PSC LAUNCHES
"DELTA INITIATIVE'
Philander Smith College has received $ 150,000 to improve opportunities for higher education among
residents in the Delta region. "The
best of the Delta for the rest of the
Delta" is the College's mission statement for this program.
The College will prepare southeast
Arkansas high school students for
college by fulfilling some of their
educational needs, Dr. Trudie Kibbe
Reed said.
"We will examine the needs, and
make contact with constituents in the
Delta region. We share the federal
government's sense of urgency of the
need to transform economic and educational possibilities in the Delta."
Dr. Reed re-assigned two administrators to spearhead the Delta Initiative. Naomi Cottoms, former Dean of
Student Affairs, and Dr. Mary Olson,
formerly Dr. Reed's executive assistant, are designing a network to match
resources and needs in the Delta.
This year, 63 of the College's 918
full-time students are from southeast
Arkansas, the state's poorest region.
Dr. Reed said the grant is the first
gift spent on targeting educational
needs in one area of the state.
"We'll look at offering computer
training, and collaborating with other
community organizations and
churches in the Delta to eventually
open a satellite center there," Dr. Reed
said. •

DONATE
$50,000 FOR
BLACK
FAMILY
STUDIES
Dr. Clifford Minton and
Mrs. Alma Minton, through
their Minton Foundation,
recently donated $50,000
for the emerging Black
Family Studies Program at
Philander Smith College.
Dr. and Mrs. Minton are Alma '35 and Clifford Minton '36, in a recent photo
PSC alumni from the taken at their church in Gary, IN

classes of 1936 and 1935
respectively.
The Minton gift will be held in trust.
Investment income will be used for
scholarships.
Dr. Trudie Kibbe Reed who became
the 11th president of PSC on July 1 is
launching the first academic discipline of Black Family Studies. The
program was developed from critical
concern for the "crisis" facing African-American families, Dr. Reed said.
"Correctional facilities have become
the caretakers of black youth. What
has happened to the core values that
were once transmitted to black youth
by families and communities?" Dr.
Reed asked. "Will the black family
survive i f we continue to lose generations of youth to violence, crime, despair and hopelessness?" Dr. Reed

said the crisis can be reversed with
"a new synergy," and the Black Family Studies Program is a key element.
This program is so important that it
has the potential to become a model
for the nation," Mrs. Minton said.
Through a separate scholarship program established at PSC by the
Mintons in 1990, the couple will provide an additional $5,000 annually for
scholarships for students minoring in
Black Family Studies. Some of these
funds will be earmarked for graduates
of Gary High School in the Minton's
hometown of Gary, Indiana.
The Mintons also will provide an
additional $ 1,000 annually to support
"the Dr. Clifford E. Minton and Mrs.
Alma Hawkins Minton Lectureship
for Black Family Studies" at PSC. As

FROM THE PRESIDENT
One of the first things that I discovered at Philander Smith
College is the level of commitment and pride that our alumni
have toward their alma mater. Your
involvement and support are outstanding!
I appreciate the warm welcome that
you extended to me through the reception that was held in my honor in
September and during the holiday
celebrations that were held. The
Little Rock Chapter even extended
an "honorary alumna" status to me which I cherish.
I also have had the pleasure of meeting alumni during my
visits to alumni chapters in Gary, Indiana; Kansas City,
Missouri; and Atlanta. The visits have been valuable and
everyone has been so gracious. Thank you so much for your
hospitality, your ideas and your insight. I look forward to
meeting more alumni, especially during the Annual Convention that will take place July 15 -18 in Kansas City, MO.
The Inauguration served as the kick-off for the Black Family Studies Program, a new academic discipline that will
serve as a model for the nation. Many scholars in the field
of Black Family Studies were on campus conducting seminars during Inauguration week. These lecturers included
Drs. Clifford Minton, Harlan London, James Turner, Robert Staples, Harriette Pipes McAdoo, and Maulana Karenga.
We are proud that our students, faculty, staff, and community had access to this powerful educational experience.
"Building Traditions of Excellence" has become the trademark of Philander Smith College, and our alumni are central to that. We are raising the bar in terms of academic
excellence. Let's work hand in hand to ensure the College
is on the cutting edge, as we enter the 21 s t Century. •

FROM THE
ALUMNI AFFAIRS
DIRECTOR
First, I want to thank you for the support that you exhibited during the
"Giving Back" phonathon that was
held in the fall. Our students thorDelia Moore '88
oughly enjoyed talking to you over
the phone and were encouraged by the affinity that many
of our alumni have for Philander Smith College. The amount
of enthusiasm that you generate among the students when
you say "yes" when asked to support the College is wonderful. This positive interaction makes our students feel

FROM THE NATIONAL ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT
Philander Smith College has taken
its place in the annals of higher education by selecting its first female
president, Dr. Trudie Kibbe Reed. Dr.
Reed took office July 1, 1998, and
"hit the ground running!" She has
taken the time to gather as much
knowledge as possible about our
Alma Mater and its needs. A strate- Dr. Eulah Peterson '69
gic plan has been developed and
implementation is underway. We must strive to prepare our
students for 21 s t century challenges.
I urge every alumnus and friend of Dear Ole PSC to make
a commitment to join in with our new president, share her
visions and goals, and support her efforts. Dr. Reed is a
"ball of energy" and has a contagious desire to bring the
College to its highest level of service. I salute her for her
present accomplishments, and I pledge to be a contributing
alumnus, in word and deed, as she seeks to fulfill her mission. Please, join me in this pledge.
The National Alumni Association is still working to f i nancially support and promote the College. Our Vice President Kathryn Worthen, is leading our efforts with the Academic Building Fund Project. Alumni are still encouraged
to give to this worthy cause. We really need to retire this
obligation.
Now that we have entered the last year of the 20 th century, let's pause to thank God for being a constant presence
in our lives. We acknowledge that He is the "true" source
of all that we have and all that we are. May God continue
to bless us all! •

MISS PSC CHARLOTTE
RENEE THOMAS

Clarence Smith, a senior

Each of the 39 UNCF
member institutions was
allowed to nominate two

of giving back to our communities and schools," Clarence
said.
Clarence said that he will use the scholarship to pay off
the remainder of his tuition.
