The Freshman College
“Building Character, Confidence, Pride, Memories, and Pathways to Success”
Character “Character is something that will follow you all your life. It is defined in Webster’s Dictionary as the combination of emotional, intellectual, and moral qualities distinguishing one person or group from another. Character is keeping and following through with your word. Character is having integrity and knowing who you are and where you stand. Character is what separates a good person from a great person.” - Lakisha Lockhart, Class of 2008, Columbus, GA
Confidence “Confidence is holding your head up against all odds and all negative opposition; knowing that you are great and that you have all the opportunity in the world to be great.” - Shaquinta Richardson, Class of 2009, Spartanburg, SC
Memories "Through all the success, scholarships, and hard work do not forget to take time out to enjoy your time here at Claflin. Make sure you take pictures, go on road trips, and just enjoy life." – Melvin Purvis, Class of 2007, Darlington, SC
Pride “Pride is setting the standard for excellence. Striving to achieve your goals to be successful, and valuing the opportunities today in hopes of a better tomorrow.” -Shanene Harmon, Class of 2007, Manhattan, NY
Pathways to Success “Claflin teaches you to make your dreams a reality. I have learned that Claflin is the perfect place to succeed and that all the avenues provided are our way to make it to the top – it is the essence of knowing who we are and where we are going. I am definitely on my pathway to success.” -
Lauramae Britton, Class of 2007, Trinidad and Tobago
