Hello Alumni,
Connecting with the past…
On September 13, 2019, Dr. Gordon Morgan and Dr. Margaret Clark were honored with residential hall dedications. Many of us have fond memories of being taught, advised, mentored, coached and yes, also being reprimanded by one or both of these icons. They encouraged each of us to give 110% and strive to be better than our peers. It is most fitting that their accomplishments, contributions and successes are being recognized and memorialized with a residential dedication. Please join me in congratulating Dr. Morgan and Dr. Clark.
