Bluefield State University introduces International Studies program
The four-year degree program will prepare students for graduate studies in variety of fields including education, international affairs, homeland security, and more.
While the program emphasizes preparing students for life after graduation, Bluefield State's Director for the Office of International Initiatives, Dr. Sudhaker Jamkhandi pointed out that the International Studies Program is ultimately about bringing people together.
'As long as we exist on this planet, there will always be a need for relations with folks in other countries. So here we are trying to groom folks not just in learning about their immediate community etc., but about the world,' he said.

'We can also learn much about not only who they are but about their nations, about their cultures, and sometimes even some conversational languages and so on just to say 'hello' and make a new friend. So that's what this is all about,' Jamkhandi added.
Course registration for the upcoming summer and fall semesters at Bluefield State University will be open to all students beginning April 21.

Did Y'all Know There Are 2 Predominantly White HBCUs In West Virginia? Read That Again
Source: fotoguy22 / Getty Did y'all know there are at least two historically Black colleges in America (West Virginia to be specific) that are predominantly white? Now, you probably read the above sentence and said to yourself: 'Nah, that can't be right. How are they HBCUs if their student body isn't Black? What do you think the 'B' stands for? It ain't 'bring on the white folks.'' Well, apparently, for all the griping white people do about DEI, affirmative action, reverse discrimination and the very existence of Black institutions — all of which only exist because Black people have been historically excluded from so many institutions that white people had full access to—some Caucasian administrators don't mind taking advantage of the minority designation when it suits them. Also, it turns out that desegregation opened the door for white people to gentrify and take over Black spaces. Let's start with West Virginia's Bluefield State University, a college that held on to its HBCU title and the federal funding that comes with it, despite being around 71% white, which, to be fair, is an improvement from around a decade ago, when it was 90% white. Here's how NPR explained the college's racial transition in 2013: It opened in the late 19th century as the Bluefield Colored Institute, created to educate the children of black coal miners in segregated West Virginia. Although it still receives the federal funding that comes with its designation as a historically black institution, today Bluefield State College is 90 percent white. The road that separates those realities is as rocky as any story of racial transition in post-World War II America. This part of West Virginia was coal country and still is — trains still haul coal along those tracks hugging the college's southern edge. Many of the black folks who migrated to West Virginia to work in the coal mines sent their children to the Bluefield Colored Institute. By the 1920s, the school was a football power among black colleges and a stepping stone for much of the region's black middle class. In 1954, just a few years after Bluefield State earned full accreditation, the Supreme Court declared segregation illegal in Brown v. Board of Education , reshaping the landscape of America's schooling. Suddenly, black students had more educational options to choose from, in theory anyway. And black colleges and universities like Bluefield State began having to compete with better-funded predominantly white schools for top black students. At the same time, new technology was making mining jobs obsolete, and many black folks started leaving the state, heading North to go work in the factories. White veterans started coming back to West Virginia after fighting in Korea. And with the government footing their tuition costs through the G.I. Bill, the state's inexpensive black schools — the other was West Virginia State University — started looking more and more attractive to white students. 'We had an out-migration of students of color because of Brown v. Board of Ed ,' said Jim Nelson, a spokesman for the school, 'at roughly the same time that we had an in-migration of largely Caucasian students wanting to use their G.I. Bill benefits. So that's what, as much as anything, that's what flipped the complexion of the school.' But that's not all that changed the racial tides at Bluefield; a change in leadership also served to make this HBCU a predominantly white institution (PWI). By the mid-1960s, Bluefield State was about half Black. In 1966, the state selected Wendell G. Hardway to serve as the college's first white president. By 1968, Hardway had hired 23 new faculty members — all of whom were white. So, the faculty at Bluefield, which had been all-Black as recently as 1954, was, by 1967, only 30% Black. If that's not a picture-perfect example of why Black people need to gatekeep Black spaces, I don't know what is. The situation is similar at West Virginia State University, which, according to its website, was 'founded in 1891 as a Historically Black College' but has now 'evolved to serve a population that is richly diverse in ethnicity, geography, residential/commuter, high school graduates and adult learners.' Riiiight, so—let's talk about that rich ethnic diversity right quick. Currently, the student body at WVSU, which also continues to maintain its HBCU status, is 67.6% White and only 7.37% Black or African American. And the so-called diversity doesn't lie in the other ethnic groups either, with mixed race students at 3.27%, Hispanic or Latino students at 2.17%, Asian students at 1.27%, American Indian or Alaska Native students at 0.174%, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders at 0.0868%. Imagine a school calling itself an HBCU while only its white students even reach double-digit percentage points. It's not as if these schools are leading the HBCUs that are actually predominantly Black on an academic level. In fact, of the 107 designated HBCUs in the U.S., Bluefield State and West Virginia State are ranked at No. 38 and No. 42, respectively. It's worth mentioning that these aren't the only HBCUs with growing white student bodies. For example, Lincoln University, an HBCU in Jefferson City, Missouri, is still predominantly Black at around 42%, but 40% of the students there are white. Again, white conservatives have claimed for generations that the existence of Black colleges is inherently racist (also see Black History Month, BET, etc.), ignoring the fact that white people can and do attend Black colleges, and even receive minority scholarships to do so. But what happens when we open the gates to our spaces and it results in us getting phased out? It's almost as if what's ours is theirs and what's theirs is still theirs, or else it's DEI. Ironic, right?

Veterans and their families enjoy free breakfast and more at a Mercer County church
PRINCETON, WV (WVNS) – Veterans were treated to free breakfast and supplies at a Mercer County church. Celebrate local veterans at the Community Veterans Breakfast and Stand Down event The Community Veteran's Breakfast and Stand Down event was held at Lifeline Church of God on Saturday, November 2nd, beginning at 9 a.m. This event was free to any and all veterans regardless of where they reside. Omar Aboulhosn is one of the organizers of this event. He told 59News this is their tenth year of putting on this event. 'We always do it on the first Saturday of November here at Lifeline Church of God. What we do is – we offer breakfast for veterans and their family and then we do a distribution outside of different items that were donated to distribute to veterans,' said Aboulhosn. The 'Stand Down' part of this event refers to the supplies they were passing out. The supplies included different foods and drinks, as well as backpacks, sleeping bags, boots, and more. Eugene Bennington is a World War II Veteran from the US Navy. He was one of the veterans in attendance for the activities. 'They had a very good breakfast and so far, it has been a very nice day. There has been things I have never seen. I have never been in this building. I did not know the building was that big,' said Bennington. Bennington registered and was drafted into the military at the age of 15. He served in both the Philippines and Japan during his time of service. 'Veterans Breakfast and Stand Down' at the Princeton Lifeline Church of God Concord University's softball team, Bluefield State University's baseball team, and Princeton Senior High School's National Honor Society were among those volunteering their time to give back to our veterans. 'It is important for them to understand why they get to do what they do. It is because of our veterans that provided the freedoms that we have and the protection for this country, so that we get to do what we do,' said Aboulhosn. Copyright 2024 Nexstar Media, Inc.
