Jill Scott is now an official graduate of Temple University

Singer Jill Scott makes her return to her alma mater Temple University as she is getting her honorary doctrine degree.  When she started in the industry, she never forgot where she came from as she gave back to her community and other charities.

Before she left Temple, she majored in secondary education. She started charity called The Blues Babe Foundation and the mission of the foundation is nurturing college-bound students of color, artistically and academically and is committed to assisting students in under served communities by providing programs that promote leadership and academic excellence.

Here is what president of Temple University Neil D. Theobald said about giving Scott the degree:

“(Her) values and achievements embody the mission and ideas of the university” 

We send our congratulations to this Philly diva and it’s well deserved
