“Women’s colleges, if they’re going to thrive, we need a mega community…We need corporate philanthropy, we need major gifts from donors. We also need the involvement of government [increasing funding opportunities] the same way we’ve seen with [HBCUs].”

Still feeling emo 🥹 after receiving this #OfficialResolution from @VoteWorrell due to the persistent efforts of my BAS 23 Steering Committee. It’s been 10 years since I started my journey with @AAAA_Simmons of @SimmonsUniv, first as VP and now ending as President.

What an honor it was to give Betty her flowers while she’s with us. To be able to be a witness and a participant in her legacy as President of @AAAA_Simmons, is an honor and a privilege that I do not take lightly. 🌹🥹
