Blue Note Reflection – President Paulette Dillard at Shaw University

Today the entire Shaw community mourns the passing of St. Augustine’s President, Dr. Irving Pressley McPhail. We also extend our condolences to his wife, Dr. Christine McPhail, along with his children, Dr. Kamilah McKissick and Mr. Ralph Bessard.

We grieve deeply for the St. Augustine community, his family, and friends. Our hearts are heavy for all HBCUs when we have a fallen leader.

It’s rare for a city like Raleigh to share two HBCUs. And our hearts are just as close as our work and the proximity of our campuses.
