Alumni Donations Make More Scholarships Available |
|
More scholarship opportunities exist for students at Johnson C. Smith University thanks to the generosity of alumni donors. • Dr. Mary Wallace Reid of Pennsylvania, a 1945 graduate of JCSU, established an endowed scholarship in honor of her parents, Isaac and Mamie Wallace. Female graduates of Charlotte-Mecklenburg or Charlotte area high schools with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 are eligible for the Isaac & Mamie Wallace Endowed Scholarship. • The Dr. Thomas Wright Jr. Endowed Scholarship Fund is designed for a JCSU student with a 3.0 GPA who is majoring in one of the sciences, with preference given to a student athlete. A dentist in Richmond, Va., Wright graduated from JCSU in 1962. • Former NFL player Pettis Norman honored one of the most influential people in his life, JCSU football coach Eddie C. McGirt, by contributing $50,000 to a previously established endowed scholarship. The Eddie C. McGirt Endowed Scholarship is awarded to a sophomore, junior, or student athlete with at least a 3.0 GPA. McGirt graduated from JCSU in 1947, returning in 1958 where he eventually became the head football coach at JCSU. For 20 years, his teams ranked at the top of the CIAA standings, winning 118 of 191 games. Norman, who played for the Dallas Cowboys and then for the San Diego Chargers, was the second of McGirt’s JCSU players to play professionally. Endowed scholarships provide a permanent source of financial aid. You, too, can make a difference in the life of a JCSU student. A minimum contribution of $25,000, payable within a five-year period, will create an endowed scholarship. |

New JCSU President Reorganizes Academic Division |
|
Johnson C. Smith University President Ronald Carter, Ph.D., announced today a major reorganization of the university’s academic division, decentralizing its structure with a Council of Deans. Formerly the Office for Academic Affairs, the unit was headed by a vice president and associate vice president, to whom deans and faculty department chairs reported. The new decentralized organizational structure eliminates those two positions and replaces them with a six-member Council of Deans. The new administrative unit will govern through consensus and be an advisory committee to the president. “The reorganization will greatly benefit the university by encouraging collaboration and providing improved transparency, increased autonomy and responsibility,” Dr. Carter said. “It will allow faculty to have better participation and make for a more vibrant faculty senate, of which I am a strong proponent.” |

Woods, who was the leading US scorer in their 2006 defeat, will not play again this season because of a knee injury.
"On the one side it could be a loss, but on the other they know they don't have the option to bank on Tiger this year," said Faldo...
