Within this priority are three interrelated challenges for Academic Affairs. First, the pursuit of excellence in academic programs; second, the deliberate design of an academic environment addressing development of the whole person and incorporating cultural, intellectual, and technological enrichment; and third, the resolve to enhance research support, academic policies, master’s degree productivity, and a university culture that will enable Winston-Salem State University to become a master’s level institution. We pursue academic excellence… 8 Accreditation One of the first demands of academic excellence is accreditation of all academic programs, as well as of the university as a whole. As the university prepared to engage in the process of review from 2006 to 2010 for the purpose of reaffirmation (continued accreditation) from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), WSSU’s Academic Affairs Division began to address accreditation of individual colleges, departments, and programs. The School of Business and Economics began reaccreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The Department of Mass Communications in the College of Arts and Sciences received provisional accreditation from the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC) in May 2006, and will be visited during the 2006–2007 year to qualify for full accreditation. The Chemistry Department reorganized courses to meet accreditation requirements of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and engaged a consultant to assess its programs. The School of Education and Human Performance and the teacher education programs in the College of Arts and Sciences, jointly seeking accreditation, turned to the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for April 2007 anticipated accreditation. The Child Development Center and Lab School achieved a five-star rating from the State of North Carolina, the highest accrediting rating offered for licensed child care centers. The center serves as an accreditation training site for other North Carolina child care directors and teachers. Human Performance and Sport Science worked toward completing its rejoinder response to the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) and to the North American Society for Sport Management (NASSM). Therapeutic Recreation entered the pre-planning, selfstudy phase of the National Recreation and Park Association/American Association for Leisure and Recreation (NRPA/AALR) accreditation, with a visit scheduled for spring 2007. In the School of Health Sciences, preparations are underway for reaccreditation for the Clinical Laboratory Science Department. New Academic Programs In 2005–2006, WSSU continued to expand and refine its undergraduate programs to meet new needs and demands. The university began offering three new undergraduate degrees in Justice Studies, Social Work, and Biotechnology, and one new master’s degree in Occupational Therapy. Also added were a Certification in English as a Second Language and a new concentration in General Business under the Business Administration major, established to meet the needs of working adult students. The School of Health Sciences began planning several new clinical sites for its RN-to-BSN Option, and the School of Education and Human Performance continued planning its Special Education curriculum. The Triad Collaborative, involving WSSU, the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, and Forsyth Technical Community College, was established to provide a short-term solution to the shortage of licensed teachers in grades K-12 through a program designed for lateral-entry teachers. Five new courses in Portuguese and "Literature of Brazil and Portuguese-speaking Africa" established a minor in Portuguese. The Departments of Accounting and Management Information Systems offered their first course in Evening-Weekend College Business Administration, General Business Program. Opportunities for international study were enhanced as WSSU hired a director of International Programs and established exchange relations with universities in Brazil, South Africa, and China. 9 Students For the third consecutive year, WSSU was the fastest growing university of the 16 public, four-year institutions in North Carolina. Total enrollment in fall 2005 was 15.8 percent greater than in the previous year, an increase from 4,805 students to 5,566 students. At 1,083 people, representing a 20 percent increase, the fall 2005 freshman class was the largest ever to enroll at WSSU. Statistically, this freshman class also appeared to be among the best academically prepared; the average total SAT score was 900, a twelve point increase over fall 2004. Results An involved and active faculty encouraged student achievement in 2005–2006. Students attended, and in some cases presented at, six professional organization meetings. More than 200 undergraduate and graduate students participated in research projects during the academic year. Approximately fifty students won internships in 2005–2006 at prestigious companies and organizations, including Phillip Morris USA, CIBA Specialty Chemicals, Harvard University, U.S. Transportation Security Administration, and Department of Energy. Thirteen students studied in eight countries during summer 2005: Australia, Benin, Finland, Ghana, Kenya, Mexico, Spain, and Tanzania. A fourteenth student experienced Semester at Sea, visiting nine different countries in Eastern and Western Europe. In fall semester 2005, one student attended Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain. In spring 2006, Faculty As the WSSU student body grew, so did the university’s faculty in quantity and in academic quality. In 2005–2006, forty-four new faculty members were hired in key leadership positions in the Office of the Provost, International Programs, School of Graduate Studies and Research, School of Health Sciences, and in the School of Business and Economics. One measure of faculty strength is that 65 percent of the WSSU faculty now hold terminal degrees. four students studied abroad, and in the summer, eight students participated in study programs in other countries. In December 2005, 305 people received undergraduate degrees. In total, more than 750 students graduated during 2005–2006; nearly 80 percent of them earned degrees in math, science, or technology-related fields. The eight 2006 Honors Program graduates were all accepted into Faculty hiring was made more efficient by improved technological hiring and budget allocation procedures, a university commitment to shared governance, new policies to encourage greater faculty productivity, and removal of barriers to scholarly pursuits. Response has been enthusiastic. prestigious graduate programs. Sixty-two graduate students received master’s degrees during the 2005–2006 academic year. Central to creation of a cultured and intellectual atmosphere on the WSSU campus are the O’Kelly Library, the Diggs Gallery, which celebrated its fifteenth anniversary in 2005, the Winston-Salem State Faculty members published two books and more than thirty articles in 2005, held formal exhibitions and performances of their art, presented papers and spoke at national professional conferences, served on journal reviews and national grant boards, conducted research, continued their professional education, submitted seventythree grant proposals and received forty-eight grant awards. University Choir, the Leadership Institute, and the campus’ four continuing lecture series: James A. Gray Lectures in Religion and Ethics, Joseph N. Patterson Lectures in the Lyceum Series, School of Business and Economics’ Executive Leadership Lecture, and the recently restored J. Alston Atkins Memorial Lecture in Constitutional Law. 10 of scholarship and intellectual endeavor… We create an environment 11 We nurture our students’ success… 12 University College Winston-Salem State University initiated a conversation in 2005–2006 about how to more effectively engage our new students in ways that prepare them for success in their majors, in graduate school, and in their careers. We looked at retention and graduation rates because staying in college and timely graduation are important milestones in a student success model. WSSU compares favorably to peers: 1st Year Retention WSSU peers 77% 70.1% 4-Year Graduation WSSU peers 19.4% 19.2% 6-Year Graduation WSSU peers 44.1% 40.7% A Carolynn Berry, Interim Dean of the University College review of the literature associated with improving retention and graduation rates revealed that student engagement in the freshman year (academically and socially, with faculty and fellow students); quality of teaching and curriculum; quality of advisement; good data collection and analysis; and focus by academic and administrative leadership on issues of retention and graduation create a campus culture that supports student success. Because the first year of college is so critical in helping students engage in learning, align goals, aptitudes, paradigm selection, and build relationships, the university realigned responsibility for the general education curriculum and assessment, learning support centers, academic advising, and academic enhancement in a University College. The organizational structure includes a new dean and two new associate deans who will lead the University College with support from WSSU’s Division of Student Affairs and the faculty. Their charge is to coordinate readily accessible, intensive services, and intentional learning experiences for students while monitoring student assessment data (academic, personal, social, financial). These factors can help faculty and administrators recognize various learning styles and ensure that students fully engage the learning opportunities afforded to them. Because the goals of the University College support the goals of the other colleges and schools, the dean will work with the other academic deans to coordinate the integration of generalized learning outcomes throughout the curriculum; academic and career advising; assessment of teaching, learning, and programs; and the use of data to improve practice. University College served its first students in the fall of 2006. 13 We are determined to be a master’s level institution… Research Initiatives A Research Initiation Program was established as a seed grant initiative allowing tenured and tenure-track faculty to compete for mini-grants that will enable them to collect preliminary data leading to a larger proposal to be submitted to an external sponsor. This program stimulates and advances research opportunities for WSSU faculty and creates a supportive environment for scholarly endeavors across all academic disciplines. The Call for Proposals for the Research Initiation Program (RIP) resulted in the School of Graduate Studies and Research receiving thirty-six proposals totaling more than $325,000 in funding requests. Proposals were T 14 received from all academic schools and colleges. When the Research Initiation Program (RIP) Awards were announced in April 2006, a total of $69,861 was awarded to seven faculty members for diverse areas of research. he first Graduate Student of the Year Award was presented in 2006. Intended to recognize one outstanding graduate student annually, this prestigious award is given to a student in the final year of his or her program who exhibits extraordinary qualities in academics, research, clinical, or internship areas, and in community service. Dandan Wang, a graduate student in the Computer Science Department, was selected as the 2006 Outstanding Graduate Student of the Year because of her excellent academic achievements. Academic Excellence In transitioning to a master’s level institution, and with the proliferation and development of new graduate programs, the School of Graduate Studies and Research continued to champion excellence in academic programming and research initiatives. If these programs are approved, WSSU will have in its inventory eleven degree programs, two add-on licensure programs and two certificate programs for a total of fifteen graduate programs. Other programs considered for future development include the Master of Health Care Administration and the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT). Four graduate programs were approved to begin in fall of 2006: • MSRC in Rehabilitation Counseling (Distance Learning) • MSN - Advanced Nurse Educator option • Post-Master’s Certification in Advanced Nurse Educator work in consultation with faculty members and university administrators. • Post-Master’s Certification in Family Nurse Practitioner In 2005–2006, WSSU became an Educational Testing Service (ETS) InternetSix other offerings are under review: • MAT in Teaching ESL and Applied Linguistics • Add-on Licensure for Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) • MSA - Master of School Administration • M.Ed. in Elementary Education (Distance Learning) • M.S. in Integrative Biosciences • Master of Arts in Teaching Based Testing Center. ETS provides the necessary training for staff. This on-site testing center offers a much-needed service to our students and to Winston-Salem Forsyth County citizens. It also gives the Graduate School direct contact with individuals considering graduate studies. The Testing Center officially opened in fall 2006 with Internet-based testing for the TOEFL exam (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and will expand to offer the Graduate Record Exam by next fall. We provided funding to forty graduate teaching, research, and administrative assistants during the academic year. Funds distributed totaled $212,500. These competitive assistantships offered opportunities for students to conduct research and “The School of Graduate Studies and Research embraces Winston-Salem State University’s commitment to fostering diversity of thought, experience, and cultures.” African American 51 Caucasian Asian Hispanic International 39 4 3 3 Female Male 76 24 15 Professional Development The Director of Graduate Enrollment Management, the Interim Dean, and the Chief Research Officer (CRO) presented at the 2006 National Conference of the National Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals (NAGAP) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The presentation titled "On A Roll: Strategies for Increasing Enrollment Yield and Successful Enrollment Management," provided strategies and policies that would assist smaller graduate schools in increasing enrollment yield. The session was well attended and was ranked one of ten "must see" presentations. Graduate Services Graduate students were engaged in campus life through Winston-Salem State’s reconstituted Graduate Student Association (GSA). A voice for all graduate students, the GSA provides student representation on essential university committees. One of its first activities was to join the School of Graduate Studies and Research in co-sponsoring a town hall meeting with the Chancellor. The School of Graduate Studies and Research presented successful workshops in 2005–2006, including "Thesis & Project Preparation Workshop: Developing the Essentials for a Scholarly Master’s Thesis/Project," "How to Prepare Yourself for Graduate Enrollment Management The Graduate School, in collaboration with the deans, faculty, and graduate program coordinators of the academic Colleges and Schools, admitted 148 new students in 2005, the largest entering class to date. Total enrollment for fall 2005 was 302 students, a 21 percent increase over fall 2004 enrollment. Graduate School," and "How to Finance Your Graduate Education." Graduate services to students were enhanced through a Graduate Services Advisory Committee with representation from Winston-Salem State University, private foundations, local government, and other civic and public sector organizations. The committee was charged to assist the promotion of educational, personal, and professional development of graduate students. Master’s degree productivity was sustained through a focused retention effort that resulted in a 90 percent retention rate for fall 2005 enrollment for continuing students. In addition, a Plan of Study was developed for each student, and a program coordinator was assigned to monitor academic progression in a time-appropriate manner. 16 2006 Research Initiation Program Awards Dr. Kenneth Brown, Assistant Professor of Chemistry (Award: $10,000) Department of Chemistry--College of Arts and Sciences Proposal Title: Utilization of a novel ferrocene-based bis (pyrazolyl) methane ligand and its derivatives for development of coordination network solids with potential for gaseous fuel storage Dr. Monica Cain, Assistant Professor of Economics (Award: $10,000) Department of Business Administration and Economics--School of Business and Economics Proposal Title: Assessing the Vulnerability of Counties to the Threat of Methamphetamine Manufacture Dr. Morris Clarke, Associate Professor of Life Sciences (Award: $9,860.98) Department of Life Sciences--College of Arts and Sciences Proposal Title: Squalene: A biodegradable lubricant from Botyrococcus Braunii Judy Foxworth, Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy (Award: $10,000) Department of Physical Therapy--School of Health Sciences Proposal Title: Immediate Effects of Shock Absorbing Insoles on Knee Pain, Functional Mobility and Lower Extremity Biomechanical Characteristics in Persons with Knee Osteoarthritis Dr. Aysel Kavas, Assistant Professor of Health Education and Nutrition (Award: $10,000) Department of Human Performance and Sport Sciences--School of Education and Human Performance Proposal Title: Development of a Culturally-Based Healthy Lifestyle Program for African American College Students: An Integrated Research Approach Dr. Teresa Singleton, Associate Professor of Life Sciences (Award: $10,000) Department of Life Sciences--College of Arts and Sciences Proposal Title: Analysis of Target Sites for the LTR-Retrotransposon, Tf1, in Fission Yeast Dr. Daniel Williams, Assistant Professor of Life Sciences (Award: $10,000) Department of Life Sciences--College of Arts and Sciences Proposal Title: Potential Action of Insulin on GABA-A receptors 17 We support 18 our faculty… increased emphasis on scholarly research and funded programs resulted in a 12.3 percent rise in the number of proposals submitted as compared to the previous fiscal year. The fifty-three faculty/staff members who participated in a grant-writing workshop presented by Stephen W. Russell of the nationally-recognized Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, LLC, reported that the workshop content was helpful, and that an unexpected benefit was the opportunity to communicate and collaborate with other faculty and staff. S The Office of Sponsored Programs provides faculty and staff with both pre- and post-award ponsored Programs began to play a much more active services. During 2005–2006, the office completed a policy and procedures manual now under review and expected to be available to faculty in 2006–2007. role as deans expressed increased expectations for scholarly productivity, communication, and collaboration among faculty members and one another, faculty at other universities, professional organizations, foundations, and among companies. Perhaps the most important job of the Office of Sponsored Programs at this point in WSSU’s development is the assistance it provides in identifying faculty capabilities and matching them with funding opportunities, and in helping faculty find partners for collaboration in research, In 2005–2006, the Office of Sponsored Programs reported receipt of forty-eight awards for a total of $5,789,820.65, on submission of seventy-three proposals for a total of $14,454,357.87. Although the number of awards received was somewhat less than the previous year (6 percent), the amount of money these awards produced was significantly lower than 40 percent in 2004–2005. We believe that these results may be attributed to an overall reduction in available funds and increased competition for those dollars. However, public service projects, and community outreach. We facilitate the development of creative, interdisciplinary ideas that lead to innovation. 19 I n addition to creating an atmosphere that encourages no less than The Solutions Center launched Banner identification dissemination, and became the leader in customer service on campus. It provided service to administrative offices by facilitating initiatives and programming relative to new student enrollment. Undergraduate Admissions was the first unit within WSSU to implement the Banner integrated database. It admitted the largest freshman class in WSSU’s history and experienced an 18 percent increase over last year in the total number of applications received. Career Services secured a $23,000 grant from Philip Morris USA. All on- academic excellence, WSSU is determined to create a responsive, studentcentered, customer-oriented campus. Academic enterprise must be supported by efficient, accessible administrative functions that clearly exist to serve not themselves, but their clients — students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends. The single campus-wide accomplishment of 2005–2006 most often cited by administrative units is the implementation of the “Banner” integrated software system to allow sharing of data and communication among all constituents of WSSU. Winston-Salem State University’s Division of Student Affairs works collaboratively with academic units and is committed to educating and challenging students to reach their full potential. Through programs and services, we expect our students to become effective communicators and outstanding leaders. Community involvement, leadership skill building, and strong academic support systems are keys to student success. We take deliberate action to aid in the moral, physical, social, and psychological growth of all students. Student Affairs divides its responsibilities into three main components: Enrollment Management, the Office of Student Life, and Campus Life. For the previous six years, the area of Enrollment Management has included the Registrar’s Office, Financial Aid, Undergraduate Admissions, Career Services, Integrated Student Services, and First Year College and Academic Support Services. In April of 2006, a number of strategic organizational changes were put in place to increase effectiveness in student services. The Office of the Registrar began reporting to the Provost. Financial Aid, Integrated Student Services, Undergraduate Admissions, and Career Services continued reporting to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. campus work-study positions were listed in the RAMTRAK system, so that students interested in positions were responsible for applying online. A training manual for work-study supervisors was published, and training sessions were held for supervisors and students. An information DVD regarding Cooperative Education Experiences was created for student use. The Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs is responsible for Housing and Residence Life, Student Health Services, the Counseling Center and Judicial Affairs. In August of 2005, Gleason-Hairston Terrace was dedicated and opened to students. An online application process enrolled 1,818 students in campus housing in February 2006. A head resident assistant program was developed to enhance the leadership qualities in the Housing and Residence Life assistant staff. A new Assistant Director for Housekeeping and Maintenance was hired. A new Student Health Center was completed in the 2005–2006 academic year and is open for business. A health educator position was filled part-time, and a coordinator of clinical services position was temporarily filled. The Counseling Center was very successful in helping a significant number of The First Year College will be replaced by the newly formed University College in fall 2006. Student Support Services began reporting to the Assistant Provost for Pre-College and Undergraduate Services, who also has administrative responsibility for the Upward Bound Program. The Financial Aid office embraced technology in 2005–2006 for better communication. It completed Banner implementation in February 2006, and also began a new computer system for notifying students of awards and missing information. The office extended its hours for peak enrollment periods (May through October) to provide more accessible service to students. students maintain their academic status throughout the year. The center’s Peer Education Training and Leadership Program received awards from the North Carolina Governor’s Office as it was recognized as a model for prevention programs in North Carolina at the National HBCU Substance Abuse Conference. The center received grant money for its “Commit to Prevent HIV/AIDS Project.” 20 In Campus Life, major student activities in 2005–2006 included extensive Women’s History Month programming in March, and a first-year “Civility Conference” during university day. Also this year, the Office of Student Affairs initiated a campaign to encourage students to be more proactive in providing student programs themselves. Thompson Center created a monthly “Artsposure” Calendar to provide information to students about arts offerings in the city of Winston-Salem. The center also created a ROC Constitution to set the tone for registered student organizations and serve as a tool to make student organizations accountable for actions. Finally, the center enhanced its emergency action plan, which included components for certification training in first aid and CPR. Intramural Sports and Recreation added a second component (a ski trip to Boone, NC) to its Adventure Recreation Program; it previously included a white water rafting trip only. Student officials are being developed for all team sports, and more trips were provided for students to play and officiate in extramural tournaments. student-centered campus… 21 We are a On August 15, 2005, Gleason-Hairston Terrace, a new residence hall, was named in recognition of service to the community and the university by Eliza Atkins Gleason, the daughter of WSSU founder Simon Green Atkins, and the late Rufus and Mary Hairston, WSSU alumni and major supporters of the university. On September 16, 2005, the $13 million Computer Science Center was dedicated in honor of Dr. Elva Jones, long-time chair of the Department of Computer Science. On November 9, 2005, the $12.1 million science building was dedicated in honor of Dr. Wilveria Bass Atkinson, long-time WSSU faculty member, science education advocate, multi-million-dollar grant recipient and namesake of an endowed chair. In August 2005, WSSU’s new Child Development Center and Lab School opened. By March 2006, the center had achieved a 5-star rating from the state. Also in 2005, it received the highest score in NC for its programming component, specifically its preschool program, as rated by the North Carolina Rated License Assessment Project. A new Student Health Center was under construction in July 2006 on WSSU’s campus. 22 F or the seventh year in a row, the Division of Finance and Administration received a clean audit from the state Controller’s Office. Implementation of the Banner integrated software in 2005–2006 benefited Finance and Administration to support the academic units of WSSU. Banner will significantly improve campus-wide communication by consolidating all collected data used in the common, everyday tasks of running the university. For the first time, units in the Department of Finance and Administration will be able to “talk,” and everyone on campus will be able to communicate their data. Banner Finance was implemented with the following modules: General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Purchasing, Research Accounting, Fixed Assets, and Human Resources. As major construction supported by the state bond referendum funds wound down, a draft of strategic plans for all units and facilities was completed. A modern heating and cooling infrastructure is being put into place, and older buildings continue to be brought up to ADA code. The procurement of a boom truck allows in-house maintenance of street lighting. In Human Resources and Safety, as in other areas, technology Efforts to streamline operations resulted in a direct deposit process for certain vendors and added credit card machines in the Faculty/Staff Dining Hall and in the Anderson Center Catering office. An enhancement of the budget process was designed to keep budget managers informed via monthly meetings. Web site sales increased for the Campus Bookstore by 102.4 percent. A “P-Card” system for purchasing and a “Positive Pay” software system for check-writing were also part of the Division and Finance Administration’s efforts to tap cutting-edge technology to reduce human intervention and error in more efficient and effective business systems. As campus safety continued to be a priority, two security guard Construction funded by major university bond programs was completed. Collaboration with the WSSU Foundation led to the completion of Gleason-Hairston Terrace. The trades maintenance area was reorganized into the more effective business model of zone maintenance. A petroleum products reduction plan (including electric vehicles) was also implemented. In cooperation with the WinstonSalem Transit Authority, the university began providing Ram Express Shuttle Service, a new hybrid trolley that transports students, faculty, and staff from remote parking areas to and from campus, as well as transport them to various places on campus. positions dedicated to residence halls were filled, and an Operations Captain was hired to provide consistent supervision for the police patrol division. Health and safety, crime prevention, and police telecommunicator positions were created. Four new positions for patrol were filled and four officers were certified in the use of radar equipment for motor vehicle enforcement. implementation is continuing, and procedures were developed to speed completion of routine tasks; career banding; PeopleAdmin, an online system for applicant tracking and maintenance position descriptions; Banner; and T-2 software for parking registration, citation tracking and collection, and enforcement in the field. providing customer service to all campus constituents… We are committed to 23 We are devoted to the greater community… 24 T here is no doubt that as Winston-Salem State University grows, it initiatives, including a small business loan program and a small business feasibility study in addition to continuing its ongoing affordable housing plans to complete twelve homes in 2006. has an increasing impact on the economy of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. In 2005–2006, Dr. Indranil Ghosh of the School of Business and Economics endeavored to quantify the economic impact of expenditures by the university, its faculty and staff, its students, its visitors, and its alumni in the fiscal year 2004, the latest year for which data was available. He concluded that the presence of WSSU produced a total of $157,369,760 in goods and services, $34,330,521 in extra earnings and 1,539 jobs in Forsyth County in 2004. The WSSU Center for Community Safety (CCS) received $500,000 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for a community support project to build the capacity of small faith and community-based organizations to work with at-risk youth. The CCS also received one of six national MetLife Foundation awards for a community partnership with the Winston-Salem Police Department that was instrumental in reversing Although WSSU is a major employer in Forsyth County and its many constituents create a demand for goods and services that in turn creates more jobs, the university believes it can have an increasing influence not only on economic prosperity but also on the social fabric and the cultural life of the community. decline in the city’s Southside community. The university also continued to provide educational and cultural events and education for the community. Diggs Gallery, a nationally recognized showcase of African and African-American art, celebrated its fifteenth anniversary on October 15 with the exhibits James Thackeray Diggs: A Our students learn early the value of service. Notable in 2005–2006 among the many student-directed community service projects was the Student Government Association’s ongoing venture to collect cash, clothing, non-perishable food items, toys, and toiletries for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

In November, WSSU celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the “Friends of the Library,” an organization which supports the O’Kelly Library, with a benefit gala to raise funds toward a $500,000 library endowment goal. In April 2006, the revival of the J. Alston Atkins Memorial Lectures in Constitutional Law featured Charles Ogletree, Jesse Climenko professor of law and executive director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice, as the keynote speaker. The lecture series, which honors the youngest son of Simon Green and Oleana Pegram Atkins, a civil rights activist, joins the James Two of WSSU’s centers for service and research received major federal grants in 2005 that will have a lasting impact on the social development of W inston-Salem and Forsyth County. The Simon Green Atkins Community Development Corporation (CDC), a community outreach arm of the university established in 1998 to spur revitalization efforts in the city, received a $600,000 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant. The funds allowed the CDC to implement new A. Gray Lectures, the Joseph N. Patterson Lecture, and the Executive Leadership Lecture in the university’s efforts to create public dialogue on important social and political issues. Winston-Salem State University’s increasing emphasis on bringing scholarly activities to bear on everyday situations is of benefit not only to the immediate community, but to people across the nation and the world. 25 We have confidence in athletic competition… I ndividual student-athletes and coaches continued to be honored, WSSU golfers closed out their first-ever appearance in the 20th PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship with a sixth-place finish. Approximately 125 and the university made excellent progress toward qualification for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I. contestants from twenty-eight colleges and universities, representing fourteen countries, comprised the field. The Lady Rams earned seven spots on the AllWSSU’s Shannon Davis, Andrew Jones, and Chad Oakley are among twenty athletes from the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association named to the ninth annual CIAA Commissioner’s All-Academic Team. CIAA Softball Teams, two first-team, one second-team, and four all-rookie team selections. Finally, WSSU Volleyball’s freshman newcomer Valentina Pushkina was named to the CIAA All-Rookie Team. The 2006 CIAA Commissioner’s All-Academic Team recognizes twenty student-athletes, ten on the first team and ten on the second team. Grade point averages of the first team are 3.850, and the average for the second team is a 3.814 (on a 4.0 scale). Davis, a senior bowler and softball player who was recognized for the third consecutive year, made the first team. Oakley, a senior punter for WSSU football, also earned the honor for a third time, qualifying for the second team. Jones made the second team for the first time. On July 7, 2004, Winston-Salem State University embarked on an exciting, Football player Martin Hicks was named the CIAA Offensive Player of the Year. Defensive lineman Jason Holman and offensive lineman Jerome Dunbar were All-CIAA first team selections. The All-CIAA second team included five Rams: tight end Stan Wright, offensive lineman Michael Champaign, running back Jed Bines, linebacker Lavern Bynum, and defensive back Nate Biggs. The selection of these student-athletes marks the third time in five seasons WSSU football players have placed at least eight members on the All-Conference teams. WSSU finished the 2005 season with a 6-4 record overall en route to a 6-1 CIAA record as the Rams conclude the CIAA chapter of their history. five-year journey to elevate its athletic programs to the NCAA Division I level — the pinnacle of competition in intercollegiate sports. This change reflects our rising stature as a growing regional institution with a reputation for excellence in all aspects of the educational experience. Three primary benefits will be achieved from reclassifying these athletic programs to Division I: Increased awareness of, and respect for, the university on a wider regional and national scale; incremental revenues associated with participating in a higher level of competition with greater public interest; and even more challenging competitive and academic opportunities for our student-athletes. One of the most storied athletic programs in WSSU history was revived as the Rams and Lady Rams resumed intercollegiate athletic competition in outdoor track and field in the spring 2006. The Rams returned to Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) conference track and field competition after a fiveyear layoff, qualifying six athletes for NCAA championships, and narrowly missing finals cuts. Track and Field returned to the Ram roster of competitive sports as part of the qualifying process for NCAA Division I. 26 WSSU entered an "exploratory period" that spanned the 2005–06 academic calendar and athletic seasons. In this phase, progress was evaluated toward compliance with Division I requirements, while continuing to participate in Division II as a member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. WSSU met NCAA Division I guidelines for academic admissions standards, number of sports programs, gender equity, and financial aid. An annual report and a one-year strategic plan to the NCAA and an application to join the MidEastern Athletic Conference were submitted. All are critical to meet the 2005–2006 deadline steps in moving forward to 2009–2010, the fifth and final year of the process. At that time WSSU will host a certification visit by NCAA officials and begin full participation in all Division I championship sports with the exception of men’s and women’s basketball. Beyond compliance with NCAA bylaws for Division I, WSSU began to make investments to improve athletic facilities so that the university can recruit and train the talented student-athletes. This is critical to success in Division I, and to serve the higher interest levels of students, alumni, and the general public. Construction of a new field house at Bowman Gray Stadium is scheduled to begin in fall 2006. In September 2006, WSSU will begin NCAA Division I competition with MEAC member schools. However, we remain committed to maintaining close ties with CIAA members. The decision to reclassify our athletic program reflects WSSU’s dramatic growth and changing mission, not a change in our esteem for CIAA member institutions or in our perception of the value of these relationships. 27 W inston-Salem State University Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator Tonia Walker was one of only seven senior-level athletic administrators nationally to graduate from the 2006 NCAA Fellows Leadership Development Program as she completed the eighteen-month professional development program in June 2006 at the NCAA National Offices in Indianapolis, IN. In April 2006, Dee Stokes, a former Wake Forest University basketball player who has twelve years of coaching experience, was named new head Lady Rams basketball coach for the 2006–2007 season. In January 2006, Halcyon M. Blake became head track and field/cross country coach, leading the Rams and Lady Rams in the revival of track and field competition. Shannon Davis (Detroit, MI) was named the 2005 NCAA Woman of the Year for the State of North Carolina. The NCAA Woman of the Year recognizes outstanding female student-athletes who have excelled in academics, athletics, and community leadership. Davis, an inspiring story of academic and athletic success, is the second WSSU female student athlete to garner NCAA Woman of the Year State Finalist honors. Shannon’s sister Heather was selected as the NCAA Woman of the Year State Finalist for the State of North Carolina last season, making 2005 the second consecutive year that Winston-Salem State University has earned finalist honors. 28 29 We actively 30 support WSSU… T he Division of University Advancement includes four major programs: the Annual Alumni participated in the kickoff of the national Campaign for Winston-Salem State University from four telecast sites, and are actively involved in campaigning. Alumni Affairs, with the support of alumni, hosted ten regional alumni gatherings. As of April 30, 2006, alumni giving was $231,034, a 4.89 percent increase over giving in the previous year. A call station operation was completed for the university’s Fall Phonathon, and 2,040 specified gifts to the Annual Fund were received. Four new Heritage Society members were inducted and $151,000 in planned gifts were solicited. Twenty-five corporate sponsors were secured for the annual WSSU Golf Classic. A new Director of Development, hired in March 2006, began leading Fund, Alumni Relations, Donor Relations, and Marketing and Communications. In a year of successful advancement of Winston-Salem State University, the major event was the public announcement of The Campaign for WinstonSalem State University. The university had raised half of its $35 million goal in the quiet phase of the Campaign through the efforts of the Leadership Gifts Committee and Campaign Cabinet comprised of a small number of local business people, philanthropists, alumni, and WSSU senior administrators. The campaign provided power for the continuing transformation of WSSU. As a direct result of the campaign, the university can now boast eight new endowed professorships crucial to intellectual and research capacity. These professorships make WSSU eligible for $2.25 million in dollar-for-dollar matching funds from the UNC Board of Governors Distinguished Professors Endowment Trust Fund. The foundation’s efforts also expanded WSSU’s historic invitation "Enter to Learn," by securing funding for new scholarships to attract bright, motivated students in education, business and economics, mass communications, graphic design, and justice studies, among others. A $100,000 gift funded an endowment in International Programs. A $50,000 gift outfitted and will maintain a conference room and resource library in the new Early Childhood Center and Laboratory School. identification and stewardship of major donors, including individuals, corporations, and foundations. The Development Department focused specifically on fundraising for WSSU’s School of Business and Computer Science Endowment Fund, and developed strategies to garner support from Fortune 500 companies. WSSU’s Office of Marketing and Communications contributed to making 2005–2006 a successful year. The office produced and aired twenty segments of the RAM Minute, a one-minute TV promotional commercial highlighting the university’s diversity, international scholars, and student academic and athletic achievements. The commercials aired on the local NBC affiliate station. The office also developed seasonal signage to complement a new university Also in 2006, following the success of the Rams Commons privatized housing unit opened in 2004, the Winston-Salem State University Foundation built the 404-bed Gleason-Hairston Terrace, and began planning a third housing construction project. Recognizing the importance of preserving the university’s history even as WSSU grows to meet the challenges of a new century, the foundation planned and funded a bronze statue of founder Simon Green Atkins sculpted by local artist Earline Heath King for the university’s pedestrian mall. wayfinding and signage initiative, completed twenty-one new academic brochures targeted to build awareness for the various degree programs, and launched Ram Mail...E-mail for Life, a strategic partnership with Microsoft Corp. to provide all current and future alumni with e-mail for life. The E-mail for Life enrollment marketing campaign contributed to generating a 20 percent increase in freshman applications and a 40 percent increase in transfer applications. WSSU’s Office of Marketing and Communications, in partnership with the business The Foundation took steps to ensure that it fully complied with new University of North Carolina guidelines governing the relationship between UNC constituent universities and the affiliated entities (such as the Winston-Salem State University Foundation) across the 16-campus system. Alumni Affairs and the Annual Fund experienced both greater involvement with the university and increased giving. Homecoming 2005 was the largest homecoming event in living memory. development office, launched WSSU’s product line in local Wal-Mart stores. WSSU received 232 positive news placements in local, regional, and national print and broadcast news stories. The office won a CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) District III excellence award for its institutional relations projects. This makes the fifth time in seven years the office has won a CASE award. 31 To Winston-Salem State University constituents, It was February 2006 when I became Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs at Winston-Salem State University. Of course, I had researched and studied the university, and, as I said at the time, I was confident in the organization’s ability to “…become a nationally recognized center of excellence in health services, teacher education, science and technology, and financial services.” I felt I could promise that “Our faculty and staff will inspire academic innovation and attain leadership by listening to all voices, considering all ideas and working together with the common goal of creating the highest quality learning experience.” Admissions standards will increase in fall 2006 because of the impact of the new mathematics minimum admission requirements of the UNC Board of Governors, the NCAA Division I Athletics admission requirements, WSSU’s need to decelerate its baccalaureate growth, and the university’s commitment to increased academic quality of undergraduates. The However, there are aspects about my new position I did not, indeed, could not, have anticipated. First is the power of Winston-Salem State University’s legacy, passed from a truly visionary educator, Simon Green Atkins, on through the years and generations, to so many people — his sons Francis and J. Alston Atkins; to succeeding Chancellors such as Cleon F. Thompson and Harold Martin; to faculty such as Wilveria Bass Atkinson and Elva J. Jones; to countless alumni, and to members of the greater community. I believe that when Dr. Atkins issued his famous invitation “Enter to Learn,” he spoke not only to students, but to all faculty, staff, and even visitors. When he said “Depart to Serve,” certainly he spoke to graduates, but perhaps he also spoke to all of us who depart campus at the end of a day not to go home, but to attend a civic responsibility, or go to a conference or athletic event, or to continue a research project, or participate in a fraternal organization’s fund drive. Pedro L. Martinez, Provost This is my commitment as I look forward with confidence to the future of Winston-Salem State University. In the next academic year, WSSU will aim higher as it hires more than fifty new faculty members. Proven performers will be sought, and more faculty will be hired at the associate/vice assistant professor level. Candidate visits will be carefully coordinated, and as the Provost, I will interview all faculty candidates. standard for fall 2006 will be a modification of the NCAA Division I index, using a 2.5 GPA and a 780 SAT as a pivot point, with a higher GPA allowing for a lower SAT score and vice versa. The minimum standard will be an SAT of 750 and a GPA of 2.58. It is my intention that in 2006–2007, across this campus, we will continue to hear those powerful calls to learn and to serve, and that as a body, this university will do all in its power to support scholarly endeavor, research, learning, teaching, and service to others. 32 “Our faculty and staff will inspire academic innovation and attain leadership by listening to all voices, considering all ideas, and working together with the common goal of creating the highest quality learning experience.” 33 34 Dear Colleagues and Friends of the University, Perhaps in some ways, I wish I could claim the credit, but I am just one crew member among many who have driven the transformation of this organization in six short years. If it is to be a force for the economic and social prosperity of the Piedmont Region, and if it is to live up to its legacy, the university must meet high academic demands quickly. Winston-Salem State University must undertake a deliberate, thoughtful, Winston-Salem State University’s enrollment increased by an amazing 95 percent during my term as chancellor. Teaching at WSSU, planning events, attending meetings, or simply walking across the campus, one experiences a university renewed in form and contemporary in function. The faculty has grown in numbers and in academic credentials; more than two-thirds of the faculty have terminal degrees. In addition to teaching and personal scholarly investigation and publication, faculty members are engaged in recognized ongoing research projects and are crucially involved in the outside community. Faculty, continue to show excellence in teaching, research, scholarly publication, and outreach. Be models of the continuing lifelong learning a burgeoning economy requires. Students, meet the challenge of higher academic expectations. WSSU has added to its more traditional degree programs an array of modern and ultra-modern fields of study and innovative routes to degrees, many in cooperation with other colleges and universities. It has strengthened ties to organizations in other countries, and initiated a good program of international study. The scholars at WSSU are demanding a more aggressive, inclusive, and challenging academic experience. Finally, to all of you, I say, share WSSU’s success with the immediate community of On the strength of growing enrollment and a rapidly improving athletic program, WSSU is moving to competition in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletics Association. Now WSSU is focused on earning another reclassification, to Carnegie Master’s Level as an institution providing graduate degrees. Winston-Salem and Forsyth County; share that success wherever it can be useful in the nation and the world. Carry on! Administrators and staff, be considerate and efficient in supporting faculty and students as they strive for academic excellence. Alumni and friends, give to WinstonSalem State University; give of your interest, your time, and yes, your money. This university not only needs your support, it deserves it. Invest in a bright future. Deans, you must connect to other universities and other deans, and to business and industry leaders. Develop networks through which you can gather the information to predict needs for new expertise. intentional development of its academic enterprise immediately. The changes over the last five years, accomplished with almost breathtaking speed by a dedicated administration, experienced faculty, eager students, and staunch friends, are measures of WSSU’s success. These changes are also threats to that success, for it is not enough to merely add buildings, faculty, and programs to accommodate greater and greater numbers of students. As I leave Winston-Salem State University, I offer reminders and challenges to the body of people who are “the university:” Sincerely, Harold L. Martin, Sr., Chancellor 35 36 Best practices a foundation for success...

The Division of W inston-Salem University Advancement is charged with the primary mission of obtaining needed philanthropic gifts from WSSU alumni, friends and supporters, as well as from corporations and foundations at the local, regional, and national level. As WSSU continues to grow, the investments of our friends and supporters in the university become even more important to our mission: producing outstanding graduates able to compete in the high tech, information transfer and global market economy. This will take strong support from you and others who understand that WSSU, although a North Carolina public institution of higher education, is not totally funded by the state.
