The college also presented Winfrey with a painting of her likeness, which she reposted on her Instagram along with a video from the event, during which she received roses from her scholars.

\"They honored me with roses, a song, and a portrait for a scholarship fund I set up 30 years ago,\" she wrote. \"Can’t wait to see what they do with their future.\"
