“Working in Chicago addressing social issues and switching careers to teach started with the passion I found at Chowan. Chowan prepared me for my career by providing me with opportunities to be a servant leader in the classroom and outside of the classroom. Being involved in various capacities of the university shaped my heart, perspective, and work ethic and challenged me in ways that contribute to my success today. It takes a certain place to shape the mind intellectually, develop good character, and ignite passion. Chowan was that for me. “
