On behalf of the Igbo Studies Association and our broader academic community, we extend our warmest congratulations to Dr. Nkuzi Nnam, recipient of the 2025 Black Excellence Award, presented by the Center for Cultural Liberation at Dominican University.

This prestigious honour recognizes individuals who exemplify a commitment to scholarship, community service, and the advancement of inclusion, equity, and well-being for Black and African American students. That Dr. Nnam has been described as the embodiment of Black Excellence comes as no surprise to those who have had the privilege of working with him and witnessing his passion, brilliance, and tireless dedication.
