Newspaper Editorial - NSU Gift

Finally, I got the opportunity to read my regular news sources. Yes, I admit it -- I am a news hound. In our business, public relations and communications, it is imperative that we read or at least scan diverse news sources every day. I wanted to take a moment to comment on an editorial from yesterday's local daily. Titled Generous support to Norfolk State, the editorial illustrates the significance of a $3.5 million gift to the university. This is my chance to thank the anonymous benefactor on a personal level. To the anonymous benefactor, I say: "Thank you for believing in higher education. Thank you for saying to NSU officials and the world -- your mission is sound and the education you provide is of a high-quality worthy of this investment. Thank you for your generosity."
