Looking Back to 1982-83 Retrospect 1982-83 was a year of highs and lows for the Fort Valley State College family. In June of 1982, president Cleveland Pettigrew died. Frustrations surfaced as the search for a new president began. Perhaps, one of the many high points for the Fort Valley State College was the gaining of a journalism department. Another high point for the “valley” was its football team. The Wildcats played West Texas State in round I of the Division II playoffs. Dr. Luther Burse was selected to fulfill Fort Valley State’s vacancy as President. Dr. Burse worked in the Division of In- dustrial Arts and Technology as professor and coordinator of Graduate Studies at Cheyney State University. A new president, a different outlook, a homecoming queen who is both “A lady and an Officer,” combines to spell a brighter day for the Fort Valley State College. Looking Back 1982-83—7

Dr. C.W. Pettigrew The Fort Valley State family paid tribute and dedicated the 1983-84 to Dr. Cleveland W. Pettigrew. Dr. Pettigrew died June 11, 1982; however, his labors and accomplishments will live forever. Dr. Pettigrew served as president of Fort Valley State from 1973 to 1982. His accomplishments were many. Under his administration the renovation of Founders Hall was completed, the L.R. Bywaters Building was renovated, and the east wing of Jeanes Hall was completed. Also under his administration FVSC advanced to Division II of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Additionally, new programs in the areas of Psychology, Political Science, Criminal Justice, Agricultural Economics, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering were activated under his administration. Dr. Pettigrew is greatly missed. He left behind a model worth emulating. His accomplishments at Fort Valley State will be appreciated for a life-time. Dedication 8—Dedication C.W. Pettigrew
