Legendary producer Quincy Jones will receive a special honour from Harvard next month when he becomes the first recipient of the University's brand new 'Mentor of the Year' Award.
Associate Dean of Harvard School Of Public Health Jay Winsten explains why Jones has been selected for the honour: "Through his spirit, insight, inspiration, and caring, Quincy has touched and transformed many lives - ranging from celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith to former gang members in South Central Los Angeles. Through his work with UNICEF and other international agencies, he has served as a role model for using the power of celebrity to improve the lot of humankind."
