As the Fall semester comes to a close, we wanted to catch up with our Men of Color, Honor and Ambition (MOCHA) and Women of Color, Honor and Ambition (WOCHA) students on their first semester experience. They’ve had a busy semester with their academics in addition to participating in an intensive leadership development program.

The Division of Diversity and Inclusion in partnership with Finance and Administration will be commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on his birthday and we don’t want you to miss out! Dr. Howard Ward, Associate Vice President, Student Auxiliary Services will be our Master of Ceremonies.
