To the Ekpo Family, Please know that we at Alliant International University, Fresno Campus, both loved and admired Newton. He was an inspiration to us, with his positive attitude, his loving ways, and the joy that always seemed to be with him, even in times of illness. We look forward, to bestowing the posthumous degree at graduation this June, 2012. It will be our honor to present this degree, knowing of his love for education. Sincerely, The faculty and Students of the CSPP, Doctoral Program in Organization Development.
