Liu and City Councilwoman Debi Rose, whose district in Staten Island includes the largest Liberian community in the United States. Four mass communications students at the University of Liberia were announced as the first recipients of the scholarship. It was during that time that Jonathan Hicks formed a connection with Liberia and its people that would last throughout his life. While in Liberia, he was a guest lecturer in the Mass Communications Department at the University of Liberia. In honor of Jonathan Hicks several brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi will be traveling to Monrovia, Liberia April 2020 to award the recipients of this year’s scholarships and affirm their continued commitment to this honorable program.
