This university is a safe haven for me to truly express my creativity and grow as a student and servant leader in my local community. We Are Fisk . The first time I visited Fisk University was during Scholar's Weekend. I saw that Fisk shared the same family atmosphere as my own family. I knew Fisk was the perfect fit for me, even during the horrible tornado that hit North Nashville in March of 2020, I was on campus and was able to see how all the incredible Fiskites band together to help out the community. Fisk not only gives you an extraordinary education but lessons that follow you past your years on campus. Jansen Buchanan 2023 At Fisk, you truly are challenged academically. Without my professors pushing me and always making sure that my fellow Fiskites and I understand the topics at hand, I don't know where I would be. At Fisk, you are more than a number you are seen! We Are Fisk . Fisk University is a place like no other. On this campus, I have been able to grow as a student and even more as a person. Being able to be emerised in all the culture found on this campus is not comparable to any other university or college. Taylor Woordard 2022 Fisk is my Home away from Home. I love being able to have such a close-knit bond with all my professors. We Are Fisk . I was attracted to Fisk University based on both its academic reputation as well as knowing several others from my high school whom I respected attending here ahead of me. Fisk has lived up to its academic reputation and more. I have found opportunities for personal growth and development not only academically, but also to expand beyond the classroom knowledge. Miles Harris 2020 When people say "Fisk chooses you", I did not want to believe them, but it is TRUE! We Are Fisk . Once I stepped foot on this campus, it was something about it that draws you in and makes you feel that you are destined for greatness. Fisk not only gets your ready for the professional world but, socially as well. Being around all my fellow Fiskites from around the globe is an unreal experience. Bethany Dawkins 2021 I chose Fisk to continue the legacy that so many Fisk Alumni have established. I knew that Fisk would be the best place to academically and personally enhance my talents to their true potential. Fisk has taught me more about myself than I could have ever imagined." WE ARE FISK . Fisk has given me the courage and the humility to advance myself into an ever-changing and evolving world. By pushing me to see my true talents my professors and the Fisk Family have shown me that I can not only make it into elitist spaces but excel within them.
