This accolade recognizes alumni who have made notable and documentable contributions to the University and their professions and/or categories.

Leaders of a New Foundation
The Psi Alpha Weekly Mentoring Program had a mentoring session via Zoom with three past mentees who are now attending college: Darrius Govan (Blinn College), Faiszon Reese (Highland College), and Bruce Adams (Edward Waters University). The guest speakers talked about what they would tell their younger selves. Key points made by past mentees were: (1) Be sure to perform in class because your GPA decides if you are eligible for D-I athletics. (2) Overall work-ethic. (3) Be careful of the company that you carry (friends, associates, etc.).
