Convocation.What I intially thought would be hours worth of lecturing and leisurely rituals turned into something that further expanded my view of Howard and my place here. This assembly served its purpose in truly welcoming me into this great institution.
Dr. Lomax's speech reminded me of one of the points Dr. Carr made in his lecture; that is that we, as students of Howard, have a responsibility to uphold the legacy of educating our surrounding community. Dr. Lomax noted that HBCU's have an obligation to keep striving for excellence and educating minorities. This message motivated me to strive for more than I previously have and to value my community and dedicate time and effort to giving back and continuing the legacy
