Where are you from? Who introduced you to HBCUs?*
Somerville, TN.
Why did you choose an HBCU over a pwi?*
Mentor.
What is the story of your "experience" at Your HBCU given its heralded status as a stellar and prestigious institution?*
Hello I am Maricus Witherspoon, President of The Magical Marching Magicians & The LeMoyne Owen College Gospel Choir. I’m a Uprising Senior Majoring in Music.
My career goal is to become a Music Educator/Drum Instructor. If I could say one thing about my HBCU Experience it would be “A Long Time Coming”.
My Experience has been filled with more than just successful things to be a part of but being the President of two Organizations is something I didn’t expect.
It has been a great Experience being at this Astonishing College and I wish many more to come.
"First time" experiences at your HBCU?*
Being elected as 2 presidents for 2 organizations is my most crazy experience ever since I’ve been here.
Who are the professors that have impacted your life in and out of the classroom? How did they do that?*
Mr. Wittaker was one of the most influential professors that I’ve ever taken in college. He showed me and my fellow colleagues about campus life and what to expect and what not to expect.
What is your major? and Why did you choose it?
My major is Music, the reason I chose music as my major was to become somebody that has a different look at the major.
I want to see kids loving music like the way I love music.
