worthy of the vocation wherein have been called so call your neighbor call your friends call your mama call your dad is to let them know that how way in hedges outreach ministry is now on the air oh yes we come today to have a wonderful time and to share what god is doing throughout the year and we thank god for his mom to full blessings that he has been stored upon us my guest today he is all the way from north carolina state university central and central recommended highly recommended and we had the platform set up for them and i'm going to ask each and every one of them to just share their experience as well as a cordon editor of the education technology program with the within the school of education which is which is ties to our being awarded this given this awar is standing among the h b c u's in starkly black institutions whereby we are going to elevate the profile of the institute to be the leader of global leader in terms of classes last evening was powerful it was glorious and it was just honorable to be recognized by the coach of the church of god in christ for the wonderful work that has been done by the cl family over all of these years and it was wonderful to hear the stories it was wonderful to connect with others who were giving so much to the community so i would say in a nutshell it was powerful it was wonderful  approximately four hundred students and all of our students that come are basically fall under for quite ceria eighty percent of the students have to be first generation or economically disadvantaged u nder represented or english as a second language and one of the reasons that i was recognized for last night was because north on the central university is one of the first four year universities to allow a high school on its campus a lot of the programs that come up they do have them on community college campuses but we are a four year campus and the students are in high school and while they are in high school before they graduate they can earn up to sixty college credit hours so they can take care of two years worth of college while they're graduating from high school and we north carolina central is very innovative and they saw a future of creating a pipeline for students especially under represented and first generation students to have a source so that they can start really looking at their academic standings as well as pursuing a college degree so i was very honored last night by the bishop to be able to receive the award well we had a wonderful time we hope to have more in the future i'm a graduate of norfolk richmond extremely active you know after i graduate from high school it was the first time that i went to african american  have an opportunity to sit down and listen to them and they brought so much wisdom inspiration to me and i guess that's why i have this passion for celebrating black history achievement awards know well that experience have definitely enhanced my life and very proud of that now there are some issues that have i'm not really taking advantage of the opportunity i want to share those opportunities and why that is happening i am glad to to to on federal and state funding but that funding as dwindling in last the twenty plus years so we are there we are now starting to understand how to leverage the on government only so how do you develop revenue by the what we produce that's why embracing it for example in the research on clinical research trial  not been engaged in those kind of research and research and development now we are engaged in the sincere is going to lead on that and also collaborating with other h b c u's we have about eight already online to call in collaboration to leverage stem to to esteem in other words leverage the sciences we have not done a good job in preparing the students who come to because if you're math you know math or you need to do is learn how to teach math don't get paid enough but if you have a biologist who is teaching biology and also teaching all of the sciences coming to the picture come under education that is where it should be shoes and cross road to and that is another area also where by h b c use of not being able to leverage the the into cultural and cross cultural aspects of african institutions and african american  a that's a new place where that's where we're headed to the right right well that's interesting but that's fascinating i met the first international student yeah i met them at norfolk state university in the us and i mean after seeing them but i met me and now you tell me they're going to be those international students and those coming from here will also be running that type  whereby we can leverage the global economy global economies not what disappears not international is when you can access the global potential to local yes and so it's no longer think see how he's going to be tonight i want to segue with into your initial question because my perspective is a little bit different i was actually born at the institution so i grew up there and in the n c c and over the decades i went there to college and changed everything digitally is the whip it e commerce at one time you had to go through small distribution networks say to get a book out or even do what we're doing today but now the opportunity is there to do dynamic things all that you have to do is have the innovation and the will to do it and so what that is done is this metrically changed everything the playing field has become level and so now we have to do a better job of marketing our own story talking about innovation a teaching a young child to be able to learn how to heal themselves because that's where technology is heading we need to leverage a she has and that's how she reached out and that's why you see there's no  they can see that's why i jumped on on the opportunity and i say yes dr lolly we are with you because we see the solution she brings solution we've been in university for two or eight hundred years they've been gospel yes yes at the conference yesterday we had innovators everybody was there help had a unique really unique technology yes and so as you know you evaluate or of technology what was your take on it was extraordinarily powerful and whenever i sit in something like that my mathematical numbers start going off from here and i start seeing different ways in which we can evaluate scales and metrics that will bring together the point of the mathematics is not to make it overly difficult it's so that my child can understand it and through that they can open up new doors a new ways of looking at things and so as an evaluator i began to look at the tools and the things that were going on i've been going to say how can we measure this what are the metrics that don't exist so that this school teacher or this person can see these metrics share them with children and they don't want to get involved in that everyone knows someone who is dealing with those particular issues but the great thing to hear that conference was you're not the only one in the glass circle ceiling that's dealing with less reach out let's come together and my job is to tie the persons in law enforcement with the persons in education with the persons who are technologists so how all of that have not even using their tax dollars to solve the solution the solutions are there but political process has not been able to enable that even because it had been labeled for l for supporting and sponsoring the event and they did a wonderful job and again we like to thank everyone expose what's going on in the community so my prayer for you today that eternal purpose will be manifested in your own life as you continue to walk where the
