Four Livingstone College Honors students will travel to the University of Notre Dame for the institution’s Our Futures Weekend on Jan. 30.

The graduate recruitment event brings highly talented and driven undergraduates who have been historically underrepresented in higher education to the South Bend, Indiana campus.

After undergoing an application and interview process, juniors Christian Oliver a psychology major from Houston, Texas; Thomyka Valcent, a biology major from Gros Islet, Saint Lucia; computer information systems major Isatu Kruah of Paynesville, Liberia; and Mia Mason, a music major from Salisbury, were selected among 80 others from institutions across the nation because of their promising performance at a Research 1-rated institution.

“I am grateful for this opportunity as I am excited to learn more about their master of sacred music program that could eventually lead me into the doctor of musical arts program,” Mason said. “I am ready for the adventure.”

During Our Futures Weekend, participants will learn about Notre Dame’s advanced degree programs offered through the graduate school, visit their academic area of interest to tour facilities and interact with faculty, staff and potential future mentors, hear directly from the graduate school’s admissions team on navigating the graduate application process, discover available financial resources, make connections with other driven peers who share similar interests and goals, network with and hear from current Notre Dame graduate students about their research and experience, and experience the University’s history and traditions.
