Dr. Veronica Yon, Associate Professor of English and chapter advisor, introduced the speaker, Dr. Ray Mobley, Professor and Associate Administrator for the FAMU Cooperative Extension Center in the College of Engineering Sciences, Technology, and Agriculture (CESTA).

An alumnus of the Kappa Iota Chapter, Dr. Mobley referred to the distinction of being the keynote speaker as a “full circle” moment for him and recognized the giants upon whose shoulders he has stood through the years. Calling himself a “behind the scenes” person, Mobley told the inductees, “We need change, not by what you say but by what you do!” He also reminded the honorees of the biblical truth: “To whom much is given much is required.”

Dr. Mobley continued by listing qualities, such as self-respect, loyalty, faith in God, honesty, and confidence that he considered crucial to the next phase of the inductees’ successful journeys. Following his inspirational address, Dr. Yon, the chapter advisor, and President Gould presented Dr. Mobley with a certificate of appreciation.
