Clayton State Student and Staff Member
Selected for NASPA’s Mentoring Program
The Loch Shop Launches New Custom Fan Shop
Kelvin “Jevon” Miller, a 22-year old
native of Macon, Ga., and a senior at
Clayton State University majoring in psy-
chology and human services, has been
selected for the 2012/13 class of the
NASPA - Student Affairs Administrators
in Higher Education Undergraduate
Fellows Program (NUFP).
Miller is one of four Clayton State stu-
dents selected for this year’s class. The
NASPA Undergraduate Fellows program
is a semi-structured mentoring program
for undergraduate students wishing to
explore and better understand the field of
student affairs and/or higher education.
Students and mentors apply as a pair, and
if selected are provided the foundation to
establish a semi-structured mentoring
relationship at their institution.
Miller’s mentor, who was selected with
him, is Darius Thomas, program assistant
in the Clayton State Office of Orientation
& New Student Programs and a Clayton
State Graduate. Thomas was a Fellow in
NUFP as well during his undergraduate
days at Clayton State. Thomas earned his
bachelor of science in psychology and
human services in fall 2010; he later
received his master of education in higher
education administration from Georgia
Southern University in summer 2012. He
has served in his current role since August
2011.
Miller’s anticipated graduation date is fall
2013. Upon graduation, he plans to pursue
a master degree in higher education
administration. His future career aspira-
tions include creating and supervising a
minority-driven initiative to assist minori-
ty students in retention and graduation.
His long-term goal is to become provost
of a university.
“My interest in the field of student affairs
comes from my campus involvement and
rewarding inter-
action with stu-
dent affairs pro-
fessionals,” says
Miller. Some of
his
campus
i n v o l v e m e n t
include, serving
as a F.I.R.S.T.
Step Peer Mentor,
president
of
SAAB (Student
African American
B r o t h e r h o o d ) ,
Co-Founder of
the Visual Art
Club,
and
a
NAACP Collegiate member.
“I look forward to working with Mr.
Miller as he explores the wonderful world
of higher education,” says Thomas.
Clayton State University Laker fans can
now do all their holiday shopping on-line,
with one easy click of the mouse.
Todd Smith, manager of the University’s
Loch Shop, has announced the launch of
www.claytonstategear.com, the official
online store for Clayton State Athletics
devoted exclusively to selling Laker ath-
letic gear. From Adidas to Under Armour,
www.claytonstategear.com has something
for every Laker fan, while offering the
ease of online purchasing.
“Our new custom fan shop, www.clayton-
stategear.com, allows the Loch Shop to
offer its customers a larger number of
items than we have space to offer in our
current bricks and mortar location,” notes
Smith, who adds that The Loch Shop
splits the proceeds from every sale with
the Clayton State Athletics Department.
Jessica Valadez, the developer of the new
site and college program manager for
Advanced-Online, says that www.clay-
tonstategear.com should have between
300 to 500 products available online, and
will continue to add new products
throughout the year. She also promises to
run monthly promotions (the current one
is a gift with a $50 purchase) throughout
the year as well.
