...team's quick exit from the playoffs, Abeles career will endure as the standard of excellence for years to come. As she receives her diploma and embarks upon the next challenges in her young life, you can be sure that she will approach life with the same fervor and passion that she exhibited on the field over the past four years...

From Louis Armstrong to Lauryn Hill from Marvin Gaye to Michael Jackson, the Afro-American tradition has been infused with rhythm and blues, fervor and funk. Thus it seems only appropriate that the Afro-American Studies Department has been endowed with a chair for a permanent professorship dedicated to the study of black music. We wholeheartedly welcome the new addition...
