2023 U.S. Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award

ALARA's Vice-President International, Prof Emmanuel Tetteh, recently received the 2023 U.S. Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award (PVSA) for his dedication to action-oriented service learning activities, voluntary community-based services, civic engagement activities, and faith-based initiatives in keeping with ALARA’s mission, vision, and values. The Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award represents the highest level of the PVSA, given to individuals who contribute more than 4,000 hours of service in their lifetime. Please join me in congratulating Emmanuel for this remarkable achievement.
