Milton & Granville Gittens ASB Scholarship

Milton Gittens, Ph.D joined the Ramapo College faculty in 1973. Dr. Gittens was well known for his role as cohost and assistant producer of “Issues and Education,” a weekly cable TV program broadcast on the Manhattan Neighborhood Network and produced through Ramapo College. Among his publications was a paper, “The Black Perspective in Public Administration: The Development and Application of a Research Model for Minority Administrators in the Public Sector,” produced in 1977. At Ramapo he served as convener of the Management concentration of the Business Administration major for a number of years and taught management courses.

“Dr. Gittens loved two things,” said Professor Constance Crawford. “He loved teaching and he loved his son, Granville H. Gittens.” Dr. Gittens was honored for his teaching in 2003 with induction into the Ramapo College Chapter of Delta Mu Delta National Honor Society for Business Administration.

When he died in 2010, two endowed scholarships in Dr. Gittens name were created through bequests left in his will. Both awards are intended to recognize students who are “descendants of slavery in the United States or Barbados in the West Indies.” This award is specifically for students matriculated in the Anisfield School of Business who have financial need. It is named in memory of Dr. Gittens and his father.

“Dr. Gittens was an amazing example of what a teacher is … someone who imparts knowledge and helps others,” says Professor Crawford.
