Shepherd’s Lewin named an inaugural winner of PSAC award
LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Shepherd University’s Annie Lewin has been named of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference’s L.P. Hill Unity in Sports Award inaugural class.
Lewin is the Title IX Director at Shepherd. Among the initiatives spearheaded by Lewin is Restorative Justice Week. The initiative provides meaningful dialogue across the campus community and critical training and education to create a culture of mutual respect.
The award recognizes the contributions of an individual or group on each member campus that, through intercollegiate athletics, epitomizes the promise of Unity, Equity, and Access for All.
The award is named after Leslie Pinckney Hill, the first President of Cheyney State Teacher’s College. From 1913 to 1950, he was the Principal of the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia and oversaw its establishment as Cheyney State Teachers College. The Phi Beta Kappa, Harvard-educated son of a former slave, taught at Tuskegee Institute and was a renowned educator, writer, poet, and community leader.
In 1927, a year after the first documents that created the Pennsylvania State Normal School Athletic Association, Mr. Hill argued for the inclusion of Cheyney in the Associations bylaws which had been left out in the initial drafting. The Board of Principals immediately rectified this error, and all 14 state-owned institutions were then included in the Association’s initial governing documents.
