Master of Ceremony Brother Isaac W. K. Thweatt
Brother Isaac W. K. Thweatt was
initiated into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. on
Saturday, December 8, 2001 through the Iota Alpha Chapter seated at George Mason University
(Fairfax, VA). Today, he is an active Brother in the
fraternity through Mu Lambda Chapter
(Washington, D.C.) as a student development
workshop facilitator, performer, event producer, and fundraising consultant.
As Director of Alumni Outreach at American University (Washington, D.C.),
Brother Thweatt creates, manages, and develops affinity alumni programs, alumni
benefits and services, and student-alumni initiatives including the alumni admissions
program and the university’s distinguished alumni speaker series. Prior to this position, he was Associate Director of Development for the George Mason University
School of Management.
A tireless advocate for community service, higher education, and personal
development, Brother Thweatt has volunteered in pageantry throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia local and state pageants as an executive
director, producer, choreographer, judge, and prep team volunteer specializing in
personal brand development, talent development and execution, on-stage interview,
and modeling.
Brother Thweatt stays engaged in his professional community as a strategist,
presenter, and social media volunteer for the Council for Advancement and Support
of Education (CASE, District I and II) and the Association of Fundraising
Professionals (AFP, DC Chapter and National African-American Affinity). He is a
two-time district level presenter for CASE (stellar rating) and in 2013, was acknowledged as Who's Who in Black Washington, D.C.
Thweatt is a graduate of The Catholic University of America with a master of science
in management (leadership) and George Mason University with a bachelor of music
in voice (performance). 6

Sketches
Of The Mu Lambda
Foundation’s
Community House
By Julius Brice
Chairman of
The Mu Lambda Foundation
In a recent conversation with Rod Richardson, Executive Director of Mu Lambda Foundation, he
requested that I share a historical perspective on the facilities that had been used in the past. Rod added that he had current information about our present location but had heard that the Brothers of
Alpha Phi Alpha had other locations prior to the current location. I directed Rod to some
documented research sources but at his insistence shared the following non-specific historical
memories about previous houses owned by Mu Lambda.
I first learned about Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity when I was discharged from the Army. I returned
to the United States from Japan, and became a student at South Carolina State University in 1946. I
became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in December of 1948. While a student at South
Carolina State, Dr. Belford V. Lawson, the General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at that
time, visited our campus. I was very impressed with his presentation and particularly impressed with his conversation about Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. When I relocated to Washington D.C. in
1950 I phoned Dr. Belford, who was a D.C. resident, to inquire about associating with my Alpha
Brothers in Washington.
After arriving in D.C., I became aware of a facility previously owned by the Beta Mu Lambda Corporation located on Third Street. While I am unfamiliar with the activities of that facility, I do
recall after that time a house that was located at 1800 New Hampshire Avenue NW at the corner of
“Q” Street and New Hampshire.
It’s my understanding that this house was a joint venture between the Mu Lambda Graduate Chapter and the undergraduate Chapter at Howard University. This house was used for social events,
chapter meetings and also served as a dormitory for seven or eight brothers. As time passed, lack of
adequate parking space became an increasing problem the brothers decided that the needed
renovations to resolve the parking problem were cost prohibitive and decided to sell the facility.
The purchase of our current facility in 1997, at 2405 First Street N.W. was a suggestion made by
Brother Morris Hawkins. The primary purpose of this facility is promotion of scholarship, and the
enhancement of knowledge and achievement of males of all ages. We will soon launch a “Capital
Campaign” that will enable us to take advantage of this location in the Howard University
community. We look forward to your assistance with our Capital Campaign.

Assistant Dean of
Henry Arthur Callis
Academy
Brother Arthur L. Fields
The function of education is to teach one to think
intensively and to think Critically. Intelligence plus
character-that is the goal of education.--Bro. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Bro. Arthur L. Fields currently holds a PhD from Capella University, a Masters of Social
Work degree from Howard University, and is currently enrolled as a full-time student in
Georgetown University Executive Masters in Leadership program. As an educator, he takes tremendous pride in opportunities in his professional and personal life to shape and
mold young minds through guidance and mentorship. As Deputy Chief of the Office of
Youth Engagement with District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), he is charged with
ensuring that students are treated equitably, as well as providing common sense, real
world solutions to ensure the school environment is conducive to inspiring interest in learning amongst often disenfranchised and troubled youth. As Director of Education for
Mu Lambda Chapter and Assistant Dean of the Henry Arthur Callis Academy, Dr. Fields
has helped to create and develop a program that is not only working to ensure that young
African-American males are getting accepted into higher academia, but that they graduate
within four years. These fraternal and work responsibilities afford him the opportunity to consistently use his academic background and expertise to work closely with young
adults and utilize a wealth of experience to support student development and growth from
an academic and personal standpoint.
As a native of New York, and long-term resident of Washington, D.C. he is primarily inspired by supporting students in overcoming socioeconomic challenges confronted and
endured daily by residents of inner-city communities and urban metropolitan areas. In
understanding the negative social factors and influences that permeate many urban
communities, he has embraced a role in providing youth empowerment and upliftment
through engaging adolescents and young adults on issues of financial literacy, social & civic responsibility, and personal conduct for youth development. These efforts are
propelled from a conviction in a personal responsibility to leverage his position of
leadership to support advocacy for troubled and disenfranchised youth in attaining higher
education and subscribing to values of integrity, discipline and hard work to reach
individual goals.

Henry Arthur Callis Academy
The Mu Lambda Foundation HAC Academy originated from the Mu Lambda Foundation Beautillion Program. After close to 20 years of successfully hosting the Beautillion
Program, the Mu Lambda Foundation took the lessons learned and established the Henry
Arthur Callis Academy.
Since its inception in 1995, the Mu Lambda Foundation Beautillion Program has provided weekend workshops, social experiences, mentoring, and scholarships to the more than 190
young men. One hundred percent of the participants graduated high school and over ninety
percent attended college. The Beautillion Program was conceived as a “rites of passage”
experience where young men learn critical information as they move from adolescence to
manhood.
In 2013/14, the HAC Academy started with 11 high school seniors. For six months, the
Scholars engaged in courses and structured activities that increased their capacity to be
successful during their first year of college. Academy courses and activities were designed
to improve the Scholars organization and study skills, critical thinking and problem solving ability, presentation and pubic speaking skills, and capacity to manage college life.
The 2013/14 HAC Academy components included:
1) Core Courses 2) Additional Courses
3) College Visit
4) Mentoring
5) Job Shadowing
6) Participation in Project Alpha* *Project Alpha is a national program of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
A focus and emphasis on critical thinking, decision-making, and communication (both
written and verbal) are throughout all components of the HAC Academy.
In 2014/2015, we will be adding high school juniors to the academy. In the summer of
2015, the Henry Arthur Callis Academy will a summer enrichment camp for eighth and ninth graders focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
.
Bro. Lawrence Clark,
Academy Dean, discusses goals of the
Academy and
expectations and
responsibilities of
Academy Scholars.
18
Core Courses
HAC Scholars completed a six-month curriculum that focused
on research-based information and strategies. The curriculum was designed to support HAC Scholars in their senior year and
successfully transition them into their first year of college.
Picturedabove: Bro.ArthurFields,DirectorofEducationandAssistantAcademyDean,leadsagroupdiscussiononcollege-
readinessduringanearlyAcademysession.
19
Organization and Study Skills
Scholars engaged in activities that examined and improved
their organization and study skills. Scholars were exposed to what organization and study skills will be demanded of them in college and developed a Personal Organization and Study
Skills Improvement Plan that supported their efforts to successfully complete their freshman year (and beyond).
Pictured above: Bro. Michael Gallion facilitates a discussion in the
Organization and Study Skills course.
20
Finding Your Focus - The College Major
Personal interests and goals were examined and discussed for
the purposes of choosing the best major. Their intended college majors were examined from multiple perspectives such
as:
1) personal interest 2) forecasts for demand of college graduates with their
desired major 3) undergraduate majors that will best prepare them for
professional or graduate schools (medical, law, dental,
and other graduate programs).
Discussions were facilitated highlighting the contemporary and future value of majoring in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
University alumni association representatives provided scholars
information. Pictured: Calvin Ruffin of the Hampton University
Alumni Association.
21
Financing College
A focus on a deeper understanding of financing college and making sound financial decisions were presented to both Scholars and parents. Upon completion of this course, our
scholars examined their top college choices and had a prepared plan that described the financial resources they will draw on to
manage college expenses.
Pictured above: Scholars and parents engaged in college selection and
financing discussions.
22
Presentation and Public Speaking
This course provided instruction and experience in preparation and
delivery of speeches within a public setting and group discussion. Emphasis was on research, preparation, delivery, and evaluation of
informative, persuasive, and special occasion public speaking. Upon completion, students are able to prepare and deliver well-organized speeches with appropriate audiovisual support.
Pictured above: Scholars met at Howard University for Presentation
and Public Speaking course, facilitated by Bro. Antwan Lofton and
Bro. Isaac Thweat. Scholars also learned to properly tie their bowties
in preparation for their presentations.
23
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
This course covered common missteps that people often make
in everyday reasoning. It was designed to enable our Scholars to better recognize these common missteps and to avoid making them. The course also involves class group work that
helped develop skills in evaluating and making viable, logical solutions or arguments.
Pictured above: Scholars engaged in a critical thinking activity led by
Bro. Villareal Johnson.
24
Additional Courses
HAC Scholars completed activities and discussions related to
additional topics, including:
· Health & Nutrition for the Black Male
· Men’s’ Style (appropriate dress and grooming)
· Conflict Resolution & Stress Management
· Productivity Applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
· Money Management
· College Life 101 (Social and academic do’s and don’ts)
Pictured above: Bro. David Banks facilitates a discussion about
healthy eating during the Health and Nutrition course.
25
College Visit
HAC Scholars visited the University of Maryland and met
with African American male college students to share experiences. Scholars shadowed college students throughout
the day and sat in on college classes. The day culminated with a debriefing and reflection session.
Pictured above: Scholars engaged in discussions and show African-
American male college students at the University of Maryland.
26
Job Shadowing
Each HAC Scholar was paired with a member of the Mu Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and
shadowed them at their place of employment. Scholars and fraternity brothers were paired based on Scholars’ interests and professional aspirations.
Pictured above: Scholar Rodrick Murray job shadowing at the American
Geophysical Union (AGU) with Bro. Kevin Dixon (L) and AGU Director of
Science, Billy Williams (R).
27
Project Alpha
HAC Scholars engaged in activities with a group of younger
African American males (ages 12 to 15) for the purposes of learning about personal responsibility, sexual health, teen
pregnancy, and the importance of developing and maintaining high levels of self-esteem and self-worth. Project Alpha is a national program of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
