Second-year University of Arkansas School of Law student Christopher Dawkins was recently awarded a 2006-07 Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship. The scholarship was established in 1947 to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries. As part of his scholarship, Dawkins will continue his legal studies at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa. He will earn approximately $20,000 studying abroad and acting as a student ambassador between South Africa and the United States.

In 2004, Dawkins graduated cum laude from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga., with a bachelor's in political science. While at Morehouse, he continued civic service through Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the Morehouse Mentoring Institute, Junior Achievement and Teach for America. His commitment to service resulted in his being awarded a Certificate of Achievement from Georgia Governor Roy Barnes and an Emma and Joe Adams Public Service Scholarship.   more >>

Pitty-pat isn't for little kids, and grill face has nothing to do with the front of a truck. Get your stepping terms straight:

Stepping: Intense dance in which the feet and hands are used as instruments; often a synchronized line dance; rooted in African history and adapted by many black fraternities and sororities into a competitive art form.

Stomping: Synonym for stepping.

Step master: Captain of the step team, sometimes a choreographer, often a lead stepper and the caller in "call-and-response."

Call and response: A musical form sometimes embedded in step routines. The step master begins with a move, then cues other steppers to join in. 

Grill face or mug face: The serious expression worn by steppers, especially when competing.  more >>
