Welcome new and returning students! I hope all are prepared for a great year here at Prairie View A&M University. I am looking forward to experiencing a brand new year, with my fellow Panthers on campus.
I hope all enjoyed their summer break, and are geared and ready for the long haul ahead. It is my dream that we all enroll in our classes, ace our tests, get along with our professors and maintain our high GPAs.
I encourage all new students to learn the ways of campus life, and to join your fellow Panthers in living up to our motto ‘Prairie View produces productive people.”
I look forward to interacting with freshmen as a part of P.A.L.S, helping students be heard by working with The Panther, and enjoying my last year on the yard.
I cannot wait until our first “Hump Day on the hill,” going to the classic, cotton bowl and homecoming. Truly if this is your first year on “the yard” you will not be disappointed.
Enjoy the loyalty, the creativeness and overall wit of Prairie View students.
I hope that all students will continue to remember their morals and values and display these great qualities throughout the school year.
Always remember that you can succeed at anything. Make your goals attainable, be prepared for some failure, it is a part of life, and do your best.
Once your best has been given, then look back and smile, and know that you’ve given it your all. Prairie View is a place to hone your skills, make lifelong friendships and learn a lesson or two about life.
I encourage all students to actively participate in any organizations that interest them, get involved, have your voice heard, because you can make a change, but you must first set out to actively make that change.
Do not complain about problems on campus, when you are not being a part of the solution. Remember that you do have a voice, you do have choices, utilize what you have, do what you do and enjoy your experience here at Prairie View.
I extend a hearty handshake to all my new Panthers and and old ones alike.
God Bless.
