Clip transcript:

Corey Prince: I think the biggest one for me though is, and people who were with me at Tech, particularly these guys online, they knew how spiritual I was and the proudest thing for me was creating the first annual Gospel Music Extravaganza. And we did that to raise money for a local church there in the community. So, when you talk about servant leadership, that was something that was really important to me. And my understanding is, I think that Extravaganza, I think our fraternity is still doing it to this day. Or at least they were doing it probably as early as three or four years ago. But that really felt good to do something for someone else, right. Because there was no other motive behind it outside of that we had a church locally that we wanted to help them and so we invited all of these churches out to do a gospel concert on campus. So we got all of these people together on campus who may not even had been exposed to traditional gospel music from African American choirs. And I think it went really well.
