This issue of The AURORA casts a spotlight on a few of our far-reaching and critical areas of focus. We are most excited about two of the newest: Project Cradle Care and our partnership with the Girl Scouts of the USA for our 2012 Youth Symposiums. Project Cradle Care simply adds a formal title and structure to our continual Greetings from support of the March of Dimes and our signature initiative, Project the International Reassurance. For the last four years, we have been focused around the globe on H3: It's All About Me! Healthy Choices, Healthy Living, Healthy Grand Basileus Generations. Project Cradle Care provides a roadmap for chapters to follow in executing the Healthy Generations segment, with an emphasis on saving babies. My sincerest thanks to all chapters that participated in the inaugural year and I encourage all to begin planning now for January 2013. A Memorandum of Understanding has been executed between Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. and Girl Scouts of the USA to work collaboratively to promote careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) among students of color. Our 2012 nationwide Youth Symposiums will feature the Imagine Engineering program developed by Girl Scouts of the USA. We look forward to hearing about the results of these efforts in a future issue of The AURORA. We are proud to showcase Soror Brenda Smith for her efforts in leading the Soror charge regarding direction, support, strategic partnerships and oversight for Joann Loveless our national programs. The work of Soror Smith and her dynamic committee and subcommittees have solidified internally and externally that Greater 22nd International Service, Greater Progress is not just our slogan but the shining beacon of Grand Basileus who we are and that for which we stand. Two of our more recent strategic partnerships, grant projects through the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and through the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention's Act Against AIDS Leadership Initiative and the respective successes thereof are also included in this issue. Lastly, this issue of The AURORA offers you yet another opportunity to prepare for attendance at our 54th Biennial Boule in New Orleans, La. The theme United 4 Service: Eliminating Barriers to Worldwide Positive Change outlines the tone for both our deliberations and the activities included. This boule also marks the conclusion of an administration and the selection of the next -- be sure that you're present to celebrate our past and present and to help determine our future. 4 Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated International Board of Directors 2010–2012 I NTERNATIONAL Grand BASILEUS Joann Loveless Greensburg, PA Northeast Region INTERNATIONAL FIRST INTERNATIONAL INTERNATIONAL GRAND ANTI-BASILEUS GRAND GRAMMATEUS GRAND TAMIOCHUS Bonita Herring Chantay Canty Doyle Barbara L.

    CBCF CHAIR'S MESSAGE "AFoundation Expanding Opportunities" n he history of Black America is the history ofa people BTf who have overcome tremendous odds, triumphed over the adversity of slavery and segregation, and found opportunity in hardship. we come together for the 21st Annual Legislative Weekend, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is rAsproud to celebrate these achievements and to help chart a course for the future that willenable us to continue to build on the successes of the past. The civil rights era inaugurated by Thurgood j^ Marshall and other champions of justice was marked by the \u25a0 passage of landmark legislation banning discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, and the voting booth. Thanks to this watershed period of progress in our Congressman Alan Wheat nation's recent past, an unprecedented number of Black Americans are now beginning to realize economic security. Yetrecent events have shown us that we cannot take these gains for granted. Although a vibrant and growing Black middle-class willcontinue to make headway in the 19905, a dismaying portion of our population faces a bleak future as a result of governmental indifference and neglect during the last ten years. An increasingly hostile Supreme Court has begun to chip away at the legal underpinnings of our nation's antibias safety net and the current Administration has shown itself willingto play racial politics withlegislative safeguards against discrimination. In the face of these new obstacles to progress, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is rising to the challenge of developing strategies to address the inequities that continue to confront modern society and to create new opportunities for an increasingly diverse Black American population.

Lifting As They Climb: Race, Sorority, and African American Uplift in the 20th Century Gregory S. Parks* and Caryn Neumann** INTRODUCTION In the July 2015 issue of Essence magazine, Donna Owens wrote an intriguing piece on black sororities within the Black Lives Matter Movement. Owens addressed the complicated and somewhat standoffish position of four major black sororities-Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, and Sigma Gamma Rho-in light of the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. Among them, only Zeta Phi Beta had taken an unwavering stance from the outset to allow their members to wear sorority letters while participating in protests.3 This narrative probably would seem insignificant, except for the following: First, black sororities have a unique structure.

  • The Future of Accreditation of Nuclear Engineering Programs
    Session 2577 The Future of Accreditation of Nuclear Engineering Programs David M. Woodall Chair, ANS Accreditation Policy and Procedures Committee and Associate Dean of Engineering, University of Idaho While graduates of university nuclear engineering (NE) programs have continued to enjoy good employability during recent years, there have been declining enrollments in undergraduate nuclear engineering programs at U.S. universities. Such declines are symptomatic of the decline in engineering enrollment across all curricula during the past five years, but may also reflect the public perception that nuclear power is a dying technology. The reality is rather dramatically different, in that the U.S. presently produces over 20% of its electricity from nuclear power, and many countries around the world generate a much higher fraction. There has been no new nuclear plant ordered in the US during the past fifteen years, but by contrast the world demand for nuclear electric power is accelerating. Utility production of nuclear electricity in the U.S. is under competitive pressure from alternative technologies, including coal and natural gas. The pressure from natural gas is especially intense due to the availability of inexpensive natural gas used to fuel high efficiency, combined cycle gas turbine generators. There is also competitive pressure due to the deregulation of the electric utility industry nation-wide. This will lead to a head-to-head competition in production costs of electricity, with only the most competitive technologies surviving. In preparation, utilities are down-sizing their staffs and minimizing the cost of operation and production at each of their facilities. This has led to a decrease in demand for new nuclear engineers in the nuclear utility industry.

  • 2006-1877: Nuclear Engineering Freshman Student Initiatives—Lessons from Nc State University
    2006-1877: NUCLEAR ENGINEERING FRESHMAN STUDENT INITIATIVES—LESSONS FROM NC STATE UNIVERSITY Lisa Marshall, North Carolina State University In Fall 2001, Marshall became the Director of Outreach Programs for the Department of Nuclear Engineering at North Carolina State University. Her research interests lie in enrollment management and engineering education. She is a ‘geography of science’ doctoral student at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Before joining NC State University, she worked in enrolment management for several years at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. Mohamed Bourham, North Carolina State University Bourham joined the Department of Nuclear Engineering at North Carolina State University in 1987. He is presently the Undergraduate Administrator. As full professor, his research interests include plasma-matter interactions, from interaction with solids to liquids to energetic combustible materials to fabrics and microorganisms. He also is an associate faculty in the Department of Biomedical Engineering with research focusing on medical imaging. Page 11.965.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Nuclear Engineering Freshman Student Initiatives: Lessons from North Carolina State University Dr. Mohamed Bourham and Mrs. Lisa Marshall Department of Nuclear Engineering at North Carolina State University Abstract Enrollment increases in nuclear engineering programs prompts the need to revisit retention mechanisms to ensure students successfully graduate and learning institutions satisfy the demand for nuclear engineering graduates. How do we improve declaration of major prior to the completion of first year and how do we improve matriculation into the discipline? There needs to be a warm hand over from the recruitment-admission process to departmental retention initiatives. 1 This paper will highlight best practices from NC State’s Nuclear Engineering Department.
