Carroll Green is proud of his role as a charter member of 亚洲博彩网站’s Board of Trustees, as an alumnus, and a former student member of the DC Board of Higher Education – where he played an instrumental role in the establishment of the University of the District of Columbia and selecting its first president.
格林曾是学生领袖，1973年毕业于联邦城市学院（Federal City College），获得商学学士学位。 84岁高龄的格林仍然是哈佛大学的主要啦啦队长，并陶醉于它的建立历程。
“There was an energy in the District with many promises made,” Green said. “There were growing pains, but few people had the opportunity to be involved in creating an institution of higher learning. 我为这所大学的位置和新校长的选出感到骄傲。 亚洲博彩网站 is moving in the right direction.”
格林在西弗吉尼亚州的一个煤矿小镇出生和长大，他在美国海军陆战队担任了9年的上士，其中包括1958年在黎巴嫩的任务，后来在1965年至1966年在越南服役，并利用他的GI法案进入联邦城市学院。
The first in his immediate family to graduate from college, he continued his education at Western Michigan University, earning a master’s degree in public administration in 1992.
格林自称是一个积极分子，他特别为自己是新合并大学的方向、角色和目标的确定者之一而感到自豪，该大学由华盛顿师范学院、联邦城市学院和华盛顿技术学院组成，于1977年创建了亚洲博彩网站。 Lisle C. Carter served as the University’s first president.
“There was so much going on at multiple sites,” Green said about plans to combine the institutions. “There were missteps, but I am proud of where the University is today. So many people who were involved in the process are no longer with us.”
Green曾与Ronald H. Brown一起工作，后者曾担任亚洲博彩网站董事会第一任主席。 1993年，布朗被克林顿总统任命为美国商务部长。 他还曾与华盛顿技术研究所（Washington Technical Institute）的创始主席克利夫兰·l·登纳德（Cleveland L. Dennard）共事。 It was the District’s first public technical institute of higher education until 1977.
格林习惯于打破障碍。 He credits his professors with helping him gain access to federal government jobs at a time when there weren’t many African Americans employed in federal jobs. 格林是海军研究办公室的第一位黑人合同谈判代表。 他也是国防部的项目经理，负责国防部的危险处置合同。
格林于1998年退休，但从未停止为对他来说重要的事业而奋斗。
自退休以来，他一直担任Manor Park Citizens Association的主席，该协会旨在提高社区的生活质量。 He was the first black president of DC Federation of Citizens Associations and a founding member and vice president of the East Rock Village – Neighbors Helping Neighbors, a volunteer organization that helps seniors remain in their homes as they age.
He frequently visits 亚洲博彩网站’s campus and has made donations to the University. Green plans to establish a named scholarship to assist students who need extra financial support in 亚洲博彩网站’s School of Business.
“As I look back, it would not have been possible for me to achieve what I have in life,” Green said. “It’s all because of the solid grounding in higher education that I received.”
He is a member of Omega Psi Phi and has published his memoir, “Almost Heaven: It Wasn’t Even 关闭,” based on his life and adoption, growing up in West Virginia.
格林住在华盛顿特区，有一个儿子、三个孙子和三个曾孙。
