In this position, she serves as the head of the United States Department of Justice. Together, we have also mourned the loss of lives and experienced the impact of that loss in our communities. We have heard a cry for justice across the country and an outcry of frustration when there is a feeling that an unjust Greetings from decision was made. We have seen expressions on the faces of children and young adults showing their anger and pain. We have heard the questions the International raised about the future of our young. Grand Basileus So the question that comes to mind is “What can we do?” I will even offer a more emphatic question “What must we do?”. We all have a responsibility to and for our youth. We have a responsibility to guide our youth and share our experiences with them. We have a responsibility to teach and train them about the importance of education; to quote the late Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. This summer, Sigma Gamma Rho will continue its goal of educating our youth by providing training opportunities at our Undergraduate Leadership Summit (ULS) in Indianapolis, Indiana, the place of our birth. The purpose of the Undergraduate Leadership Summit is to provide a forum where participants can assemble for professional, personal and leadership development. We also have a responsibility to show children and young adults our love. We must encourage them to love themselves, love one another and know that the Soror future is in their hands. As we move forward and look to the future of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, I have faith in those young bright stars that will lead Bonita M. Herring the way. I will end with a few lines from a song named “The Greatest Love rd of All.” In doing a little research I found that one of the songwriters, Linda 23 International Creed, wrote the lyrics while she was fighting breast cancer. Some say that Grand Basileus the words described her feelings about coping with great challenges that one must face in life, being strong during those challenges whether you succeed or fail, and passing that strength on to children. Eventually Creed lost her battle with breast cancer, but her song lives on as an anthem to celebrate youth and to promote strength, hope and love. Here are a few of the lyrics: I believe the children are our are future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be Yours in the service of Sigma, 2 Spring/Summer 2015 • The Aurora 3 Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated International Officers 2014-2016 INTERNATIONAL GRAND BASILEUS Bonita M.

Brian Tracy describes in the quote above people who continuously learn new and better ways to make the world a better place. Those people, he said, are the movers and shakers in society. It is fitting that this edition of The Aurora magazine focuses on “the undergraduate.” Undergraduates are the movers and shakers -- the lifeblood of the organization -- for the indefinite future. Senior Reporter Crystal Starkes discusses through dialogue with South Carolina Area Coordinator Erika Williams and members Tina Travis, Cassandra Hudley, Jessica Banks, Domanique Abner and Lakia Barr, the lifelong commitment of being a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. that extends far beyond college graduation. An examination of the Undergraduate Leadership Summit to be held at Butler University in Indianapolis, Ind. in July will show how training is paramount to transitional skills. By training undergraduate members how Soror to be leaders yields transferable professional, organizational and personal Glyndell B. development. Among the highlights of the summit are resume writing workshops, mock interviews, graduate school fair, corporate preceptorship Presley opportunities, advisor certification training and an open forum with the national leadership. Editor-In-Chief This edition also features the Golden Alert, Swim 1922 Road Trip, plus Sigma Spotlight, Alumnae On the Move, Undergraduate Pulse, Affiliate News and ‘Props. As we continue to nurture the movers and shakers of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. let us take on Dr. Robert H. Goddard’s thinking that we “resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.” Happy Reading, 4 Spring/Summer 2015 • The Aurora 5 “Unity is strength ... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.” - Mattie Stepanek Greeting from the International Corporate Headquarters of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc! As the sorority year comes to a close, we approach the final stretch to the Undergraduate Leadership Summit and the fiscal year closeout.

    With Determination and Fortitude We Come to Vote: Black Organization and Resistance to Voter Suppression in Mississippi

    WITH DETERMINATION AND FORTITUDE 195 With Determination and Fortitude We Come to Vote: Black Organization and Resistance to Voter Suppression in Mississippi by Michael Vinson Williams On July 2, 1946, brothers Medgar and Charles Evers, along with four friends, decided they would vote in their hometown of Decatur, Missis- sippi. Both brothers had registered without incident but when the men returned to cast their ballots they were met by a mob of armed whites. The confrontation grew in intensity with each step toward the polling place. After a few nerve-racking moments of yelling and shoving, the Evers group retreated, but the harassment did not end. Medgar Evers recalled that while they were walking away some of the whites followed them and that one man in a 1941 Ford “leaned out with a shotgun, keep- ing a bead on us all the time and we just had to walk slowly and wait for him to kill us …. They didn’t kill us but they didn’t end it, either.” The African American men went home, retrieved guns of their own, and returned to the polling station but decided to leave the weapons in the car. The white mob again prevented them from entering the voting precinct, and the would-be voters gave up.1 1 This article makes use of the many newspaper clippings catalogued in the Allen Eugene Cox Papers housed at the Mitchell Memorial Library Special Collections Department at Mississippi State University (Starkville) and the Trumpauer (Joan Harris) Civil Rights Scrapbooks Collection at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History in Jackson, Mississippi.

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

    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.
