Jenelle L. Mellerson
Why an HBCU? I wanted to feel at home by being able to take classes with students that looked like me. When I first visited the campus, the energy and culture drew me in, and I knew Hampton was the school for me.
How did it shape you? Attending an HBCU has given me a sense of pride in my culture, my community, and myself.
Most significant memory? The passion and commitment of the professors at Hampton. They provided genuine care and support and made sure that I received a sound education.
