Norfolk State University Offensive Lineman Colby Byrd speaks with Coast Guard Atlantic Area Commander Vice Adm. Kevin E. Lunday before the “Battle of the Bay” kick-off against rival school Hampton University, Sept. 17, Norfolk, Va. at William “Dick” Price Stadium. Serving as the “Executive Champion” for the partnership with Norfolk State University to promote the Coast Guard’s College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative, which is available to students enrolled at Minority-Serving Institutions, Lunday performed the opening coin-toss, attended a recruiting event at the stadium, and he emphasized the Coast Guard’s continued support for diversity and inclusion in the officer ranks through recruitment at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities.
