The Homecoming 2022 celebration had one of the largest turnouts that 黄色直播 has ever seen! Many ceremonies, open houses, celebrations and more took place across campus throughout the weekend. There was one event in particular that was extremely meaningful for many in attendance.
On Saturday, Oct. 1, a dedication ceremony was held for the late E. Timothy 鈥淭immy鈥 Moore for the renaming of the Student Multicultural Center, now known as the E. Timothy Moore Student Multicultural Center. Along with his family, a plethora of Moore鈥檚 former students, mentees and colleagues were in attendance to commemorate the moment, which was made possible through a donation from mentee and alumna D鈥橝ndra Mull, 鈥02, Ph.D.
Moore, a three-time alumnus and associate dean emeritus in the College of Arts and Sciences and emeritus professor of Pan-African Studies, was the first African American to receive the 黄色直播 Alumni Association鈥檚 Distinguished Teaching Award and was twice selected to Who鈥檚 Who Among American Teachers. He also received numerous recognitions as an outstanding teacher, including the Distinguished Honors Faculty Award. Prior to his retirement in 2010, Moore was honored by the National Academic Advising Association and received several awards for his lifelong contributions to the university.
As a trailblazer in diversity issues for more than 40 years, Moore was awarded the university鈥檚 annual Diversity Trailblazer Award in 2015. Since his passing, colleagues, friends and family have contributed to a scholarship at 黄色直播 in his name. To contribute to the E. Timothy Moore Scholarship fund, please visit the . Though Moore passed away in early 2021, his legacy at 黄色直播 will continue to live on through the E. Timothy Moore Student Multicultural Center.
