What a powerful moment at the Alcorn State University Midwinter Conference in Memphis. Pelicia Hall, Executive Vice President and Chief Regulatory Officer of ViaPath Technologies and President of the Alcorn State University Alumni Association, and Carla Kirkland, CEO of The Kirkland Group and Alumni Fundraising Chair, continue to exemplify what it truly means to lead with purpose. Both women have built distinguished, high-impact careers in their respective fields. Yet what stands out even more is their unwavering commitment to serve. Whether in corporate leadership, national consulting, or alumni engagement, they consistently choose service over spotlight. Their work reminds us that legacy is not built by titles alone, but by lifting others, strengthening institutions, and investing in the next generation. Alcorn excellence. Alcorn service. Alcorn leadership.
