GHCDS Hosts Young Alumni Panel

On Monday, Jan. 9th and Wed. Jan.11th, Juniors and Seniors had the opportunity to hear first-hand from recent alumni of GHCDS about the college-going experience. Present to share their personal stories were: Nyama Gibbs (’20, Howard University, virtual), Kelsey Bhola (’20, Harvard University), Ally Bhola (’22, UPenn), Mikey Dizon-Bumann (’22, Cornell University), Croix Hess Rivers (’22, Quinnipiac University), Hakeem Hamed (’22, Quinnipiac University), Christopher Hasson (’22, University of Colorado, Boulder), Lucy Sullivan (’22, Fashion Institute of Technology) and Makari Matthew (’22, Baylor University). The alumni shared information about transitioning to college, study skills tips, internships and opportunities, building relationships with professors and roommates, food realities, and general “need-to-know” tips. During the presentation, students had a chance to ask questions. We are grateful to have our Alumni Panel back again this year after a 2-year hiatus. Many thanks to our alumni!
