Address to the Awardees

You are joining an elite group of Winston-Salem State University graduates. As seasoned alum I am excited and hopeful to see the next generation of alums ready to take on leadership roles in their respective careers, in their communities and in the National Alumni Association. You are the epitome of our mantra “Enter to Learn and Depart to serve”. With this honor comes responsibility. It is your responsibility to serve as a role model for the current students and other young alumni who will follow in your footsteps. It is your responsibility to be an ambassador for Winston-Salem State University. It is your responsibility to tell your story. Historically Black Colleges and Universities are under attack. Many are even questioning their relevance and the products they produce. Recognition like the one you are receiving tonight is in itself a testimony to the great works our Historically Black College and Universities in general and Winston-Salem State University in particular are doing.
