As summer changed to fall, a new coterie of male students at Lander College of Arts and Sciences (LAS) in Flatbush began their academic journey. During class registration in September, students spoke excitedly about the classes they were enrolling in and the careers they were considering. Many spoke of how they looked forward to being challenged and growing as individuals through their college experiences. We spoke with five of the new students whose charisma and ambition made them stand out.
