It is with great pleasure that I submit this letter of support for Ms. Cierra D. Jackson’s expression of interest in the Howard University’s School of Law.

    If one would go around and ask the constituents of College of Dupage about their biggest issue on campus some would complain about the cafeteria food chains, the educational policies but the one complaint you would hear the most would be parking. Every year there are about 28,000 students who enroll, meaning they all attend by either riding the bus or driving. Majority of them drive, considering the fact that they are also new drivers who enjoy their newfound freedom. Since that is the case most students can't find parking, therefore they look to other options such as taking the bus,carpooling, or even scheduling classes later on in the day. Most would say the best solution would be to build a bigger parking lot or parking garage, which is…

    When we got admitted to law school, we all most likely encountered a number of emotions. Some of you might had felt positive feelings, other of you may had experienced mixed thoughts instead. However, it seems, that the longer we went on in our law school journey; the friends we were able to create, the professors whom went the extra mile for us, and the clubs that this school currently offers have helped made this law school feel less intimidating and more like a home. The Christian Legal Society should be chartered back to at WMU-Cooley Law School because we want to enable our members, individually, and as a group, to love the Lord with their whole beings - hearts, souls, and minds - and to love their neighbors as themselves.…

    My two most substantial accomplishments are becoming the President of the St. John’s University NAACP and interning for the House of Representatives this past summer. I view these two accomplishment as substantial because I believe I defied the odds to achieve them. When I became an executive board member of the St. John’s University NAACP, serving as the chapter’s first Membership Chair, I told myself that I never wanted to serve as President. I felt as if I wouldn’t be capable to handle all the worries and stress that went along with holding such a high position. Unbeknownst to me, the next academic year, I would be serving as President of the St. John’s University NAACP.…

    African Americans that have driven the cause of securing Black rights fall into obscurity outside of the Black community. Americans such as Anthony Bowen, Bayard Rustin, and William C. Parker. Parker, a catalyst for the civil war, is commonly a name that is only mentioned if there is spare time to be filled in a speech. Black lives and accomplishments must no longer be understated but instead underscored. This is the change that I hope to bring to the university.…
