Congratulations to our founder Deborah J. Green-Boone on being selected as a 2008 Universal Sisters Honoree.

Deborah Green-Boone, the founder and CEO of the National Women of Colors Cancer Foundation, which is headquartered in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a breast cancer survivor, diagnosed in 2001.

Deborah is known by many for her enthusiastic energy, drive, and determination. She is someone willing to learn, and always willing to share and use her expertise to teach and motivate anyone around her.

Seven years ago, the National Women of Colors Cancer Foundation (NWCCF), initiated an outreach program entitled “Pampering the Spirit of Survivors.” This program enables NWCCF to assist recent survivors and their caregivers who are facing challenges associated with their post treatment status.

Upon identifying an individual for pampering, NWCCF delivers a special “Pampering the Spirit” basket, which in addition to monthly “thinking of you cards,” contains an assortment of items paid for by NWCCF and/or sponsors.

Flowers are sent twice a year, and if necessary, and when funds are available from grants and donations, NWCCF will treat survivors and their caregivers in a social outing, and/or provide small grant support to help survivors ease into their new traumatic life. Daily, Deborah demonstrates a strong will to enjoy life, and a dedicated passion for helping people in personal distress.

Deborah Green-Boone is the daughter of Richard (deceased) and Viola L. Green. She is the mother of Leroy L. Boone, Jr. (deceased) Malinda L. Boone and Danette M. Boone. Deborah caters to her 15 grandchildren, and is a member of the Greater New Hope Missionary Baptist Church.

Deborah is a high-risk taker, willing to risk failure in order to succeed. She has a creative mind and expressive personality. Deborah is elegant in her dress, and approaches people in a warm and friendly manner. She encourages people to do their best, and is always available to hear what they have to say. Whether Deborah is the leader or one of the followers, Deborah is an inspirational team player.

As members of NWCCF we are proud to say that for the last seven years, we have become best friends and colleagues.

Universal Sisters is a signature health program of the National Speaking of Women’s Health Foundation. Universal Sisters is dedicated to educating women of color about the significance of preventive health care.

Universal Sisters events provide a full day of pampering and unparalleled camaraderie while delivering valuable health education information in a fun and uplifting program.

Please support the National Women of Colors Cancer Foundation and Universal Sisters from 11:45AM -1:00PM Saturday, April 5th held at Northern Kentucky Convention Center, One West Rivercenter Blvd, Covington Kentucky

If you are a student who is not a resident of a European Union country, then there are certain requirements you must know about in order to attend foundation courses at a United Kingdom facility. Here is a general outline of those standards that must be met at most educational institutions offering degree programmes to foreign nationals.

Government Requirements

Any international student wishing to attend a school in the UK must obtain the appropriate visa. New this year to the process is a points system instituted by the government.

Tier 4 is the level of points applicable to students. As part of their visa application, prospective students must include the sponsor license number of a properly accredited and licensed university. Be sure you have this number in place before submitting your visa application.

University Requirements

First and foremost you will be required to have a minimum number of General Certificates of Secondary Education (GCSE). Usually these must include courses in English and Mathematics, for any number of degree programmes, although there are some equivalency standards which may apply in your specific case. Some universities will also ask for a certificate of your secondary school completion.

Many times there is a minimum age requirement, as well. Most universities accepting international students ask that students are at least 17 years old. This is no doubt due to a certain level of maturity required to attend an institutioan of higher learning in a foreign land.

For students whose first language is other than English, an optimal score on the International English Language Testing System is a must. Some universities offer their own internal testing system if this requirement has not been met. Support for further study in the English language is usually provided by the university foundation course.

About University Foundation Courses

University foundation courses (UFCs) are designed to give a student unfamiliar with certain concepts and terminology the opportunity to develop a further understanding and the necessary skills to complete the coursework for various degrees. A UFC generally lasts three to four terms and replaces the matriculation requirement that students reach A level to register for courses and begin their academic career.

There are certain core modules which will be taught in a UFC. These modules will relate directly to a student’s proposed degree coursework. Instruction is usually accomplished via traditional university lectures, tutorials, group studies, and individual coursework. End of course examinations will determine the student’s final mark.

Students who complete the foundation programme must do so with a minimum acceptable grade and the expectation that English language skills will have been further developed.

For students living outside the EU who wishes to attend a university in the UK, taking university foundation courses is an excellent way to fast track to degree coursework. These classes teach more than just the basics; they provide an extended orientation into the country itself and a way for foreign nationals to feel welcomed and accepted before plunging directly into studies.
