Ms. Williams was founder and director of training for On-Site Computer Train- ing, a learning center which provided her students with computer skills and cer- tifications that enhanced job placement opportunities. She held leadership roles in non-profit and civic organizations such as Lupus Foundation, Clayton County Chamber of Commerce, Women in Business Council, and Southern Regional Foundation Women Connecting Women Committee. She participated in the Clayton County Chamber of Commerce Principal Partner Day since its incep- tion and, as a result of her school partnerships, provided 25 weeks of computer literacy training (free of charge) for parents. In addition she served on CTAE ad- visory boards for Mount Zion and Charles Drew High Schools and worked in partnership with Unidos Dual Language Elementary School. She was the 2012 Distinguished Alumna for the College of Information and Mathematical Sci- ences.
Ms. Williams was deeply committed to making things better in Clayton County. She was a true Laker and loved Clayton State University. Even in illness, she was an inspiration to all with her undaunted spirit and broad smile.
Alyssa Braswell ‘14 (B.S.D.H.) lost her husband, 24-year old Timothy Braswell in a motorcycle accident. At the time, she was 38 weeks pregnant with their second child, a boy. Alyssa wants you to remember Timothy, and look twice, to hopefully save a life.
