The Office of Academic Affairs wishes to announce that Dr. William Sutton will serve as the speaker for the 2010 Annual Honors Convocation. Dr. Sutton is a highly esteemed and accomplished academician, professional and philanthropist. After enrolling at Dillard University in 1949 on an academic scholarship, he served as class president during his sophomore, junior and senior years. He also participated in drama as well as football (serving as the team captain) before graduating with his B.A. degree in 1953. After completing his M.S. and doctoral degrees at Howard University, Dr. Sutton launched a very successful career. Given his many accomplishments, we are excited to host one of our own.
