Mr. Malcolm C. Braudaway
Malcolm C. Braudaway Endowed Scholarship
If we could but read the secret history of our enemies, there should be sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostilities. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
An Associate Professor of Social Work, Mr. Malcolm Braudaway was an
early pioneer in undergraduate social work education. His leadership
was invaluable in the development of the Social Work Program at
Northwestern State University. The Department of Sociology and Social
Work, under the direction of Millard Bienvenu, Ph.D., hired Mr.
Braudaway in 1972 as an Assistant Professor of Social Work from the
Family Court of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Malcolm brought to the
University his practice wisdom, insight into people and a firm
professional knowledge base. While at NSU, he was instrumental in
obtaining national accreditation from the Council on Social Work
Education for the Social Work Program from 1977 to 1996. He was
promoted to Associate Professor of Social Work in 1977 and named
Program Director of Social Work. He remained in this position
throughout his tenure at the University until his retirement in 1996.
Malcolm attended Louisiana State University and graduated with a
Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in 1965. He later graduated with a
Master of Social Work from the University of Arkansas, at Little Rock,
in 1970. He was honored by the Louisiana Council on Social Work
Education in 1997 as an Outstanding Educator in the Social Work field.
He served as president of the NSU Faculty Senate and the President's
Advisory Council from 1983-1984.
The quote was a favorite of Mr. Malcolm Braudaway, who like Emerson,
possessed a unique wisdom and insight into people and human behavior.
Soft-spoken and gentle in temperament, Malcolm was devoted to his
profession and to his students. He passed away on September 18, 2003.
He was well loved and respected by colleagues and students alike, and
is deeply missed by all. Although a man of many many talents, one
quality stood out about all others, Malcolm was a gentleman at all
times.
