SPBS, August 19th, 2015 -- A distinguished son of the soil, a proud Sandy Pointer, the third son of Hillary Joseph and Pamela Broadbelt-Joseph of Sandy Point, St. Kitts. Mr. Lerone Joseph acquired his formative education at the Sandy Point Primary School where he graduated top of his class becoming the 2000 SPBS Principal’s Award Winner. He graduated from the Sandy Point High School in 2005 with nine CXC subjects, and attended the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College for one year.
From his elementary school years, Lerone has built a brilliant educational record. In 2011 he graduated with honors from the University at Albany in New York and was awarded a Bachelor’s of Arts degree. As an undergraduate he doubled majored in Sociology and Criminology, and minored in Mathematics with a concentration in Statistical Analysis.
The fall of 2011 saw Lerone continuing his academic and professional career at one of the nation’s leading research schools in Criminal Justice and Forensic Science at the University of New Haven. There he pursued a Master’s of Science degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Justice Management and Administration. In addition to being awarded his M.Sc. in January 2013, Lerone earned a graduate certificate in Public Administration. One of his academic goals is to complete a PhD in Criminology and become a university professor.
Coupled with Lerone’s exceptional performance in the classroom, he completed several internships that provided him with the required work experience for his future professional career. Most notable were his 2010 fall internship with Albany County Crime Victims and Sexual Violence Center, and the 2011 spring attachment to the Albany County Department of Probation as Victim Advocate. His internship experience also took him to the University at Albany Student Group Affairs as a Compliance Officer.
Mr. Joseph’s scholarship, his intellectual acumen and impeccable quality of his work have not gone unnoticed. As an undergrad, the University at Albany, in March 2011, honored him with its Presidential Award for Leadership. This award gives recognition to undergraduate students who have made significant contributions to enhance the quality of life at UA in the area of extraordinary leadership, service, academic achievement, and involvement in the university community.
Winston Salem State University recognized his work with the Hall Director of the Year Award and the Ordinary Men Award for 2014. Lerone’s scholarly work also earned him recognition when he was adjudged the NEACUHO 2012 Case Study Winner. These accomplishments speak volumes of the caliber of this young, humble Sandy Pointer.
Amidst his busy schedule, and true to his nature, Lerone finds time to give back to the Winston Salem community by volunteering with the Cooperate Reads Program and the Big Brother & Big Sister Mentorship Program. The Sandy Point Benevolent Society, Inc. is proud to salute Mr. Lerone Joseph, its 2000 Principal’s Award Winner!
