Although I served as a research mentor to a few students this semester, the majority of my service came in other forms. I attempted to be a well-rounded scholar by engaging in national, university, community, college, and departmental levels of service. For instance, I serve as a reviewer for the Journal of Negro Education, which is national service to the fields of education and psychology. At the university level, I am a member of the Travel subcommittee for the Professional Development Committee (PDC). This is the end of my PDC term; however, I consistently advocated for my department and encouraged psychology faculty to apply for PDC funds. As a result, seven out of nine psychology faculty members received/will receive travel, research,

These committees resulted in multiple on-campus meetings in Coltrane Hall and at the Anderson Center. Finally, my departmental level service consists of three main components. First, I serve as the main departmental representative to the PDC committee. Second, I was a member of the Department of Psychological Sciences’ search committee. Third, I serve as the primary advisor for our chapter of Psi Chi. Each of these departmental service commitments resulted in multiple meetings, document reviews, and planning. However, I believe my role as Psi Chi advisor has been the most rewarding. While planning for the Psi Chi Induction ceremony, where we inducted 15 scholars, I also planned to honor our graduating seniors with awards for service, academics, research, and most improved scholar. This took a lot of strategic planning as faculty members had to vote for students to receive these awards. The voting was done electronically via Google Forms, which was not only convenient, but allowed faculty members to vote privately.

In addition, by serving students as a mentor and as Psi Chi advisor, I am able to help foster their identities and reward them for their exceptional practices. Next year, I hope to focus my service activities on the FYE planning committee and Psi Chi. In addition, I will continue to review for the Journal of Negro Education and my involvement with SQIP. Finally, I attended all departmental faculty meetings and events, including our Psi Chi induction ceremony and all Psi Chi events, Scholarship Day Symposium, all Psychology Colloquia, the Majors’ Meeting and one or two Psychology Club events. At the University level, I attended the scholarship day poster session, Founders’ Day, and several general faculty meetings. I plan to continue to attend these events during my time at Winston-Salem State
