Letter of Welcome This inaugural magazine, Engaged, features stories about our students, donors, alumni, and faculty.

The Department of Social Work at Fayetteville State University has much to celebrate. We strive to provide an environment that supports excellence in teaching, research and service. For fourteen years, we have been in the business of preparing students for social work practice. Students matriculate in an environment that promotes diversity and brings together faculty, field instructors, social work professionals, and students for collaborative learning. Our faculty are experts in a wide range of areas such as child welfare, aging, military social work, domestic violence, spirituality, cultural competence, HIV/AIDS, administration and mentorship. We have some of the best and brightest students and the faculty have impeccable social work practice experience and impressive teaching qualifications.

The future is calling the Department of Social Work to build upon great achievements such as graduating its first class of MSW students in 2005 and graduating the first class of BSW students in 2014, launching our MSW Part-time Weekend Program in 2006, establishing our Military Behavioral Health Graduate Certificate Program as well as our Certificate Program in Substance Abuse Studies, and at Fort Sam Houston having the only Master of Social Work Program in the country on a military installation.

At Fayetteville State University, our Department of Social Work is committed to the core values of the social work profession and seeks to prepare future practitioners for advocacy and practice with diverse populations, especially our military families and veterans.

We are ENGAGED‌ and committed to providing an inviting learning atmosphere.

Learn who we are and enjoy reading Engaged!

The very best to you,

Terri Moore Brown, Ed.D., MSW Department Chair and Master of Social Work Director

MSW Program Celebrates Ten Years of Accreditation

A

lot happened in 10 years! 2013 marked 10 years since the establishment of the MSW accredited program for the Department of Social Work at Fayetteville State University. We grew from a single program to accredited Masters and Bachelor of Social Work Programs, certiďŹ cate programs in Substance Abuse Studies and in Military Behavioral Health, and an off-site Army-FSU MSW Program. 10th year anniversary was the opportunity to celebrate our achievements with our MSW graduates, current students, faculty, staff, FSU family, and community. Events were held throughout the year to showcase our education and mission. We concluded the 10th year anniversary with a fun-ďŹ lled banquet. We are proud and grateful for the support of our graduates and current students, and the Department of Social Work family!

reetings. We are very happy to report that the BSW program admitted its first cohort of majors the fall of 2012, and we accept applications continuously. These are exciting times for undergraduate social work education at FSU as we seek to prepare students for future service to our clients locally, in the state of

North Carolina, nationally and internationally. BSW level social workers are true generalist as they are prepared to provide multiple services to client systems across different levels, and with clients presenting an array of problems and circumstances, particularly those who live in rural areas and are affiliated with the military.

We believe that we have amassed a talented group of diverse scholars with great academic and professional potential. We were granted initial accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education, our accrediting body in February of 2015. We graduated our first cohort of students the spring of 2014, a second cohort the fall of 2014, and the third cohort the fall of 2015. Most of our graduates are either employed in the field or are enrolled in MSW programs. The profession of social work has a 98% employability rate. This means that there are enough jobs to employ 98% of the people earning BSW and MSW degrees. Please visit the website of the social work department for further information on the BSW program and to complete an application for admission.

FSU Army MSW Program

O

n June 23, 2008, history was made when eighteen active duty military were selected for the Fayetteville State University MSW Program at Fort Sam Houston, TX. The accredited off-campus FSU MSW Program was developed to increase the number of uniformed social work officers. The number of requirements for social workers in the Army significantly increased

due to the War on Terror. Active duty military social workers are needed to effectively respond to the wounds of war that are inflicted on soldiers and their families. As a result, one of the major objectives of the MSW Program is to integrate throughout the social work curriculum the culture and core values of soldiers and military families. These characteristics distinguish us from other MSW Programs in the country and will serve as an asset to the U.S. Military. Active duty soldiers, sailors, and national guardsmen interested in the off-campus FSU MSW Program must contact their local military health care recruiter. Prospective students udents must mu meet the admission requirements of Fayetteville State University and the Army Long-term Health Education and Training.

Army FSU Social Workers “Forging Solutions Out of Problems”

M

arch is National Social Work Month and this year’s theme is “Forging Solutions out of Challenges.”

The National Association of Social Workers drew the Inspiration for this year’s theme from the historic social worker and

former U.S. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. Through Perkins’ example of public service, social workers today continue to seek out challenges that people within the community are facing and assist in any way possible.

Perkins served under President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1945 and was the first woman ever appointed to a U.S. Cabinet position.

The 2016 Master of Social Work class at the U.S. Army Medical Department Center & School, Health Readiness Center of Excellence at Fort Sam Houston has continued the tradition of service in the community that the social workers who have come before established.

During the past year, Army-Fayetteville State University Social work students continued to search for opportunities in which they can help to become part of the solution to many challenges that face the community.

In order to support a culture in line with this important value of service, students have volunteered with a number of community agencies that provide the opportunity to be involved in solutions for the community.

In March 2015, students participated in the Rape Crisis Center’s Run 4 Hope, which assists in raising money to end all forms of violence and empowering survivors of sexual violence. In April 2015, students assisted in running a booth at the United Way Kids Festival.

When San Marcos was hit by tragic flooding in May 2015, a group of students volunteered to assist with the cleanup of neighborhoods where many homes had been destroyed due to water damage. During an adoption event at the Animal Defense League in June, social work students assisted in walking and playing with the dogs and cats that were hoping to be taken in to new, loving homes.

In September, 2015, students assisted in building homes for Habitat for Humanity. During the holidays, social work program students assisted in packing food for families with the San Antonio Food Bank. The students completed the year with volunteering at a Boysville event, where the students were paired with children and assisted them in shopping for Christmas gifts.

The willingness for the social worker students to participate in community events established relationships that will continue to grow throughout future classes at the AMEDD Center and School.

Our Students are Engaged Million Man March

by Michael Washington President of the Bachelor of Social Work Student Association (2015-2016)

O

n October 10, 2015, the Fayetteville State University Broncos became a part of history as we traveled to Washington, DC. to participate in the twenty-year anniversary of the Million Man March. BSW students Candace Joyner, Michael Washington, and Shantel Covington attended the event as representatives of the Social Work Department. The five-hour bus trip was

sponsored by the university’s Student Government Association and offered students the opportunity to participate in the political process of advocating for such topics as the Black Lives Matter movement, the use of excessive force by police officers, immigration, as well as a host of other culturally relevant topics.

It was exciting to see so many different people on one accord and acknowledging that every voice matters. The trip concluded with a powerful speech given by Minister Louis Farrakhan as well as other national and international speakers. The speakers promoted selfempowerment, self-worth, dignity, and resiliency. These are many of the same characteristics that are promoted in the field of Social Work every day.

Our Students are Engaged FSU Social Work Student Receives Top Award

T

he National Association of Social Workers North Carolina Chapter (NASW-NC) named Monica Haynes as the recipient of the 2013 NASW-NC Presidents’ Award for Master of Social Work graduate student for the 2012-2013 academic year.

Haynes’ exhibits a dedication to the social work profession through her academic excellence, community involvement, and

professional experience. The NASW-NC Presidents’ Award honors Monica’s exceptional leadership skills and professional potential.

Haynes has spent a number of years coordinating early childhood education services at the Partnership for Children of Cumberland County.

Haynes long-term goal is to be a marriage and family therapist where she would be able to support families through counseling and intervention programs. Haynes believes “the family is the central unit where all things begin and end. Therefore, it is my desire to have the opportunity to make a positive and direct impression on the lives of families.”

Social Work Students’ Voices Heard During Advocacy Day Advocacy Day March 25, 2015

(FSU Students and Faculty who attended the Advocacy Day Conference and NC Representatives pictured above)

Every long legislative session (odd numbered years) in North Carolina the National Association of Social Workers North Carolina Chapter (NASW-NC) invites hundreds of social workers and social work students to the North Carolina General Assembly to participate in NASW-NC Social Work Advocacy Day. The goal of this event is to further social workers’ knowledge about policy issues in substantive areas of social work practice, teach participants about legislative advocacy, and provide an opportunity for social workers to educate their legislators about the social work profession and important client issues. Social Work Advocacy Day is a day to talk to legislators about issues that are impacting social workers. Through the help and support of advocates we are able to advance the interests of the social work profession and issues of social and economic justice in the North Carolina General Assembly.

Our Students are Engaged Being a Work-Study Student for the Department of Social Work at Fayetteville State University

by Quentin Gilmore

W

hat is it like to be a student worker in the Department of Social Work at Fayetteville State University?

For me it is an exciting, wonderful, and educational experience. I am grateful that Dr. Terri Moore Brown allowed me to have the opportunity to be in the position to not only work and earn money

as an employee but also be able to work in the department and gain experience from other Social Work faculty in the department. I consider it to be a privilege to work with faculty that have taught me in various social work courses. Now they are able to see me as a student worker who is willing to learn in the classroom and be able to transition into an employee in the department.

I am a student worker that is under the leadership of Dr. Quienton L. Nichols. Dr. Nichols is a professor who teaches at the graduate and undergraduate level of the Social Work Program. I collaborate with him in completing academic assignments. So far, I have helped Dr. Nichols grade tests and written assignments. Now he has assigned for me to look up some peer-reviewed articles for one of his personal writing assignments. Dr. Nichols serves as a knowledgeable and influential supervisor who encourages me to do my best at any assignment that I am given and assists me any time I encounter a barrier. As stated previously, I am truly honored to be a student worker in the Department of Social Work at Fayetteville State University. As the assistant of Dr. Quienton L. Nichols, I am receiving valuable knowledge about the program, the profession, and much appreciated counseling as well.

Graduate Assistantship Program Makes a Difference

by Ursula Merritt, Graduate Assistant

M

y experience with the Fayetteville State University’s Graduate Assistant Program has been an exciting, informative, and rewarding journey. It all began with an inquiry of my advisor, Dr. Perkins, who has always been available, resourceful, and there to listen, advise, encourage, and assist at a moment’s

notice. Dr. Perkins encouraged me to apply for the graduate assistantship. I received assistantship and I must admit that in the beginning, I was a bit nervous. I was surprised and impressed, to say the least, at the opportunities and learning experiences that were offered to me.

Within the first month, I began writing an article to submit in the New Social Worker magazine. We drafted an article to a magazine and are prepared to attend and present the article at a conference. I assisted Dr. Brown in creating and grading an exam for the students in her class. I attended a meeting with Dr. Brown and the grant writers of FSU and was able to understand first-hand how the grant writing process begins. I attended another meeting with other directors from the Psychology department and was asked for my input, as a student, regarding another grant and research opportunity. I learned how to critique and edit a syllabus. I assisted with research for a journal article. I also began working on a support group for grandparents raising their grandchildren. I have to admit that it has been the most stimulating and extraordinary experiences I have had as a student.

12

Our Students are Engaged I am impressed and so appreciative of the time and knowledge that Dr. Brown has shared with me. She is very delightful and a brilliant motivator, teacher, mentor, leader, and life coach. She presented me with so many options for my career as a social worker that I had not considered before entering the graduate assistantship program.

Each morning when I arrive at the school, Dr. Brown greets me with a smile and says, “Good Morning, Dr. Merritt!” For some reason, Dr. Brown believes that I can, and I should, pursue a doctorate degree, and for some odd reason I am starting to think that she just may be right!

Graduate Assistantship Provides Many Opportunities

by Denisha L. Tyson, Graduate Assistant

T

he graduate assistantship at Fayetteville State University’s Department of Social Work has provided me with many great opportunities. I truly enjoy working with the diverse populations that make up the department. This position allows me to collaborate with other social work students and provides them

with information that assists them in attaining professional development.

Faculty and staff within Fayetteville State University’s Department of Social Work go above and beyond to ensure that students have everything they require to be successful academically, professionally, and personally. I appreciate these individuals much more now that I am able to look at them through the eyes of a graduate assistant and not just a student. I relish in the fact that students have a nourishing relationship with faculty and staff, and they frequently visit faculty and staff to discuss their academic progress. I have had the opportunity to assist undergraduate students with obtaining resources they otherwise had no prior knowledge of and this is rewarding to me.

If you have the opportunity to become a graduate assistant, I highly recommend that you do because it is a great experience that teaches you so much about what it takes to be a professional in an academic setting. It also allows you the ability to network in a professional setting, and make connections that could lead to more opportunities in the future. I have met more faculty due to my position this semester. As a graduate assistant, you are a short-term coworker with the staff and faculty within the university, but you learn life-long skills that will follow you through your career. This is one of most enlightening positions I have held, and I look forward to learning so much more from this department.

Boots to Suits Conference

I

n 2012 Fayetteville State University Department of Social Work was the first in North Carolina to host the Boots to Suits Conference.

The mission of the conference was to provide hiring managers and human resources professionals with the strategies of recruiting today’s competitive military talent, discuss the value of employing veterans and their spouses, and encourage them to adopt military friendly hiring practices. We have hosted the conference every year

Delhaize/Food Lion – major sponsor, Bank of America, Give an Hour, and ServiceSource and its Warrior Bridge Program have been the dedicated sponsors for this meaningful event. In 2014, we were excited to add L3National Security Solutions, DuPont, Amidon and Walmart to our list. In 2016, our list expanded to include First Citizens Bank, Novo Nordisk, Sam’s Club, Hanes Brands Inc., Piedmont Natural Gas, Premise Health, Tanger Outlets, Sherefe, Republican Leadership Initiatives, North Carolina National Guard Education and Employment Center, Non-Commissioned Officers Association, and Hire Heroes USA. This conference was made possible with the efforts and dedication of the planning committee members of these invaluable agencies: Service Source/ Warrior Bridge, Alliance Behavioral Health, Army Community Service (ACS), Army One Source, Fayetteville Vet Center, NC Workforce Solutions, FSU Corporate and Foundations Relations, and FSU Continuing Education.

“The Boots to Suits conference not only provided an opportunity for Food Lion to connect to a strong Veteran workforce, it brought multiple topics of intersectional learning to our Diversity & Inclusion and Talent Acquisition teams. Through the workshops and materials provided we have a stronger understanding of how the experiences that women, different generations, and other veterans can bring a variety of unique skills into the workplace.

Those learnings, along with the career fair the following day, made the Boots to Suits an exceptional event for our Food Lion team.”

Diana Roberge, Talent Acquisition Sourcer, Delhaize America “Day 1 (Educational and Networking Event) for me was another great education in to the world of the military from this non-military HR manager who, the more I learn, appreciates the many positive attributes, skills, and work ethic military personnel can bring to our organizations. Day 2 (Job Fair) brought a surprising number of diverse candidates. I was happy to see different years of experiences, education levels, and a range of years of service. Granted, many thought Appalachian State was a little far away from where they would like to end up, but we are hopeful that it opened their eyes to ASU’s presence and to the fact that we really appreciate hiring military personnel.”

Peace Corps Joins Department of Social Work

T

he Peace Corps Recruitment Office opened in 2014 in the Department of Social Work. Mr. Gary Wicks is the Peace Corps Recruiter and is responsible for recruiting students of FSU and surrounding communities for Peace Corps

volunteers. Peace Corps is the preeminent international service agency of the United States government. It sends trained individuals overseas for two-year assignments in one of six program areas: education, health, community economic development (business-related), agriculture, environment, and youth in development (social work).

The application process is competitive-- more than 22,000 individuals applied for about 4000 positions in 2014. The most competitive candidates are service-oriented, flexible, and have volunteer and leadership experience. More than 90% of all Peace Corps positions require a BS or BA degree. By serving in the Peace Corps, FSU graduates gain two years of unparalleled work and leadership experience, proficiency in a second (or third) language, unique cultural understanding, and a life-long commitment to service-- all of which position them well to succeed in today’s global economy.

Despite being called “volunteers”, individuals serving in Peace Corps receive considerable material benefits, including a living stipend, complete medical and dental coverage, unique graduate school opportunities, and (after service) a one-time transition payment of about $8900 (before taxes). The mission of the Peace Corps aligns with and is a natural extension of one of the goals of FSU, which is to provide students with learning experiences that prepare them to serve as global citizens, leaders, and change agents for shaping the future.
