said Bertha Hittie, the Director of Hu- ^

The campaign includes brochures,
aiders, posters and flyers. The college

According to Robinson, other strengths
f the program include: preparing more

being more marketable to schools,
taving more time training in the classoom
and more exposure to education

When asked about the success of the
