Timothy Noble Jennings-Bey talked about how to change attitudes and perceptions during Wednesday’s Conversations in Conflict Studies event.
During a lunchtime lecture at SU’s Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs, Timothy Noble Jennings-Bey and Arnett Haygood-El described the workings of their organization, Street Addition Institute, Inc. The SAII could be described as a combination think tank/social service organization committed to bridging generational divides by rehabilitating individuals and families who suffer from trauma such as gun violence being confined to historically disadvantaged neighborhoods.
The presentation provided vital statistics and showed how violent trauma often breeds fear in those living within the affected areas and neglect from public institutions. One graph showed an interesting relationship between gun fire in neighborhoods and school disciplinary practices, and how a ADD diagnosis may actually be a form PTSD in some cases.
Jennings-Bey recognized these problems are not new (many like housing segregation are the result of public policy), but SAII’s goal is to identify those affected, and help provide solutions from a grass-roots perspective.

Getting Busy

Dr. Daria Willis (right) met members of Mercy Works, Inc. today, including executives Angela Douglas and Clarence Jordan.
Some folks waste no time. Onondaga Community College’s new Provost Dr. Daria Willis has been on the job exactly one month, and she’s already making an impact. Today she met students from the Synergy internship program (Mercy Works, Inc.) at Upstate Medical University. During her brief commencement remarks, she encouraged the students to reach for their goals and never take the any aspect of their educational opportunities lightly.
It’s always good to see new people bring new energy to existing programs (Willis is from the ATL, and got degrees from FAMU and Florida State). If you see her out and about show her some love.
Gestures like this help put the “C” in community college.
