V1N1- SCAlpha Brothers select for 2017 Alpha Leadership Academy

The Alpha Phi Alpha College Chapter Leadership Academy recently announced the selections for the 20th Anniversary (Upsilon) class. This year, the South Carolina District is happy to announce that two of our outstanding college brothers were selected to be in this milestone class. Congratulations to both, Brother Jonathan K. Greene, Jr.(left) of Kappa Chi (Francis Marion University) and Brother Jalen Youmans (bottom left) of Pi Alpha (Clemson University).

The purpose of the Alpha Leadership Academy is to provide a thorough, intense experience for young men who have been elected to a leadership role at the various levels of the fraternity. What makes this program unique is the student development foundation on which it is based. Several student development theories are used as the theoretical framework within which this academy operates. Such theories include the student wellness model for holistic development, involvement theory, moral development, service learning, among many others.

As a part of their selection, Brothers Greene and Youmans will receive a $500 stipend from the South Carolina District to assist them with expenses associated with this year’s Academy. We wish them well as they continue their academic and leadership pursuits via this educational portal.
