Greetings,
​
I am a Senior at the University of Massachusetts—Amherst pursuing a dual degree in both Psychology and Sociology, a minor in Education, and a certificate in Criminal Justice. My plan is to go to graduate school to become a criminal lawyer (preferably in the South). I was born and raised in Boston, MA and am a Fall 16 initiate and the current chapter president of the Alpha Kappa chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Other than Greek Life, I am the RSO Liaison of the Black Student Union, the Social Media Public Relations for S.O.C.A (Students of Caribbean Ancestry), as well as a Residential Assistant for First-Year students in Southwest. My goal is to continue to uplift the souls of my fellow black folks.

Greetings, 
​
I am a Fall 16 initiate and a senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, currently double majoring in Biochemistry and Neuroscience. My immediate plan after college is to use these majors to go into research or find a job that will help me secure a stable financial basis for entering medical school, while at the same time, gaining experience in either the hospital or the researching field. On campus, I serve as a senate of the Student Government Association, the community service chair of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, a dance coordinator of the African Student Association and the vice president of the Alpha Kappa chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. Thought these positions, I stand to represent black people on my campus and the surrounding communities.

Greetings,

I am a senior attending American International College College. I study Business Administration with a minor in Marketing. I am from Hartford, CT which taught me an immense amount on how to navigate through tough situations. I plan to get my masters degree at AIC in casino and resort management, or continue to move up in the ranks of the company Sherwin Williams. I am a Spring 2018 initiate. On my campus I am president of AIC Radio, on the board of Intercollegiate Greek Council, and plan to be on the board of P.R.I.D.E. My goals are to rejuvenate my campus with great events and continue to hold the light high in all future endeavors.
