A well-deserved honor for Dan Porterfield, the President of Franklin & Marshall College

A well-deserved honor for Dan Porterfield, the President of Franklin & Marshall College and my friend and fellow ed warrior:
Dear Friends in the Education Community,
I'm writing to share the exciting news that this Friday, Sept. 30, the White House will recognize Franklin & Marshall College President Daniel R. Porterfield as a "Champion of Change for College Opportunity." Please read more here about this tremendous honor for Dan and for F&M. You can also view a short video about F&M's work to expand college opportunity here.
We are very pleased to note that F&M friend and partner Nicole F. Hurd, founder and CEO of the College Advising Corps, will also be recognized as a Champion of Change. F&M has hosted for many years the Pennsylvania College Advising Corps, which provides college advising resources in rural and urban high schools across the Commonwealth.
Dan will accept this award at a White House ceremony Friday at 2 p.m. If your schedules allow, you will be able to view the event via the White House's live stream at whitehouse.gov/live.
Please join me in congratulating Dan on this great recognition of his work and of Franklin & Marshall College.
All the best,
Kevin Burke
Vice President for Communications
Franklin & Marshall College
