The lamppost near the northwest corner of the Sociology Building on the quad was dedicated Oct. 31 in the memory of Dr. Danny Pirtle, lecturer of criminal justice. The dedication plaque seen below reads “Dedicated to the memory of Dr. Danny Pirtle Jr., beloved professor, colleague and friend. Let the works that I’ve done speak for me.”
Shown in the above photo at the dedication are Dr. Mark McCloud (first from left), vice chancellor for access and engagement, and Chancellor Yancy Freeman Sr. (first from right). Pirtle’s family members are also shown, including his mother, Annie, shown to the left of Freeman.
