Office of the Chancellor 


Dear Students: 


I join the entire university family in saluting our graduates in the accomplishment 
of a great achievement. The memories of what you have achieved should always be cher- 
ished. This yearbook captures many memorable moments of the past year at WSSU, 
moments many of you will carry in your thoughts for the rest of your lives. I know that 
you will come to value the contents of this publication as symbols of your experience at 
WSSU. 

Our graduates have had and are having a tremendous impact in the communities in 
which they reside. They are living up to the motto that defines us, “Enter to Learn, Depart 
to Serve.” You carry that legacy with you, as well as the hopes and dreams of those who 
will come after you. You are well equipped to carry that legacy forward. I am as proud of 
your accomplishment as you are. As you transition into the global marketplace, please 
know that our hopes for your success go with you. 

For you returning Rams, this yearbook captures the excitement of the past year you 
experienced and heightens your anticipation of the events to come that could become 
defining moments. We hope your experience has been both enlightening and fruitful. 
When you return in the fall, we will continue to deliver on our promise to do all we can to 
prepare you for the challenges ahead. 

You will always have a place of honor within the community of the university fami- 
ly. Remember: as you depart your alma mater, take your place in the world to serve. 


With very best regards, 


LadlA Prote, &.

This year, students were given the opportunity to view possible options for the new residence hal, Geason-Hairston Terrace, which is scheduled to 


be competed by Fal 2005. The displays gave students visual images of what actual rooms in the hal would look like, from the carpet and wal to 
funiture. “I feel that this new residence hall is more desireable because it’s not as emersive as Rare Comore, but Just a5 nice and the fact 
that IE 16 a new addition on carpus,” said junior Courtney Montgomery. This new residence hal wil, hopefuly, heb with student overcrowding and 


alow more students to enjoy the Luury of staying on carpus. PHOTO Br: LAKish LEAKE

This year, students were abe to witness firsthand the reconstruction of Greek plots. For many underclassmen, who weren't erroled in 2003- 
2004, the plots seemed to be just a new addition but, to Greek-etter organizations and uperclasemen, it was a piece of WSEU restored back to 
its natural beauty. Because students were abe to see the construction, it made anticapation of the finished product that rruch geater.

Move-In day is ful of suprises. From meeting new roomamtes, to dealing with the horrors of not having a room at al, it is ful of emotion This year 
many upperclassmen were housed off-carrpus to make room for the largest class of freshmen in WSEU's history. Tierra Parsons, a senior psycholoy 
major said, “This is my final move, aithough it’s hard for me to believe that I have reached this point. | know that it’s time for me to kave and make 
room for more Rams to come and receive the same education that | received my four years here.” PHOTO br: OFIé OF MARKETING AID COMMUNICATIONS
