I would like to spread the wonderful news of another Bermudian honoured abroad recently.

Rose A. Wilson-Hill, the daughter of Mayville Wilson and the late Rudolph WR Wilson of Southampton, was recognised on October 27 at the Ohio State University.

She was honoured as one of the Who’s Who in Black Columbus, and was listed among the 2015 recipients in the thirteenth edition of the recently published Who’s Who.

Ms Wilson-Hill has served the university for 44 years, creating and administrating initiatives for graduate and professional students, establishing pivotal relationships across the United States and Puerto Rico.

She has spearheaded enrichment and career development programmes, worked to develop and administer grants, and chaired university committees.

Ms Wilson-Hill also established a number of “firsts” on campus, such as the Native American Recruitment Conference and Ohio State’s National Conference on Diversity, Race and Learning, now in its 22nd year.

She initiated the nation’s longest-running annual scholarship visitation days and oversees Ohio State’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

As a result of her dedication and commitment of more than 40 years, scores of students have had the opportunity to complete their master’s and doctorates, and are making critical contributions to their respective workplaces.

Ms Wilson-Hill has seen various programmes under her command rise to fruition and completion, and therefore shares this with a humble sense of pride and satisfaction.

The university is also instituting a special project in an attempt to preserve the history of women at Ohio State through oral interview. These are women who have sacrificed and laboured to change the institutional systems.

Ms Wilson-Hill’s contributions were recorded on November 5, making her one of the first contributors.

Ohio State University is one of the largest universities in the US, with a student population of more than 65,000. This is just another success story of a Bermudian achieving recognition abroad.

The Wilson/Chentouf family should be proud to share the wonderful accomplishments of their kin.
