March’s edition of “Donuts with the Dean” has woven another layer into the vibrant tradition of our Langston community. Starting in February, this monthly gathering was more than just an event; it became a beacon of collaboration and connection. With a Mardi Gras theme, over 300 donuts, and an incredible turnout, I pondered if we could replicate such success in March. The answer was a resounding yes.
This month, I had the pleasure of meeting a diverse group of new students, many eager freshmen from the School of Business. University College Director Kelly O’Bryan’s collaboration was exemplary; she brought her students and staff to the festivities. Moments like these reinforce my belief in the power of collaboration. In a world marked by disruption, our successes are interlinked with the strength of our community.
Observing their holy fast, some of our business faculty showed their support, embodying the spirit of unity and respect we strive to foster here at Langston. This event is a testament to our commitment to creating a harmonious school culture where fun, excitement, and learning coexist.
From Louisiana to Langston, my journey has taught me the art of hosting gatherings that leave a lasting impact. “Donuts with the Dean” is about enjoying delicious treats and building a home within our business school—where every student, faculty, and staff member feels welcomed, valued, and inspired.
As we move forward, let’s continue to share these moments, encourage one another, and foster an environment of innovation and care. We are crafting a legacy of unity and learning, one donut at a time.
