Q&A With Myra Key

What do you like most about HBCU Connect?
"Hello Daniel, I received a HBCU Connect magazine and saw your picture. I knew you looked familiar; I was at SCSU when you were at that 'other school'. LOL. We had a couple of things in common and hung in some of the same circles, although that has been ages ago, over 10 years ago, I can't believe how fast the time goes by.
