football battle on the field, I refused to accept skipping a year of investment and helping students, it didn’t sit well in my spirit. The National Wildlife Federation had built and fostered trusted, functioning, and working relationships with both campuses over the years and more recently, with the Southern University Agriculture Research and Extension Center. Somehow and in some way, that was not going to be interrupted. After employing a level of creativity and thoughtfulness, Bayou Classic 2020-21: A Battle of the Sciences was born. All that was needed next was the support of our longtime partners at the Lower 9th Ward Center For Sustainable Education & Development (CSED). Once that was in place, we went to work, and together, we built a team of partners, staff, students, faculty, and friends that were essential, every step of the way. With great intentionality, we centered the science, research, faculty, and student scholar capabilities of both campuses while highlighting a rich, regarded, and historic rivalry turned research collaboration. Research scholars applied their lived experience and scientific knowledge to highlight connections between climate change, environmental-related impacts, and the need to protect the Mississippi River.

  • SUBR Commencement 2018
    2 Southern University and A&M College at Baton Rouge Chancellor’s Report to the Southern University Board of Supervisors Significant Accomplishment/Achievements SUBR Commencement 2018 Southern University recently celebrated its Spring 2018 Commencement Exercise on Friday, May 11, 2018 in the F.G. Clark Activity Center. More than 650 candidates, including spring and summer graduates, received degrees. The SUBR spring graduating class included 419 undergraduate candidates and 198 graduate candidates. The class consisted of 137 honor graduates. Along with the class, the university commissioned three Army and three Navy officers. Ms. Angela Rye, political commentator and social activist, who can be seen regularly on several media outlets including BET, CNN, NBC, HBO, ABC, MSNBC, and TV One, was the keynote speaker. She stated, “My responsibility to you today is truth. My responsibility to you today is ensuring you are adequately equipped to survive in a 2018 America and in the America we create together for the future.” The political strategist went on to convey that she had a message for the graduates. Her message was to “wake them up” before they become bogged down by society’s obstacles. “We cannot keep talking about the problems, and not playing our respective parts to change them. Be the change. Be courageous. Be bold, like your lives, our lives, depend on it because they do. Create the community you know we can be. Create the country you deserve to see. Create the world in which you want to live.” The ceremony was presided by Dr. Ray L. Belton, president-chancellor of the Southern University System, and Dr.

  • Burnaway Keith Duncan: Bayou Classic, Fort
    FORT GANSEVOORT Keith Duncan: Bayou Classic, Fort Gansevoort By Daniel Fuller – April 14, 2021 Keith Duncan, Southern University Marching Band, 2020; acrylic with fabric on canzas, 68 x 108 inches, Image courtesy of the artist and Fort Gansevoort. When I was a kid, my father and I would watch anything on television that involved a ball and two teams fighting over it. One of our favorite days was on the final Saturday of November when Grambling State and Southern University would face off in The Bayou Classic. My dad worshiped at the altar of Eddie Robinson, the head football coach of Grambling for fifty-six years, who turned the small college into a football powerhouse. For me, it was all about the pageantry, the accouterment that surrounded the game. Unofficially dubbed the “Black Super Bowl,” NBC treated a national audience to glimpses of the whole experience. Cameras caught press conferences, fashion shows, the Thanksgiving Day Parade, Greek shows and step teams, and 70,000 students, alumni, and fans tailgating. But the moment everyone waits for, to quote the Nick Cannon classic, Drumline: “When the first half is over, the show begins.” With a 225-member unit in lockstep behind him, the drum major marches out to the 50-yard line of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. He high steps out with all the stoicism of a general. Everyone is at attention. He stops at mid-field and begins peacocking, whirling and gyrating, leading into a 5 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY, 10014 | [email protected] | (917) 639 - 3113 FORT GANSEVOORT series of body rolls.
