In addition, I have presented research findings at conferences throughout the United States and abroad. Heavy involvement of the nature as previously identified has also assisted in my directing graduate degree programs at both the masters and doctoral levels. In 1997, I was recognized by the Branch Campus of Peking University as one of their visiting scholars. My experiences also include the initiating of joint programs, collaborative agreements and interdisciplinary courses and programs. Collaborative programs with foreign institutions, interdisciplinary programs such as arts management, sports administration and multicultural studies are representative of the nature of my experiences.
Several programs cross colleges and departments.
I have also been active over the past decade in the area of fundraising. My involvement has included funding via grant agencies, in kind giving programs, special event activities, corporate support, federal support and individual giving. My involvement in this area has included the formation of the Community Arts School at Virginia State University, involvement in instruction via distance learning and the Internet, involvement in the Rowan County Alternative scheduling, program, organizing film festivals for public schools, and the hosting of seminars, workshops, fine arts activities and conferences which support faculty, staff, and student development. Again, I feel that I possess the skills, attitude and understanding which would contribute to my success in this position. I would appreciate you giving my application full consideration.
