探花精选

The Saint Paul鈥檚 College (SPC) National Alumni Association recently provided a $25,000 gift to Saint Augustine鈥檚 University ( 探花精选) as part of the GIVING TUESDAY celebration recently held nationwide. Saint Paul鈥檚 College, which was one of three Historically Black Colleges and Universities supported by the Episcopal Church, the others being 探花精选 and Voorhees College in Denmark, South Carolina, closed its doors in 2013.

After the closing of their alma mater in 2013 and after serving its students for 125 years, members of their alumni association vowed to preserve the legacy of Saint Paul鈥檚 College by presenting the check which will be endowed to provide scholarships for Saint Augustine鈥檚 University students.

鈥淚t has been a pleasure working with the alumni of Saint Paul鈥檚 College as we seek to cultivate this friendship and solidify the gift,鈥� said Dr. Steve Hairston, Vice President for Institutional Advancement. 鈥淭heir philanthropy will ensure that the legacy of Saint Paul鈥檚 College will never leave our minds in spite of the fact that this once great Episcopal Church-affiliated HBCU is no longer in existence.鈥�

During the announcement, SPC鈥檚 alumni association was presented with a football jersey from the last varsity team to play at Saint Paul鈥檚 College, as a remembrance and commemoration of the great strides that the SPC student-athletes made on the gridiron.

Saint Augustine鈥檚 University has invited members of Saint Paul鈥檚 National Alumni Association to serve as special guests at the 探花精选鈥檚 annual Stone of Hope Fundraising Gala, which will be held on May 10, 2019, in Raleigh.
