“A Mind is a Terrible
Thing to Waste.”
It is an advocacy campaign to solicit donations for United
Negro College Fund (UNCF) so they can send minority students to college. It is
indeed sad when minority students are unable to attend college because of cost.
We all value our brain/minds; and when we do not help to send minority students
to college, their talents or gifts are lost.

Teach Well. Explore
Solutions. Develop Expertise…Change Lives
There was an advertisement for a university
graduate/doctoral program that was on Council for Exceptional Children website.
I like it, and thought that the teacher/advocate in this class would appreciate
the message. This message promotes the idea that to change children’s lives,
you would need to learn to teach well, willing to explore solutions, and thus
develop expertise.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste; I haven't seen that message in such a long time; I need to use it more in my work life. Great post.

Marla,
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate to receive many scholarship opportunities throughout my Undergraduate journey through the UNCF Fund because I attended a HBCU ( Historically Black College/University). The first executive director, William Trent was coined in supporting
historically black colleges so they could become “strong citadels of learning, carriers of the American dream, seedbeds of social evolution and revolution". All children and youth need someone to assist along the way toward making them great.
