In addition to his library vocation, Dr. Kamau is a published author, poet and radio personality, having hosted timely and poignant radio programs that impact the African American community. During his career, he also demonstrated professional proficiencies in fundraising and grants management. He was among the original planners and developers of the HBCU Library Alliance, and is highly regarded in the library and academic community both on and off campus. The Robert James Terry Library will miss this pioneering visionary. April 28, 2017 is Dr. Kamau's last day. I am sure he would appreciate hearing from his field of colleagues.
