The Presidential Scholar Awards were initiated in 1977 by Dr. M. Maceo Nance, Jr., the fifth President ofSouth Carolina State University. The underlying objectives for establishing the awards were (1) to recognizestudents who demonstrate academic excellence; (2) to encourage those who demonstrate academic excellenceto maintain and achieve higher levels of academic pursuits; (3) to provide symbolic recognition via the PresidentialPin, which would be significant to those who earn the award and to those who view the same; and (4) toprovide an incentive to all students to achieve academic excellence. This established tradition at the Universitycontinues to preserve our legacy.

A recipient of the Presidential Scholar Award must be a full-time, regularly enrolled, degree-seekingundergraduate at the University. To qualify for a gold pin, freshmen and transfer students must have averagesof 3.94 to 4.00. Pins are awarded based upon the following criteria:

BRONZE 3.00-3.49 Cumulative grade point average (GPA)SILVER 3.50-3.74 Cumulative grade point average (GPA)GOLD 3.75-4.00 Cumulative grade point average (GPA)

Students whose enrollment status are reduced to part-time as a result of participation in special programswill be evaluated on their performance during the fall semester of the year of the award and the prior springor summer full-time enrollment.

Presidential Scholar Awards

This occasion has been designated as an appropriate time to honor students who have distinguished themselvesin scholarship and service. Such distinctions are manifested through the attainment of Presidential Pins, academicscholarships and induction into academic honor societies.

CALL ME MISTER PROGRAM

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY

Dr. Roy Jones is Lecturer and Executive Director for the Eugene T. Moore

School of Education’s Call Me MISTER Program at Clemson University. The

mission of the Call Me MISTER (acronym for Mentors Instructing Students

Toward Effective Role Models) National Initiative is to increase the pool of

available teachers from a broader more diverse background particularly among

the Nation’s lowest performing elementary schools.

Over the past nine years, since the program’s inception in South Carolina, it has placed nearly 60 certified

African American males primarily in elementary and middle public school classrooms. Several of the programs

more recent graduates come from South Carolina State University. There are now over 250 pre service teachers

enrolled among a network of 30 colleges and universities in seven states with a Call Me MISTER program

operating.

Call Me MISTER has received accolades from a broad spectrum of national media and high profile celebrities

to include, USA Today, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Atlanta Journal, ABC World News, National Public

Radio (NPR), Associated Press, Diverse Issues in Education, Blackamerica Web, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby and

education journals such as Education Week, Teachersofcolor and Instructor magazine. Dr. Jones was also

named the 2009 recipient of the American Association of Blacks in Higher Education’s Pacesetter Award.

Previously, Dr. Jones was Associate Professor in the Division of Education at Claflin University in Orangeburg,

S.C. Dr. Jones served as chair of the Division of Education during the period Claflin received the distinction of

becoming the first historically black private institution in the State to receive the National Council for the

Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) accreditation. From 1990 to 1998, Dr. Jones served as Director

of Employment for the Charleston County School District and was responsible for the district’s teacher and

classified recruitment programs. He has successfully implemented and directed numerous programs in higher

education throughout his career. He has presented countless workshops, seminars, forums, and panel discussions

surrounding racial and cultural issues in education.

Dr. Jones received his Doctorate from the University of Georgia, Masters from Atlanta University and

Bachelors from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Sing the praise of Alma MaterLet us rally to her callsLift our voices, send them ringingThru the groves and classic halls.

Hail! Hail! Dear Alma MaterHail! Hail! Dear S.C.C.We’ll defend and honorLove and cherish thee.

We are loyal sons and daughtersProud to own the name we bear,For the truths that thou hast taught usReady all to do or dare.

--Robert Shaw Wilkinson(Second President, 1911-1932)

Lift ev’ry voice and sing,Till earth and heaven ring.Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;Let our rejoicing rise,High as the listening skies,Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,Let us march on till victory is won.

Stoney the road we trod,Bitter the chast’ning rod,Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;Yet with a steady beat,Have not our weary feet,Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at lastWhere the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,God of our silent tears,Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;Thou who has by Thy might,Lead us into the light,Keep us forever in the path, we pray.Lest our feet stray from the places, Our God, where we met Thee,Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee,Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,True to our GOD, True to our native land.

Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing
