“A proud moment for many of us who walked that campus as students and support it as alums. #WPS,” he added.
The journalist’s followers were quick to reply to his tweet and were very much in agreement with him.
One person wrote: “Couldn’t agree more! One of the best professors I had at the U of A and he sparked my interest in History, Africa and teaching. He’s a large part of the reason I went on to earn two Ivy degrees…all the way from a town of 800 in rural Arkansas. So exciting!”
Another commented: “Congratulations to Charles. Great man. Got to know him when my husband coached little Charles in baseball. So very happy for him. Well deserved.”

MARATHON MILESTONE
The post comes after T. J. celebrated a major milestone achievement earlier this month after pushing through a difficult injury.
The Good Morning America host successfully ran the New York City marathon on November 6.
The TV personality took to Instagram to share an official photo from the event as he smiled mid-run.
The journalist captioned the shot: “One of the ABSOLUTE best and most incredible days of my life. Still can’t believe it: I ran the friggin’ #NYCMarathon.
“It was something that for years I openly and forcefully declared that I would NEVER do. Never say never, huh? My body held up, my mind held up. I enjoyed the experience totally,” he gushed.
“And I’ve never been more in love with NYC than I was Sunday as it gave runners a 26.2-miles embrace. And get this, I turned to Robach at the 10-mile mark and said: ‘I’m f—-ing doing this again next year!’”
Fans and friends rushed to the comments section to send their words of praise for the massive achievement.
