For Shepard, Its Always Been About "SERVICE"
​
At 75 years old, Dr. Shepard continues to consult, mentor, coach, and teach, to enable others, especially mentoring STEM students at HBCUs to become all they are destined to be.
​
He currently consults with Oklahoma Baptist University (OBU) in Shawnee, OK to mentor two young scholar-athlete football players. Click on link below to read the Press Release (PR) and view the YouTube video at end of PR.

Responding to a request from some in his community desiring to know more about HBCUs (Historical Black Colleges and Universities), Shepard shared a two-part series on the legacy of what he calls, "HBCUs: American National Treasures."

Dr. Shepard's desire is that God's goodness will continue to run after him, and keep him in a state of life-long-learning so that he can remain useful to himself and to others.

The Mural at the bottom: In 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) renovated the 6th floor of their building in Rockville, MD. Based on Shepard's work inside and outside of the Agency, a decision was made to place a mural of him on a wall in the newly renovated cafeteria. The mural includes Shepard's motto and will remain in place for at least two years.
