CE: It was surreal. Being from Brook lyn, it’s very rare seeing a bunch of young black men in suits. So NSO was everything I could ever ask for. It was it. It was where I saw myself in a cou ple of years. It was real. In a sense, it was a utopia for me. I could see myself in these people in these suits. I could see myself articulating my words and speaking in front of a large, vast of peo ple. It was everything. SM: How has Morehouse changed you? CE: Morehouse changed me because it made me more disciplined. Morehouse has inspired me to be there for other people. It inspired me to just listen and not be the person talking all the time. Morehouse changed me into a person that I didn’t even see myself being. SM: As a rising senior, what do you hope to see change at Morehouse during your last year? CE: Honestly, just more growth. I just want to continue to be immersed in the culture that we have in the AUC and also contribute to changing the culture. I know for me, the person I was when I came into the institution and the per son that I’m going to be when I leave the institution is completely different. Brandon Manor, ‘19 Hometown: Prince George Cour Maryland Major: Psychology, Pre-Med Track Mki Career Aspirations: Addiction Psych trist CE: In a sense, I wouldn’t say that I chose Morehouse, but instead More house chose me.

SM: How did your NSO experier, change you? BM: It was a very integral part of, matriculation...Seeing black men it. different light, that was one of the b'. gest things. That’s why NSO is so | portant to me. SM: As cofounder of the organizath how do you want LYTEHouse to grom BM: One of the most special thie about LYTEHouse is that it’s just get ine. As a freshman coming into a spa like this, learning how to maneuver your own, it’s hard. And sometime* wish that I had what I’m able to give\ the freshman now....I think we’re rea. prepping them to come back to Mo> house or to do well on their midteri and finals. We’re prepping them to l derstand the importance of commun engagement. Something special abc LYTEHouse is the mentoring aspect it. It’s one of the biggest things that I hone in on. A lot of people sometim think that mentoring is like a one w street, that as a mentor I can only tea the mentee. But one of the best thin about mentoring is that we understai* that people have come from differe walks of life and different experience trials and tribulations.

I think that when comes to being a leader or an age of change, you have to know when sometimes sit back and listen and fi low. §1 |i II Devon Ross, ‘19 Hometown: Los Angeles, CA Major: Business I Career Aspirations: “Still trying to figu ptfe it out” Unlimited Dreams (Pending) ^ SM: What are your career aspirationsi f I DR: I’m still trying to figure that a I THE ESTABLISHMENT
