Presentation by Dr. Patrick Spearman Dr. James Pusch has invited BFSA to be present for Dr. Patrick Spearman's presentation. We need to show our presents, in such processes, to help the University and BFSA accomplish our objective of hiring minority candidates. Also, let's not restrict ourselves to just minority candidates but embrace all candidates on behalf of BFSA by being present when they visit our campus. I'm sure Dr. Spearman along with other candidates would feel comforted in being able to identify with the audience. Therefore, let's do our part by extending a welcoming hand to these worth candidates. While perusing his resume the presentation will be impacting and timely. Impacting because he has done extensive research and implemented various techniques for the education and retention of African American students in K-16.Timely, because the administration has charged BFSA to target the retention of AA males here at YSU.
