      As one of the foundation's selected schools, Philander Smith will be promoted by the Tom Joyner Morning Show, which is nationally syndicated and airs in 115 markets around the country with nearly 8 million weekly listeners, and receive those funds raised from listeners, alumni and other interested parties in June 2010. 
     Founded in 1998, the Tom Joyner Foundation's primary mission is to help keep students enrolled in HBCUs and has raised more than $55 million toward that goal. 

>>   SPEAKING OF TOM JOYNER:  The nationally-syndicated radio host will bring his own brand of 'pomp and circumstance' to the Class of 2010's commencement ceremony at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 1, at the Statehouse Convention Center in downtown Little Rock. 

Tom Joyner as the keynote speaker at graduation is a terrific segue into the month of June when the 'School of the Month' campaign officially kicks off.
