I’m about a week late in posting this. I want to thank University of Mount Olive President Ed Croom and his team for hosting a reception for The Golden LEAF Foundation Scholars at UOM! This was the third annual gathering of scholars on campus. We met new scholars and missed a few that graduated this past May. We wish both current and alumni scholars all the best! Along with my colleagues Marilyn Chism, Arlena Dongilli, and Savannah Russell, we were pleased to have Jeffery Lee, one of our Board Members join us as well. @ncLEAFchief
