Billionaire Robert Smith received an honorary doctorate from the historically black all male college in Atlanta last Sunday, where he also promised nearly 400 students that he’d pay off their estimated $40 million debt.

“I felt a sense of freedom because I know that I was free to make choices out of purpose and not out of fear of paying back my student loans,” Anderson said. “I can really look at my life and think what do I want to do. My main passions are public service, public police, communication, and I’m excited to have a career in that.”
