Description
Dr. Calvin D. Jamison grew up knowing he was going to attend college, the only question was where? He was born and raised in Martinsville, Virginia and upon visiting Virginia Tech, he ultimately decided to attend. A triple Hokie, Jamison received his undergraduate degree in 1977, master’s in 1981, and PhD in 1988.
In this interview, Jamison talks about his time at Virginia Tech, particularly in relation to being one of the few African Americans on campus, and his efforts in building a fellowship between African American students. He served on the Human Relations Council, a precursor to BSA, to recruit more students, which he continued on in his professional career.
