I got a chance to sit down with senior biology major Ike Uzomah from College Park, MD. I must say I was very impressed by his eloquent speech, sophisticated appearance, and overall swag. Uzomah is president of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity incorporated, a member of Black Student Union, member of the review board for Student Entertainment Events and also part of the Charles Drew Pre-med Society. And on top of all that he is single!

HC: How do you want to be remembered after your gone?
IKE: As a man that laid down a pathway for others to follow.
