Garibaldi was interviewed on the Paul W. Smith show on WJR 760 AM about his relationship with General Colin L. Powell. Guy Gordon sat in as host for Smith\u2019s show during the week of Oct. 18-22. Gordon engaged in a lengthy discussion with Garibaldi about his experiences at Howard University working closely with Powell from 1996-2000.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, President Garibaldi said that he was saddened to learn of the general\u2019s passing, reflected on his steadfast commitment to America\u2019s youth and his down-to-earth nature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was truly an American hero and someone who cared deeply about our youth and education,\u201d Garibaldi said. \u201cIt was my good fortune to have worked closely with him when he was a member of Howard\u2019s Board of Trustees.\u00a0He chaired my Academic Affairs Committee when I was the university\u2019s\u00a0first provost and chief academic officer.\u00a0I learned many leadership lessons from him over those four years: and he provided valuable assistance in the advancement of my subsequent career.
