Frostburg State University presented an honorary doctorate for the late Pansye Atkinson at their 165 commencement on December 16, 2024.  Atkinson spent more than 30 years serving in several capacities at FSU.  Her daughters, Diane Hudson and Kimberly Naylor accepted the award on their mother’s behalf, and Naylor thanked the University for honoring their mother. “Education is something that our mother was very, very, very much driven by.  There is never a lesson too small to learn in her eyes, and this is something that we both are just very honored and touched for her to receive this.”
