Tlou, Obama honoured

Tlou, a member of Dillard’s class of 1977, was honoured for exemplifying the ideals of the university; of applying knowledge, research, creativity, and the highest ethical standards to improve the human condition.

The University says Tlou’s liberal arts education and her bachelor of science degree in nursing prepared her well for a distinguished professional career as an educator, health worker, international servant, a legislator, a regional director of a United Nations entity, actress, and most importantly, to serve as a servant leader in Botswana and Africa, reads part of the citation for the honorary degree.
