Shannon Woodward
Why an HBCU? For the majority of my life, I matriculated through predominantly White academic settings. I wanted what I saw on A Different World and in the lives of my family members who went to an HBCU. I wanted community.
How did it shape you? It allowed me to feel secure and confident in who I am and how I present myself to the world.
Most significant memory? The investment of my professors stands out the most. They prayed for me, helped me find my first job, and called me out for not being my best. They really cared about my future.
