Spring Break Is Here! Are You Prepared?
While preparing the departure of students for Spring Break 2013, This packed event focused on topics that included: spring break do’s and don’t’s , breaking the guy and girl code, and other exclusive talks that kept the room not only informed, but entertaining to say the least. For the many conversations that were taking place, the room was dare I say “uncensored!”The discussion was held at The University of Memphis campus,
facilitated by William Young, junior Journalism major, along with fellow commentator
Alelia Higgenbottom, junior, sociology
major. The “Uncensored” meetings gave urban intellectuals a chance to release
the tension of academic studies off their minds.
These steamy
tell- all sessions that were filled to the capacity of Greek students, allows them to
get to know one another and converse on a down to earth tone. It seemed to be a
delightful evening for the students, who answered questions on relationships,
friendships, and the consequences of personal real-life scenarios that coincide
with the student’s daily lives. Empowered Men of Color (E.M.O.C) was founded in
2003 by a select number of malesto increase the retention rates of minority men
on campus. EMOC has won many awards, including Minority Organization two years
in a row and last semester there were over 30 members with a grade point
average ranging from 3.0 or above.
Many of the E.M.O.C members are very active
on campus, whether it is writing for the school newspaper, which is the Daily Helmsman or being Frosh Camp
counselors and also being involved in Student Government Association. Every year E.M.O.C brings in professional
speakers to empower the audience of the E.M.O.C Men’s Conference. If interested
