Our prayers and condolences are extended from Elmer's TRIO family at GSU! We love him and his time and interaction with us will never be forgotten. Elmer was given the I'mPossible Award at our annual awards brunch in April. He was not able to attend but came by on Monday, October 9 for a scheduled appointment. His TRIO Advisor, Ms. Willingham was able to present his award to him. We want the family to know that we believed in Elmer and the goals he had sat for himself! We recognize his hard work and dedication to his academic success! We wanted him to know that nothing was impossible as long as he believed in himself. We believe he did! We also know that with God, ALL things are possible! God bless you!
