Tennessee State University The gift coincides with AKA’s


HBCU Endowment initiative, which looks to award $10 million to these


institutions by 2022. “We are trying to assist students


and help retain them to continue with their education,” Chase said. “This funding from Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is definitely going to be a big plus in helping to accomplish that goal.” The Executive Director of the


TSU Foundation, Betsy Jackson- Mosley, added, “The TSU Foundation is very grateful for the support received from the AKA Foundation for student scholarships. “Scholarships are very important to attract the best and brightest and to help students stay in


school.” The financial support and bench


dedication were two of several service projects taking place during the AKA’s 2019 Leadership Seminar in Nashville,


TN June 27-30. In a litany at the dedication,

by Dr. Norma S. White, 25th president of AKA, the


group acknowledged the significant contributions of Dr. Glover in leadership, education, community


service and philanthropy. “As we dedicated


this commemorative bench in honor of the


30th International President of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Dr. Glenda Glover, we take pride in her leadership and the many contributions that she has made to the sorority, Tennessee State University and other noteworthy organizations,” the group said. “May this bench be a permanent reminder of the significant accomplishments of Dr. Glover.”


Glover, a native of Memphis


and the eighth and first female president of TSU, became the 30th international president of AKA in July 2018. Immediately upon taking the helm, she sent a clear message that education would remain a priority for the organization,


especially


supporting the nation’s HBCUs. She launched HBCU for Life: A Call to Action and signature program College Admissions Process, also known as #CAP, to promote and market HBCUs.


Saying that she leads by


example, Glover donated $50,000 to the sorority’s Educational Advancement Foundation to further emphasize her commitment. She made that same commitment to TSU when she became president of her alma mater in 2013.
