 What’s Up SC State, it’s your girl Sincerely, Aneace Janel and were back with another episode of Campus Connection. Today we sat down with Dr. Demi T. Washington, Professor of English and Communication here at SC State. We got to dig a bit of his background, his thoughts on cultural differences, and where he sees himself in the future. 

 Take A Listen! 

 

SOT: Dr. Demi Washington:

In: "3 masters.."

Out: "Well the goal..."

Time:  5:00

 

 As a graduate of Denmark Olar High School from Denmark, SC Dr. Demi Washington went on through life over several years obtaining a total number of 3 master’s degrees, 1 PhD, 1 bachelor’s degree, and currently working on completing his EDD (Doctor of Education). After some extenuating circumstances, Washington joined SC State University in 2020 as an adjunct instructor in the Department of English and Communication. He is now working as a full time Instructor teaching four courses from a pool of courses in both the journalism and broadcasting concentrations.

 Many Degrees

 In the pursuit of obtaining his degrees, Dr. Washington attended many colleges including well known HBCUs like Morehouse, Savannah State Univ, Norfolk State and finally Jackson State University but his most proud degree would come from Northwestern where he obtained his Masters. Though he was surrounded by students that attended well known PWIs like Purdue, Drake, and NYU, Dr Washington credits Jackson State University for being apart of his learning that set him up for a major success.

Cultural Differences 

 Though HBCUs have been part of Dr. Washington’s foundation for obtaining his number or degrees, he insists there is no slight towards HBCUs but does not see himself at State in the near future. Wanting to live in more of a “melting pot” environment, Washington insist on only giving Orangeburg/SCSU another three more years of teaching before moving on. Dr Washington’s future goal is to be the VPAA of a PWI like Virginia Tech, Loyola in Illinois Chicago, Florida State, or the University of Michigan.
