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 wom

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

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.
What were some of your favorite parts of your college experience?
Connecting with like minded individuals, meeting new types of people, gaining life long friends, and unforgettable experiences.
Have you engaged in internships, research projects, study abroad, student leadership, community outreach, or other experiences that are enhancing your time at WSSU?
I participated in research during my first two years and summers at WSSU and then I had an internship Nationwide during my third summer. I also experienced student leadership and community outreach through Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. as I was Chapter President for an organization known for its service.
Did you face any obstacles while pursuing your degree?
The biggest obstacle was definitely speaking to people. I’ve never been the most outgoing person, and I’m still not, but I have come so far from when I first arrived at Winston.
What are your plans after graduation?
I’m honestly still trying to decide this myself. I’ve had a lot of good opportunities present themselves to me but what I’m leaning more towards right now is attending graduate school at A&T where I’ve been accepted into the Masters and PhD programs for Computer Science.
Are there any particular faculty, coaches, mentors, or staff that made a difference in your life?
I’ve had a lot who have definitely impacted me whether they know it or not. Of course my department chair, Dr. Elva Jones. 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

Which expression do you think shows real pain? Attempts to fake expressions of pain typically involve the same facial muscles that are contracted during real pain. There is no telltale facial muscle whose presence or absence would indicate real or faked pain. The difference is in the dynamics. The real expression of pain is image B on the right.

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 me to believe in myself. Getting involved in campus life has developed my communication and social skills. It has taught me how important your personal brand is and taught me the importance of networking and getting out of my comfort zone. If I did not have individuals at this this institution to push and help motivate me, I would have never revealed my full potential. And for that I am proud to be an alum of the Winston Salem State University!

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.
What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
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 taught me to take the road least traveled and that has made all the difference since.
