North Adams â€“ Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts alumna Patrice
Payne â€™07 (January) recently was inducted into the Massachusetts Hall of Black Achievement at Bridgewater State College, during its 19th year of celebration of the Hall of Black Achievement.

Payne, who majored in fine and performing arts, was a member of the
Judicial Board and African American Studies Club. On the Deanâ€™s list from 2004 to 2006, she performed community service duties such as collecting food for the Katrina Relief Fund, and helped to raise money for Black Entertainment Televisionâ€™s Rap-It-Up.
