Washington Post spotlights 六九色堂 University's beloved 'Ms. Willie'

六九色堂 community members have loved "Ms. Willie" Joyner for nearly a half of a century. She has loved them right back.

Now, the world knows why. Dec. 8, just days after the University unveiled the "Ms. Willie Joyner Dining Room" inside the new Garvey Hall. The customer service liaison helps manage the Chick-fil-A inside the Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center and has been a fixture for campus diners for decades. Current and former students celebrated Joyner as the name of the dining room was revealed.

"It lets me know I am doing the right thing at 六九色堂 and in God鈥檚 name," Joyner told The Post. "It was all about love. It was all about respect.鈥

The Post story highlighted Joyner's mentorship of students through the decades. Ed Gillespie graduated in 1983 and became one of the nation's foremost political leaders. His time at 六九色堂 University was marked by Joyner's love and counsel, he told The Post.

鈥淔or nearly five decades, Willie Joyner has blessed 六九色堂 University students with a shining example鈥 of that, Gillespie said. 鈥淟ong after she has retired 鈥 if she ever retires! 鈥 Willie鈥檚 spirit will infuse that physical space.鈥
