What is your best memory of WSSU?
My best memory of WSSU would be Homecoming! All the support, love and positive energy from alumni, students, faculty and staff is amazing! Seeing thousands of people coming together, bring their kids and relatives to brag about how awesome WSSU is priceless. To celebrate this wonderful institution through donations, attendance at athletic events as well as fellowshipping on the yard is phenomenal!
What do you love about WSSU?
The one thing I love about WSSU is the family oriented vibe I receive from not only the faculty and staff, but also from the students? There is not a moment that goes by each and every day where I do not see the genuine vibe and care our students have for one another. Wither it is student leaders encouraging other students to get more involved with student activities or students coming together to walk to the football or basketball games to support athletics or senate meetings, together we act as one.
What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
My plans after graduation are to further my education to receive my masters in the field of education. With this goal I plan to teach at a Title 1 school in the Forsyth County region to help leave a legacy in the community of Winston Salem and embrace my love and the importance of my HBCU.
How has WSSU prepared you for the future?
Being that WSSU is a Liberal Arts Institution is has prepared me with the knowledge and skill set in different content areas where I will be able to use that background knowledge and the fundamental skill set to adapt to any job I come across in the future in life.
How has WSSU made a difference in your life?
WSSU has made a huge difference in my life. Getting involved in different organizations such as Greek Life, Housing and Resident Life and Student Government Association has taught m
Students and faculty in UF Law’s Environmental and Land Use Law Program’s Spring Break Field Course explored the diverse marine and coastal ecoregion shared by South Florida and the Bahamian archipelago.
The purpose of the week-long course, led by Tom Ankersen, Florida Sea Grant's Legal Specialist, was to provide students a firm grounding in the law, policy and practice of coastal and marine sustainable development through field-based immersion, practitioner lectures, and reflective discussions.
The group traveled from the intensely developed waterfront of Biscayne Bay to the bustling government center of Nassau in the Bahamas, and then on to the quiet, rural family island of Andros, bounded by the great Bahama Bank and the Tongue of the Ocean. While there is a world of difference between the two neighbors separated by the Gulf Stream, they share a remarkably similar ecosystem facing many of the same threats, and common language of the common law.
This year’s Spring Break Field course furthers the UF Law Conservation Clinic’s South Florida Bahamas ecoregional initiative supported by Florida Sea Grant, and in partnership with the Bahamas National Trust.

Penn Theatre Arts Fall 2015 Mainstage Production
Directed by Dr. James F. Schlatter.
The Theatre Arts Program’s fall production, BURY THE DEAD, written by Irwin Shaw in 1936, is set “in the second year of the war that is to begin tomorrow night.” The scene is an unnamed battlefield somewhere in the world that also serves as the gravesite for six dead American soldiers. About to be interred, the six young soldiers stand up in their shared grave and plead not to be buried. This crisis is the focus of Shaw’s harrowing and deeply moving and provocative play, directed by Theatre Arts faculty member, Dr. James F. Schlatter, Can a war ever end if the dead won’t be buried? The play will be performed by an ensemble company.
Performances:
November 18–21, 7:00pm

Technikmuseum Speyer's Soviet Space Shuttle, or Buran. To the best of my knowledge this is the only Buran outside the former USSR, and probably the model that is in the best condition of the ones that flew.
This was particular example was designed to test the aerodynamic qualities of the Burans. The Russians decided that the American way of separating mid flight off a transport aircraft was too risky, and so they added 4 small jet engines to the rear of the aircraft, giving it the capability to take off from a normal airstrip, fly under power to altitude and then glide in, testing the characteristics of the space plane. 25 flights were made this way in support of the Buran program. This one was not capable of space flight.
Since the program's cancelation in the late 80s as the USSR started to collapse, this buran had a very sad world “tour”, which followed one bankrupt company after another and years of storage in carparks and junkyards around the world. Thankfully it is in a museum now and being looked after so that everyone can see the Russian contribution to the shuttle era.

In scratching out a 64-61 win over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, the Hampton University men's basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak.
The Pirates improved to 9-14 overall and 5-5 in the MEAC on the season.
Head coach Edward Joyner Jr. won his 91st career game in the process, becoming the program's all-time winningest Div. I coach – surpassing Steve Merfeld.
Guard Reginald Johnson registered his second straight 20-point game, leading all Pirate scorers with 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Guard/forward Dwight Meikle added 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season.
Guard Deron Powers added 11 points and four assists.
The Pirates shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor – thanks in large part to a 14-for-25 effort (56.0 percent) in the second half. Hampton scored 25 points off of 16 UMES turnovers, and Hampton held a 26-22 edge in points in the paint.
A layup from Devin Martin with 2:14 left in the game tied the contest at 58-58, before Johnson answered with 1:11 left by converting an acrobatic 3-point play to put the Pirates up 61-58. Dominique Elliott cut that lead to 61-60 with a jumper with 55 seconds left.
But Meikle put his stamp on the game with 42 seconds left, finding space on the fast break before floating in the air, making it look as if he would finger-roll the ball into the hoop, before slamming the ball home with one hand to give the Pirates a 63-60 lead.
The two teams traded free throws down the stretch, but Martin missed both of his 3-pointers in the closing moments to hand the Pirates the hard-fought win.
The UMES led much of the night, though – particularly in the first half. The Hawks opened the game with six straight – thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Ryan Andino – before the Pirates cut the lead to 6-5 on a jumper in the paint from junior forward Jervon Pressley.
The Hawks opened the game back up, taking a 22-10 lead at the 8:37 mark after a 3-pointer from Martin. A dunk from Michael Myers and a layup from Devon Walker gave UMES a 29-16 lead with 2:39 left in the half.
But Hampton scored the last seven points of the frame – a jumper and 3-pointer from Meikle and a jumper from Powers – to cut UMES' lead to 29-23 at the break.
That momentum carried into the second half, as the Pirates cut UMES' lead to one on three separate occasions before taking their first lead of the night on a Johnson layup with 15:12 left – putting Hampton up 36-35.
Johnson then hit a trey to put the Pirates up 39-35 at the 13:32 mark.
Johnson added a layup with 13:14 remaining to give the Pirates a 41-37 lead, before UMES went on a 10-1 run to take a 47-42 lead with 10:39 left to play after a dunk from Elliott. Elliott later gave the UMES a 53-48 lead at the 6:29 mark with a free throw.

marks the group burial of the unidentifiable remains from the seven crewmembers of the Space Shuttle mission STS-51-C, killed in the 1986 Challenger Tragedy;
the Space Shuttle program's 25th flight, and the 10th mission for the Challenger; mission objectives included a flight of Halley's Comet Experiment Deployable to observe the comet, deploy the second series of Tracking & Data Relay Satellites, and conduct several lessons from space as part of the Teacher in Space Program & Shuttle Student Involvement Program;
the shuttle disintegrated 73 seconds after lift off at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan 28, 1986, due to a O-ring failure on the right Solid Rocket Booster (SRB); failure allowed a flare from the SRB to reach the outside and cause a structural failure in the external tank, which resulted in the hydrogen fuel load to dump, causing a massive explosion; the aerodynamic forces caused the orbiter to break apart;
the tragedy resulted in the death of the entire crew, including six astronauts and a spaceflight participant:
- Lt.Col Dick Scobee, USAF, commander;
- CAPT Michael J. Smith, USN, pilot;
- Engineer Judith A. Resnik, PhD, mission specialist;
- Lt.Col. Ellison S. Onizuka, USAF, mission specialist;
- Physicist Richard E. McNair, PhD, mission specialist;
- Capt. Gregory B. Jaruis, USAF, payload specialist;
- schoolteacher Sharon Christa McAuliff, Teacher in Space;
mission marked the first time a civilian flew aboard a Space Shuttle, as well as the first in-flight fatalities during an American manned mission and the first American manned mission to launch and fail to reach space;
