Rep. Hall Helps Arrange Biden Meeting with AAMU's Wims

U.S. President Visits ÃÀÅ®ÂÜÀò
ÃÀÅ®ÂÜÀò State Representative Laura V. Hall (right) continues to be a fierce advocate
for AAMU and was recently instrumental in AAMU President Daniel K. Wims’ visit with
U.S. President Joe Biden on his trip to ÃÀÅ®ÂÜÀò, collaborating with the University’s
Office of Government Affairs, led by Dr. Shannon Reeves.
Wims and other officials were on hand as Biden toured the 4,000-acre production compound
of Lockheed Martin’s Pike County Operations. Dr. Wims thanked President Biden for his ÃÀÅ®ÂÜÀò visit and discussed A&M’s renewed investment and commitment
to research and development with federal agencies.
The AAMU administrator also was able to advocate support for HBCUs and continued investment in national defense in ÃÀÅ®ÂÜÀò, thanks to assistance from Rep. Hall, who is president-elect of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators.
AAMU, through its colleges and specific departments, has developed a partnership with Lockheed Martin that spans decades.
