STUDENT QUOTES
EXPERIENCE
Dexter Ward
Class of 2022

Professor Greenidge showed our class a lot of things and took us to a lot of places for exploration. I learned some things about how ancestors were treated in slavery, and how we are portrayed in the world as blacks. It was a fun class I had a great professor. Another thing that I learned in his class what professors expect. Professor Greenidge would always correct students and make sure they were doing the right things during class.

Patricia Perez
Class of 2020

The great disposition of Professor Greenidge to aid students to succeed throughout this very difficult semester was a key for the class. He created the perfect atmosphere for us to freely express ourselves, our problems, and come up with solutions together.

Ryana Smith
Class of 2019

Mr. Greenidge is the truth: he doesn't just preach things to us; he shows us, he invites us to join things, and he pushes us to do more. but overall, I can say I learned three major things - get more out of college than just a degree, go to class and keep investing in yourself as you grow.
