Two Wayne State University employees are taking leadership roles in the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) Sorority national conference in Detroit July 12-16.
AKA is America's first Greek-letter organization established by black college women. The sorority cultivates and encourages high scholastic and ethical standards; promotes unity and friendship among college women; alleviates problems concerning girls and women; maintains a progressive interest in college life; and serves all mankind through a nucleus of more than 170,000 women in the United States, the Caribbean, Europe and Africa. About 10,000 participants are expected at the conference at Cobo Conference/Exhibition Center. Some participants are staying in Wayne State’s residence halls.
Janice W. Green, assistant dean, College of Education, is chair of the conference Protocol Committee. The committee is responsible for ensuring that protocol is maintained throughout the convention for all programs and rituals.
Jan Collins-Eaglin, director of Wayne State's Counseling and Psychological Services, Academic Success Center and Educational Accessibility Services, is overseeing the mental health awareness model for peoples of African descent. The model will increase awareness of such issues and incorporate educational workshops in all the chapters.
Other AKA members who are affiliated with Wayne State include Jacquelin E. Washington, chair of Wayne State's Board of Governors; and Duryea Callaway and Deborah Tucker, librarians, University Library System. In addition, the general chair of the conference, Schylbea Hopkins, is an alumna of Wayne State University. At the conference, Schylbea will be installed as the next regional director.

Just got back from Detroit
 
And I can't wait for '08. I am exhausted and can't really type straight right now, but suffice it to say that Boule was a great experience.

80 years of service is something that the rest of us can only dream of! And she probably has many more ahead. Working hard for AKA at 100 years of age is TRULY a blessing! I am proud EVERYDAY that I am able to be a member of this great Sorority with so many wonderful and inspirational women!
Oh, I'm already emotional because finals are less than 16 hours away and I'm about to cry about this article! Don't pay me any mind, y'all! LOL!
