Greetings Fellow Alumni, Prospective Students, Parents and Friends:
I would like to take this time to say thank you for the opportunity to lead your local Memphis Chapter of Jackson State University National Alumni Association. It is both a privilege and honor to continue to serve for a second term. I would also like to congratulate our executive team for 2009-2011.
As we continue to climb the ladder of success as a “Premier” alumni chapter, we must continue to press forward. As scripture states, “to whom much is given much is required”, we must continue to support our chapter as well as our great university.
Please remember to check our website for regular updates, news and announcements. I look forward to working with each of you over the next two years. Again thank you.
