“I would like to tell the students of WSSU that what is to come will be special,” he said. “This is a landmark year, 125 years of excellence and achievement, and I want you all to know that the Hunter Administration will be an administration of promise, hard work and integrity. We will do everything in our power to represent our students in the fullest capacity and will exuberate governance in its fullest capacity.”
