Harold B. Winston, presi
dent of the Charlotte alum
ni chapter, is a 1959 grad
uate with a major in psy
chology and a double minor
in economics and socio
logy.
He is assistant train
ing coordinator for the Pre
release and After-care Pro
gram in the Adult Proba
tion and Parole Division of
the North Carolina Depart
ment of Corrections.
The pre-release program
puts an inmate through
four weeks of training.
“Our primary goal is to get
the offenders paroled and
to keep him from return
ing to the penal system,”
Winston explained.
Following graduation,
Winston moved to New
York City, where he
worked for the city Welfare
Department for six years.
He started as a counselor in
the children’s center and
later served as social in
vestigator and supervisor.
Winston returned to
Charlotte in 1966 to become
director of both financial
aid and career planning
and placement for JCSU.
He relinquished the finan
cial aid post in 1970, but
remained placement direc
tor until 1978.
“Our sphere of influ
ence extended far beyond
our campus during those'
years,” he noted. “I was
chairman of the Career
Planning and Placement
Consortium that included
all predominantly black
colleges in North and
South Carolina. These asso
ciations allowed us to have
placement reciprocity with
every predominantly black
college in the country.”
Winston was president of
the New York alumni
chapter from 1964 to 1966.
He is active in the JCSU 100
Club. As president of the
Charlotte alumni chapter,
he said, “It is my goal to
continue the good work that
this chapter previously
started.”

1964, became the first black
woman to receive Georgia

marked.
Dr. Yancey received
$1,000 and a plaque at a
luncheon, which was fol
lowed by a reception

“It was quite exciting to
receive an award for some
thing I like to do,” she said.
“Teaching to me is a lot of
fun.
“It felt good that my
colleagues and friends
chose me,” she added. “I
accepted it on behalf of my
former professors and stu
dents. If I’m a good
teachers, it’s because of
them, for they made me the
teacher that lam.”
Dr. Yancey was fea
tured in the “People” sec
tion of the August issue of
Jet magazine. “I was very
excited about being in the
magazine, and I received a
lot of nice notes and let
ters from all over the
country,” she said.
Dr. Yancey received an
M.A. degree in history
from the University of
Massachusetts and a Ph.D.
in political science from
