Aggie Awards
By DAMON FORD
THE CHBOMCLE Kcnoacr __
pressed to impress and ready
to party was the call to order for
N.C. Agricultural & Technical
State University's first Aggie
Awards.
More than 500 people from
the university and community
gathered to honor six distin
guished Aggie supporters at
Embassy Suites last Friday.
^ We salute you for all you've
done for this community and
this world-class university," said
A&T Chancellor Edward Fort.
"The legacy you built will last
forever and ever." i
Four alumni Aggies were
given awards.
"Over the years I've been
involved trying to make things
better in the community," said
Ralph Shelton who received the
Individual Champion Award.
Shelton is the founder and
president of Southeast Fuels,
Inc.
Shirley Frye garnered the
Community Servant Award.
"What I got from AAT has
helped me be who I am today,"
stated Frye who is Vice Presi
dent of Community Relations
for WFMY-TV.
Two Distinguished Alumni
Awards were given to Sylvester
Daughtry and Dr. Velma
Speight.
Daughtry served the city of
Greensboro for 11 years as
Police Chief. He retired this past
January.
Speight retired as the Direc
tor of Alumni Affairs last year
but still serves as a member of
the Board of Trustees. Her tire
less work and giving will be for
ever remembered by
administrators, faculty, students
and alumni of A&T.
"She's a very committed indi
vidual (and) she cares so much
for the students. She would fight
for them and take money out of
her own pocket to pay for stu
dent's tuition," said new Alumni
Affairs Director Alan Hooker.
"I call her the Michael Jordan
of Alumni Affairs because it's
like replacing a Michael Jordan
in this industry."
The Foundation Supporter
Award went to the Joseph M.
Bryan Foundation of Greater
Greensboro. The Bryan Foun
dation seeks the implementa
tion, improvement and
enhancement of programs,
facilities, projects and organiza
tions that promote the econom
ic, cultural and recreational
enrichment of the lives of
Greensboro citizens.
The Corporate Supporter
Award was given to Dr. Alexan
der Spears, Chairman and CEO
of Lorillard Tobacco Company.
Money raised from the bene
fit will be used for academic and
athletic scholarships.
