FSU Students Charter First WEBD Student Organization

Joshua Bloodworth, Aaron Lewis, and Ms. Devin Sturdavant- Advisor.


In an effort to create partnerships among faculty, career services, and corporations, Fayetteville State University (FSU) students have chartered the campus’s first Working to Educate Build & Develop (WEBD) organization.  The program is also designed to enhance the knowledge, skills, and abilities of minority students while addressing diversity initiatives.


The Office of Career Services has been working with WEBD for the past two years to bring executives to campus for resume critiques and mock interviews as well as to provide students with opportunities for Shadowing, Internships, and attendance at Leadership Conferences.  Professionals at companies such as Ernst & Young, Bank of America, Deloitte, and ACN have come together to provide professional development opportunities for students.


WEBD student participants have stated “WEBD program has given me an opportunity to step into the corporate world, observe, and realize that education and determination effortlessly defeat any type of judgments and background preferences.”
Another student stated, “The WEBD program was an excellent experience for me.  Since being involved I met a lot of outstanding people that are very willing to help you in any way possible.”

In WEBD’s second year at FSU, Steve Clincy, the organization’s co-founder, asked participating students if they would be interested in helping create the first WEBD student chapter.  WEBD Campus Ambassador Jason Redinbo stepped up to the challenge and enlisted the help of two other students, Patrick Tedder and Jared James.  The students worked with Clincy and staff advisors Devin Sturdavant and Latosha Williams to submit the application and proper documentation for starting a campus organization.

The first student chapter of WEBD was officially approved as a registered FSU student organization on April 19, 2012 and the inaugural FSU chapter was recognized at WEBD’s annual Shadow Day event in Charlotte on April 23, 2012.  Several students have joined the FSU chapter of WEBD.  For more information, visit  http://www.uncfsu.edu/careerserv/ or call (910) 672-1100.

FSU is the second-oldest public institution in North Carolina. A member of the University of North Carolina System, FSU has nearly 6,000 students and offers degrees in more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

Which One Would You Choose???

To me, this does not look like a safe place to be riding around in balloons. There are pokey rocks all over the place.


















Now, this looks like it would be safe!!!!

NO!!!!!!!!! My Eyes are Bleeding!!!

No shirt, no pants, no problem at Vegas nudist convention

The most stressful part of traveling can be deciding what to pack and coordinating all those outfits, accessories, belts and ties. Here's a simple solution: the Nudist Clubhouse Nudist Expo 2012, a two-day convention in Las Vegas (of course) that highlights all-nude resorts and naked-vacation (or "nakation") packages. Visitors to the expo can drop trou after dark at clothing-optional pool parties and grill outs (although we hope they at least wear aprons while they're barbecuing). One unnamed Vegas hotel will even let expo participants ignore its regular "no shirt, no shoes, no service" policy and cruise around naked. Beats trying to cram a weekend's worth of clothing into a carry-on.

Flip-Floppin Weather!!!!

I absolutely cannot believe the weather we have been having!!!!! Today marked the second day of flip-flop wearing. The temp at lunch time was 75!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't recall ever breaking out the flippies this early. LOVING IT!!!!! Usually once I start with the flip-flop syndrome I can't stop. That worries me if we still have a snow storm in our forecast!!!!!

American Heart Association - Heart Walk 2012

My brother-in-law Joel is a very involved person in the American Heart Association. That's because the research that has been done, through donations, helped to save his life. He is trying to raise at least $4000.00  for this year's Heart Walk. If you could please go to this link

http://lafayetteheartwalk.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1001449&supid=309991789

and give whatever amount you can give, our family would greatly appreciate it.  Joel was named the 2011 Lifestyle Change Award winner at last year's Heart Walk and is the Chair of the 2012 Lafayette Heart Walk this year!

Our family is so thankful that he is here to do the great work that he is doing.

Here is a video that was done by our local news station, WLFI.
