    I am so ashamed. :frown: I went to Clark Atlanta University from 1993-1997 and made it to my senior year with only 15 credits shy of graduation. Every year I said I would go back, but never did. I became a mother and wife. Even though I didn't graduate, those were some of the best years of my life!!! Oh, yeah...my name is Robin. :flowerforyou:

    Hey Robin,

    Do not be ashamed! When you are ready, you can always go back! I would for my children to be your children's age right now. Having a 3 and 5 year-old in my 30s is not the isch...yea, it sucks having children at an early age but you can ALWAYS go back and get a degree so I'm proud of you MOMMY! Family 1st...

    Thanks for posting and joining the group!

    I am Kamaria and I represent the illustrious, the distinguished FLORIDA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL UNIVERSITY, OCTOBER 3, 1887!!!!!

    The best in the LAND...and don't get me started on the band, because I know what's up even administratively and Champion's unfortunate passing aside, it is not all that the media is cracking it up to be.

    MOVING ON--So glad to see HBCU family!!!!!!

    Welcome Miss Mari! I never attended FAMU but know that the media is hyping up the unfortunate incident with your band. And what's sad, HBCUs often are attacked period however news rarely covers the overdoses or other drama that happens at PWIs (predominately white institutions) before Penn State.

    Thanks for starting an HBCU Board. I look forward to sharing, meeting and discussing topics with you all. Well.....I represent two HBCU's. I did undergrad at Shaw University, Raleigh, NC (I got that Shaw U pride) and graduate school at Virginia State University, Petersburg, Va. I have so much love for HBCU's. Oh and I will add, my husband is an Aggie Man also.
