CONGRATULATIONS to Dr. Janice Brickhouse Saunders 

 

In recognition of celebrating Black History Month in February 2025, please join us in honoring Dr. Janice Brickhouse Saunders as the First African American Female Postal Carrier in the City of Norfolk, Virginia - a defining moment of Black History! Upon graduating from Booker T. Washington High School, Dr. Saunders enrolled in Norfolk State University (Norfolk State College at that time) and majored in Sociology with the goal of becoming a juvenile officer or owning a home for unwed mothers. But God had another plan! Eventually, she returned to college and was convinced by her counselor to minor in education. Ironically, Dr. Saunders never planned to become a teacher; it was the course in Psychology of Personal Development that allowed students to reflect on their personal, social, mental, and spiritual development that her mission in the building of God’s kingdom began. In her leadership role with  WPWBC and in maintaining a collegial environment conducive to learning and manifesting God's Word, Dr. Saunders serves as our Vice President and Provost for Academic Affairs; the Director of the Writing, Supplemental Instruction, and Tutoring Center; and as a Lead Instructor in both the undergraduate and graduate programs. She also serves as an Evangelist with the New Mount Joy - Food For Living Ministries Church in Suffolk, Virginia.
