If your school is boring, it’s because you’re boring. As graduation approaches, some seniors are reminiscing on the past four to five years at Langston University.
In fall 2015, Lea Grant, senior computer science major, left her home in Kansas City, and started her freshman year at Langston. Grant was heavily involved in the LU cheerleading team, but she still made time to enjoy her college experience.
“When I first got here, it was lit. Everybody was at everything,” Grant said.
Most of the students who stayed on campus attended the events and had a great time during the 2015-2016 school year. There were several different events that the student body enjoyed. There were parties, like “The Chill,” presented by the Beta Kappa chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. The Beta Epsilon chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc held a concert during Sigma Week, in spring 2016, where Kstylis performed.
Nahjee Williams, senior broadcast journalism major, also arrived at Langston in 2015. Williams had a different way of getting involved on campus. Instead of joining an organization, Williams created his own production team with some friends such as Martez Jackson, and Kelviante Murray. While attending Langston, Williams noticed a lot of upperclassmen and alumni use the phrase “back when Langston was the LU.” -more-
“ I think it meant that people were not boujee and liked to have a great time,” Williams said. We know that times always change and sometimes traditions change with them. Brandon Jones, senior psychology major, arrived in fall 2015 and was involved with the student activities board general body. Outside of SAB, Jones also styled hair.
“When I arrived at the LU, the most memorable thing that I can remember is the fashion show”, Jones said.
Over the years, Jones has had different opportunities at Langston and one of them is becoming the 2018-2019 student government association activities coordinator. Langston has always had the tradition of having a fashion show during homecoming week, but Jones broke that tradition, and with that he became the first activities coordinator to have a music artist perform during Welcome Back week.
