Dean Powery Honored at Celebration of Samuel DuBois Cook's Legacy

At the recent Samuel DuBois Cook Awards Ceremony, Chapel Dean Luke Powery was honored with the Cook Society’s Raymond Gavins Distinguished Faculty Award.

At the awards dinner, Dean Powery said: “Dr. Cook was a man who was not only a great scholar but a great servant. This dinner brings together people, a cross-section of university folks, community folks, bridging races, cultures—and that’s what he worked for, that’s what he believed in.”
