Receiving Award from Prince George's County School Board Vice Chair Dr. Kenneth Harris II

Bro. Aaron Ajani has been working nonstop for more than the past year to establish a formal STEM program for Gamma Pi Chapter. His hard work resulted in success, as the Super Chapter initiated its STEM program on November 1, 2023. Nearly a year later his hard work is being recognized by the local community as he was one of a number of men honored with a prestigious "Men Make A Difference" award from the Prince George's County Schools at a ceremony in Upper Marlboro on Saturday, October 12.

The awards were presented during the daylong Men Make  A Difference: The Power of Presence conference held at the Henry A. Wise, Jr. High School. School Board Vice Chairman Dr. Kenneth Harris II presented the winners with a plaque onstage in front of an auditorium crowded with family, friends and representatives of Divine 9 organizations. 

Bro. Ajani was selected for his award by Mattaponi Elementary School, where he has worked with administrators on a STEM initiative focused on elementary education and sparking early interest in STEM subjects among young students. He has put in place at Mattaponi an interactive and educational program to expose the students to STEM subjects in hopes that they will pursue STEM academically and in their careers.

During the same conference, Gamma Pi sponsored an exhibit table that received heavy traffic. Also, Bro. Damien Goins, principal of Gaywood Elementary in Lanham, participated in the conference as a presenter. Gamma Pi was well-represented at a very important conference that was all about developing and engaging manhood in our local school system.  Once again, the Super Chapter responds to the call of the community.
