When
I was coming to Shaw University, a colleague said, “What a wonderful
assignment God has given you!” And a wonderful assignment — and
challenge — it is. I have been privileged to work with brilliant
young minds and personalities who have and continue to make a
difference on this campus, in their communities, in academia and in
companies, agencies and corporations around the country and even
around the world. We’re also very proud of our Honors College
alumni, their accomplishments and achievements. They continue to be
high achievers, and are inspirational members of our Honors College
community. I hope you consider joining this special group of
students – let us help you shine!
