Public Services programs at Valdosta State are designed to aid residents of south Georgia in continuing their education. The personnel in Public Services desire to learn of the needs and interests of area residents that can be met best by the university. Efforts are made to identify resources located in the institution and in the community to develop educational programs and services to meet community needs and interests. There are three major divisions in Public Services: Continuing Education, Distance Education, and Satellite Services. CONTINUING EDUCATION (NON-CREDIT COURSES) The Continuing Education Division oversees professional development programs, leisure-type programs, and adult and children’s programs, for persons in Valdosta and surrounding communities. The division presents seminars and courses for persons in professions, business, and industry. Some courses are developed especially to meet the licensing or certification requirements of specific professional groups. Continuing Edu- cation activities also includes Learning in Retirement, Children’s Programs, and Personal Enrichment Classes.

Howard, Vice Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Moderator: Dr. Kathleen H. Hicks Senior Vice President, Henry A. Kissinger Chair, and Director, International Security Program, CSIS Location: CSIS, Washington, D.C. Time: 9:00 a.m. EDT Date: Friday, September 25, 2015 Transcript By Superior Transcriptions LLC www.superiortranscriptions.com KATHLEEN H. HICKS: Perhaps you’re here to see Admiral Howard, who’s the vice CNO, and I’m going to give a quick introduction and turn the floor over to her. She does have a hard stop, so we’re going to do a little less Q&A, probably, today than we normally do. But I promise I will take it from my time and not your time. Admiral Howard is a 1982 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. She, early in her career, was awarded the Secretary of Navy-Navy League Captain Winifred Collins Award, given to one woman officer a year for outstanding leadership. She’s had a series of command – command positions – excuse me. As commander of USS Rushmore in March of 1999, she became the first African-American woman to command a ship in the U.S. Navy. In 2009 she deployed to the CENTCOM theater, where she commanded Task Force 151, the multinational counterpiracy effort, and Task Force 51, expeditionary forces. And in 2010, she was the Maritime Task Force commander for BALTOPS under 6th Fleet. She has served in a variety of positions on the OPNAV staff and in Joint Staff, where I first met her, and of course now serves as the 38th vice chief of naval operations.

In the past we have been fortunate to attract nine flag officers, including six alumni commissioned from the Holy Cross NROTC Unit. Our keynote speaker tonight is the highest ranking officer to come to our podium. Her precedent setting career has taken her from the Naval Academy to Vice Chief of Naval Operations. Bill McCarthy ’76 and Bruce MacDonald ’78 were instrumental in securing her agreement to come to Holy Cross. This evening we also recognize two men for their contributions. One, an alumnus and member of the greatest generation, served in WWII and the Korean War.

  • Jernigan on Collins, 'More Than a Uniform: a Navy Woman in a Navy Man's World'
    H-Minerva Jernigan on Collins, 'More Than a Uniform: A Navy Woman in a Navy Man's World' Review published on Tuesday, December 1, 1998 Winifred Quick Collins. More Than a Uniform: A Navy Woman in a Navy Man's World. Denton: University of North Texas Press, 1997. xxiii + 240 pp. $16.95 (paper), ISBN 978-1-57441-022-8. Reviewed by Pat Jernigan (Colonel, US Army (Retired) and) Published on H-Minerva (December, 1998) Women in the Navy Winifred Quick Collins was one of the first women selected to be an officer in the Navy. She was commissioned an ensign in August 1942 and served for twenty years before retiring as a captain in 1962. More Than a Uniform is an anecdotal autobiography detailing Captain Collins' early struggles, her Navy years, and some of her post Navy activities. The book is easy and interesting to read. While Collins highlights her book with many interesting personal stories, the result is disappointing in its lack of detail and limited research. The early chapters are inspiring and attention-holding reading. Collins overcame many obstacles with hard work, courage, perseverance, and luck. Collins was born Winifred Redden in Great Falls, Montana in 1911. She was briefly married to Roy T. Quick after graduating from college. Although she was divorced within a few years, she kept the Quick name. In 1961, the year before she retired from active Navy service, she married Howard L. Collins, a retired Navy admiral. Winnie Redden spent her early years in a prosperous home. About the time she entered school, her family's fortunes began to decline.

  • The Women's Army Corps and Women Accepted for Volunteer
    THE WOMEN’S ARMY CORPS AND WOMEN ACCEPTED FOR VOLUNTEER EMERGENCY SERVICE: A FASHIONING OF AMERICAN WOMANHOOD AND CITIZENSHIP Kristie A. Bilger A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS HISTORY December: 2009 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Susan Voso Lab Mr. Stephen Charter ii © 2009 Kristie A. Bilger All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor The focus of the study was to theorize and answer the question of why existing fashion theory in the U.S., as well as abroad, has not tackled the question of American womanhood and citizenship as evidenced in the images of the WACs and WAVES during WWII. Thorough examination of original source materials from pamphlets, recruiting booklets, memoirs, magazine articles, books, case studies, editorials, letters, photos and scrapbooks, a study of fashion has shown historical connections between existing gender systems, social orders, and political ideologies in WWII America. The present study focused on how women’s relationships to fashion transformed the evaluation of women’s roles and status during WWII and what clothing and adornment meant concerning women in the armed forces. The research also examined the concept of the new woman, and explored how the U.S. government successfully constructed a female appearance that satisfied both public and private concerns. The ways in which women’s roles and status changed during WWII was the result of the government promoting visual identity that typified traditional gender ideology and feelings of national belonging as women contributed to an American victory in the armed forces.
