The National Black College Alumni Hall of Fame Foundation, Inc. hosted its Annual Induction Ceremony on Friday, September 23, 2022, at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. Each year, Alumni of Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) are honored for their significant contributions to their respective institution.
This year, Benedict College celebrates two inductees, its 14th and first female President and CEO, Dr. Roslyn Clark Artis, and Alumnus I. S. Leevy Johnson. Attorney Johnson has been practicing law for over forty years and is recognized as one of the top criminal attorneys.
“I am deeply honored to be recognized by my alma mater, West Virginia State (College) University and inducted into the National Black Alumni Hall of Fame, said Dr. Artis. “It is imperative that individuals who have matriculated through HBCUs and achieved a measure of personal and professional success be highlighted as examples of the transformative power and educational quality of these extraordinary universities.”
“The Hall of Fame is dedicated to the growth and development of the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities,” noted Thomas W. Dortch, Jr., Chairman of the Hall of Fame Board. “We are committed to securing supplemental scholarships for students attending HBCUs, as well as highlighting the tremendous accomplishments of distinguished alumni of these institutions.”
