Beverly J. McIver, Professional Artist, is a 1987 graduate of NCCU from
   Greensboro will be featured in "FACING SOUTH: PORTRAITS BY NORTH
   CAROLINA ARTIST' EXHIBIT, Sunday, May 18, 2008 at the Green Hill 
 
   Center for North  Carolina Art, Greensboro Cultural Center, 200 North
   Davie Street.  Beverly will discuss her portraits between 3-5 PM.  There  
   will be a reception following her presentation.  Beverly is one of our       
   Sheroes having come from a very humble and meager beginning in  
   Morningside Homes, she is a role model for every young child,           
   especially Black children.                       

   She is a symbol of the saying that "you can be and do anything you desire
   to be" if you focus and work hard keeping your eyes on the prize. After       
   graduation from North Carolina Central, McIver went on to Penn State  
   University and received a Masters In Art.  She is a Professor of Art at     
   Arizona State University and will be on leave during the ensuing school
   year to teach at NCCU.  I invite all alums to come out Sunday and wel- 
  come Beverly back home.
