HBCUs, pwis and How It All Came To Be with Fisk student Mariah Ragland '16
|
Posted By: MyHBCU Interview on August 13, 2013 We have decided to share a portion of our great and inspiring interview with Mariah Ragland, a proud student at Fisk University, class of 2016. Why did you choose an HBCU over a pwi? "Since pre-school, I have always attended a predominately black school because they were the schools in my community. I grew up with the same kids that knew me my whole life. Leaving everyone for college, I wanted to make sure that even though I would be alone (in Nashville from Knoxville) that I wouldn’t feel alone, or like a minority. Going to a majority black school was familiar to me and while I branched out to another community, another city, it still felt like home." What city are you from? Who introduced you to the greatness of HBCUs? "Knoxville, TN My school took the junior and senior students on a college tour to about 5 HBCUs in the south. That was the second college tour I’d ever taken and the first was an HBCU college tour also." Full Interview at: http://www.myhbcuinterview.com/2013/08/10/...
