Harold Haskins was a wonderful mentor, friend, and father figure to me during my time at Wharton. He was a great support to me in developing my career while I was a "green," inexperienced young freshman. He was also instrumental in supporting me when my father passed away tragically in 2000 during my junior year. The African-American community will surely miss his dedication and support. He is a wonderful person who I will sorely miss as well.
