Our Crowdfunding Groups
The Derrick Griffith Servant Leader Award was established to honor the memory and legacy of alumnus Derrick Griffith, who was an active student and community leader dedicated to the service and mentorship of others. This award is given to a first generation college student of junior or senior standing who has demonstrated leadership through on or off campus service to others, involvement in student organizations/activities, and a commitment to mentorship.
Derrick was larger than life and everyone speaks volumes of his tenacity and work being the voice for the underserved. He challenged anyone no matter who you were, to be better than you are. He always believed, at any given time and place, you could be better and that our strength in life is to lift others up and always to challenge each other constructively. The Black Alumni Chapter (BAC) at UNC Charlotte hopes you will join them in honoring Derrick's legacy today by supporting this award in his name.
