Five years
Something not
commonly known
about Dionne:
She is working on a
doctoral degree in lead
ership for higher educa
tion. Her career goal is
to become a vice presi
dent of student services
or student affairs.
66 I am in charge of the day-to-day operations of the
Recreation, Intramurals and Fitness Office—which also entails
all aspects of keeping Samuel Archer Hall going each day. I love
the atmosphere, and in general, the family atmosphere here at
Morehouse. I learn from working with the students, especially
through my duties on committees such as the Homecoming
Committee and the Greek Life Committee.
You get to work with students one-on-one and see what then-
views are. And you get to guide them according to what you know.
I just love working with students and helping them however I can.
As for faculty and staff, I work more often with staff than faculty,
but I love that everybody seems to be on the same page here.
Everyone is working for the good of Morehouse. It feels like a fam
ily to me, so whatever I can do to help, that’s what I want to do. I
love Morehouse. 95

impact on contemporary constructions o( masculinities.
One of the most difficult discussions faced by society
is the role of gender in everyday life. The objective is to
leave the conference better informed about the issues of
masculinity.
The conference will be research-driven with attention
given to the undergraduate student culture and behaviors
that encompass many aspects of student life.
