In October, our business school proudly participated in Senior High School Day at Langston University. The campus buzzed with energy as over 600 high school students explored the various tables hosted by our schools, programs, and student organizations. This event was more than just an introduction to college life—it was an opportunity to inspire future Lions and showcase the incredible experiences waiting for them at Langston.
A special thank you goes to Mrs. Dawn O’Bryan of our team for orchestrating a seamless event. She ensured that our work-study students set up our table, interacted with visitors, and represented the school professionally. This hands-on involvement was a learning experience and an opportunity to develop leadership skills. Our faculty members, including Dr. Michael Hamilton and Professor Ralph Grayson, were present to engage with the students, answering questions and sharing insights about life at Langston.
I was especially thrilled to welcome one of our valued corporate partners, Daneka Allen, Account Manager/Academic Specialist at Jackson Mechanical Services Inc., who joined us for the event. Her presence highlighted the importance of our partnerships and gave prospective students a glimpse of how we connect education with real-world opportunities.
Senior High School Day was a powerful reminder of the importance of community engagement. It allowed us to connect with young students, introduce them to the possibilities at Langston, and demonstrate how our partnerships are making a tangible difference. We are building a brighter future for the next generation of leaders.
