Additionally we attended a brief on ECSU’s new Pharmacy School, and have met with Dr. Geofrey Mills, Dean School of Business on opportunities for collaboration. • ECSU ranked #11 among HBCU’s by US News and World Report 2010 Best Colleges. • 4 August 2009: We gave ECSU a free booth at our Coast Guard Day celebration attended by over 3K guests this year. Great opportunity to expose our workforce to our hometown school. FOCUS AREAS – ISSUES Our focus to date has been on building a relationship with ECSU that is both collegial and collaborative. It is clear that Coast Guard and ECSU have much to gain by forming partnership where possible.

FOCUS AREAS – ISSUES • RADM Hewitt is the current Flag Sponsor for NSU. • Currently there are 00 active CSPI student assigned to the NSU. This will no doubt change due to the exposure from the CG/NSU partnership. CGRC (LT Carson) has planned some outreach events on campus in the near future that will generate leads for recruiting. FS1 Haggins of RO Chesapeake has good rapport with staff on campus and is doing an excellent job at the local career fairs.

  13. Texas Southern UniversityCDR Adrian L. West,9/24/2009 Report FUTURE OPERATIONS / ENGAGEMENT CURRENT OPERATIONS • 29 Oct: Texas Southern University Career Fair • Delivery of Coast Guard Pamphlets and material for student information. • At a date TBD, plan to engage the Port of Houston Authority to look for opportunities for Coast Guard involvement in the development of the course curriculum or instruction for the university’s Maritime Transportation Management and Security program. Vision of opportunities include CG billet assignment to TSU as an instructor at no cost to TSU, CG internships for students of this discipline, Summer Work-study program at CG Sector for students for course credit. • http://www.tsu.edu/pages/10.asp?item=6784 • 22 Sep: We are beginning a working relationship with Texas Southern University. LTJG Quinton DuBose and I visited the university’s Office of Cooperative Education and Placement Services. They were very receptive and accommodating to the point of inviting us back to participate in their upcoming Career Fair at no cost. The Director of the Cooperative Education and Placement Services has offered to place CSPI and other Coast Guard program information on the University’s Facebook site and place Coast Guard information in the office spaces. • We have also been made aware of a new degree program in Maritime Transportation Management and Security that will be introduced on campus in 2011. This is the result of a partnership between the university and the Port of Houston Authority. They say there may be opportunities for Coast Guard personnel to serve as guest instructors and lecturers. FOCUS AREAS – ISSUES • Currently there is only 1 active CSPI student assigned to the local Houston Recruiting Office. This student is from Stephen F. Austin University which is 3 ½ hours away from Houston. Prior to LTJG DuBose’s and my visit to the TSU campus, the Coast Guard had zero visibility amongst the student population. We were approached by curious students and asked questions about missions, scholarships, and employment opportunities. This says that this student body is open to military service and is interested in jobs concerning Maritime missions and security.

Some of the options are listed below: • Speaking at the monthly Department Meetings and the Student Government or Class meetings • Including information on the monthly XU bulletin • Outside agencies are allowed to set up informational booths/table every Tuesday and Thursday in the University Center FOCUS AREAS – ISSUES Our focus is to continue to build a relationship with the administrators, staff members, and students at Xavier University. We are also brainstorming the different ways that we will reach out to the students. XU has a outstanding Pharmacy program and is #1 in placing African American students into medical school. With that being said, it will be a challenge to recruit at the university because a majority of the students are biology and pharmacy majors. They may not be able to see how the CG will align with their educational and career goals.

  15. Delaware State UniversityLCDR Richard HowellLT Evelynn Samms,9/18/2009 Report FUTURE OPERATIONS / ENGAGEMENT CURRENT OPERATIONS • 01 Oct: Military Mini Career Fair – LCDR Rick Howell, LT Evelynn Samms, and a local recruiter (possibly from the Philly office) • 10 Oct: Parents Day – LCDR Rick Howell, LT Evelynn Samms (tentative) • 22 - 24 Oct: Homecoming and Career Fair.

On 24Oct (Homecoming festivities), we are proposing to have an information booth set up in the student center or near the stadium talking to prospective candidates and their parents. We will request a recruiter to attend for specific questions. • Partners Program: • In talks with the School of Airway Science to spread the word on CSPI, direct commission aviation and the BLUE21 program. http://www.desu.edu/som/airway_science/ • The Airway Science Program provides students with quality education and experience in preparation for careers in the aviation industry.

The link is: • https://desu-csm.symplicity.com/emplopyers/ • CSPI Info Session: • Currently there are no Officer Trainees on the campus. FOCUS AREAS – ISSUES • Proximity of the nearest recruiting Office. In the past the Dover recruiting office was the main hub for the Officer Trainees. However that office has since closed and the nearest is located in Philadelphia (Over 60 miles away). • The career fair on the 22 has a registration fee of 200.00.
