President George C. Wright welcomed students back for another academic year last Wednesday at a general assembly in the Baby Dome. Wright opened his speech informing students that he was “very excited and optimistic for the new school year.”Wright stressed to the importance of making wise decisions and emphasized that the choices students make today will directly influence their future.
“You are responsible for your choices, success and behavior. Everything you do counts,” said Wright.
“I found Dr. Wright’s speech to be very inspiring. He spoke to students as if he could actually relate to us. He also addressed a lot of concerns I had about the upcoming school year,” said senior Stephanie Rufus.
Wright informed students that they could come to him personally to talk about any situation they may be encountering at PVAMU. He also spoke about several improvements being made around campus for the new school year.
“We will continue to enforce policies so that PVAMU will be a drug free and violence free environment,” said Wright.
“The assembly was very informative. I am a freshmen and I am still learning so much about the campus. This assembly really gave me some insight about what to expect for the upcoming school year,” said freshman Kelly Lee.
