Chancellor Reaves fires away.
It was WSSU Title Night at BB&T Ballpark on Monday night, Aug. 16, as the Winston-Salem Dash took on the Salem Red Sox. The WSSU faithful saw Chancellor Donald J. Reaves throw out the first pitch of the game to WSSU interim head baseball coach Kevin Ritsche.
It was a great night of fun but it was also a night when a WSSU alumnus and his wife showed their support for the university.

Cleveland (’60) and Marlene Ellison presented Chancellor Reaves with a check to endow a scholarship for education majors. As Cleveland put it, “I’m really pleased that we made the decision to set up this endowment. Through it, we’ll be helping students who don’t have the resources or family support we had.”
This event was one of several WSSU has hosted during the season as a partner with the Winston-Salem Dash as part of a dual promotion agreement. There will be more opportunities in the weeks ahead to support the Dash and WSSU.
