I just happened to need some A&T information and clicked on our website and damn! Up popped an amazing picture of Taraji Henson followed by a picture of Willie Deese and Ambassador Rice and the track team and it was amazing! I don't know if high school students will be as impressed as I was but it was definitely a great visual!
I still don't know why the BGMM isn't anywhere to be found on our website but that's just my thing.

I still don't know why the BGMM isn't anywhere to be found on our website but that's just my thing. hey, as long as dr. martin is our chancellor, all of our websites will be "cutting edge" just like they ought to be and should have been before he arrived but they weren't. heck, it was the same way when dr. martin was chancellor of wssu. their websites at that time were far "superior" to ours. welp, i'm just glad that dr. martin decided to come home to his alma mater and use all of that talent on behalf of a&t. as long as he's here, you won't have to worry about our websites falling behind the latest advances. and, i'll tell ya something else too! our websites won't only look impressive under dr. martin, but they will also completely "function" properly too! funny thing though, they never mentioned in the taraji henson writeup on our website that she was a former student at a&t before transferring to howard. but i'm sure she won't finish her entire speech without mentioning that...

A&T needs to go at Henson hard. I think I read somewhere that she transferred either because of financial constraints or academics. But we NEED to sell her on "once an Aggie....always an Aggie." And then give her a bunch of paraphernalia to wear and perhaps even court her to make a donation. It would be great to have an A list celebrity pumping us up. Howard and FAM get A list celebrity love all the time and it helps further establish their national brand. Hope we can do the same.

This is from Henson's bio:
"Henson spent her first year in college studying electrical engineering at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University. After failing pre-calculus, she transferred to Howard University, where she studied theater."
So it sounds like her first choice and first LOVE was A&T but the engineering major was too tough. And if you had to chose between Howard and A&T over theater, I could see where her dad could convince her to come back to the DC area and enroll in one of the best theater programs in the country (no shade to A&T). At any rate.....we need to welcome her back to her FIRST CHOICE with open arms and hope that she still has genuine love for us. I'm sure she does.
