Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ

Why did you choose Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ?

After having many talks with God, I feel like he placed it in my heart to go to Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ. I wasn’t sure about my college process and where I should go. I prayed for signs and everything showed Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ was the school for me. 

Why did you choose your present major?

I always desire to work in the medical field and also it will be an honor to be the first immediate family to have a job in that field . After hearing about the adequate treatment of black women face in the medical field, I wanted to become a representation for my community.
