Exploring Black College Students' Narratives

A Different Narrative is a Gold Award Project

By Orezi Ogbe

About

As a student obsessed with my future and college, I spent hundreds of hours reading reviews on different websites for universities and being frustrated with the lack of information on the racial climate at the university. If I did get information, it  would always be bad. For my Gold Award project, I created A Different Narrative to fill this need. Black students deserve to know how they will be treated at any given university. A Different Narrative will continue to expand and share Black university students’ perspectives to help prospective Black students find the right  college.

WHY WE SHARE STUEDENT'S EXPERIENCE​

You can find information about most everything on a college’s website, but I find that experiences are hard to find.

WHY IT IS CALLED A DIFFERENT NARRATIVE​

The website name came from a suggestion by my mentor to name it A Different World because of the show about students at a HBCU, but it became A Different Narrative because this website is about creating space for Black voices.
