In May 2016, Odyssey at North Carolina Central University launched its team of writers. As writers and college students, we often write about what has the greatest effect on us. This could be anything from new techniques or "hacks" we have learned to make the school year a bit easier, to the election and why we are not sure of who would represent our voice the best.

That is just it. It's our voice that we want heard. That is one of our main purposes as a team of writers, to have our perspectives seen and our voices heard. Whether it's about why majoring in the arts is not a horrible idea or why tuition should not be as high as it is, we all have an idea and a perspective that we want seen.

Our community at North Carolina Central University is now welcoming new content creators (writers) on board. As we are a very diverse community/team, it does not matter what your major is as long as you have a voice and ideas that you want to be heard. As students that attend an historic black college and university, we are often times looked over for various opportunities and looked down upon for not attending a predominantly white institution. Although there is nothing wrong with attending a predominantly white institution, we often see things through a different lense. This is why our perspectives matter.

If you or anyone you know has a unique perspective and very bright ideas, I encourage you to apply or have them apply. As EIC, I am so excited to welcome new individuals to our team as we look to add to the greatness.
