Dr. Cleveland Dennard, Principal of Carver Vocational and Adult School, was keynote speaker at the first session of the
Business Career Clinic.
Business Week Observed by Business Dept.
Dr. K. K. Das and Dr. Cleve
land L. Dennard were opening
speakers Thursday, April 1,
when the Clark College Busi
ness Department sponsored its
First Business Week Obser
vance. Coordinated by Miss
Jennye M. Townsend of the
Clark Business Department, the
Business Week Program
brought to the campus represen
tatives of several national and
local businesses and from the
U. S. Civil Service Commission
and the State Department of
Education.
The activities started on
April 1 with an assembly under
the chairmanship of Diane Jen
nings. Dr. K. K. Das, Professor
of Business Administration, At
lanta University addressed the
assembly. Dr. Das talked on
“Challenges and Opportunities
in the Great Society,” theme of
the observance, in Davage Au
ditorium at 10 a.m. Growth in
the gross national product was
stressed and the impact of auto
mation on the working man was
discussed at length.
The latter part of the day
gave host to the Business Ca
reer Clinic with Leo Shingles
presiding. The opening session
at the clinic marked the high
spot of the day’s activities when
the keynote speaker, Dr. Cleve
land Dennard, addressed the
Business majors. Following our
theme, Dr. Dennard proposed
many challenges emphasizing
the need for occupational prep
aration, the job of getting five
million people into responsible
employment, and a decision on
how much education is re
quired for successful partici
pation in the world of work. He
stated that, “The presence of
the computer will dictate, in
large measure, the opportuni
ties to be provided in the great
society. In order to meet the
challenges and opportunities in
the great society, there must
be a maximum utilization of
each individual’s abilities. The
population explosion, the mo
bility of this knowledge as well
as technological advances makes
these challenges a necessity.”
The second session engaged
the attendants in two work
shops monitored by Mr. Wil
liam T. Robie, Acting Head of
the Business Administration
Dept., and Miss Jennye M.
Townsend. Here, eight consul
tants were presented in two
panels which exchanged work
shop groups, this allowing all
present to be exposed to all con
sultants. The consultants were:
Mr. Allen E. Caldwell, Caldwell
Real Estate Company; Mr.
Claude D. Miller, Personnel
Manager, Sears, Roebuck and
Company; Mr. James H. Wykle,
State Supervisor of Business
and Office Education, Georgia
State Department of Education;
Mr. Kenneth D. Days, Sr., Reg
istered Public Accountant; Mr.
James A. Kammerer, District
Manager, Metropolitan Life In
surance Company; Mr. Mal
colm J. Meredith, Personnel
Manager, Catalog Ordering
Plant, Sears, Roebuck and Com
pany; Mr. Herrick A. Mc
Connell, U. S. Civil Service
Commissioner; Mr. P. D. Davis,
Director, The Atlanta School of
Business.
While each of the consultants
represented a different phase of
the education and business
world, there seemed to have
been common requirements and
traits needed for success.
Among those most frequently
mentioned were: (1) eduaction
and training required for the
special area (2) facility in the
use of the English Language
(3) a high degree of compet
ence—(no place for mediocri
ty) (4) ability to think (5)
persistent effort and (6) ability
to get along with people—(85%
of the people who lose their
jobs do so because of their in
ability to get along with peo
ple).
The third session, a second
general assembly, took place in
Georgia Williams Brawley
Lounge, Kresge Hall. Dr. Bold
The last event of the Business Week Observance was a Banquet which was held at Paschal Bros, on April 2, 1965. The guest
