“This year, I look forward to seeing a new side of myself, just as the university is taking a fresh look. Looking forward to enjoying the blend of classes and research along with the greenery of the campus. Also looking forward to welcoming all the freshmen and heartily inviting them to join this cool place where studies are the cream of the cup of coffee, which I call the university.”

“This year will be a big year of change for me.

Melrick Poindexter, senior pre-pharmacy major from Clarksdale.
