In terms of the faculty within the Marine Sciences, I could not ask for a more supportive, caring group of mentors! Throughout my matriculation, all of my MSCI professors have had my best interests at heart as a student and a professional. The remaining faculty and staff, however, does not seem to support students to their full potential and are not as invested in our learning experience as I would have hoped for them to be.
Transitioning to online learning has posed a challenge for students and professors alike, but since going online it has been even more difficult to reach some professors and faculty, whether through phone or email. Even so, some professors maintain rigid deadlines with little to no exceptions, even when students inform them of difficulties making contact with them. When students are unreachable, we are held accountable face consequences. Professors and faculty should be held to a higher standard when maintaining availability for their students and I believe that will make online learning much easier for all parties.
The school saying "you can get anywhere from here" means different things depending on which alumni member you ask. For some people it was the beginning to a successful career, others it was just the starting point. If I could go back in time and do my undergraduate year again, I would still choose Savannah State, the illustrious school by the sea. The community is small, but that is one of the biggest blessing about the school, there is always somebody who cares, and always somebody there to help. Savannah State has groomed some of the greatest entrepreneurs, lawyers, judges, even hall of fame football stars, entertainment artists. No matter what you are into, there is a niche for you somewhere on the campus community, whether you're into religion, modeling, science clubs, greek life. Savannah is also a beautiful historic site for people of color. The campus was founded by Richard R Wright, and it is the oldest HBCU in the State of Georgia.
