Attending college offers students an array of opportunities for self-discovery, to learn how to think critically, networking, problem solving and reflection. Too bad so many potential students don't take getting a college degree seriously. Did you see the statistics on the number of high school dropouts in the Hampton Roads region last week. That's another blog. Last month, 14 NSU students attended the ARTSI Student Research Conference and the Spelman College Computer Science Olympiad held at Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. Talking about a networking opportunity! This year, 20 teams from 12 different universities and colleges competed: Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, Jackson State University, Morehouse College, North Carolina A&T State University, Norfolk State University, Spelman College, University of Arkansas Pine Bluff, University of D.C., Voorhees College, and Winston-Salem State University. The NSU teams were: Team Sparta - Benjamin Bond, David Oluwatimi, Amanda Webb, Kwame Martin and Team NSU - William Shellington, Michael Chase, Jasmine Berry, Tremaine Rawls.
With a 1st place win in Robotics, a 2nd place win in Hardware Design, a 3rd place win in Google Gadgets, and a higher overall score than any other team, Team NSU became the GRAND CHAMPIONS! College affords those who take advantage of the opportunity a chance to experience the world.
