Welcome back ROCKSTARS!! Campus Rockstar was started in 2009 by two best friends on the campus of Morgan State University. Rockstar was started as an answer to the constant censoring of the student voice, and to be the opposite of the self promoting university newspapers and magazines. Now one friend short Campus Rockstar continues on that mission. So let’s have fun...No conversation is off limits, no topic is taboo. This is your forum to say all that you please... and get some writing experience as well. There are currently some spaces open on our production team..so send me an email and become apart of the movement!!!
With Love....

Exclusive CR Interviewwww.campus-rockstar.com
Listen to the exclusive Electrik Red Interview www.campus-rockstar.com
There damn sure ain’t nothing like a Morgan girl, being Morgan girls ourselves we have to agree. In what seems to be overnight GMB have become Campus Rockstars. Your girls Chloe and Aili caught up with them to do an interview. We’ve heard the whisperings on campus-Who is GMB- are the girls mentioned in the video real- and what’s up with the Morgan girl flyers?? They answered those questions and so much more!
Diary of a Real Leading Lady I am a real leading lady, no I will not be hiding behind an alias because what I say is the TRUTH. I was shocked and hurt by the article that was published that sought to tarnish the reputation that I by being a member of Leading Ladies helped to build. I waited for a week to see if a retraction would be printed or even an apology and when none came I felt it was time to take matters into my own hands. Leading Ladies is a Leadership Development and Growth SERIES! NOT ORGANIZATION! I wonder if this supposed Leading Lady even took the time to read the tote bag she was carrying around..such a poser. As for everyone else you are welcome to come check out what we are really all about in Leading Ladies, and you will see the excellent support that Ms. Toya Corbett has set up for us through extensive networking. If don’t know now ya know! Amber Kennedy-Morgan State University

Rockstar asked Alumni, what do you wish you knew before graduating???
Think of multiple
sources of income.
What are some
talents you have? Do
you have days off?
get a second job and
call loan providers
to see if you can
adjust payments, or
consolidate.
It can be a party still. As an
adult you have to make the
conscience effort to have
fun...explore your city,
attend free events, and just
plan to hang out ahead of
time.
In grad school you are
not only just given
information to digest,
you have to develop
your own knowledge.
Most of your time in
school is spent doing
research and drawing
conclusions....a
challenge but well
worth it.
“The cost of living and how my loans would affect it.”
“Grad school is more of a
challenge than undergrad.”
“Its not the party it seemed like it
would be”

Vanessa Bowling “The Activist”
Major:Communications:PR
Why Morgan State?? I always
wanted to attend a HBCU,
although Morgan wasn't my
first choice, I'm glad
that I came here. Are you
excited about graduation? I'm
more nervous than anything, I
have never attended my own
graduation ceremony, and don't really know
what to expect. I am also not having anxiety attacks like
so many graduating seniors because
I already received my diploma in
December. What's next for you? I
would love to work at a PR firm in
DC and buy a condo overlooking the
Potomac River, but unfortunately
that's not how life works. I am
currently looking for a job, but
have also gotten a part time
position working with a well known
tourism company, and plan travel
for extra income. What is one of
your favorite memories at
morgan? My favorite memories at
Morgan were the late nights that I
spent just relaxing with friends.
Laughing, watching TV, anything,
as long as we had fun. what is
going to be your legacy at
morgan? My legacy at Morgan will
be my relentless work for the
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community at
Morgan. I have worked since my freshman year to bring
awareness and understanding of the LGBT community to
members of our HBCU family, and feel good to leave that
work in the hands of another very talented woman.

Reginald Larkin “The Writer”
major: B.A in English
Why Morgan? I wanted to
attend an HBCU , where the
transition from home
(Cleveland) would be a smooth
one.
Are you excited about
graduation feeling optimistic
or pessimistic? I am
Optimistic and welcome the new opportunities that
graduation provides however, I would be lying if I didn't
acknowledge my anxiety about finding employment in this
economy. what's next for you? I am currently a candidate
for an awesome opportunity with the government, I do not
want to jinx it. I wont reveal more. However, When I find
out more I will make
it my business to let
you know.what is your
legacy at Morgan? My
legacy to Morgan State
University is my
writing. I have
written and edited a
number of projects
that have impacted the
university. I do not
think I am the best
writer but,
I do have a basis to
work from. what is one
of your best memories
of undergrad? There so
many to pick from however, My favorite memory would have to
be finding out I made it into the Morgan State University
Choir. That was an amazing experience that really exposed
me to a lot.

focus on what
they're going
through;
champions

they are

Lauren Kornegay “Leading Lady”
Major: Speech Communication
Why Morgan? I choose Morgan State University because it is in my blood.
This university was the first one that I
ever stepped foot on and two of my older
brothers attended Morgan State. I almost
made the mistake of attending a PWI, I
sure would've missed out on a lot. I
love Morgan State!
Are you excited about graduation?? I would say that the word "excited" is a
understatement on how I feel honestly. There isn't a word for me
to describe how excited I am for this day! However,graduating
from college is like a bittersweet feeling. I know that I have a
bright future ahead of me, but if I could relive my college
career over and over again, I definitely would. what's next for
you? What's next? Who knows!? I'm going wherever the wind takes me. I plan on starting a non- profit organization for
young children who've lost either one or
both parents. And hopefully
I'll be attending graduate
school next year for speech
pathology. But it's all in
God's hands. what is your
legacy at morgan? My legacy... I'm really not sure
to be honest. I know I've
affected many people in
different ways and that's
one thing I can say.
Whether through mentoring,
being a friend or even just
being a student. But I'm not
sure what would be the one thing that
people remember me by, you might have to ask
them. = D what is one of your best memories of
undergrad? I Love Morgan Day in April of 2009 was one of my best memories. That day changed my life forever. That day I began my
journey in Student Government Association, as Chief of Staff of
the Junior Class. That year I gained so much more than just
skills in SGA but I gained friends for a life time and knowledge
for myself to grow. And my how I've grown!
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love.
Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love
doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes
off you.”
- Maya Angelou
Lavell Allen “The CEO”
Major: Political Science
Why Morgan? Morgan State was my last choice. I was offered a
scholarship to Morgan in June
2006. I feel like it was the best
last minute decision I ever made.
Are you excited about
graduation?? I am very optimistic. I always expect the
best outcome once you achieve a high goal or milestone in your
life. Its only right that you expect the best.. what's next for
you? I am still working with my two business partners Duane Cheers and Cornelius Hairston on our company Movie Solution.
Movie Solution will soon be offered throughout the DC metro
train stations and we are working on Baltimore, NY, and Chicago.
Movie Solution is DVD Kiosk similar to Red Box but you have the
option to rent or buy Video games and DVDs. I am also in the
process of working to start and build my construction company. I
have always had a passion for commercial and residential real
estate. what is your legacy at Morgan? My legacy that I built at Morgan State had to be the Entertainment aspect. Working for
Def Jam and having meet and greets
with Major music artist like The
Dream, Rocko, Rick Ross,
Fabolous, Young Jeezy, Jeremih,
Lil Scrappy, Jadakiss, OJ Da
Juiceman, Electrick Red, Rakewon
from Wu Tang, and major events
like The BET BLACK COLLEGE TOUR
with special help from Morgan
State Student Activities Office.
I got tired people saying Howard
this Howard that, What about MSU.
So bringing 4 artist in one
semester meant a lot to the
popularity of Morgan State. My
legacy was to bring back the
Popularity of Morgan State
University. what is one of your
best memories of undergrad? My Best Memory had to be maintaining a 3.3 gpa my entire freshman year, and the Lil Wayne
concert for Homecoming lol...
