Syracuse University has Scholarships in Architecture for Black Students
|
Syracuse University has 10 Full Ride Scholarships for African American Men and Women Interested in Studying Architecture |
|
Mark Robbins, Dean of Syracuse University's School of Architecture is desperately seeking young men and women of color interested in pursuing a five year professional degree in Architecture. He says he's deeply committed to bringing diversity to his field and has scholarship money set aside to fully cover educational costs for 10 students. Hispanic enrollment in the school has increased substantially, but it's been harder to attract Black students. These scholarships will be awarded based on academic criteria and portfolio submission. Syracuse University's School of Architecture has a great reputation. This is a terrific opportunity! It is best to email archug@syr.edu for more information. However, you might contact Mark Robbins, Dean, School of Architecture at 315.443.2255 or email him at robbinsm@syr.edu | |

PROSTITUTION IS GROWING IN WASHINGTON PARK!
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS FASTLY GROWING INTO THE MOST MAJOR PROSTITUTION AREA IN THE CITY
There is a correlation between prostitution and drug possession and sell, theft, robbery and even murder. Our safety is at stake!
Did you know that other communities initiated a prolonged campaign to reduce prostitution in their neighborhood, and as a consequence, prostitution in the Roseland area was reduced to one-third of its former level, and that a substantial number of these women have moved their operation to the Washington Park neighborhood ????
DID YOU KNOW THAT East 50th Street between Indiana Avenue and Champaign Avenue is one of the three primary areas for prostitution??????
JULY 4TH IS THE BUSIEST WEEKEND FOR PROSTITUION AND UNLESS WE ARE VIGILANT IN CALLING THE POLICE AND REPORTING THIS ACTIVITY OUR COMMUNITY WILL BE UNDER SIEGE
PROSTITUTES NEED CUSTOMERS TO FIND THEM AND WILL INCREASE THEIR CONCENTRATION IN OUR AREA, CONSEQUENTLY ALL FEMALES IN THE AREA, YOUR WIFE, DAUGHTER, NIECES AND FRIENDS, ARE AT RISK FOR SOLICITATION.
Statistics show that a prostitute is arrested only once for every 425 tricks that she turns
Please call 911 when you see any suspicious activity! Also PLEASE CONTACT Genessa Lewis, Commander of the 2nd District Today and let her know that we want this growing problem addressed, and made a priority. Call her at 312 747 8366 Fax No. 312 747 5396 or E-mail Caps002District@Chicagopolice.org
