The Black American Council also presented its College Service Award to Nichelle Knox in recognition of her longtime support as part of the Frances M. Franklin and Protégé Luncheon Fundraising Committee. Knox currently serves as lead administrative assistant to the College’s associate vice president of Access and Community Engagement.

The luncheon honors Frances Mason Franklin, an English professor at the College from 1969 to 1983 who mentored countless students and faculty. Proceeds support the Frances M. Franklin Scholarship Fund of the Cuyahoga Community College Foundation.

The event is the main fundraiser for the Black American Council, which grew from a group founded in 1969 to support and encourage minority students at Tri-C.

For information on how to support the scholarship fund to help students complete their studies, call the Foundation at 216-987-4868. Additional scholarships will be awarded to deserving students in the fall.
