Southeastern historian recognized by LEH for individual achievement
Charles Elliott, an instructor of history, has been selected by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities (LEH) as the recipient of the 2012 Individual Achievement Award.
Elliott has a long involvement in the LEH’s Readings and Literature and Culture (RELIC), a special adult reading program that partners with local libraries. Since 2002, he has led 15 programs in libraries in Baton Rouge, Clinton, Gonzales, Napoleonville, New Roads, Slidell, and St. Francisville.
“Charles Elliott has demonstrated the highest standards of professional dedication to the preparation and implementation of the RELIC programs,” said Jim Segreto, RELIC director, “enabling the LEH to maintain consistently its standards for intellectually stimulating programs that are equally appealing to the adult reading population of Louisiana.”
Elliott said he is proud to be involved with the LEH programs.
“I am very happy to be a part of the LEH, where we can bring heritage discussions into local communities,” he said. “There is a treasure trove of knowledge and enthusiasm out there, which I am honored to taste through various RELIC programs.”
“Charles Elliott richly deserves the LEH Individual Achievement Award,” said History and Political Science Department Head William Robison. “He is one of Louisiana’s greatest natural resources. His regular classes on Louisiana history and the American frontier, his supervision of Southeastern social studies education majors, his work with graduate students, his public lectures, and, of course, his extensive work for LEH, make him a most worthy recipient of this award.”
Robison also praised Elliott’s lengthy participation in Teaching American History Grant programs for area secondary school teachers, television courses and numerous publications.
Elliott will be officially recognized at the annual LEH Humanities Awards Event on March 31 at Houmas House Plantation.

Southeastern to host Leadership Conference March 3
Southeastern will host more than 200 students from colleges and universities across the South on Saturday, March 3, at the seventh annual Southeastern Leadership Conference.
The conference is hosted by the Office for Student Engagement and offers 12 educational sessions for college student leaders.
The conference keynote address will be presented by Chad Crittenden, a former contestant on the reality television show “Survivor,” and an actual cancer survivor.
“Chad Crittenden knows a thing or two about beating the odds. He has overcome many different challenges in his life with optimism, confidence and courage,” said Cherie’ Kay Thriffiley, director of Student Engagement. “Chad speaks to college students across the country, and he will share his story from surgery to ‘Survivor,’ and the ways his philosophy can help us all succeed in life.”
Other conference topics include: service leadership, emotional intelligence and creative problem solving.
“The Southeastern Leadership Conference is a great way for students to further develop their leadership potential,” said Thriffiley. “The educational sessions we provide include a variety of topics and issues that college students are facing today. Our hope is students will leave the Southeastern Leadership Conference with a renewed excitement for leadership that they can bring back to their campus and share with others.”
Although the conference is open to all college students, Southeastern students can attend at a special registration price of $25. Regular registration is $45 per person and includes a breakfast, lunch, a reception, conference t-shirt and materials.
Faculty, staff, students and community members are encouraged to submit a proposal if interested in presenting an educational session to conference participants.
Registration materials and call for proposals can be accessed online at www.selu.edu/slc.
For more information, contact Thriffiley at 549-2120 or e-mail slc@selu.edu.

Social work program reaccredited
The social work program at Southeastern has been reaccredited by the Council on Social
Work Education’s Commission on Accreditation.
The eight-year accreditation is the maximum duration granted by the CSWE, which
is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as the accrediting
agency for social work education in the nation.
Southeastern offers a baccalaureate social work program, which has been accredited
continuously since 1982.
National accreditation is considered an important endorsement of an academic
program, and represents an independent, outside evaluation of the program’s quality
and its relevance to the workforce needs of the area, said John C. Fischetti, dean
of the College of Education and Human Development, which oversees the social work
program.
“Southeastern’s social work program is one of the finest in the region and in
the country, and this accreditation is validation of the great work of our faculty
and students and the potential of the program to impact children and families,” he
added.
The accreditation process involved a comprehensive self study to document the
program’s compliance with established standards and policies, a site visit in October
by representatives of the agency, and a full review by the Commission on Accreditation,
said June Williams, head of the Department of Counseling and Human Development.
Southeastern’s social work program focuses on preparing entry level practitioners
to work with diverse populations in rural and small communities, Williams said. In
addition to course work, students must also complete a field internship at a social
service agency. Most graduates of the Southeastern program continue to pursue a Masters
of Social Work degree at other institutions.

Universities from eight states participated in the annual conference and competition.
“SEJC is a gathering of colleges and their students from across the southeast
portion of the country. Once a year students are awarded for excellence in college
journalism and onsite competitions,” said Amber Narro, assistant professor in the
Department of Languages and Communication.
The conference included breakout sessions with respected media experts, and several
keynote speakers. The sessions included advice and presentations from media experts
on topics such as editing, psychology in reporting, covering crisis, breaking news,
sports-writing, radio and communication management.
Students in radio, television, public relations and photography competitions
were given a crisis situation to handle in the form of a mock earthquake, Narro said.
Students were challenged to take a press conference situation as seriously as if the
event were occurring and report on it accordingly.
According to Narro, Southeastern students enjoyed the overall experience and
are already expressing interest in returning.
