This is a deckhead that helps describe what the story is about
Grambling State University held its Commencement Ceremony on Friday, December 13, 2024 at the Fred Hobdy Assembly Center. The ceremony was a festive occasion paying tribute to the over 300 graduates from the class of Fall 2024 for their commitment to completing their educational pursuits despite setbacks, roadblocks or any challenges they encountered.
The President, Dr. Martin Lemelle, set the tone for the event by calling it “a day wrapped in love… the deep, abiding love that carries, uplifts and transforms.” He followed with the presentation of the Highest Ranking Graduate, the Valedictorian, Miss NaToria Tarrant, with an overall GPA of 3.88, who gave a touching and inspirational speech to her fellow 2024 graduates. The ceremony moved quickly along with David Aubrey, President of AT&T Louisiana and a GSU Alum (Class of 1995), taking the stage to introduce the keynote speaker, Dr. Percy “Master P” Miller, Hip-Hop Mogul, Producer, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist.
