EXCELSIOR ALUMNA CHAIRS CONGRESS COMMITTEE

Message from the PRESIDENT

Greetings Fellow Alumni and Friends!,

As we close in on the end of another year, we are all still learning to adapt to a new way of doing things, bearing in mind that life is all an ebb and flow. While some have suffered hardship, others have forged ahead, venturing into new and exciting life paths. I am so proud of our community, especially the dynamic adaptability of our Board Members; somehow, they transformed our traditional ways of doing things in such a short period while maintaining the integrity of the Association during a tough medical and economic climate—all in service to our Alma Mater.

EXCELSIOR ALUMNA CHAIRS CONGRESS COMMITTEE

In a fortuitous coincidence, Excelsior alumna, Dr. Goulda Downer, (XLCR ’77) recently chaired a Congressional committee on Disaster Preparedness in Washington DC.

Meanwhile, The Associate Professor in the Howard University School of Medicine was recently recognised with a citation by the Attorney General of the State of Maryland for her activist role as president of the Caribbean Political Action Committee
