Edric Bussie
Vice President, NAACP Howard Chapter
Columnist, The Hilltop Newspaper
Artist Author Abolitionist
Highly gifted and favored first-gen pre-law student at Howard University, with a deep commitment to social justice issues and equitable policy reform. Aspiring lawyer, investigative journalist, and creative writer. I write about people — politicians, celebrities and of course, myself — for my enjoyment. I spend a lot of time thinking about social codes, interpersonal relationships and cultural pull. I also write for the means of self-preservation.
Dr. Mika Turim-Nygren, Lecturer of Literature and Writing
Edric feels driven to serve as an advocate for change by pouring excellence into everything he does... Clearly, Edric’s dedication to creating lasting legal change goes well beyond lip service... Even in the context of a legendary HBCU campus that prides itself above all on its 'hustle culture,' Edric’s drive, devotion, and motivation are exceptional.
Jesse McCoy, Associate Clinical Professor of Law
While it is my belief that he will be a great addition to the legal profession, Mr. Bussie is equally equipped to be immensely successful as an attorney and as a policy analyst. Mr. Bussie is thorough, detailed in his analysis, and constantly focused on improving his written work product. Further, he has received several awards for his writing and research. It is my sincerest hope that he finds an avenue to continue his focus on the pursuit of equity for the Black community.
Claire Ullman, Ph.D., Director of Students for Voting Justice
I am constantly impressed by his intellectual curiosity, self-discipline, and ability to connect with others. Edric is without a doubt one of the most talented candidates I’ve ever hired... His drive to excel academically, coupled with his natural leadership and team-building skills, make him well-suited for his expressed aspiration of becoming an attorney.
