Chancellor James L. Llorens on the death of Mr. Nelson Mandela

 

Âé¶¹´«Ã½ mourns the passing of former South Africa President Nelson Mandela, one of the most historic figures in a peoples' fight to be free.

 

"There are no words to capture the life and bravery of Nelson Mandela," said Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Chancellor Dr. James L. Llorens. "The world has lost the embodiment of courage and the commitment to the belief that freedom is worth giving one's life."
