THE
PRESIDENT’S
CORNER
Dr. Everette J. Freeman
A jazz great
is coming
to Albany
I love jazz. It’s as simple
as that. What’s not to love
about jazz? It’s the rhythm
and notes and story of the
only music that’s truly
American. And just like the
people of the United States,
it’s created from bits and
pieces of music forms from
around the world, melted
down and formed to be
uniquely American.
Jazz doesn’t
discriminate. It doesn’t
require hours upon hours of
study to understand.
Anyone can hear jazz and
appreciate its syncopation,
its melancholy, its joy, its
vibrato.
As a lover of jazz, I’m
well familiar with the great
collaborations of two greats
in the 1960s – Frank Sinatra
and Count Basie. Both wellestablished musicians on
their own, they joined

Tickets still available for Frank Sinatra Jr. concert
On Nov. 17 an icon of jazz
music will take to the stage at
the Albany Municipal Auditorium.
Frank Sinatra, Jr. and his
combo will join the Albany
State University Jazz Ensemble to perform some of the
popular songs from the 1960s
when Sinatra’s father collaborated with another jazz great,
Count Basie. Two of the most
popular songs from that collaboration are “Fly Me to the
Moon” and “The Lady is a
Tramp.”
On Nov. 18, Sinatra and his
instrumentalists will move
from performers to educators

Auditorium on
the ASU
campus.
“Our

Frank Sinatra Jr. an opportunity to
share the stage with the son of
an American music icon, who
has established himself as a
major figure in jazz,” said
Michael Decuir, ASU director
of bands. “Additionally, Albany area high school musicians and music educators will
be able to engage with Mr.
Sinatra Jr., as well as other mu-
sicians with regards to jazz, its
history, improvisation and
teaching strategies.”

talents to create some of the most well-known jazz standards, such as “Luck Be a Lady,” “Fly Me to
the Moon,” “I Only Have Eyes for You” and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” The recordings from
their performances are still selling today.
While Count Basie and Ol’ Blue Eyes are no longer with us, their music lives on. In his later
years, Sinatra called on his son to serve as conductor for his band. The two shared not only a fatherson bond, but also the passion for creating great music. Sinatra’s music lives on through his son.
Frank Jr. has worked to establish himself as a musician, although he’s said the famous name
often required extra hard work to prove himself. His performances have received praise from some
of the toughest critics. He’s known in the world of jazz for his determination and dedication.
I was delighted to learn that Frank Sinatra Jr. would perform with the ASU Jazz Ensemble in a
concert on Nov. 17 at the Albany Municipal Auditorium. Even better, Frank Jr. will perform music
from the Sinatra-Basie collaborations. The best part is that members of the ASU Jazz Ensemble will
join Frank Jr. and his instrumentalists on stage for the performance.
(Imagine putting that on your résumé. Not only did you receive a degree from Albany State
University, but you performed with Frank Sinatra Jr.!)
Frank Jr.’s performance isn’t the usual road gig. Proceeds from the concert will go toward ASU
music scholarships. The following day, Frank Jr. and his instrumentalists will hold a clinic for area
high school and college musicians who want to learn more about the jazz art form.
Frank Jr.’s generosity is inspiring. It’s such an honor that he chose to come to Albany to benefit
Albany State University. It’s an honor that we can’t afford to let pass us by.
So pick up your tickets now before they’re all gone. You’ll want to be part of the momentous
history-making event in the Good Life City.

PSC committee commends Educational Leadership Program
By Twaneshia Sanders
Student writer
About a year ago, Albany State University was one of 14 institutions in Georgia to
implement a newly redesigned Educational
Leadership Program.
On Oct. 26, three examiners fromthe
Georgia Professional Standards Commission (PSC) – the entity responsible for
preparation, certification and continued licensing of Georgia public educators – visited ASU to conduct an informal review of
the program.
“The PSC wanted to go to the 14 institutions to see the implications of the program,
the progress these institutions have made so
far with the program, and to address any
problems or concerns,” said Dr. Deborah
Bembry, interim chair of the Department of
Counseling and Educational Leadership.
The PSC informal review process consisted of interviews and a program assessment. There was an exit interview on
Tuesday, Oct. 27, during which the examiners gave ASU seven commendations,
“This new program has
removed the theoretical element
and has made it a more applied
degree. They are actually doing
real work in a real place in a
real-time setting.”
– Dr. Wilbur Campbell, dean
ASU College of Education
which illustrated that the College of Education is on the right track with the new program. There were a few recommendations
given as well.
“The recommendations that were given
were not because we were lacking in a particular area, but because the PSC recognized
that we were in the beginning stages of that
area and encouraged us to continue to build
on it,” Bembry said. “The candidates are really appreciating the new curriculum and
are performing well.”
The Educational Leadership Program
prepares individuals to serve in building
and/or system level education leadership
roles and positions from pre-kindergarten
through 12th grade.
Recently, the Educational Leadership
Program went from a standards-based
model to a performance-based model. In the
past, candidates of this program would learn
in a theoretical environment. With changes
to the program, candidates now apply the
skills they have learned in real-life settings.
“There is a value in this new program,”
said Dr. Wilbur Campbell, dean of the College of Education. “This new program has
removed the theoretical element and has
made it a more applied degree. They are actually doing real work in a real place in a
real-time setting.”
The new program allows candidates to
spend more time executing the skills that
they have learned in the classroom. Now
candidates are spending one-third of their
time learning the content, one-third of their
time simulating and practicing what they
have learned, and one-third of their time out
in the field experimenting. Each candidate
is also backed with a coach, mentor and college advisor to help make sure that the candidate is more successful in the program.
USDA to hold small business, co-ops conference at ASU on Monday
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization will hold a small business
conference from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, in the ACAD Auditorium at
Albany State University.
The conference is one of a series the
USDA is conducting with the goal of helping small farmer-owned cooperatives and
small rural businesses to compete more
successfully for government and commercial contracts.
At the conference, small farmer-owned
cooperative and small rural businesses
will:
learn more about the required capabilities and certifications for participating in federal food commodity
procurements;
learn about USDA resources for business development and technical assistance; establish relationships with key
USDA personnel who purchase food
products and who set and establish policy and standards; and
learn how to increase and to meet de-
mand for their products within local
food systems, USDA and other federal
agencies.
Registration for the conference is free.

For three nights, students,
faculty and staff will be
treated to a theatre production of music, dance and a
masterful story that will
surely inspire.
Albany State University’s
Department of Fine Arts,
Speech and Theater presents
“Crowns” Nov. 12-14 at 7:30
p.m. in the ACAD Auditorium.
“Crowns” was written by
Regina Taylor, an award-winning actress and playwright.
The ASU production is directed by DeRon Williams,
coordinator for Student Activities, and features Dr.
Wendy Coleman, associate
professor in the Department
of Fine Arts, Speech and Theater, as Mother Elsie Shaw.
“Crowns” tells the story of
a young girl sent “down
South” to live with her grandmother after the traumatic
loss of her brother to street
violence. Although she is
broken and angry about being
sent away, the major issue in
the play is the hurt she feels
because of her brother’s
death. She is embraced by a
circle of women who – with
the grace and style displayed
by their “crowns” or church
hats – share powerful, lifechanging stories and help her
discover her identity, her
place in the world and in her
own culture.
“The play will resonate
with ASU students, faculty
and staff, as well as the community, because so many of
us either grew up in the South
or spent summers with relatives down here while we
were growing up, and church
was usually a major part of
that experience,” Coleman
said.
Usually serving as director of the Theatre Ensemble’s
shows, Coleman has entrusted that role to Williams,
who is a graduate of the
Speech and Theater program.
“I actually feel very comfortable in this role,” Coleman stated. “It’s something I
love and am no stranger to as
an assistant pastor and lifelong church member.”
Williams suggested the
production of the play to
Coleman.
“We had seen the piece at
the Alliance in Atlanta before
I graduated, and I’ve really
wanted to do it since that experience,” he said. “Dr. Coleman
exposed
us
to
professional productions to
expand our minds, and it
feels really great that we’re
able to offer this production
to the campus and the community. I’m honored to be directing this piece.”
Along with Coleman,
speech and theatre majors
and non-majors will sing and
dance to familiar songs, such
as “When the Saints Go
Marching In,” “I Got a
Crown Up in That Kingdom,” “Wade in the Water,”
and the Civil Rights anthem
“Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody
Turn Me Round.”
Collaboration to bring the
production together also includes other faculty and community members, including
Bishop J. Nathan Paige, who
serves as musical coordinator. Longtime ASU supporter
Helen Young will provide the
use of many of her own hats
as costume pieces. Scott
Marini, associate professor of
visual arts, will share his talents through set design and
construction. Another speech
and theatre graduate, Martez
G. Favis, returns to assist as
one of the play’s choreographers.
Tickets are available for
purchase in Holley Hall
Rooms 126 and 128, the Office of Student Activities, and
in the community at Helen
Young’s Beauty Salon. General admission tickets are
$10. ASU students, faculty,
and staff may purchase tickets for $5 with a valid ID.
Group rates are available for
10 or more persons.

FNP students hold Health Promotion Fair
By Adam Alexander
Publications specialist
Healthy lifestyle choices was the theme
for Monday’s Health Promotion Fair sponsored by the Department of Nursing. Students in the Family Nurse Practitioner
Program gave oral presentations on various
health topics in order to bring awareness to
some of the many health issues plaguing individuals.
“Albany State has a great family nurse
practitioner program, and we wanted to use
our students to get the information out to the
community because it is a lack of knowledge that hurts people,” said Dr. Lowanda
Dent, adult nurse practitioner and nursing
faculty member.
Dent and Dr. Linda Alford, family nurse
practitioner, were the faculty members who
facilitated the fair.
Jamil Davis is a first-year student in the
program whose presentation focused on
prostate cancer.
“There are some things people take, like
over-the-counter steroids and testosterone
boosters, that increase the risk of prostate
cancer,” he said. “Eating healthy, exercising
and consulting with a physician before taking anything over-the-counter are things
people can do to lower their risk of prostate
cancer.”
His classmate Shuconda Sturdivant

is not limited to sugar intake.

ASU Golden Rams basketball team needs shoes

men’s basketball team wants
your shoes!
The Golden Rams have
formed a partnership with
Greater Faith Harvest Ministries in a shoe drive to secure
shoes for people in need.
Head coach Christopher
Cameron wants the Albany
State community to support the
team’s efforts in the shoe drive.
“There are so many people
in need in this area and partnering with Greater Faith Harvest
Ministries is just a small way
we can give back to the community and help someone in
need,” Cameron said. “There
are homeless people at the shelters in Albany who are walking
around with holes in their
shoes, not to mention children
who are less fortunate and can’t
afford a new pair of shoes. Win-
ter is just around the corner, and
many people in Albany are in
need of adequate shoes for the
winter months.”
Cameron and the Golden
Rams are asking for donations
of any types of shoes in good,
clean condition to be donated
for the program. Shoes will be
accepted at the men’s basketball office in Room 220 at the
HPER Gymnasium until Dec.
12.
“We are encouraging every-
one to help us make a difference in the lives of our citizens
in need,” Cameron said.
The shoe drive is one of several community projects of the
men’s basketball team. The
team recently participated in a
food drive and plans more community projects in the future,

Atlanta Metro alumni honor McMillan
On Oct. 17, a day when the
Golden Rams came to town to do
battle with long time rival Clark
Atlanta University, the Albany
State family came together to
honor an icon of education. Elridge W. McMillan, who recently
retired from the Georgia Board of
Regents, was lauded for his lifelong contributions to higher education in Georgia, the state’s
HBCUs in particular.
The hard-earned victory over
the Panthers later that day was
just as rewarding as the accolades showered on McMillan, by
Dr. Melvin R. Webb and Davey
Gibson, both members of the Atlanta Metropolitan Chapter, and
Dr. Everette J. Freeman, president of Albany State University.
“Mr. McMillan kept the
Board of Regents aware of its
need to seek truth and justice and
maintain some degree of equity
as it deliberated,” Gibson said.
Webb added, “Elridge was
keenly aware of the under representation of blacks in higher education, especially in math,
science and engineering, and was
committed to providing assistance to activities geared toward
those disciplines.”

place in the world and in her own culture.
