Dr. William R. Harvey Hampton University named Citizen of the Year
Hampton, Va. – Hampton University President Dr. William R. Harvey has been named the Daily Press Citizen of Year for 2010.
Every year since 1989, the Daily Press has named a Citizen of the Year, an individual or group that has made an exceptional contribution to the community. Harvey was honored for his exceptional service and dedication to Hampton University and the community.
From the Daily Press article:
It was never inevitable that Hampton University would open a sophisticated cancer treatment facility. Almost all the other proton centers in the United States are affiliated with high-profile research universities, medical schools or teaching hospitals. But in 2010, the freestanding Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute switched on its cyclotron, opened its doors and began offering treatment – and hope – to people with cancer.
In recognition of that achievement, the capstone of more than three decades of contributions to the local, state and national communities, the Daily Press honors HU President Dr. William R. Harvey as its Citizen of the Year for 2010.
