Dr. David Wilson is the twelfth president and the tenth full-term president of Morgan State University. Appointed to the presidency on July 1, 2010, he brings to the University a background of extensive experience, a wealth of skills, a long trail of accomplishments as educational leader and an exceptional appreciation for, and strong devotion to, Morgan’s educational tradition.
President Wilson holds the bachelor’s degree in political science and the master’s degree in student personnel administration from Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) and both the master’s degree in educational planning and administration and the doctorate in administration, planning and social policy from Harvard University.
He joins the Morgan community after more than thirty years of experience in higher education at Tuskegee Institute, Radcliff College, Kentucky State University, Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey, Auburn University and the University of Wisconsin, as well as at the Research and Development Institute of Philadelphia, Massachusetts General Hospital and the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.
In addition to teaching for a number of years at Rutgers, Dr. Wilson has gained administrative experience and established a record of effective administration in a variety of positions: Assistant to the Associate Dean of Students, Project Director, Research Associate, Director of Minority Programs, Assistant and Associate Provost and Vice President for University Outreach. Most recently, Dr. Wilson served as Chancellor for the University of Wisconsin Colleges and the University of Wisconsin- Extension.
In addition to establishing a record as an educational leader, Dr. Wilson has also accumulated a significant profile as scholar and authority on issues in higher education. He has authored more than twenty scholarly articles on successful university-community partnerships, the challenges facing African-Americans in the 21″ century, social and economic inequality, diversity and tolerance in higher education, federal aid to local education systems, athletes as role models, the effects of racial stereotypes on African-American men, and desegregation in higher education; and he has coauthored two books on higher education: Opening the American Mind: Race, Ethnicity and Gender in Higher Education (with G. Sill and M. Chaplin 1993) and University Outreach: University Connections to Society (with R. Foster 2000).
A world traveler who has visited or served as educational consultant in Europe and over twenty countries around the world-including China, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Egypt, Namibia, Kenya, Zambia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan-as well as the Caribbean, David Wilson has also served on accreditation review boards for many American and international universities and as consultant to the United Negro College Fund, Ayers & Associates and Lucent Technologies. He has also served on the boards of civic, cultural, community and philanthropic organizations across the nation. The winner of numerous awards-including the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation Administrative Fellowship, the Salzburg Seminar Fellowship, the Kellogg Foundation National Fellowship, and the “America’s Best and Brightest Young Business and Professional Men” Award of Dollars and Sense magazine-David Wilson was recognized in 1998 as one of the nation’s top 100 leaders in higher education.
In February 2010, President Barack Obama appointed him to his l l-member Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Dr. Wilson’s qualifications to lead Maryland’s Public Urban University are clearly outstanding, but it is the special character that he brings to higher education in Maryland, a character shaped by the intangibles of his background, that is perhaps most impressive and makes him suitable for this new role. Dr. Wilson grew up with nine siblings on a sharecropper farm outside the small town of McKinley, Alabama. Through hard work, tenacity and the encouragement of his father and his teachers, he became the first person in his family to attend college.
Therefore, he comes to Morgan with a special sensitivity for students from similar backgrounds and an appreciation of the challenges that many urban and minority students face as they pursue a college degree. He brings to Morgan the strong educational philosophy always to put the students’ experience first and an equally strong commitment, as a leader, to be a consensus builder and a strong advocate of administrative transparency.
His goal is to make Morgan a leader in producing the next wave of innovators in the U.S. and to create at Morgan an atmosphere where “people don’t see what they do as a job” but rather as “a calling.” The theme of his leadership of Morgan is “Growing the Future, Leading the World.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Ed Mullins, 205-246-3334
In a playful comment that drew enthusiastic applause and could signal future directions in academic research, a leading scholar told community partners and University of Alabama faculty, staff and students here Friday, May 1, 2009, that "publish or perish" may one day give way to "partner or perish."
Speaking to a crowd of about 200 at the Center for Community-Based Partnerships' third annual engagement scholarship awards luncheon, Dr. Hiram E. Fitzgerald of Michigan State University outlined forces pushing universities toward more active engagement with society.
This more active relationship, Fitzgerald said, "has generated a fresh vision about the democratic purposes of higher education and how universities contribute to the public good."
Quoting Alfred North Whitehead that " "¦ shielding a university from "¦ the world "¦ is the best way to chill interest and defeat progress" and that "unapplied knowledge is shorn of its meaning," Fitzgerald said the time has come for higher education to form partnerships that directly address society's most critical problems.
Although it could be said that the associate provost for University Outreach and Engagement at Michigan State University was preaching to the choir, the Hotel Capstone crowd gave him sustained applause when he concluded with the "partner or perish" observation, which he attributed to Dr. Barbara A. Holland, director of the National Service Learning Clearinghouse.
Following Fitzgerald's speech, Vice President of Community Affairs Samory T. Pruitt, who is also executive director of CCBP, began the awards ceremony by calling Fitzgerald back to the podium to honor him with the "Distinguished Special Achievement in Engagement" award. In doing so he recognized Fitzgerald's leadership as president of the National Outreach Scholarship Conference and leadership in a dozen other groups as well as for his hundreds of research papers, articles and books, and millions of dollars in research projects, much of it on behalf of infants and children.
Assistant Provost Janet Griffith presided over the awards ceremony, which recognized the best from campus and community for 2009. She was assisted in distributing the awards by Dr. Judy Bonner, executive vice president and provost, and Dr. Joe Benson, vice president for research.
Here are the winners:
CATEORY: Outstanding Faculty/Staff-Initiated Engagement Effort
The Creative Writing Club (CWC) was formed in 2004 by Prof. Behn as an outreach project of the M.F.A. in the Creative Writing Program. MFA students serve as mentors to Tuscaloosa area high school students and celebrate their creative writing achievements via public readings and publications. CWC demonstrates to the community the riches that result when top-notch graduate student writers interact with motivated young writers. Thanks to external grant funding, the program has grown to include 15 high schools, a summer Creative Writing Camp and a new course to train Alabama high school teachers in teaching creative writing. A high school textbook is being developed to capture the original creative writing lessons of Prof. Behn and her students.
This partnership between the School of Library and Information Studies and the Tuscaloosa Public Library provides 21st century information technology literacy training to senior citizens. Funded by a seed grant from the CCBP, the project allowed students to deliver information literacy skills to a population outside the library in partnership with community agencies. The program was evaluated at two levels: goals-based evaluation and instructional-based evaluation and is summarized in the paper, "Deconstructing Walls: Educating Students for Civic Librarianship."
A team-based wellness program emphasizing five health challenges:
"¢Eat five fruits and vegetables
"¢Drink five glasses of water
"¢Think five positive thoughts
"¢Move for 30 minutes five days a week.
"¢Lose five pounds per person
Launched by UA's Office of Health Promotion and Wellness in 2007 and repeated annually, the program originated as a campus-wide effort for the University community but expanded in 2007 to include community partners DCH Regional Medical Center, the City of Tuscaloosa, Nucor Steel Tuscaloosa Inc., and the American Heart Association. The program is being adapted for use at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. The partnership brought together more than 850 UA employees and some 1,000 Tuscaloosa community participants and continues to be shared with potential community partners via presentations at national conferences.
Dr. Parker led a UA interdisciplinary team in partnership with the Tuscaloosa Senior Ministry Association to foster collaboration among 10 community faith-based organizations to address gaps in services to senior adults and to promote greater use of existing local, state and national resources. Students worked with the group in interviewing local service agencies and local pastors/lay leaders and developed directories of resources related to aging. They completed a phone survey of 400 local church members regarding the services. Several presentations and publications have resulted from the work. Future plans include more interdisciplinary work with similar groups to develop caregiver support programs, life review programs and home visitation/transportation programs.

Responding to the needs presented by community partners including the West Alabama Chamber of Commerce, the Literacy Council of West Alabama and Tuscaloosa Rotary Club, a 22-person student team developed a campaign to increase awareness of the literacy problems in the area and to motivate students to take action to solve the problems. They conducted research on the issue and began to shape messages and define tactics that would be used. The result was the Literacy Is The Edge campaign that employed communication channels ranging from TV public service announcements by UA football players to Facebook groups in support of the effort. The work saw the immediate creation of a new student group, LITE, and the training of 77 student volunteers as active reading tutors in the community. The LITE student group is charged with sustaining and growing these efforts working with community partners now and in the future.
Ms. Peterson led the agricultural medicine research project into a collaboration involving both white and African American farmers to address mutual health issues. She coordinated information gathering from multiple focus groups around the state endorsed by the larger African American farm community. The Agromedicine Program is an integral component of the UA Rural Health Leaders Pipeline to help "grow our own" rural Alabama doctors. This work continues and has been greatly enhanced by this project that resulted in a multi-county, diverse policy committee of farmers that guides the efforts to address agricultural health issues in Alabama, including the Black Belt.
Under the leadership of UA sophomore and Creative Campus Intern Michael Wynn, the Creative Campus Assembly addressed the need within the Tuscaloosa and University communities to recognize the abilities of artists affected by chronic illness or disabilities and to contribute to social services and support for persons with disabilities. Through a partnership with the Office of Disability Services and Very Special Artists (VSA) Arts of Alabama, the group produced its first signature event of a planned series, The Unbound Art Show. This first event is a launching point for a sustained, developing relationship with VSA Arts of Alabama for the future. The March exhibit opening event hosted about 100 students and community members statewide. Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith founded VSA Arts in 1974 as an affiliate of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
CATEGORY: Outstanding Community Partner-Initiated Engagement Effort
AERN is a community-UA partnership that provides the resources and impetus for residents in rural counties to increase homegrown prosperity through entrepreneurship.

The Tuscaloosa Parent Leadership Academy (PLA), a partnership between the University of Alabama and city and county schools, will graduate its second class at a ceremony and dinner beginning at 5:30 p.m., May 5, 2009, in the Bryant Conference Center's Rast Room.
Featured speaker will be Dr. Tommy Bice, deputy state superintendent of education for instructional services. He is responsible for curriculum and instruction, assessment and accountability, federal programs, the Alabama Reading Initiative, the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative, and several other areas.
PLA is a two-semester program that strengthens relationships among family, schools and community. Participants meet monthly. Led by University of Alabama faculty and other educators, they develop leadership skills, improve their ability to support their child at home and at school, and establish better relations among family, school and board of education.
"Parents who graduate from PLA increase their knowledge of the entire education process, from classroom instruction and discipline to outside learning. They become contributing partners with local schools and school boards in their children's learning," said Christopher H. Spencer, associate director of the Center for Community-Based Partnerships, who was chief organizer for this year's PLA.
"Many of the graduates are already active in their schools and we expect others to join them because of their new experience," said Dr. Samory T. Pruitt, vice president for Community Affairs. "Through this academy, which approximates graduate-level instruction for lay persons, they are acquiring competencies and learning strategies that will make them better parents and a valued resource in helping their children and the schools they attend meet today's challenges."
This year's class was drawn from 10 elementary schools in the city system and 10 in the county system.
The graduation ceremony is the culmination of the 2008-09 academic year's program. Special speaker Bice, who joined the Alabama Department of Education in June 2008, is expected to stress the need for progress in math and science, as well as other school reforms.
Faculty in UA's Colleges of Education and Human Environmental Sciences, and various community organizations play key roles in the PLA. Dr. Joyce Levey is superintendent of city schools, and Dr. Frank Costanza is superintendent of county schools.
