Wymark D.J. Barton III
January 21
Columbia, SC

As a rising senior at South Carolina State University, I Wymark Barton have marked my matriculation at this university as an emerging leader. Attending SCSU has been a great experience. I believe I have obtained the skills and abilities that will help me to become the leader I aspire to be. Currently at SCSU, I have committed to making a difference in the lives of others by serving in several organizations, including the Student Orientation Leader Program, Black Males Project, SCSU Athletic Marketing Internship, and the National Society of Black Engineers.

Since I arrived at SC State, I have been actively involved and devoted to improving the campus starting with changes that I could make as a student. My efforts to make a difference through leadership and service has been recognized by my peers and the university. Attending an HBCU has given me opportunities that I do believe wouldn’t have been readily available to me had I attended any other type of university. Having access to some of the student organizations and groups in which I serve, has helped me to develop. This help motivates me to continue to impact my campus and encourage others around me to do the same as I set the example.
