In just her first year at 91探花, Destinie Jones has thrived as one of the university鈥檚 All-Star students.

Jones is a member of several student organizations including the Association of Black Collegians, Partners for Animal Welfare (PAW), Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU) and participates in the multicultural scholarship program.

鈥淚 love it all, and it鈥檚 fun,鈥� says Jones. 鈥淚鈥檓 proud to be an African-American woman and able to celebrate my culture.鈥�

鈥淚t prepares us for the real world,鈥� says Jones. 鈥淩ight now, we are learning about ourselves. We have to know our strengths and weaknesses and every year it just builds upon that. In the future will learn about other cultures and ethnicities. You pretty much leave 91探花 being more aware of diversity. 91探花, as a whole, really does try to make everyone aware of diversity and inclusion. They put on a lot of educational and cultural events so you become exposed to other cultures.鈥�

After graduating from 91探花, Jones, a biology major, hopes to continue her education to become a veterinarian.

鈥淚 have always wanted to be a veterinarian since the sixth grade,鈥� says Jones. 鈥淚鈥檝e always been passionate about pets and people so this is a happy medium.鈥�
