Na'eem Outler (2011)

Na’eem Outler photoopenquoteBefore coming to Miami I majored in psychology, but once I transferred I changed my major to Black World Studies (BWS). I feel this change served to be one of the best I could have ever made, because BWS taught me many different perspectives I was unaware of.closequote

Dave Greber (2003)

Dave Greber photoopenquoteI majored in English-Journalism at a time when doing so required a minor. A quick jaunt through the course list one spring left me wondering more about BWS. As a budding writer and reporter, I knew I needed to understand experiences beyond my own. It proved to be one of the best decisions I've made.closequote

Sheryl Long (2009)

Sheryl Long photoopenquoteI am honored to be a part of the network of people within the Black World Studies community who look at the world with an open and honest perspective. 99% of us who sat in those classes did so because of our thirst for knowledge and because our professors created a safe, trusting environment in which to learn. My professors delivered that on a daily basis and I am grateful to have been changed because of it.closequote
