It is evident that Alexan- der’s young life epitomizes Achievement and that he sees obstacles as opportu- nities to achieve in spite of; not because of. We are thankful to Angela and Clifton Dawes, Alexander’s parents – for God’s most precious gift to You has been a blessing to the Noble Clan of Kappa Alpha Psi. Therefore, let it be known that our Brother exhibits the five objectives of Kappa Alpha Psi and that his diamond embodies the characteristics of Founder
Grant. He is a student of Achievement, a Leader among men, and a Vanguard of excellence. Here's to Guy L. Grant Award recipient Alexander Dawes! “I would like to thank my parents, both of whom are here tonight; they re- ally invested in me and my sister by taking the time as immigrants to come to this country. They taught me the value of education and what it means to continuously work hard.”
