Where are you from? Who introduced you to HBCUs?*

.working with high school students to increase their awareness of the educational and cultural opportunities available to them at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)"
Why did you choose an HBCU over a pwi?*
I was a student in an organization titled Campus Connections B.C.T. which took sophomores, juniors and seniors from NC & SC to HBCUs all year round (as high as Delaware State to Bethune Cookman- and occasionally midwest).

"First time" experiences at your HBCU?*
I was a student in an organization titled Campus Connections B.C.T. which took sophomores, juniors and seniors from NC & SC to HBCUs all year round (as high as Delaware State to Bethune Cookman- and occasionally midwest).
Who are the professors that have impacted your life in and out of the classroom? How did they do that?*
I can’t name one because my entire department left an impression. However, Mr. Edwards in archives left one of the biggest impressions on me.
Best restaurants on/near campus? Best dishes?
My favorite would have to be Los Bandidos in Colonial Heights. One Virginia State favorite is Ettrick Deli which is situated on one end of the school. And lastly, I would say Vincenzo’s on the blvd.
College crush?
