Master of Ceremony Brother Isaac W. K. Thweatt

Brother Isaac W. K. Thweatt was

initiated into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. on

Saturday, December 8, 2001 through the Iota Alpha Chapter seated at George Mason University

(Fairfax, VA). Today, he is an active Brother in the

fraternity through Mu Lambda Chapter

(Washington, D.C.) as a student development

workshop facilitator, performer, event producer, and fundraising consultant.

As Director of Alumni Outreach at American University (Washington, D.C.),

Brother Thweatt creates, manages, and develops affinity alumni programs, alumni

benefits and services, and student-alumni initiatives including the alumni admissions

program and the university’s distinguished alumni speaker series. Prior to this position, he was Associate Director of Development for the George Mason University

School of Management.

A tireless advocate for community service, higher education, and personal

development, Brother Thweatt has volunteered in pageantry throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia local and state pageants as an executive

director, producer, choreographer, judge, and prep team volunteer specializing in

personal brand development, talent development and execution, on-stage interview,

and modeling.

Brother Thweatt stays engaged in his professional community as a strategist,

presenter, and social media volunteer for the Council for Advancement and Support

of Education (CASE, District I and II) and the Association of Fundraising

Professionals (AFP, DC Chapter and National African-American Affinity). He is a

two-time district level presenter for CASE (stellar rating) and in 2013, was acknowledged as Who's Who in Black Washington, D.C.

Thweatt is a graduate of The Catholic University of America with a master of science

in management (leadership) and George Mason University with a bachelor of music

in voice (performance). 6

Sketches

Of The Mu Lambda

Foundation’s

Community House

By Julius Brice

Chairman of

The Mu Lambda Foundation

In a recent conversation with Rod Richardson, Executive Director of Mu Lambda Foundation, he

requested that I share a historical perspective on the facilities that had been used in the past. Rod added that he had current information about our present location but had heard that the Brothers of

Alpha Phi Alpha had other locations prior to the current location. I directed Rod to some

documented research sources but at his insistence shared the following non-specific historical

memories about previous houses owned by Mu Lambda.

I first learned about Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity when I was discharged from the Army. I returned

to the United States from Japan, and became a student at South Carolina State University in 1946. I

became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in December of 1948. While a student at South

Carolina State, Dr. Belford V. Lawson, the General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at that

time, visited our campus. I was very impressed with his presentation and particularly impressed with his conversation about Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. When I relocated to Washington D.C. in

1950 I phoned Dr. Belford, who was a D.C. resident, to inquire about associating with my Alpha

Brothers in Washington.

After arriving in D.C., I became aware of a facility previously owned by the Beta Mu Lambda Corporation located on Third Street. While I am unfamiliar with the activities of that facility, I do

recall after that time a house that was located at 1800 New Hampshire Avenue NW at the corner of

“Q” Street and New Hampshire.

It’s my understanding that this house was a joint venture between the Mu Lambda Graduate Chapter and the undergraduate Chapter at Howard University. This house was used for social events,

chapter meetings and also served as a dormitory for seven or eight brothers. As time passed, lack of

adequate parking space became an increasing problem the brothers decided that the needed

renovations to resolve the parking problem were cost prohibitive and decided to sell the facility.

The purchase of our current facility in 1997, at 2405 First Street N.W. was a suggestion made by

Brother Morris Hawkins. The primary purpose of this facility is promotion of scholarship, and the

enhancement of knowledge and achievement of males of all ages. We will soon launch a “Capital

Campaign” that will enable us to take advantage of this location in the Howard University

community. We look forward to your assistance with our Capital Campaign.

Assistant Dean of

Henry Arthur Callis

Academy

Brother Arthur L. Fields

The function of education is to teach one to think

intensively and to think Critically. Intelligence plus

character-that is the goal of education.--Bro. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Bro. Arthur L. Fields currently holds a PhD from Capella University, a Masters of Social

Work degree from Howard University, and is currently enrolled as a full-time student in

Georgetown University Executive Masters in Leadership program. As an educator, he takes tremendous pride in opportunities in his professional and personal life to shape and

mold young minds through guidance and mentorship. As Deputy Chief of the Office of

Youth Engagement with District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), he is charged with

ensuring that students are treated equitably, as well as providing common sense, real

world solutions to ensure the school environment is conducive to inspiring interest in learning amongst often disenfranchised and troubled youth. As Director of Education for

Mu Lambda Chapter and Assistant Dean of the Henry Arthur Callis Academy, Dr. Fields

has helped to create and develop a program that is not only working to ensure that young

African-American males are getting accepted into higher academia, but that they graduate

within four years. These fraternal and work responsibilities afford him the opportunity to consistently use his academic background and expertise to work closely with young

adults and utilize a wealth of experience to support student development and growth from

an academic and personal standpoint.

As a native of New York, and long-term resident of Washington, D.C. he is primarily inspired by supporting students in overcoming socioeconomic challenges confronted and

endured daily by residents of inner-city communities and urban metropolitan areas. In

understanding the negative social factors and influences that permeate many urban

communities, he has embraced a role in providing youth empowerment and upliftment

through engaging adolescents and young adults on issues of financial literacy, social & civic responsibility, and personal conduct for youth development. These efforts are

propelled from a conviction in a personal responsibility to leverage his position of

leadership to support advocacy for troubled and disenfranchised youth in attaining higher

education and subscribing to values of integrity, discipline and hard work to reach

individual goals.

Henry Arthur Callis Academy

The Mu Lambda Foundation HAC Academy originated from the Mu Lambda Foundation Beautillion Program. After close to 20 years of successfully hosting the Beautillion

Program, the Mu Lambda Foundation took the lessons learned and established the Henry

Arthur Callis Academy.

Since its inception in 1995, the Mu Lambda Foundation Beautillion Program has provided weekend workshops, social experiences, mentoring, and scholarships to the more than 190

young men. One hundred percent of the participants graduated high school and over ninety

percent attended college. The Beautillion Program was conceived as a “rites of passage”

experience where young men learn critical information as they move from adolescence to

manhood.

In 2013/14, the HAC Academy started with 11 high school seniors. For six months, the

Scholars engaged in courses and structured activities that increased their capacity to be

successful during their first year of college. Academy courses and activities were designed

to improve the Scholars organization and study skills, critical thinking and problem solving ability, presentation and pubic speaking skills, and capacity to manage college life.

The 2013/14 HAC Academy components included:

1) Core Courses 2) Additional Courses

3) College Visit

4) Mentoring

5) Job Shadowing

6) Participation in Project Alpha* *Project Alpha is a national program of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

A focus and emphasis on critical thinking, decision-making, and communication (both

written and verbal) are throughout all components of the HAC Academy.

In 2014/2015, we will be adding high school juniors to the academy. In the summer of

2015, the Henry Arthur Callis Academy will a summer enrichment camp for eighth and ninth graders focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

.

Bro. Lawrence Clark,

Academy Dean, discusses goals of the

Academy and

expectations and

responsibilities of

Academy Scholars.

18

Core Courses

HAC Scholars completed a six-month curriculum that focused

on research-based information and strategies. The curriculum was designed to support HAC Scholars in their senior year and

successfully transition them into their first year of college.

Picturedabove: Bro.ArthurFields,DirectorofEducationandAssistantAcademyDean,leadsagroupdiscussiononcollege-

readinessduringanearlyAcademysession.

19

Organization and Study Skills

Scholars engaged in activities that examined and improved

their organization and study skills. Scholars were exposed to what organization and study skills will be demanded of them in college and developed a Personal Organization and Study

Skills Improvement Plan that supported their efforts to successfully complete their freshman year (and beyond).

Pictured above: Bro. Michael Gallion facilitates a discussion in the

Organization and Study Skills course.

20

Finding Your Focus - The College Major

Personal interests and goals were examined and discussed for

the purposes of choosing the best major. Their intended college majors were examined from multiple perspectives such

as:

1) personal interest 2) forecasts for demand of college graduates with their

desired major 3) undergraduate majors that will best prepare them for

professional or graduate schools (medical, law, dental,

and other graduate programs).

Discussions were facilitated highlighting the contemporary and future value of majoring in science, technology,

engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.

University alumni association representatives provided scholars

information. Pictured: Calvin Ruffin of the Hampton University

Alumni Association.

21

Financing College

A focus on a deeper understanding of financing college and making sound financial decisions were presented to both Scholars and parents. Upon completion of this course, our

scholars examined their top college choices and had a prepared plan that described the financial resources they will draw on to

manage college expenses.

Pictured above: Scholars and parents engaged in college selection and

financing discussions.

22

Presentation and Public Speaking

This course provided instruction and experience in preparation and

delivery of speeches within a public setting and group discussion. Emphasis was on research, preparation, delivery, and evaluation of

informative, persuasive, and special occasion public speaking. Upon completion, students are able to prepare and deliver well-organized speeches with appropriate audiovisual support.

Pictured above: Scholars met at Howard University for Presentation

and Public Speaking course, facilitated by Bro. Antwan Lofton and

Bro. Isaac Thweat. Scholars also learned to properly tie their bowties

in preparation for their presentations.

23

Critical Thinking and Problem Solving

This course covered common missteps that people often make

in everyday reasoning. It was designed to enable our Scholars to better recognize these common missteps and to avoid making them. The course also involves class group work that

helped develop skills in evaluating and making viable, logical solutions or arguments.

Pictured above: Scholars engaged in a critical thinking activity led by

Bro. Villareal Johnson.

24

Additional Courses

HAC Scholars completed activities and discussions related to

additional topics, including:

· Health & Nutrition for the Black Male

· Men’s’ Style (appropriate dress and grooming)

· Conflict Resolution & Stress Management

· Productivity Applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

· Money Management

· College Life 101 (Social and academic do’s and don’ts)

Pictured above: Bro. David Banks facilitates a discussion about

healthy eating during the Health and Nutrition course.

25

College Visit

HAC Scholars visited the University of Maryland and met

with African American male college students to share experiences. Scholars shadowed college students throughout

the day and sat in on college classes. The day culminated with a debriefing and reflection session.

Pictured above: Scholars engaged in discussions and show African-

American male college students at the University of Maryland.

26

Job Shadowing

Each HAC Scholar was paired with a member of the Mu Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and

shadowed them at their place of employment. Scholars and fraternity brothers were paired based on Scholars’ interests and professional aspirations.

Pictured above: Scholar Rodrick Murray job shadowing at the American

Geophysical Union (AGU) with Bro. Kevin Dixon (L) and AGU Director of

Science, Billy Williams (R).

27

Project Alpha

HAC Scholars engaged in activities with a group of younger

African American males (ages 12 to 15) for the purposes of learning about personal responsibility, sexual health, teen

pregnancy, and the importance of developing and maintaining high levels of self-esteem and self-worth. Project Alpha is a national program of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
