Tlou, Obama honoured

Monday, May 12, 2014

Botswana’s health specialist Dr Sheila Tlou was on Friday honoured alongside the US First Lady Michelle Obama and another US Senator, Mary Landrieu, with an honorary doctorate at Dillard University.

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.
