A Redbird alum’s journey from protest to president
Dr. George Pruitt ’68, M.S. ’70, LH.D. ’94, saw the inside of a university president’s office for the first time in the fall of 1967 when he occupied it with other members of the Black Student Association (BSA) to issue their demands to increase diversity at Illinois State University. However, this would not be his last time in a president’s office, as today he is one of longest serving university presidents nationwide.
