Convocation

This week the University held it's opening 144th Opening Convocation. I was not really sure what a convocation was but since it was a tradition (and we had to post a blog on it) I figured I would go to experience it. I really enjoyed the speaker, Dr. Lomax, he as very entertaining and kept the crowd listening. I really enjoyed what he said about school being a product and students being customers, I believe it is very true and many of the professors at Howard need to take that into consideration when instructing. I also liked what he said about school not banking off it's past accomplishments, because my high school was famous for doing this. I think my favorite part was seeing the men and women dressed in their robes. It truly inspired me, I can not wait until i reach that point in my life. Another point of inspiration was seening Erin Rigsby sitting on stage amongst all the distinguished men and women. She is a fellow Baltimore native and friend, and she inspires me very much.
