WHEREAS, the strategic theme of "Morehouse Beyond Borders" has included milestone successes such as the creation of the Center for Black Entrepreneurship with the Black Economic Alliance and Spelman College as well as the establishment of both the Black Men's Research Institute and the Andrew Young Center for Global Leadership's Higher Education in Prisons program; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this distinguished individual be appropriately honored.
