Jeremy Daniel truly is a role model.
After mentoring more than 15 individuals professionally and in the community — and his own four children daily — he still draws inspiration from time spent with others.
“Knowing what mentorship did for me as a mentee, it’s a privileged burden for me to pay it forward, to respect and honor someone who took time out of their life to sit down with me. Now, I get to continue that spirit,” Daniel said.
His efforts to build a better community were recognized recently with the President’s Fulfilling the Dream Award. Presented at the Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Breakfast held Jan. 17, the award recognizes students, faculty, staff and community members who exemplify the words and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
