Brandi Simone Brown



I would like to attend a HBC because, HBCUs provide a strong sense of community. And I would like to be closer to other African-American students and get more involved in African-American culture.
I feel empowered by attending a university that has a history of fighting for African-American students' rights to higher education.
I also believe, you do not have to worry about the potential distraction of being a minority student.

Both of my parents attended them as well. Every year we’d go to Pine Bluff Arkansas Homecoming (my father’s alma mater) and even as a young girl seeing all of the many African American’s gather in a friendly, welcoming manner was extraordinary. Not to mention it was a fun time to spend with my family as well.
So I believe you have to be grounded in what you believe and know who you are, and what you’re capable of doing. I believe it being comfortable around my piers I can gain a lot of knowledge and strength to be successful in my career choice of PA.
