On Thursday, January 16th, President Barack Obama recognized Brother Lawrence Harris (Delta Mu Sigma - Athens, GA) at the White House summit on expanding college access. Lawrence went to the University of Georgia, and like a lot of first-generation college students, it wasnt easy for him, Obama said. He had to take remedial classes. He had to work two part-time jobs to make ends meet. At one point, he had to leave school for a year while he helped support his mom and his baby brother. Those are the kinds of just day-to-day challenges that a lot of these young people with enormous talent are having to overcome. Now, he stuck with it. He graduated. Brother Harris joined Phi Beta Sigma in the Fall of 2010 at the Zeta Nu Chapter of the University of Georgia. athens.patch/groups/schools/p/president-obama-recognizes-clarke-centrals-college-advisor-lawrence-harris
