Tom Joyner Foundation selects GSU
GRAMBLING---- The Tom Joyner Foundation has selected Grambling State University to participate in the annual school of the month program for 2008. GSU's month is August. President Horace A. Judson announced the partnership today during a press conference.
Eleven (11) Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU'S) are chosen by the foundation to participate in the School of the Month scholarship/fundraising program every year. The effort allows alumni, parents, students, employees, the business community, organizations and the community at-large to support the university through the Tom Joyner Foundation. "We are very excited about this opportunity. We will encourage our graduates and supporters across the country to support the university through this process as we work to meet our goal," remarked President Judson. The goal is $500,000. The university is in the public phase of its five-year $30 million capital campaign which was launched last November. Money raised as a part of the School of the Month efforts will enhance the capital campaign.
