  • Kylah + Candles
    "I’ve always had such a great love for my culture and people, so I thought ‘what if I could find a way to combine these two interests together and create my own business?’” she says. “I’ve always known I wanted to create something that celebrated Black culture, but the idea to do this with candles was something that was relatively new to me."

    “We were competitive academically and athletically — and we had a lot of fun,”
  • 761st Battalion
    Paul Bates ’31 was an Economics major and member of the ROTC. He became a colonel in the U.S. Army, where he advocated for the 761st Tank Battalion — the Black Panthers — during WWII. In 2007, McDaniel posthumously honored Colonel Bates with the Trustee Alumni Award, and every spring awards the Bates Award to the most outstanding male graduating senior.
