Read More freshmen to begin their first year minimizing factors of being overwhelmed. During these sessions we were provided mentors, the best of the best upperclassman to help acclimate us to campus. These mentors are called Legacy Leaders. Legacy Leaders has been a tradition at WSSU for many years and continues. Mentors, along with professors and other leaders taught us history of the school, gave tours, talked to us about real life situations, and signed us up for classes.
