"Without a doubt, I believe if you come in knowing what you want with your priorities set, you'll have the support and accountability to meet your goals. The faculty, staff and professors want to help you reach your goals. As an NCCU Eagle, you have a built-in support system, a family and they're always going to be there for you."

"I want current and future students to understand that it is possible to accomplish your goals as a non-traditional student. It might be hard, but it's possible, and it's worth it. You have faculty, resources and mentors (like me) available at NCCU to support you and cheer you on. If I can do it, you can do it too."

"You should consider NCCU because no matter what field or major you're interested in, you'll have an armful of people willing to help you with your success. Growing up, all odds were stacked against me, but you can take the easy way or the hard route and stay focused–I'm proud of where I am today because of that."
