SPEAKER MA Y12
FSU Alumni Convocation Speaker Named
Dr. Westcott Delivers Founders’ Day Address
Dr. Jacqueline Renee Westcott, Commissioner, North Carolina Department of Social Services,
and an alumnus of Fayetteville State University, was the main speaker in Founders’ Day cere
monies April 15 in the J.W.Seabrook Auditorium.
Dr. Westcott was introduced by Dr. Charles “A” Lyons, Jr., Chancellor of Fayetteville State
University.
Dr. Westcott, a Goldsboro, NJC. native, said that education can provide the solution to the
nation’s social problem.
"Solutions to problems in education and social services can be solved by working hand in hand.
We should look at problems in education and social services as opportunities to become more'
responsive to human needs. Too often we tend to look at the effects rather than assessing and
evaluation the problems,” said the Commissioner.
One of the major problems that the social services workers and university - level educators
can solve together, Dr. Westcott said, is the dropout. One way to do that is to change the tra
ditional methods of education.
“We must leave the lectern and begin to listen to the students because' they have something to
say. Keep in mind that the student has a responsibility to learn and perhaps by using this method
we can achieve at a higher rate,” she said.
“Teachers must delete the obsolete methods in education,” she said, “and upgrade programs'
to meet the challenges that face us.”
Other participants in the program were Nehemiah Parker, President of the FSU National Alumni
Association; Dr. G. L. Butler, Chairman FSU Trustee Board; Dr. William C. Brown, Vice- Chan
cellor for Academic Affairs; Mrs. Valeria Fleming, Vice President of the University Senate; and
Keith Robertson, President of the Student Government Association.
Music was furnished by the University Choir under the direction of Mrs. Mary T. Eldridge
and the University Band directed by James Evans.
Mrs. Helen Pierce, Miss Alumni 1972 and Terecia Melvin, Miss FUS, placed floral tributes
during pilgrimage ceremonies.
The occasion was marked by a note of sadness as Dr. J,W.Seabrook, President- Emeritus
of Fayetteville State University, was ill and could not participate In the program.

etteville State University presented a film, "King: A Filmed
