ASU DEKALB: RUNNING AND WALKING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS!
On Saturday, June 28, 2014, at Grant Park in Atlanta Georgia,
more than 3000 supporters of Historically Black Colleges and Universities participated in the Atlanta HBCU Alliance's 5K/10K Run and Walk for Scholarships.
Hundreds of the participants represented Albany State University, with the ASU DeKalb Alumni Chapter leading the way. We also met a number of future ASU DeKalb members. ASU DeKalb President Tamara Nelson says, "The theme for the race was, Run For You, Run For Them, Run For Us, and that we did. Albany State was well represented!"
