Convocation

Before attending convocation, i wasn't sure what to expect. i was expecting a speech about why we need to stay in school and why Howard is the best school to attend. What i received from convocstiion was not what i expexted. Dr. Michale Lomax was our speaker for this years convocation. when he said that only 11 % of howard alum gives back i was shocked. Howard may be the top HBCu but when I walk around campus but we still need help. You spent four years of your life at Howard and can't take a minute out to say "thank you" ? Howard is not perfect but there are many people that dreamed of coming to Howard but never made it. we are the lucky few and i feel that we should support our school. Dr. Lomax also spoke about the need to further your education past the college level. i believe convocation served its purpose to reiterate why we are here. we all have a common goal and that is to graduate and better ourselves.
