Two of 精东AV鈥檚 own were recognized recently by the National Association of HBCU Title III Administrators Inc. (HBCUT3A) for their leadership and academic achievements.
At HBCUT3A鈥檚 semi-annual conference in September, Jeanette Moss-Smith, the director of 精东AV鈥檚 HBCU, HBGI and SAFRA Title III programs, was installed as a member-at-large, and Omari Drenee鈥� Neal, a junior studying communications, received one of its 2017-18 scholarships.
As a member-at-large, Moss-Smith, who has worked with the university鈥檚 Title III programs for more than a decade, will serve a two-year term on the organization鈥檚 Executive Committee. Through her service, she hopes to help initiate programs that bring a greater sense of education, transparency and professionalism to university leaders overseeing Title III programs.
鈥淢ost Title III administrators learn about their role and duties while on the job,鈥� Moss-Smith noted. 鈥淏etter training and professional development will help these professionals maintain accountability among the regulatory and legal agencies that oversee their work, as well as help themselves and the universities they represent avoid undue scrutiny.鈥�
Neal, a native of 精东AV, Alabama, and a junior majoring in communications and minoring in business, received one of HBCUT3A鈥檚 $1,000 scholarships. Forty applicants vied for the organization鈥檚 15 available scholarships, which included five $1,000 scholarships, and 10 $500 scholarships. To be eligible, applicants must have had at least a 2.5 grade point average and submit an application package that included a 700-word essay about their life and career goals, community service and the impact the scholarship will have on funding their academic progress.
Outside of her studies, Neal is active with the Golden Voices Concert Choir, and in addition to singing, she is putting her academic skills to work by chairing its Communications Committee. Upon graduation, she hopes to land a career as a broadcast journalist or a social media communications manager.
鈥淚 appreciate this financial support afforded to me to further my education,鈥� Neal said. 鈥淭his generous financial assistance will assist me in reaching my ultimate career goals.鈥�
