Volume 1, Issue 1 (2013) Inaugural Issue

Congratulations to Dean Leontye Lewis; Dr. Linda Wilson-Jones, founding Editor-in Chief; and the entire School of Education Editorial team in the publication of the inaugural issue of the Journal of Research Initiatives! Nearly 150 years ago, Fayetteville State University (FSU) was established as a teacher education institution and this new journal reflects our continuing commitment to advancing the quality of education from kindergarten to higher education. The research published in this new journal will be a valuable resource for educators seeking to increase academic achievement of students across the whole spectrum of education. Thanks to the FSU team and many others from other institutions who have contributed to this important accomplishment!

Jon Young, Provost and Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs
