"I had the privilege of working with the student teams over the last couple of months and every zoom meeting was amazing. Every time I thought I had it figured out where they were going they would throw out another great idea and I'd say, 'Wow' these students are sharp.

"As the council person for District 1 in the City of Tuskegee, which represents Tuskegee University, as the Council liaison for the HBCU Smart Cities Challenge, as a Tuskegee native, and as a Tuskegee Institute, (now University) alumnae, I am delighted to be a part of this collaboration.

Since the days of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the symbiotic relationship between the Institute (now University) and the surrounding community has been acknowledged as critical for both entities and this opportunity to further enhance that relationship is a sure win-win!"
