I created Becoming Excellence because I wanted to build the type of organization I wish I had experienced throughout college—one where membership provides real value.

For me, that means helping students develop professionally, personally, and socially while creating a strong community for students who may not always see themselves represented or supported in those spaces.

I want members to leave college feeling prepared: able to communicate confidently, present themselves professionally, navigate everyday responsibilities, and take advantage of opportunities. I also want them to leave with meaningful relationships and the confidence to be themselves.

BE intentionally centers the experiences, culture, development, and success of Black students while remaining open to all Troy students who support our mission. Students don’t need to have everything figured out to belong.

Whether we’re building a LinkedIn profile, learning practical life skills, serving our community, or simply spending time together, the purpose stays the same: helping each other grow.
