Maxie Collier Scholarship Program
The Maxie Collier Scholars Program and the Active Minds at
Coppin State University Chapter
partnered together on April 23rd
to present “Changing The Conversation about Mental Health.” The
Maxie Collier Scholars Program
aims to attract students to the field
of mental health and the mission
of the Active Minds at CSU Chapter is to increase students’ awareness of mental health disorders
and symptoms.
Mr. Jordan Burnham was the
keynote speaker for the annual
Celebration and is a public speaker who discusses mental health
disorders that affect many people.
Mr. Burnham shared his story of
struggling with depression, substance use, and hiding his internal pain during high school.
Jordan was honored as one of the “2010 Best of Philly” for his work with mental health and speaking. He was featured in major Philadelphia print,
Sports Illustrated, People Magazine, USA Today, and appeared on local and national broadcast news, ESPN’s E:60, CNN, Dr. Phil, Good Morning America, and The Early Show. Jordan Burnham even addressed a Congressional briefing on Capitol Hill.
Over 100 students, faculty members, and community partners to include the Mental Hygiene Administration, Baltimore Crisis Response, Inc., and

Bishop Robinson Justice Institute Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
On Wednesday, February 6, 2013. The
Coppin State University, School of Professional Studies formally opened the
Bishop L. Robinson Sr. Justice Institute.
Mr. Robinson, who spent 50 years in public service and was the first African American Police Commissioner in Baltimore
City, said “Throughout my career, I recognized the need to better prepare individuals for entry into federal, state, county,
municipal, and private criminal justice
agencies particularly in relation to public
service within urban communities. The
Justice Institute is designed to provide
customized training programs that combine cutting-edge research and field practice,” stated Mr. Robinson, who received
his Master’s of Education degree at Coppin State University in 1973.
The Bishop L. Robinson Sr. Institute at Coppin State University will provide training, education, and research on a broad range of justice issues in law enforcement, corrections, public
and mental health, and related social factors that contribute to the prevention of crime in urban communities. It is based on a customized cross-disciplinary approach designed to integrate disciplines, cutting-edge research, and field practice. To accomplish this, the Institute
has three components: Training Academy, Advanced Academic and Certification Programs,
and an Applied Research Program.
SPS Professional Conversation with Shvilla Rasheem
tificate in Non-Profit Management, was the
first lecturer.
Ms. Rasheem’s background as a Certified
Nonprofit Professional and her particular
passion for equity and social justice provided a wealth of information for students
and faculty alike. As a result of a decision
made very early in life, Shvilla decided
that she would not merely be a product of
her environment; she decided to make her
environment a product of her. That decision led her to be intentional about adding
value to every school, job, group, and relationship, personal and professional involvement.
The School of Professional Studies held
its inaugural SPS Professional Conversations On Thursday, April 25, 2013 with
Alumnae (2010) Shvilla Rasheem. Professional Conversations Series will be a
monthly offering for all SPS students to
hear from CSU/SPS alums about their
professional
journeys after Coppin.
Shvilla Rasheem, a 2010 graduate in
Social Science with a minor and a Cer-
VOLUME 6 ISSUE 1
Working for the U.S. Department of State
in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, has
allowed her to see how the administration
of private, government and public business
enterprises work together to empower people where they want change. She manages
grants that provide support to country’s
civil society and government leaders as
they enhance the competency and independence of the judicial sector, increase
women’s education, streamline business process
and legal procedures.
Her membership in the National Black MBA
Association, her role as a steering committee
member in Executive Women at State as well as
her membership in the Project Management
Institute (PMI) demonstrates her ability to form
and function in emergent teams that value and
respect clear purpose and roles, diversity, shared
leadership, a commitment to common principles, and active participation. She is also a
member of American Humanics (a nation-wide
nonprofit leadership training program). Ms.
Rasheem created and facilitates a women’s
group that meets monthly, and she also teaches
youth ministry at her church. Her collective
memberships and consistent volunteer services
speak to her ability to build and maintain meaningful relationships over time. Shvilla will receive her Master’s Degree from Loyola University in Non-Profit Leadership in May 2013. Her
presentation appears on
