LCNAA: What advice would you give to the students on the LC campus today?
Dr. Oglesby: I would tell them to study hard, make the best grades you are capable of making, have fun, make a lot of friends, and enjoy the experience and have a deep faith in GOD.

| Dr. James Gray on Mentoring . . . |
|
|
| Dr. Gray presents at the LCNAA Retreat |
Note: A proposal was presented at the recent LCNAA Retreat to mentor LC students and received positive feedback. Here are some thoughts on mentoring, its importance, and why a partnership with Livingstone College is desired.
Name: James L. Gray
Class Year:1966
Major: Sociology
Additional Education: MSW (WVU), MBA UDC; Ed. D. (Morgan State).
Career/Occupation: Health Planning Officer and Grants Administrator
LCNAA: Why are you passionate about mentoring?
Gray: Mentoring provides me a way to advocate for young African-Americans. As an "awakener" I am passionate about mentoring because it provides an outlet to deliver precious advice and support to young people of color who are too often like lost balls in tall weeds. It's a joy to see them grow wings and fly. Moreover, mentoring allows me to support the J. C. Price legacy by helping young African-American youth to experience a rewarding college experience and become future leaders in the emerging global economic community.
LCNAA: What is mentoring and what does look like?
Gray: Mentoring is a both an empowerment tool and process performed to help students and other individuals to develop and achieve a particular goal, develop their careers, or to enhance academic performance. Mentoring is a partnership between a mentor and mentee who share similar experiences or who are in the same field of work. Apart from personal development, it is about relationship building. Mentoring looks like an intervention in a student's life that increases one's educational and career success, and connects students to critical resources.
LCNAA: In what ways can alumni mentor LC students?
Gray: I would like to see alumni offer LC students mentoring on two fronts. First, students need advice and guidance on how to use the college experience to build requisite skill sets and core competences to become competitive in the uncertain and ever-changing job market. Second, students need mentoring on how plan, organize, and implement an effective job search campaign.
LCNAA: Suggestions for implementing a mentoring program at Livingstone College.
Gray: I would recommend that the Association initiate a pilot program of the proposals that I presented at the retreat. It was indicated that in addition to the favorable feedback from Dr. Jenkins on the integrated mentoring proposal, a cadre of LCNAA representatives have approached him regarding a mentoring project. Let's move that conversation forward. Our strategy will be to convince Dr. Jenkins that an infused student mentoring and advocacy program is a way to take the College to the next level. A robust mentoring program can propel the College to the cutting edge of 21st century education.
