I don't think thats fair....

I don't think this is news but don't diminish the accomplishments of a kid getting into grad school.

Just wondering why, out of all the southern and LSU grads that have been accepted into grad school, that this particular one is newsworthy

the urban forestry student body

Think of all the trees that have been killed as neighborhoods transition. Now study them!

Let's look and highlight
quote:

She's achieved numerous honors, including: White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) All-Star U.S. Department of Agriculture 1890 Institution Scholar Society of American Foresters Diversity Ambassador Southern University International Research Experience Global Scholar Auburn University Graduate Diversity Campus Experience Program Scholar When Tripeaux graduated from SU in May of 2018, she also earned the title of student marshal (the student graduating with the highest GPA) for the College of Agricultural, Family, and Consumer Sciences. “Kalaia is a young lady who does not settle for business as usual; she goes the extra miles to be a leader. She has made us proud and she represents the quality of the students whom we have mentored and nurtured at Southern University,” said Zhu Ning Ph.D., an endowed professor at Southern University. “I whole-heartedly recommended Kalaia to Penn State University, where she will work under my collaborator professor Bill Elmendorf with a graduate assistantship of $40,800 annually." Tripeaux says she plans to get a master's in human dimensions and natural resources, then pursue a doctorate in another area of agricultural science. She ultimately hopes to work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. “Even though I have found a new home at Penn State, Southern University will always be my foundation and I am a proud alumni,” said Tripeaux. “If you believe in your dreams, you can achieve them. Live your best life and make your dreams a reality."


Human dimensions-WTH?

And a single female graduate used to be an alumna, is alumni the new word for ???

(Stipends are certainly generous nowdays. Hope she doesn't waste her education working for the government.)

I read the headline as Penn, only to reread and realize it was only Penn St.

S my man. I hate to correct your impeccable grammar but I think you mean to say “gall” instead of “guile”.

-bitch about black people doing bad things
-bitch about black people doing good things and getting recognized for it.
-bitch about cost of living in SF
