Leroy Simmons
Name: Leroy Simmons
Hometown: West Columbia, S.C.
Year in School: Junior
Major: Information Technology
In life, things change. Especially in the fast paced society we live in today, the current day can look much different than the previous. Thankfully for Leroy Simmons, change does not rattle him. Saying that one of his greatest assets is the ability to adapt to an ever-changing environment, Leroy describes himself with the word dynamic.
His personality couldn’t go any better with his field of study. Leroy is an information technology student with a heavy interest in cyber security. It doesn’t take an IT wiz to know that in order to respond adequately to the cyber threats that evolve and impact us all on a daily basis, the technology used to combat it must evolve at an even quicker pace, staying one step ahead. Doing this type of IT work is not easy, but it is a challenge that Leroy will gladly take once he graduates.
But that commencement ceremony is still down the road in May of 2018. Until then, Leroy will continue to keep busy with his academics and his involvement on campus. Among other groups, Leroy is a brother of the Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity and a member of the Coastal Activities Board. He also manages to put in hours working at the Chanticleer Store. Until he becomes a sought-after member of the work force because of his valuable set of skills, we hope Leroy thoroughly enjoys his final 14 months on campus.
