Gwendolyn Campbell, valedictorian of the Class of 2025 at Morris Brown College, embodies the spirit of resilience.
While working toward earning her second undergraduate degree, a business degree in organizational management and leadership, she faced triumphs and challenges head-on. She worked full-time and in March 2025, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, while being a caregiver for both her parents.
For the Class of 2025 graduation series on “Closer Look,” Campbell reflected on undergoing a bilateral mastectomy just four days after delivering her valedictory speech.
