When students see 'We Run This' t-shirts, they
know instantly that Campus
Life Marketing Committee is
involved or in charge of an
event.
CLMC promotes events spon
sored by Student Activities as
well as hosting their own.
Some of the committee's
events include the Real Life
Forum series, "Late Night
Weekends," the Red and Black
Benefit, Red and White Youth
Field Day, the Hip Hop Summit
and the CLMC Ball.
"When there is something
going on [on campusj I ask
someone from CLMC," said
Ashley Fraser.

"Late Night Weekends" is at 8 p.m. until mid
night at least one Saturday each month in the
Thompson Center. CLMC chooses a theme or
activity and provides refresh
ments. Some of the past themes
that CLMC chose are poetry
night, the freestyle funny edi
tion hosted by B-Daht and
Friends, and most recently, old
school game night.
"1 thought the turnout was
great," said Ashley Taylor, a
junior chemistry major from
Queens, N.Y.
It gave everyone a chance to
get in touch with their child
hood and embrace it with fel
low Rams."
Fall 2010, through the Red
and Black Benefit, CLMC
helped raise more $650 for need-based families
at WSSU and Winston-Salem community.
"Everyone received above and beyond what
they wanted and asked for," said Joevan Palmer,
vice president of CLMC.
Palmer is a junior sport management major
from Syracuse, N.Y.
"With the budget cuts we are still a work in
progress to provide students with activities to
take a break from a long week of work," Palmer
said.

"We had to follow the char
acter development program,
which consists of family semi
nars and discovery groups,"
Shuford said.
"We'd meet with other stu
dents and teachers and have to
help develop our structure."
Unlike traditional schools,
Hyde focuses on community
and family ties, as well as
evolving their students into
leaders. This, Shuford said,
is what set the difference
between Hyde and other pub
lic school contemporaries.
Hyde's approach to teaching
has not only been effective, as
seen through Shuford, but it
has risen to national success.
Hyde was a U.S. News and
World Report bronze medal
ist for America's best high
schools in 2010. The school's
ground breaking program was
even showcased on a segment
of ABC's primetime news pro
gram "20/20" last year.
Hyde also incorporates
self-discovery into their cur
riculum, a process Shuford
said helped her find her life's
passion.
"[Hyde] allowed you to go
through different experiences
and take these tests to find
out who you are. I discovered
I had a passion for helping
people," Shuford said.
Shuford's high school alma
mater has founded its phi
losophy upon five words;
"Courage, Concern, Curiosity,
Integrity and Leadership.
These words became the stu
dents' mantra, Shuford said.
"It was something we had to
follow."
It was those words, along
with the motto and the family
like atmosphere of WSSU that
brought Shuford to this cam
pus.
"I came to WSSU on a tour,
and the atmosphere was very
friendly and that's the same
thing that we had at Hyde. It
was perfect," Shuford said.
The University's motto
'Enter to learn, depart to
serve' is synonymous with the
five principles of Hyde. It is a
philosophy that concentrates
on the quality of its students,
not solely numbers. Shuford's
transition from high school
to the college level was made
easier due to the similar fun
damentals of both institutions.
Shuford is a shining exam
ple of some of Winston-Salem
State's brightest students.
WSSU accepts and produces
students that are willing to be
molded into leaders.
"Historically, Winston-
Salem State has attracted
highly talented students,
academically, athletically,
and artistically," said Marilyn
Roseboro, an associate profes
sor of Mass Communications.
"We try to make sure the
environment here is such that
students feel that this is the
place that is designed for their
success."
This approach to nurturing
leaders continues to bring in
some of the best transfers and
freshmen classes in the region
to Winston-Salem State.
"There was no other place
for me," Shuford said.
