Tell us a bit about the process of becoming the first Mister Stillman College.
It all started with recurring weekly meetings about the Black Male Initiative, which initially led to the conversation of bringing Mister Stillman to be the student director for this organization. I was asked to find a match for this position and I recommended myself and after that, the campaign process began. I went through multiple training [sessions] and interviews preparing me for the task and duties of Mister Stillman.
What does your position entail?
My duties consist of being an official representative for the college, serving as the student director for the Black Male Initiative, and serving as an ex-officio member of the Student Government Association.
What legacy do you hope to leave for the next Mr. Stillman College?
I plan to create and set the standard of who and what Mister Stillman stands for. I will exude high values and establish a favorable image of what the male population of Stillman should be. Encouraging young men to achieve academic excellence and the respect of womanhood is what I thrive on. I will leave a legacy of honor, discipline and manhood of the Stillman male for generations to come.
Williams echoes these sentiments in his platform, “Setting the Standard to Establish a Legacy.”
