Fort Valley State University students, faculty and staff known Dawn Della DeVeaux as a vivacious, compassionate advocate. The administrator is passionate about higher education. The student ombudsman and assistant to the vice president of academic affairs revealed her ultimate career goal when she interviewed with writer Christina Milton.
