Howard had its’ annual convocation this week. Honestly I had no idea what a convocation was, then I heard it was a ceremony to bless the school year and I decided to go. Dr. Michael Lomax talked about HBCUs. In his speech he spoke on the uplifting of HBCUs and their attendance. Howard’s main focus is to make students who can compete in any market, anywhere in the world. He then hit a very important subject. He talked about the University’s need to provide the students a happy experience because when we becoming alumni, we are hoped to fund the school. I strongly believe in this. I understand the whole concept of us students needing to mature and everything, but Howard’s tactic of teaching this is becoming a hassle. Sacrifices are necessary for progress and this speech was a wake up call I feel Howard needed to hear.
