Students
take grad
tours
By Malcolm Plummer
FOR THE CHARLOTTE POST
SALISBURY — Livingstone
College juniors and seniors
toured Carolinas graduate
schools last month.
Browsing students and facul
ty members had a chance to
decide and plan for graduate
school on the overnight trip
sponsored by Livingstone’s
office of career services.
The three-school tour falls a
year after passage of
California’s Proposition 209.
The bill, which abolished affir
mative action programs across
the board, was the main cause
for a 50 percent drop in the
acceptance rates for black stu
dents at the University of
California’s graduate schools.
Guided by Judith Cowan,
Livingstone’s Director of
Career Services, the students
had an opportunity to meet dif
ferent graduate department
chairmen at S.C. State
University, the University of
South Carolina at Columbia,
and Winthrop University.
Even if they were excused
from classes at Livingstone,
there was still lessons to be
learned. Just ask Edburn
Jarrett, a senior English major
that got to attend the law class
at USC: “We learned about
torts - or wrongs. When some
body commits a tort, he or she
has committed to tort. We also
learned about subjugation and
collateral benefit rules-the
things that all plaintiffs attor
neys should know.”
Students also got a chance to
meet head of the Educational
Development Leadership,
Aretha Pickford. Urging stu
dents to apply for by the
African-American Professors
Program, Pickford spoke the
need for participants into a pro
gram which recruits African
American with bachelor’s, mas
ter’s and doctoral degrees for
disciplines where African
Americans are represented.
“We are offering you the
opportunity to be in control of
your own life,” Hckford said.
“Our program offers to those
accepted a $15,000 a year
stipend and an outstanding
support system.”
