Wiggins “Live Your Dream” Scholarship for minority students was established. Wiggins served as President of Booker T. Washington Junior College and in 1965 joined the PJC administration as director of research when the two colleges merged.
Banquet guest speaker is Rhodes Scholar and elite athlete Garrett Johnson.
