World Peace Ambassador, Prof. Clyde Rivers
|
Leconte University presented Professor
Dr. Clyde Rivers with an Honorary Doctorate in Leadership in Humanities. The
Library of Congress Haiti recognizes Leconte University and it is the first
private university in the history of the Republic of Haiti to present this
award for tireless effort to bring peace to the world.
The citation given to Dr. Rivers states
in part, “Your belief in ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you’ - the Golden Rule,
incorporates a belief system that sees no bounds, only ardent activity guided
by the grace of God. Through this ideology, you have created a multi-cultural
faith based initiative to resolve issues and concerns worldwide… As a World
Peace Ambassador your commitment to promote unity and understanding, allows you
to surpass obstacles be they culturally, racially or religiously inspired.
Universite Leconte D’Haiti welcomes a partnership to utilize your leadership
and administrative gifts to collaborate in the restoration of its prominence to
the pursuit of education, social and economic development for the people of
Haiti. Your vision has brought back the lost art of honor, which has earned you
the respect as a distinguished leader among Heads of State, former Presidents,
Clergy, Dignitaries and Universities worldwide.”
Professor Rivers said, “It speaks
volumes to be honored by a non-religious university for trying to bring unity
to the people of the world. Every individual born in this world is valuable to
the world and especially valuable to God. So we must protect the image of God
in every individual born in this world.”
