Ketra Rice
Why an HBCU?
My family's legacy led me to Alabama A & M. My parents, uncles and aunts, siblings, and many cousins went there.
How did it shape you?
The campus felt like home to me, and faculty and staff often treated me as family. I was able to learn and grow in a nurturing and welcoming environment.
Most significant memory?
My fondest are of freshman orientation week, when I met lifelong friends; leading the campus NAACP chapter; serving on the SGA; and pledging Delta Sigma Theta. Also, sharing homecoming with my parents and their classmates was truly special.
