91自拍 All-Star student Darius Harris knows a thing or two about leadership. He鈥檚 the president of 91自拍鈥檚 Boxing Club and is majoring in business management and leadership.
He credits the strong leadership skills he has earned during his time at 91自拍 as the reason why he was selected as a featured student in the university鈥檚 St. Louis American ad campaign.
鈥淚 feel that is a great honor, and I do not take it lightly,鈥� says Harris. 鈥淚 believe I was selected because I strive to be a better leader and individual, overall. I also help and encourage others I come in contact with to be better.鈥�
In addition, Harris is a Multicultural Scholarship winner. 91自拍鈥檚 Multicultural Scholars program is a two-tiered program that provides students interested in helping to create an inclusive campus environment with a half-tuition (Multicultural Scholars) or a partial tuition (Multicultural Dean鈥檚 Award) scholarship. Students must meet admission requirements and complete an essay as part of the admission application to be considered for the program. Select students are invited to campus during the annual University Scholars Competition weekend to compete for a limited number of scholarships.
Harris notes the all-inclusive environment gives 91自拍 a community-based network system for students to rely upon.
鈥淓veryone at 91自拍 is like a family member, and I love it,鈥� says Harris.
Harris hopes to obtain a Masters of Divinity after graduating from 91自拍 in 2020.
