Transcript of the video interview:

"I'm part of a non-Greek brotherhood called, RYG, which is based and founded on diversity, and issues involving diversity on this campus. It stems from the 1992 Rodney King riots, and that's where it came out of, and sort of, the university's response to that.

"A sister organization was founded called WRW that works in the same light. And these are organizations that have really made an impact on this campus, as well as, the campus itself.

"Administration realized that there are issues. By coming here and being someone of a different race or a different culture, you will be, sort-of, on the cutting edge of change. You'll be a part of it. You'll be out there arguing for why things need to be this way.

"And by being a part of that,  you really get involved. You really learn more about yourself, about organizations today, about all these things, and you'll see the changes, and people are responsive.

"Here you become a leader in the sense that you're also an innovator. You're creating something new; you're creating a space for yourself, and you're creating a space for those that come after you. And I think that's really the biggest appeal. 

"That's the biggest thing I've gotten from this place, was being able to be a part of it, to really get my hands in it, in terms of policy, in terms of admissions, in terms of everything.

"My parents are very happy. They really see that I've taken a real proactive stance at this university, and I'm definitely thriving in my academics. I'm getting involved with things, and I don't think they've ever seen me happier."
