Colleges put focus on career opportunities
Curriculum programs in community
development will be expanded at two
historically black colleges and universi
ties, Howard University, Washington,
D.C., and Saint Augustine’s College, Ra
leigh, N.C.
The improvements, made possible
by grants o f $ 160,000, will improve un-
dergraduate education in community de
velopment, motivate young people to
pursue career opportunities in the field,
and expand in-service training for current
community development practitioners.
The grants wereawardedbyNew York-
based Seedco and announced during the
organization’s lOtli anniversary celebra-
tion Thursday evening. Seedco is a pri

“The community development field
confronts two related challenges: ex
panding its focus from improving a
community’s physical condition to en
hancing its asset base; and launching com
prehensive economic and social revital-
îzation programs that can respond to
changes created by welfare reform," ex
plains Tom Seessel, Seedco president.
“T he program s developed by these
two institutions will help prepare a
new generation o f com m unity devel
opm ent leaders with the knowledge,
skills and vision to accom plish these
tasks and provide a m odel from which
other higher education institutions can
create their own program s,” Seessel
said.
According to a report by the National
Congress for Com munity Economic
Development, the community develop
ment field is a growth industry.
