Congratulations to our July HBCU of the Month, Central State University and President Dr. Cynthia Jackson-Hammond, where she was named a finalist for the 2015 HBCU Awards in the category of Female President of the Year.
The HBCU Awards is the first national awards event to recognize the influence and impact of Historically Black Colleges and Universities on American culture. Created by HBCU Digest, the awards honor winners in the fields of leadership, arts, athletics, research, and community engagement.
Finalists are annually selected based upon the impact of nominees' achievement on institutional development, and for media coverage earned for the institution by way of the nominee. The winners will be announced July 10.
Dr. Jackson-Hammond is the only President/Chancellor of D.J's Music Site HBCU Campaign Fund's 2015 HBCU Supported Institutions nominated. We are rooting for Dr. Jackson-Hammond all the way! Good luck to her and Central State!
