Developing a career trajectory: research and community service.
The faculty of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) assume a major role in educating the largest share of the country's minority students. These institutions have traditionally focused upon teaching and learning processes which most result in student successes; conversely, their faculty's focus has suffered a decreased emphasis in the areas of research and community service. The Project for Faculty and Community Enhancement (FACE) has been designed to meet this decreased interest and activity in the areas of research and community service. This article will discuss the design and effectiveness of Project FACE among nursing faculty at twenty-two HBCUs.

Child abuse and neglect: researching the use of a programmed instructional manual.
The problem studied was whether different instructional methods could increase assessment skills and affect reporting patterns of child abuse and neglect among undergraduate students majoring in nursing. Two hundred nineteen nursing students were selected from two urban universities. A programmed instruction manual, Child Abuse and Neglect, a pretest booklet, and a posttest booklet were developed specifically for this research. The nonequivalent control-group design was selected for this quasi-experimental study. Programmed instruction was found to be a viable alternative method of instruction on the topic of child abuse and neglect. Further, students who are instructed using the programmed instruction manual are able to acquire and retain information on the topic equally as well as students who are instructed by the more traditional method of lecture and discussion.

Student upward mobility: utilization of an educational support model.
Hampton University School of Nursing was funded by the Teagle Foundation in 1990 for four years and later expanded for an additional year to develop, implement and evaluate an innovative Individualized Educational Support Model for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) residing in Southeastern Virginia. Project staff assigned the Teagle Initiative developed a model program for LPNs seeking the Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. The Teagle model offers opportunities for advanced placement through National League for Nursing Mobility Examinations, CLEP, ACT-PEP, and challenge examinations; tutoring by faculty and peers; counseling by project staff for academic and financial aid, and other concerns as needed; socialization with other project students and generic students; monthly stipends to assist with additional expenses incurred when the adult student returns to school and an alternative admissions criteria for the LPN who may not meet all aspects of the Hampton University admissions criteria.

Increasing retention rates of disadvantaged students through a faculty development program.
Efforts to recruit disadvantaged students have been increasing over the past three decades. How to retain those students once they have been recruited remains a critical issue for faculty. The authors include a Faculty Development Model presently being implemented at an inner city community college to increase faculty's expertise in enhancing the skills and abilities of students from diverse backgrounds with an emphasis on the disadvantaged student.
