BHM may be over but the celebration of Black life and excellence continues at LGR. Congratulations to our College Success Program Manager, Clennie Murphy, who recently welcomed his firstborn.

"LGR provides me the opportunity to empower, educate, and encourage the next generation of leaders. It is our job to lift one another as we climb, and I want to model this for my son and students to show them how important it is to cultivate a future where everyone in your community is growing around you." - Clennie Murphy
