The Office of AHANA Student Programs is pleased to announce that it is accepting nominations to the newly established Dr. Donald Brown Award.  The deadline for nominations is Friday, December 18, 2009.   Click here for the nomination form. 

 

The Brown Award cash prize was established in honor of the former director of the Office of AHANA Student Programs and every year honors a senior who throughout his/her undergraduate career has made extraordinary contributions to the BC community in ways that have benefited AHANA students in the areas of leadership, service, and academic development. 

 

Dr. Donald Brown was Director of the Office of AHANA Student Programs from 1978 to 2005.  Under his leadership, the name of the office was changed from “Office of Minority Student Programs” to the Office of AHANA Student Programs.  He was also credited with initiating the following programs: the Options Through Education Transitional Summer Program (OTE), the Thea Bowman Scholars Program, the Benjamin Elijah Mays Mentoring Program, and the Jaime Escalante Tutorial Program, among others.  He was instrumental in the development of many university-wide initiatives including the Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee and the Affiliates Program.
