Pollard, Sr. Rationale: Other than the earned doctorate, the greatest recognition the University can award is the honorary degree. An honorary doctoral degree is granted for the purpose of honoring those who exemplify the ideas of the University through significant achievements and contributions to society. The awarding of honorary doctoral degrees by the University is an extension of its role as a unique institution in our society devoted to the discovery, transmission, and preservation of knowledge. Summary: The late David E. Pollard, Sr., graduated from FAMU in 1963 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. In addition, he was the Distinguished Military Graduate (top graduate) of the FAMU Army ROTC (Reserved Officers’ Training Corps) class. In 1964, he was inducted into the FAMU ROTC Hall of Fame. In 1975, he earned a Master of Arts degree in Education Administration from Michigan State University. A lifelong learner, LTC Pollard became a doctoral student at the age of 75 in the Education Leadership program at Nova Southeastern University. LTC Pollard’s professional career had two distinct phases: active duty service in the Army for 24 years and service as a Senior Army Instructor in the U.S. Army JROTC (Junior Reserved Officers’ Training Corps) for 21 years. Within the educational arena, he had a “can do” spirit that evolved into his educational philosophy that all students can learn, learning should be fun; and students must participate in the learning process. He received several awards/accolades during his tenue as an instructor.
