• The Leadership Imperative: Holistic Health for College Leaders

This session addresses the attributes of good leaders. The health of Afrikan Americans has gained the increased attention of many health specialists throughout the world. This session also addresses some of the mental, physical and spiritual health attributes of being a leader.

• Enhancing Academic Performance of Ethnically and Culturally Diverse Students

There is increased concern about the academic “lag” that appears between ethnically and culturally diverse students (i.e. Afrikan American and Latino/Hispanic) and European Americans and Asian Americans. These populations can be empowered to fill the gap with strategic planning that takes into account their unique cultural strengths and identity. This presentation is designed to assist educators with stemming the tide of poor academic performance of ethnically and culturally diverse students.

• Black Greek-Lettered Organizations: Being Pledged or Being Transformed

When one examines the current state of affairs for Greek-letter organizations within the Afrikan American community one receives a very alarming report with regards to initiation. All over the U.S., various college organizations are bringing the national headquarters of these Panhellenic Council Organizations (i.e. Alpha Phi Alpha, Omega Psi, Phi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Beta Sigma, Alpha Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Beta Sigma, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho) into the courtroom to address lawsuits surrounding hazing issues. A major part of the lawsuits include physical injuries that were sustained while a pledgee or initiate was seeking admission into the "Sacred Realms" of their desired organization. The problems are that many individuals find themselves in the realms of hospitals, rehabilitation centers or worse morgues. This presentation looks at the origins of Greek-letter organizations and at ways to reclaim the essence of what it meant to be an initiate of the ancient schools of Kemet (Egypt) as well as how some of the meanings can be applied to the contemporary pledging process.
