A highlight of the evening was the presentation of a key to the city by Statesboro Mayor Jonathan McCollar to Dr. Saba Jallow. Mayor McCollar and his wife Adrianne were both students of Dr. Jallow and were introduced by him.

"Adrianne and I had the distinct pleasure of presenting the Key to the City to Dr. Saba M. Jallow . I can't begin to put into words what he has meant for my life and many young people that have called him a mentor. In short, Doc we all love you!!!" said Mayor McCollar.

Over and over the speakers shared how Dr. Jallow went out of his way to welcome students and fellow faculty members into the community and help them find their way to excel and make a difference.

Dr. Jallow is married to Renata Newbill-Jallow a local public defender who leads that office for the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit.
