JSU’s second annual First Lady’s Scholarship Luncheon aims to raise $75,000 to help “well-deserving, academically sound students.” The event, with keynote speaker and Tennessee State University President Dr. Glenda Baskin Glover, will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, in the Jackson Convention Complex.
First Lady Deborah E. Bynum said, “We are committed to helping our students tackle the obstacles that they face, and financial obstacles are no different. It is my desire to use the majority of all funds raised to support our students.”
During the event, guests will hear an inspiring message from Glover, who has served as chief executive at TSU since January 2013. She is its first female president. Under her helm, Glover has increased student enrollment, alumni fundraising and research dollars. As well, she’s the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including being named the 2018 Thurgood Marshall College Fund HBCU President of the Year.
In 2013, Diverse Issues in Higher Education’s listed Glover as one of the “Top 25 Women in Higher Education.” A certified public accountant and attorney, she is one of only two African-American women to hold the Ph.D.-CPA-JD combination in the country. Also, she serves as International President of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.
Meanwhile, Bynum is urging all stakeholders to join the effort to help JSU reach its luncheon’s goal by completing the Sponsorship Form.
