Fort Valley State University

What is graduate school like, and how can students get prepared? Fort Valley State’s Department of Behavior Sciences will be conducting a Graduate School Seminar to help answer these questions on Wednesday, Nov. 18, from noon to 2 p.m. in room 309 of the Hubbard Education Building.

The seminar will focus on graduate school for interested individuals. Students of all majors are encouraged to attend. Refreshments will be provided.

September 22,2009—Students and faculty at Gordon College and Fort Valley State University are celebrating the start of a promising partnership between the two institutions. At the first-ever “GC@ FVSU DAY” held September 11 in the C.W. Pettigrew Center, Dr. Larry Weill, president of Gordon College welcomed participants to a meet-and greet breakfast to kick off the day-long event. Weill said the partnership will boost graduation rates at both schools. His message, entitled, “Graduation Starts Today” was inscribed on blue bracelets, then presented to the students.

Otha Everett has two callings: he is a man of the cloth and an educator. Everett is pastor at Perry’s Greater Union Baptist Church, and on weekdays, he puts those special pastoral counseling skills to use at Fort Valley State University as assistant professor in Rehabilitation Counseling and Case Management.

“I enjoy working with students who will one day be quality counselors,” Everett said. “The biggest thing is to help them become successful adults. As instructors, we’re here to support students to give them what they need to be successful in this program.”
