The University continues to closely monitor the spread of COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, as additional cases are confirmed in the United States and other countries. The University continues to formulate and adjust its plans as needed.
It is with profound and great sadness that we note the passing of Mrs. Saphronia Drake on Saturday, January 30, 2021. For more than two decades, with boundless generosity, an engaging sense of humor, acute professionalism, and an unparalleled commitment and dedication to students, she served as the Senior Administrative Assistant to the Department of Political Science, the Graduate Program Administrator and as the Administrative Assistant to the Chair.
Mrs. Drake began her service in the Political Science Department in 1995. Her ability to master tasks with efficiency and precision became legendary.
Mrs. Saphronia Drake was a rare gem, a personification of motherly love and humanity.
