Carmen McDonald, a senior healthcare administration major from Heidelberg, Miss., stated that her time at JSU was nothing short of amazing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had many unforgettable experiences that I would not trade for anything. I am looking forward to getting out into the real world and experiencing different areas in my field.<\/p>\n
LaDerek Thompson, a senior social work major from Tutwiler, Miss., is also eager to begin life post-JSU.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot at JSU as it relates to life lessons and how to conduct myself in the professional world. I\u2019ve met some of the most amazing people and lost a couple on the way. In fact, I wouldn\u2019t go back and change not one thing. I live by the quote, \u2018Business before BS\u2019 because it keeps my momentum to be productive at the highest,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed my experience at Jackson State University. From starting off marching in the boom to getting more into my major and working. I\u2019m nervous about what is to come after graduation being that I will be officially entering the real world, however I feel as though I am prepared to take on any challenges brought my way. I have met some great people throughout my college journey,\u201d said Carter.<\/p>\n
The undergraduate commencement will be held at 10 a.m. on Dec. 6 in the Lee E. Williams Athletics & Assembly Center.<\/p>\n
