How would you describe your WSSU experience?
Amazingly interesting. From the people that I’ve met to the different experiences that I’ve had to the situations that I’ve been in and witnessed. But I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.

The first professor I connected with and fraternity brother, Dr. Frederick Roundtree. My research mentor, Dr. Mustafa Atay. One of my favorite professors, someone I can always come talk to, and sor

The Oberlin Computer Science department did a t-shirt design contest every year when I was there. This was my winning entry in 1989. It was a take-off on a similar shirt on campus that was "People Becoming Fish". I did the original design in Adobe Illustrator '88 on a Macintosh SE. The camera-ready output was done on an Apple LaserWriter II.
