Letters to the Editor

THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine 909 Poydras Street, 36th Floor New Orleans, LA 701 12

Dear Editor:

I am a recent graduate of Howard University with a bachelor's in communications and a minor of sports med. & administration of justice. I am writing to let you know what I think of the 30th anniversary issue of THE BLACK COLLEGIAN. For years, I have been a reader of THE BLACK COLLEGIAN. It has always assisted me with planning my future. I have found this issue (30th anniversary, April 2001) to be especially helpful. Many of the articles offer superb advice in the form of personal experiences and tips. The good thing about this is that it is coming to us from our peers as well as our role models and future employers. The article entitled "Reflections of Success" is a true favorite. Within this article, Tracy Edmonds, president/CEO of YabYum Entertainment, provided readers with advice from her personal standpoint. I found myself relating to her experiences while receiving helpful tips that I can apply toward my career goals. Overall the entire magazine confronted issues and concerns that I am sure many of us have in planning our futures, while at the same time providing us with answers & solutions. Your magazine has served the college community for over 30 years. May you continue to be a positive force in our lives for many more years to come.

P.S. I love the cover.

Dear Editor:

I am writing in regards to the article in the spring 2001 issue entitled "Opportunities and Challenges Await Computer Science Graduates." This article sheds light on the demand for information technology workers in today's society. By doing so, your magazine is encouraging African Americans to obtain jobs in computer-related fields. It gives a wonderful outlook on this field. I have enjoyed this issue of your magazine. I wish your magazine success in the future. Thanks again for your encouragement and inspiration.
