I had the extreme honor of meeting someone whom I would consider to be a very distinguished member of your organization. Her name is Dr. Alice H. Young. She was initiated into your University of Rochester chapter. If I even tried to list all of her accomplishments we'd be here ALL day!
(Just a few though... She was the first African American to be accepted into the doctoral program at Cornell. She wrote her thesis on school integration...pretty risky for 1962!!! She was a founding member of the Monroe county community college. She started an internship program at MCC for deserving students in entering the education field. )
She and her husband have a camp close to where my family does. I had the pleasure of spending some time with she and her husband, and hearing some of her fascinating stories about the old days. I was excited that she knew my NPC GLO, and she raved about our philanthropy.
Sorry to crash...but I just wanted to share this amazing experience with you all. For being 80-something, she is still doing so much for Alpha Kappa Alpha (scholarship programs) and her community! I hope to see her again soon!
