SC State’s Willie Bradley receives President’s Lifetime Achievement Award, among nation’s highest honors

South Carolina State University alumnus and faculty member Willie Bradley has received the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award, a civil volunteer service award bestowed by the president of the United States.

“Willie Bradley’s commitment to community exemplifies the core values we hold dear at South Carolina State University,” SC State President Alexander Conyers said. “His achievements as a musician are reason enough for us to celebrate this loyal son, but Mr. Bradley’s dedicated service history gives us many more reasons to be proud.

“It should be no surprise to anyone that he has received one of our nation’s highest honors. I extend congratulations on this award and thanks for everything Mr. Bradley does for his alma mater and the community,” Conyers said.

The highest level in the President’s Volunteer Service Award program, the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes people who have exemplified the willingness to provide a high level of humanitarian experience to their communities and the nation. Bradley’s name will be included in President Joe Biden’s White House Archives alongside others whose selfless dedication has been assets to those in need.
