	Social Work professor launches book on Manifesting Your Greatness Through Goal Setting February 9, 2024 Contact: Brittney Dabney, Office of Communications, Public Relations and Marketing A new book by a 快活视频 Social Work professor and alumna aims to help students and individuals become better goal-setters and goal-getters. The book, titled "Manifesting Your Greatness Through Goal Setting: How to Set Simple and Achievable Goals," promises to be a transformative guide for individuals seeking to unlock their full potential by setting short- and long-term goals. The book is written by Andrea Stallworth 鈥�06, assistant professor and director of field education in the social work department. Focused on the power of goal setting, the book delves into the psychology of achievement and offers actionable strategies to help readers set, pursue, and attain their most ambitious goals. "I wrote this eBook from the perspective of someone who has written and achieved goals from an elementary school student to now a Clinical Social Worker and Assistant Professor in the social work department," said Stallworth. "This book was designed to help others achieve their goals at their own pace using a simple, easy-to-write approach." In the book, Stallworth cites research by the University of Scranton that 92 percent of people who set goals never achieve them. So, what does the 8 percent possess to achieve their goals? Consistency, passion, commitment, vision, challenging but realistic goals, accountability and responsibility, and action steps are a few things. In the book, Stallworth ties together the framework of how her approach as a professor affects her role as a social worker. "As social workers and future social workers, when we work with our clients, we create goals alongside them and have them achieve short-term and long-term goals to become well, whole, and successful," said Stallworth. "Our students at Tuskegee have goals to matriculate through their major by taking their courses, passing them with passing grades, maintaining their grades, achieving life and school balance, and achieving overall success." The printed edition features 37 pages based on the importance of goal setting, why making excuses will not help manifest your vision or goals, how to become a smart goal-getter, and how to face fear through goals, action steps, and daily inner work. Stallworth says the intended target audience for the book is for everyone. "I wrote this book for those who struggle to set simple, specific, and achievable goals and work towards manifesting them," said Stallworth. "I want the readers to understand the difference between short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals and why it is important to set simple goals and create action plans to achieve them." "Manifesting Your Greatness Through Goal Setting: How to Set Simple and Achievable Goals" is now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble in eBook and paperback format.

	Tuskegee professor named as the first recipient of the Zane L. Miller Book Development Award May 02, 2023 Contact: Kawana McGough, Office of Communications, Public Relations and Marketing 听 Tilghman John Tilghman, Associate Professor and Interim Department Chair of History and Political Science in the College of Arts and Sciences, has been named the inaugural recipient of the Temple University Press (TUP) Zane L. Miller Book Development Award for his proposed book, currently titled听"Jim Crow from the Harbor: Black Freedom Struggle and Downtown Baltimore." He will receive $2,500 to fund the development of his urban studies-focused book manuscript. When presenting Tilghman with the award, the committee noted that his book 鈥減rovides new perspectives on downtown development, African American history, Baltimore history, and the complexities of class in urban America.鈥� The prize, named in honor of the late founding editor of TUP鈥檚听听series, is designed to advance the careers of听scholars from underrepresented communities who have limited access to financial resources for book development. It also honors Miller, a renowned scholar of urban history and a devoted, tireless mentor to less-experienced fellow authors seeking to navigate the book development and publication process.听 David Stradling, coeditor of the听听series said, 鈥淒r. Tilghman鈥檚 work revises the story of the white growth machine鈥檚 late 20th听century听efforts to protect downtown Baltimore through segregation, redevelopment, and displacement听by putting Black voices and Black activism at the center of the story. In Tilghman鈥檚 telling, Black home buyers remake Baltimore鈥檚 central city neighborhoods, Black shoppers force the desegregation of downtown stores, and Black activists reshape Baltimore politics. Ultimately, efforts to create an all-white citadel in the central city can only crumble.鈥澨� Upon receiving the award, Tilghman said, 鈥淲inning the Zane L. Miller Book Development Award is a tremendous honor. I would like to thank the editors at Temple University Press, and particularly Dr. David Stradling and Dr. Davarian Baldwin, for helping me make this proposed book more insightful and impactful.鈥� *"Jim Crow from the Harbor"*听examines Baltimore鈥檚 downtown redevelopment of the Charles Center and Inner Harbor-Harborplace through the lens of the city鈥檚 civil rights movement, with particular attention paid to how these initiatives succeeded in producing a glitzy fa莽ade of a revitalized downtown American city while severely constraining the lives of its Black residents. Tilghman explores the origins and importance of urban tensions between the Black community and downtown interests after the Second Great Migration and during the postwar Civil Rights and Black Power era, the implementation of urban development projects, and anti-freeway and affirmative action campaigns. The author鈥檚 research uncovers how a public-private partnership鈥攁 coalition of real estate agents, businesspeople, city politicians, and housing developers鈥� worked to exacerbate racial and class segregation and destroy Black communities by expanding the downtown beyond the central business district. The Zane L. Miller Book Development Award is given annually. For submission information, . 漏 2023 快活视频
