The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. - Martin Luther King

My name is Faith Briggs. I tend to be “from” wherever I happen to be, I’m a sophomore and I’m in the best college on campus, yes the lovely lovely Ezra Stiles. I am a double major in African American Studies and Film Studies.
I started out working at the house as a freshman ambassador during the fall of the 2006-2007 academic year. This year my work at the African American Cultural Center revolves around the arts and the Caribbean, two of my passions! I work at the house because I truly have input on the activities that we sponsor and I can find or create work that I am passionate about. I love people and at the House I meet a wide range of students, both undergrads and grads, as well as alumni. I work with a great staff! At this point I wouldn’t think of doing anything else.

Favorite quote (I saw this on one person and I wanted to include mine if
possible): "You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't
save the people if you won't serve the people." -Dr. Cornel West
