The gracious invitation was extended by College of Arts & Sciences Dean Channa Prakash PhD and Assistant Dean Dr. Joe Jimmeh; with renowned faculty and basic science researchers Dr. Marcia Martinez, Dr. Richard Whittington, Dr. Albert Russell, Dr. Clayton Yates; and Professor of Mathematics Dr. Mohammad Qazi to attend.

I am especially eager to tour the historic TU campus, and meet two-time graduate Dr. Roberta Troy who is Founding Director of the Health Disparities Institute for Research and Education (HDIRE). As a native of Baltimore, Maryland, this is an important issue to me. And, Dr. Troy was just appointed new University Provost. I understand she is a true academic dynamo and congratulate her, collegially.

Of course, I will be sure to order a slice of Dorothy Restaurant’s specialty key-lime pie at the Kellogg Conference Center during the post-reception dinner. Yummy!

HOPE TO SEE YOU, THERE!

  1. WHAT IS KNOWLEDGE?

    Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something like facts, information, descriptions or skills acquired through experience, schooling and education by perceiving, discovering or learning. Such basic science education, tools, techniques and medical career knowledge was a common theme of yesterday’s visit to Tuskegee University as I was reminded of this famous sculpture on the beautiful campus.

    Here, artist Charles Keck portrayed Booker T. Washington’s goal of bringing his people a better life through education. He is depicted lifting the “veil of ignorance” symbolized by a terrified slave. The slave holds a book representing knowledge thru education as he crouches on a plow and anvil, representing tools of agriculture and industry.

    But, what is knowledge today? Forgive my meager attempt to answer this modern query.
