Achievements, African heritage celebrated at Elon University’s Donning of the Kente
In South Africa, there is a common greeting known as “sawubona.” It translates to “I see you.” There are a few different responses to this greeting. One can just be “Yes, I see you, too.” But the exchange can deepen, according to Randy Williams, vice president for inclusive excellence at Elon University. This exchange was at the heart of Elon’s Donning of the Kente ceremony, which celebrates graduates with African roots, that took place May 21 in Alumni Gym.
