Dr. Releford announces Class of 2013 gift as Chancellor Reaves and Michelle Cook, WSSU Vice Chancellor for University Advancement proudly watch.
One of the messages that WSSU Chancellor Donald Reaves has consistently spoken about has been the notion of developing a “culture of giving” within the WSSU campus community.
The Class of 2013 heard his message via the charge of University College dean Michele Releford who asked the freshmen, “Who wants to bet on their future success at WSSU,” an idea that came to her a few days before the opening of Ramdition. Most did and donated more than $500 as a class toward their success as Rams.
“The idea here was to flip the script a little bit,” she said. “Instead of leaving a parting gift as a class, they made an investment in themselves and their future success at the beginning of their journey.
“It was really amazing to watch these young people attach dollar bills to a large piece of cardboard until there was no space left,” said Releford. “They just kept coming.”
