February, 1981...THE PEN...Page 11 CRMPU5 NEWS OPEN LETTER TO ALL STUDENTS: Major in the Social Sciences Let me take this opportunity to welcome each of you as you return to the college to continue or begin your studies. Let me also express my sincere wish that all who were not able to return, wherever they may be, are enjoying life’s richest bless ings. I trust that among your resolu tions for the New Year was a reaffir mation to do your best in realizing your fullest potentials. Education re mains a privilege which must not be taken for granted. So many persons would rejoice to be in your places to day. I cannot overemphasize my sincerity in stressing to each member of this community the importance which must be placed on EX CELLENCE. This is first an educa tional institution whose principal mission is to prepare all students to become knowledgable agents of change--capable, creative and responsible citizens of independence and integrity. The members of the faculty, staff, and administration have spent numerous hours preparing for what will be one of the busiest semesters in the history of the college. We in tend to launch the largest capital campaign in our history with a goal of $35m in ten years. Founders’ Day and homecoming activities promise to be the best ever. We will receive an Institutional Self-Study visit from representatives of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Col leges and Schools. Throughout this semester, we must address problems, both projected and unanticipated, which promise to test the college in very substantial ways. I know that I can depend on everyone in this community to do his or her part and more. You have my fullest assurance that we shall do all that we can and more to serve you and be responsive to your concerns and needs, to the extent that our resources will allow. With warmest wishes, I am Very truly yours, Prezell R. Robinson President The Division of Social Sciences has a long tradition of success here at Saint Augustine’s. The decades of the eighties will witness considerable advancement, effective instruction and program expansion. During the 1980’s, the existing disciplines in the social sciences such as criminal justice, history, political science, social studies, sociology and urban affairs will be completely revised. The process has already begun and will result in more career and professionally oriented majors. All disciplines will be upgraded and the level of instruction will be directed toward the above average students. Consistent with the mis sion of the college: the preparation of students to be capable agents of change, majors in this dvision will receive the best instruction our resources will provide. Alpha Kappa Mu at St. Aug. The members of Alpha Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society have plans underway for the Spring Foriim, 19§1. In addition, much discussion has been devoted to a 1981 Spring Induction of members and to attendance at the Forty-Third Annual Convention with Clark Col lege, Atlanta, as host chapter on March 25, 27, and 28, 1981. The theme of the convention is the following: “Involvement: A Man date for the Scholar.” Alpha Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society was established on the campus of St. Augustine’s College in May, 1950. Membership is based upon character, leadership, a cumulative average of 3.30. Sixty semester hours must be com pleted at St. Augustine’s College.

All courses offered in the division will be taught by highly compentent and well qualified faculty. The divi sion will initiate a concerted effort to attract seasoned faculty members who are qualified to offer upper level courses in disciplines that com-, prise the sequence of majors in the division. It is clear that the time has come to guarantee above average students entering this division that they will receive effective instruction from highly qualified, capable and com petent professors. Along with the projected advance ment and effective instruction in the division will come program expan sion. A new major in Public Policy is scheduled for the 1981 academic year should appropriate funding be acquired. This new major will provide our students another career option. It is important that above average students seeking degrees in public policy recognize that they will be ready for immediate employment or further study in policy-making pro cesses in such areas as health care, energy conservation, environmental protection, housing and other related fields. Internships and field experiences in government, social service agen cies as well as travel and study abroad trips will be integral features of all offerings within the division. However, only above average students will be considered or per mitted to participate ih such pro grams. Hoijors and independent study programs as well as cooperative education programs will be provided for the more disciplined and capable student. Therefore, the Divison of Social Sciences encourages students seeking meaningful, highly structured and coordinated, and intellectually challenging majors to enter the divi sion as a major. Any student desir ing a good opportunity to develop potentials in the social sciences should consult with the Division Chairman as soon as possible. Dr. Julius F.
