Jamar Root ’22 was invited to do a senior internship at the prestigious organization Destination DC, as part of the Tourism Diversity Matters’ Diversity Apprenticeship Program. He sat down with distinguished STHM alum Sherman Neal II ’20—an attorney, marine corps veteran, college football coach and higher ed leader—to talk about career choices and finding a meaningful path.

Since STHM’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) has established a series of scholarships that expand the diversity of the student body. These opportunities for funding have made STHM degrees possible for an even wider array of students, including five master’s degree candidates from historically underrepresented groups.
