What an awesome and very fitting award to someone who spent many years fighting for equity in higher education. Wonderful!
We’ll deserved honor. A great man in his own right.
It’s an honor to know as a member of Pennsylvania Black Conference On Higher Education, I served with a GIANT of Higher Education. Indeed a well deserved award to one of the best Penn State had.
