The most meaningful act that caused me to continue my matriculation at OSU was the environment and opportunities the university offers. I graduated with 33 students; there was another Black student in my class. I have always been in the minority; when it came time to decide where I wanted to attend the college I considered an HBCU. I thought an HBCU would offer me the community and experience a PWI could not. However, since I was born in Stillwater and my father received his Master’s Degree from OSU, I decided to give the university a shot. I took a tour two years ago and the first thing I noticed was the tight community the campus resembled and the various resources to support students.
