for Wednesday, August 8, 2007
Elvira M. White, Fayetteville State University Criminal Justice assistant
professor, was conferred a PhD in juvenile justice on Saturday, August 4, 2007
from Prairie View A&M University, College of Juvenile Justice & Psychology,
Prairie View, Texas. Prairie View offers the only PhD in juvenile justice in the
nation; therefore, Dr. White is the first and only person currently holding
these joint degrees. Her dissertation was entitled, The Ethical and
Theoretical Orientation of a Modern Day Juvenile Justice Sentencing Commission:
The Case of North Carolina.
Dr. White, a native of
Princess Anne, Maryland, earned a bachelor’s degree (magna cum laude) in three
years from North Carolina A&T State University in political science in 1973.
She graduated with a master’s degree in public administration from the
University of Maryland, College Park in 1975. Her juris doctorate was
awarded in 1978 from the University Of Maryland School Of Law. Dr. White
has been a faculty member at FSU since fall 2006. Prior to FSU, Dr. White
practiced law for almost twenty years, taught full time and part-time for the
University of Maryland, Grambling State University, Wiley College and Prairie
View A&M University. She also wrote grants and is the author of book
chapters and other feature articles.
Dr. White is the daughter of the late Olden and Edrena White and the mother of
two adult sons, Andre and BJ. She has 6 grandchildren. For 19 years,
after the death of her father, Dr. White cared for her mother who was diagnosed
with Alzheimer’s disease. Her mother succumbed to her illness and passed
away two days prior to Dr. White’s last semester of doctoral work. She
hopes to inspire those young and old alike to believe that no goal is impossible
and that with faith and strong Christian beliefs, the sky is the limit.
Lastly, she believes that humility must be a part of anyone’s life because
achievement is a team effort.

Ms. Helen Johnson of
the housekeeping/ facilities department has been approved to receive donations
under the shared leave program. The intent of the program is to give leave
earning employees an opportunity to assist others during prolonged illnesses.
Ms. Helen’s illness has caused her to exhaust all of her available leave,
resulting in a loss of income.
As stated in the policy, non-family members may donate vacation or bonus leave
only. If you wish to assist her, please email Ms. Theressa Graham (tgraham1@uncfsu.edu)
indicating the number of hours you wish to donate. You may also visit the
Human Resources Office, W.R. Collins Administration Wing room 220, no later than
August 17, 2007, to complete the necessary form. The minimum allowable
donation is four (4) hours. Be further aware that the maximum amount of
vacation leave allowed to be donated by an employee can be no more than the
annual amounts that can be accrued by the donating employee, provided that such
donation does not reduce the donating employee’s leave balance below one-half of
the amount accrued annually.
