SPRING SEMESTER
Febuary, 2006
Turning today^s students, into tomorrow's leaders
Nichole Florence
The Voice
You are your own boss and you
control your destiny. Therefore developing
leadership skills early can make a
difference, and impact the success of your
future.
Fayetteville State’s student leaders
were motivated to
control their destiny
by being non-
traditional and
thinking outside the
box at their first
Harbor Institute
Leadership
Conference held in
the School of
Business and
Economics building.
Over 50
student leaders were
in attendance, and
each student
represented one the
many campus
organizations.
The Harbor
Institute is an
educational firm that
is dedicated to
helping students
identify, develop, and master their natural
talents by teaching them not only how to
succeed in the classroom and on campus but
how to succeed in life as well.
Rasheed Ali Cromwell,
leadership facilitator and founder of The
Harbor Institute, addressed issues and
problems students face by taking a
comprehensive approach to help them
overcome barriers.
“It’s time to stop waiting for things
to happen and start making them happen,”
Cromwell said. “The true measure of your
leadership is being able to look back at the
legacy that you have left after you leave
FSU.”

Student leaders learn what it is to be a leader around campus. Seminar
encourages others to become leaders
education major and Student Government
Association president says, “1 agree with
him and I really liked his approach.
A lot of motivational speakers
choose style over message.
He also made us aware that many
of us don’t know our history... We really
aren’t aware of how much our family can
offer insight on our struggles.”
“The part about transformational
leadership was important along with needing
to know about your past, present, and fixture
by looking back at your family,” said Kaity
Parson, senior political science major and
reigning Miss FSU.
“The question and answer
segment was great too because he talked
about real issues.”
During the
conference
Cromwell focused
on the importance of
first educating
oneself about their
personal history, self
evaluation, and
empowerment.
He believes that
it is important to do
an evaluation of
yourself and your
history to avoid
letting the mistakes
of your family and
past determine your
destiny.
Cromwell also
encouraged the
campus leaders to
evaluate their
weakness and
strengths and to ask themselves what are
they are going to do about it.
He suggests way to tackle
inactivity by involving all students and
making things relevant to them.
“Organizational Leadership is
important. There must be a FSU blueprint
and it can’t be just SGA.. .You need another
organization to co-sign too,” Cromwell said.
According to Cromwell
all organizations should pitch in on so that
all of the campus organizations will be on
the same page.
Effective leadership motivation
can best be measured by how well leaders
get results but you can’t get results by
yourself
You can’t get results from just a
handful of students and only a couple of
organizations.
You need others to help you do it.
“You have to collectively get someone to
co-sign on your plan. Give someone a
chance to have input on the plan and give
them something to do,” Cromwell said.
The student leaders took the time
to brainstorm possible solufions for the
dilemmas they face on campus.
In the future they want to
encourage risk taking, recognition and
rewards, and empowerment allowing other
leaders to emerge.
The ultimate goal is to make
Fayetteville State University look good for
the students and administration.
“Overall I thought the seminar was
very informative. It was definitely
something every leader should have
experienced, especially the marketing part
about flyers and how to encourage people to
come to your event,” says Traci Holder,
freshman nursing major.
Keep in mind that you are
mastering your skills in your profession and
as a future leader. You control your destiny.
You control your cultural
experience here at FSU. All of these skills
that you’ve learned are useless unless you
apply them and follow through.
Students get involved in community

The Voice
As the year progresses, and the
close of the spring semester approaches,
we as students of this institution still have
obligations as concerned citizens to
uphold.
There are numerous positive
organizations that exemplify us as
“Bronco's” on this University.
Fayetteville State University offers a wide
variety of diversity in academics and in
the clubs and organizations depaitment.
A representative of the Habitat
for Humanity here at FSU, Sameria
Amerson, is an example of “Youth
United.”
The Habitat for Humanity is a
Christian housing ministry, which
includes volunteer workers, and people
that donate funds and building materials
to build decent housing for families that
are in financial need.
Habitat for Humanity, since
1976, has built more than 150,000 houses,
providing shelter to more than 750,000
people worldwide.
This is a great way to help give
back to the community what has been
given to you. If you want to be apart of
the “making a world of a difference, one
house at a time” organization, and help
make families lives different, there will be
an Interest Meeting, opened to
Fayetteville State University students, and
anyone else who may be interested.
The Interest Meeting will be held
February 25, 2006, on 310 Green St.
Fayetteville, NC, at 3:00 p.m. Come out,
and make a difference in someones life
forever.
