The Greater Springfield Association of Fundraisers recently presented Professor of Philosophy Julius Bailey with its National Philanthropy Day Outstanding Philanthropist award for his work as the founder of Dance Stomp Shake, which first began in 2019 when members of Concerned Black Students (CBS) approached Bailey about putting on a dance show.
