As the vice president of the African American Alumni Council of Georgia College & State University (GCSU) I want to congratulate on the worthy honor that has been bestowed on you. I want to thank you for your work that is truly a great blueprint for African Americans like myself and the council that I am part of, who are trying hard to accomplish what you did at our predominantly white institution. Who knows, maybe you can come speak to our council, our college president and his cabinet, and admissions about what it takes to get more African Americans at our fine liberal arts university. Your wisdom would be a gem to hear.
