2007 -2008 Officers

Greetings Stallions,

            On behalf of the Minority Academic Social Development Association (MASDA), I would like to be the first to welcome you to ABAC. It is a great privilege and honor to serve you once again as the MASDA President. I look forward to triumphing through another great year here at ABAC.

            The Minority Academic Social Development Association was created because its founders believed that minority students needed an organization in order to make sure their needs were met on campus. It originally focused on the contributions of African Americans to society. It still does that today, but much more is involved. MASDA tries to bridge the gap between the students and the institution. The club gets involved in many administrative activities on campus to try to encourage its members to have an active part in all of the important issues on the campus. MASDA tries to empower the students and make them feel like they have a voice on campus. Furthermore, we find joy in the voices of the students here at ABAC and hope to build lifelong friendships and relationships for years to come.

            To the incoming freshman, let me say how delighted I am that you have chosen ABAC to further your education. This first year of college, for some of you, will be your very first makeover! Assuredly, I've come to realize that the first year is year change, molding, and direction. As it relates to change, you will be switching from the high school feel, to the college thrill - giving you a small view of the real world. Nonetheless, as a college student, you will run into your share of dilemmas, dilapidations, and disappointments-furthermore known as drama! However, I learned that it is at these moments when college molded you into the person you sure to become, developing your moral character. Furthermore, just when you thought you knew what you wanted be leaving high school, your first choice of major, might not be your last! Therefore, your first year of college when give you some insinuation, as to where you need and want to go as to your field of study. I hope and pray that through your endeavors and encounters with MASDA we will be able to help aid you through a productive year here at ABAC.

            Now, to returning stallions, I am thrilled and overjoyed that you will surpass last year! It is my desire to see us take our goals, ambitions, and dreams of achievement for MASDA to the next level. I hope that we all continue to have a spirit of unity, clarity, and formality as a whole to help us all take this year’s tasks and become true ambassadors for ABAC.

            So to all, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and hope that your year here at ABAC will be joyful, delightful, and successful.

Yours truly,

Brandon Howard

MASDA President
