Reflecting on the recognition Okolo said, “I am incredibly honored to be nominated by my colleagues and chosen for this award. Seeing the students I’ve helped throughout their journey at Davis walk across the commencement stage is often its own reward, but I am also happy to be recognized by the College.”
