Service to the University

1. Assisting with recruitment and retention. I am proud to say, that I have tried to do my part. I can honestly say that I have recruited the following students: Andrionna Fountain (Fall 2023); Dawshaia Herndon (Fall 2023), Ericson Kagame (Spring 2024) DeVonte Shivers (Spring 2022); WrayVauze Givens, Sarah Lesoragol -Shivers (currently enrolled), Keyon Mahaney, JeVon Mahaney (currently enrolled); Jasmine Smith (currently enrolled). This letter is from Dawshaia Herndon talking about the role I played in recruitment.

2. Created the Para to Pro Program. The first cohort started in the summer of 2020 with three students (all three completed). During the 2023-24 SY 12 students graduated! This program is now one of the fastest growing programs on campus. I also serve as the advisor for the program. Here is a presentation that gives overview of the program. The Para to Pro Program has led to a partnership with St. Louis Public Schools. Each year SLPS pays for up to 15 of their employees to join the Para to Pro Cohort.

3. Appointed to serve as the Director of the Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) program. The 2019-20 AY was the last year the position was funded, due to the pandemic. However, I continued to advise the BLS students until the program was included as part of the new Title III positions created for the 2022-23 AY. When asked, I also teach LBS 400: Liberal Studies Capstone.

4. Initiated the LUMACC Agreement In 2019, when I was submitting the NOYCE grant. This MOU created a collaboration between Lincoln University and Moberly Area Community College (MACC) that would enable be dually enrolled at the institutions. The majority of courses would be through MACC, however, the students would have some of the same privileges as full-time LU students.

5. Guest Speaker for the 2023 Adult Education & Literacy (AEL) Graduation. I was asked to be the speaker during the time AEL offices were being moved on campus. During the time, I was assisting with the transition.
