3. What is your best memory of WSSU? The best memory I had at WSSU was becoming one the best mid-distance runner that Coach Turner had coached. I knew I had to just believe in her program and it will get me to my destination. That destination currently held me to 3 school records, CIAA Champion ( XC, Indoor, and Outdoor), All-Region, and the best of all memories was becoming a 2016 NCAA DII Outdoor qualifier for the 800 meters. I was selected to compete at the highest collegiate level anyone can ever ask for. Can you believe I have accomplished so much within just three months under her training? Words until today can never be explained how much my coach really impacted my life. She made me realize that nothing was never impossible if I put my mind to it and work hard, because hard work and having faith was the one thing I had held on so tight. I never found anyone that realized the potential and talent I had until I had met her at WSSU. So for that, I thank the university for having her part of the school because she saved my career.
4. What do you love about WSSU? I love this school because not only does it challenge students mentally, but giving a chance to those who are willing to try and succeed. I really love the fact being a student-athlete our coaches and academic advisers are always on top of there game when it comes to grades. They are always looking out for us and to make sure we on the right track of graduating.
5. What do you plan on doing after you graduate? I plan to go after my dream and that is to run for my country " EGYPT" and to be part of the next Olympic Games 2020.
6. How has WSSU prepared you for the future? It has prepared me mentally because WSSU challenged me a lot. Whether it was in class or on the track, i was always challenged to see where my potential can take me; and for that I grew into a strong independent young women. I knew that nothing was impossible until you put your mind to it.
7. How has WSSU made a difference in your life? Honestly, attending WSSU was one of the greatest honor I ever had. Being part of the women track team has impacted me emotionally. The love that I have for this sport made me want to represent WSSU at its best and highest level of competition. December 2015 was the year I made a promise to myself and my family that not only will my name be remembered, but to prove to my coach, who sacrificed so much to get me down from New Jersey, that one chance was all I needed to show " WHO I AM." A wise man once told me three truths in life that I will carry for the rest of my life; " Never regret the past, attempt the future with confidence, prepare for the future without fear." Here I am about to be the first in my family to graduate from college with a BA degree. I am so grateful and thankful for everyone at this school who stood by side until I made it to the finish line.

What is your best memory of WSSU?
"My best memory was attending the Annual Biomedical Research Conference (ABRCMS) with the MARC U*Star and RISE NGIMS Program. It was a wonderful experience. I got to see friends I've made over the years from other institutions and the graduate school fair was extremely helpful in my decision for the next step. I also enjoyed volunteering at the organic garden down the street."
What do you love about WSSU?
"The faculty and administrators are VERY welcoming. They've provided meals for me, transportation to the airport, taken me to their church and even invited me in to their homes. They really look out for my well-being. I don't have any family nearby so its is wonderful to find so many people that are willing to make sure that I am okay. The same goes for students. WSSU truly fosters a familial environment."
What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
"I expect to start my biomedical sciences PhD at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. I currently have plans to pursue neuroscience however, I am open to whatever presents the most interest during my rotations.
How has WSSU prepared you for the future?
"As a member of WSSU's RISE program, it is expected that we have something lined up post graduation therefore, they are more than accommodating for such preparation. They funded me and several other senior for Kaplan GRE prep, they granted us half off vouchers (we'd only pay $100 instead of the $200), and they wrote AMAZING recommendation letters for each school that I applied. They also guided me in writing my personal statement. In addition to my program, my amazing mentor Dr. Kanu did they same. He also nominated me for several awards that I didn't even know existed, incorporated me into his international Chemist without Borders Sierra Leone Project and facilitated three publications. He would drill me every poster presentation and made sure I was able to explain everything in the simplest way possible (which is not easy) so that any and everyone could understand. Because of his mentoring, I won a poster award at ABRCMS and I also received an honorary second place award through MARC/RISE for Scholarship Day. Presentations are VERY important in graduate school because it is necessary to be able to relay your research. As a transfer student, I don't think I would have found that type of support and encouragement anywhere else.
How has WSSU made a difference in your life?
"I came to WSSU as a transfer student. I walked away from a full scholarship and WSSU offered to support me for the remainder of my degree (shout out to the admissions department!). It provided a healthy environment to continue my education, conduct research and continue to explore my musical interests."

What is your best memory of WSSU?
My best memory at WSSU would have to be my entire freshmen year, from the mentorship of people like Keenan Easter and Vanity Oakes to the advice and guidance from Advisors like Chelii Broussard and Angela Blue, my freshmen year was a testament that dreams do come true. I was blessed with the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people during that academic school year. My freshmen year taught me how to embrace my culture and to love and love freely.
What do you love about WSSU?
The thing I love about WSSU more than anything is the Spirit. Unlike many other HBCUs there’s a certain respect that is given when you are a student at WSSU. From our football and basketball games to the cheerleaders and the band, WSSU has Spirit and even though it might not be apparent in the students from time to time, the spirit of WSSU is always present and will always remain.

Post Graduation, I plan to become an English Teacher, I also plan to continue my education and receive my Masters in Educational Leadership
How has WSSU prepared you for the future?
WSSU has prepared me for the future in so many ways, from the failures to the daily successes, everything that has happened to me here at WSSU has prepared me to Depart to Serve.
How has WSSU made a difference in your life?
WSSU has made a difference in my life in several ways. WSSU has taught me how to be an educated black man and how to act and respond as one. WSSU has changed my view on life and has given me the tools to live life and live life with no boundaries. WSSU has taught me to take the road least traveled and that has made all the difference since.
