The Hampton University Office of Alumni Affairs has announced the newest members of its “Forty Under 40 Alumni Recognition Society”. The 2020 class of honorees hails from 26 states and represents a diverse group of professionals who have continued to blaze new trails in their respective fields. Included on the list:
Bro. Brandon Tilghman
Class of 2005
Bro. Lawrence Jones and Keys to Functional Organizations
Congratulations to Bro. Dr. Lawrence Jones II, Ph.D. for his new co-authorship: Organizational Metaphors: Faith as Key to Functional Organizations”. Bro. Jones created an original academic metaphor for organizational leadership dysfunction.
An excerpt:
“A Pygmalion Mirage” is when the organizational culture, often influenced by the leader, becomes overly confident with their perception of a situation without gaining the full details of the environment and circumstances. The illusion of success as the result of a mismatch between the organization’s design strategy and the environmental conditions for the approach to users can be very detrimental for an organization that has blurred vision (May 2020).

On August 13, Bro. Anthone Bond, Bro. Charles Franklin and Bro. Kala Kanyama (not pictured) assisted the Pupil Personnel Department of the Howard County Public School System with the distribution of gift bags filled with school and living supplies for students.
