As a part of my freshman orientation class, each student had to write an op-ed on any subject important to them, and then submit it to see if it could be published. In this week's Sync newspaper, Carnesha Hughes from Pine Bluff has her piece published, entitled "Who's To Blame?" I wanted them to write essays to coincide with the freshman orientation book, which is a collection of essays by Spelman professor Dr. William Jelani Cobb. He spoke on campus in October.

So congrats to Carnesha! Her piece is below.
