Khalil Graham, MAT '10, is the 2010 recipient of the Alma Exley Scholarship. The scholarship was established in 1995 in memory of Alma Exley of West Hartford, a former teacher and an employee of the Connecticut State Department of Education. Exley envisioned the program as a way to encourage diversity in the teaching profession by recognizing and supporting outstanding persons of color who are preparing for careers in education.

Mr. Graham has been accepted into a doctoral program in educational leadership at the University of Kentucky.
