Howard University Alumnus Maryam Sharron Muhammad Honored Posthumously

Posted By: Lena A Thompson on August 05, 2021

Howard University Alumnus Maryam Sharron Muhammad Has Been Honored Posthumously with A New Scholarship Dedicated In Her Name:

Maryam Sharron Muhammad was an accomplished scholar, historian, author, community volunteer, education advocate, creative and brilliant woman with a big heart who was first and foremost a student. She loved to study and she loved to create, and her pursuit of knowledge was both in the classroom and in the world around her.

Ever an advocate for education and the acquirement of knowledge, Maryam Sharron was a true practitioner of lifelong learning.

In that spirit of lifelong learning and giving back, The MSM Bright Suns Scholarship was started to honor Maryam Sharron Muhammad and to encourage other lifelong learners who value the practice of study (in all its forms).
