Grambling State University President Rick Gallot was recognized with the HBCUGrow LEAD award for “Best Leadership” at the group’s 2017 annual LEAD Conference in Raleigh, N.C.
Gallot, who was nominated in his first year as GSU's 10th president, was recognized for his energetic, student-centered approach to leadership and the university’s growing list of recent accomplishments, including record enrollment and a recent $1.2 million raised from alumni and donors in just four months.
“In your first year, any award is an honor," Gallot said. "This acknowledgment from HBCUGrow is significant because it means our peers and others across the nation can see the progress with our students and campus.
"It’s a privilege to lead Grambling because of our students, faculty and administrative community members. They’re the ones who make the vision possible.”
Gallot is also reviving the school's nursing program, has secured seed money for a new library and another $2 million in federal grands and contract funding.
