Read More >The first time I visited Fisk University was during Scholar's Weekend. I saw that Fisk shared the same family atmosphere as my own family. I knew Fisk was the perfect fit for me, even during the horrible tornado that hit North Nashville in March of 2020, I was on campus and was able to see how all the incredible Fiskites band together to help out the community. Fisk not only gives you an extraordinary education but lessons that follow you past your years on campus.
Fisk University is a place like no other. On this campus, I have been able to grow as a student and even more as a person. Being able to be emerised in all the culture found on this campus is not comparable to any other university or college.
I was attracted to Fisk University based on both its academic reputation as well as knowing several others from my high school whom I respected attending here ahead of me. Fisk has lived up to its academic reputation and more. I have found opportunities for personal growth and development not only academically, but also to expand beyond the classroom knowledge.
Once I stepped foot on this campus, it was something about it that draws you in and makes you feel that you are destined for greatness. Fisk not only gets your ready for the professional world but, socially as well. Being around all my fellow Fiskites from around the globe is an unreal experience.
Fisk has given me the courage and the humility to advance myself into an ever-changing and evolving world. By pushing me to see my true talents my professors and the Fisk Family have shown me that I can not only make it into elitist spaces but excel within them.
I chose Fisk because I loved the intimacy and family-oriented culture. As a business major, my professors have exposed me to different aspects of business and advised me on selecting a career path to achieve my goals. They have also provided opportunities for me to enhance my leadership and public speaking skills.
Probably no single institution has played so central a role as Fisk in the shaping of black learning and culture in America. The Fisk tradition of leadership and excellence continued throughout the 20th century and is being carried on today.
