BraveBulletin... - The University of North Carolina at Pembroke

Vol. 14 | Issue 8 | February 15, 2013
Our 125th Anniversary celebration has provided impetus for us as a
community to reflect upon all that has occurred to get us where we are today – we
have a lot to be proud of at UNC Pembroke.
This spring, we will be asking you, our faculty and staff, to contribute to the
strength and health of this University – Our University. Together We Give…Together
We Grow means exactly what it says – if we join together in giving to our University,
we can continue to enjoy the fruits of our labor and set our sights on a bright future.
We have established a goal to raise over $65,000 this spring. Additionally, we are
interested in increasing the number of our faculty and staff who give. We hope to
have over 200 donors this year. These dollars will provide the support our University
needs to move forward through student scholarships and program support. Together
as a group, we are much stronger than our individual parts. Regardless of the
amount of your contribution, we appreciate your continued support.
This month, through focus groups and surveys, we have been gathering broad
input from our diverse community for a branding initiative - the development of
messages and graphic images that best describe the university and leave a lasting
impression. This is an important process to clarify and focus how we communicate
the UNC Pembroke educational experience to prospective students and others. We
look forward to launching the new ‘brand identity’ in the summer.
And as we soar into the future, we should remember those who have come
before us in the last 125 years and try to exceed their expectations of what UNCP
could ever become.

Graduate counseling
programs earn
accreditation
The Clinical Mental Health
Program and the Professional School
Counseling Program have earned
accreditation from the Council for
Accreditation of Counseling and Related
Education Programs (CACREP).
CACREP is the nationally
recognized training standard for
counselor education programs.
CACREP notified UNCP in January that
its programs have been accredited for
two years, renewable for an additional
six years.
Graduation from CACREPaccredited
programs is required by
a growing number of third-party
payers such as Tricare, the healthcare
administrator that serves the military.
Accreditation also allows UNCP-trained
counselors to work for or contract
with the Departments of Defense and
Veterans Affairs with its nine million
veterans, active duty service men and
women and their families.

Clawson
aims to keep
UNCP ‘military
friendly’
Retired U.S. Army
Colonel Michael
Clawson is the new
coordinator of Military
and Veterans Services
at the university.
“A veteran
faces the difficulty of returning to
civilian life in society that generally
appreciates their service - but doesn’t
always understand it,” Clawson said.
A former commander and
helicopter pilot with the 101st
Airborne, Clawson is a 28-year
veteran who deployed twice to Iraq,
twice to Afghanistan and served in
Desert Storm. A civilian since 2009,
he joined UNCP in late 2012.
UNCP has earned several
“military friendly” designations
from G.I. Jobs magazine, and in late
2012, Military Advanced Education
included UNCP as one of three
state-supported universities in North
Carolina on its list of military-friendly
schools.
“The numbers for the spring
semester show UNCP has 752
students with military connections,
and 440 of them are dependents,”
Clawson said. “Dependents may
have the most potential for UNCP
recruiters, but our biggest challenge
is service to vets and active duty
soldiers, including National
Guardsmen and reserves.”
Clawson is in a unique position
to serve UNCP and veterans. A North
Carolina native and Appalachian
State University graduate, his son is a
senior at UNCP.
The Veterans Assistance Office
is part of the Office of Engaged
Outreach and is located in the D.F.
Lowry Building inside the university’s
Student Support Services cluster.

UNCP Summit to Defeat Hunger
On January 26, the university held its first Hunger Summit to address and
combat the issue of hunger in Robeson County.
Held at the Regional Center, the summit was open to the community and
students who were invited to share ideas. The event was organized by Dr. Scott
Hicks (English & Theatre), sociology professor Dr. Brooke Kelly (Sociology
& Criminal Justice), Christie Poteet (Community & Civic Engagement), Dr.
Deborah Hanmer (Biology), Dr. Veronica Hardy (Social Work), Dr. Karen Stanley
(Education), Emily Locklear (Sustainable Agriculture) and Aaron Wilson, a
graduate student.
Several ideas and issues emerged in two work sessions. Some began with
addressing hunger on campus. Dr. MJ Raleigh (Counseling & Testing) proposed a
food pantry at UNCP to combat hunger with college students and the community.
Other plans discussed included getting the word out about free meals offered
by local churches, teaching school children how to grow their own foods, creating
a centralized database to gather more ideas from the community and starting a
workforce development program to help those in need of education, internships
and employment.
