THE BARBARA JORDAN-MICKEY LELAND SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND THURGOOD MARSHALL SCHOOL OF LAW TO BESTOW THE LEADERSHIP AWARD TO THE HONORABLE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON

THIS HISTORIC MOMENT AT TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY MAGNIFIES THE RESPECT AND HONOR THAT THE NAME OF THE HONORABLE BARBARA JORDAN COMMANDS


Houston, TX –
The Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs and the Thurgood Marshall School of Law are honored to announce the presentation of the Barbara Jordan Public-Private Leadership Award to the Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Barbara Jordan Medallion will be bestowed on its first ever recipient which is conferred to a deserving woman anywhere in the world who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year or years in any honorable field of human endeavor in the public or private sector. The ceremony will take place on Thursday, June 4, 2015 at 2:30 pm on the campus of Texas Southern University in the Health and Physical Education Arena located at 3100 Cleburne Street (corners of Blodgett and Ennis).

“Thanks to the vision of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, this honor and award in the name of the Honorable Barbara Jordan will be presented to hundreds and even thousands of honorees for years to come,” said TSU Chairman of the Board Glenn O. Lewis. “We are thankful for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s continued leadership and service to Texas Southern University and the 18th Congressional District – the home of Barbara Jordan. As TSU is an urban-serving institution, we want to invite others to the campus for up close and personal conversations with our students and community about issues that are important to them.”

TSU President Dr. John M. Rudley states “The award, like Barbara Jordan, focuses not on status, but measurable accomplishments on the national and even international stages.”

TSU Law School Dean Dannye Holley says “Awarding the first Medallion that bears Barbara Jordan’s name to Hillary Clinton is fitting because this award is geared towards recognizing the life time contributions that an American woman has made to our national public life.”

The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton was selected as the inaugural recipient of this prestigious award because of her many works in her role as First Lady, United States Senator, and as Secretary of State. Her courage and determination as a young woman fighting for early child care and children’s health care, to her work as a seasoned public servant fighting for human rights for girls and women around the world and her service to the most vulnerable in our society makes her deserving of the distinction in receiving the inaugural award.
