Attending Cheyney University was one of the most impactful experiences of my life. Not only did I receive a quality education, but I learned what it meant to be part of a historically Black institution where young men and women were treated as family as they were being prepared academically and socially to take their rightful place in society.
At Cheyney I was exposed to outstanding scholars, both faculty members and students. I was also introduced to cultural programs, lectures, presentations and visiting artists while interacting with my peers, staff, and faculty from various ethnic and economic backgrounds.
As a student athlete and leader, I had the opportunity to serve as treasurer of the Student Body and later selected to ‘Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.’ Additionally, I was able to develop my athletic skills and learn the importance of teamwork while playing football and running track for Cheyney. All these experiences helped me become the person I am today. I was inducted into Cheyney University Sports Hall Fame ln 2000, for my accomplishments in both sports.
Throughout my four years at Cheyney I developed life-long friendships. Many through my membership in Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. where I am a Life Member, and also a member of the Men of BACA. But the most important relationship that I forged was with my wife, Kim, who is also a Cheyney graduate. We are both retired now and enjoy traveling, attending church, spending time with family, friends and especially our grandchildren.
It was my father’s hope that I attend a Black College. I am thankful that I was able to realize the dream that he had for me by becoming a Cheyney graduate.
