Institute alumnus Darius Graham (pictured at right with fellow Florida A&M students at a Books All Around library in Tallahassee, FL) was featured in a College Bound Teen Magazine article entitled, “Big Name, Big Deal.” The story posed the argument that students don't need to go to big name schools to create names for themselves.

College Bound Teen Magazine is one of the most popular college advice magazines in the country. It has rapidly gained popularity among high school juniors and seniors. With a growing online readership, College Bound Teen is significantly impacting important decisions that high school students make every year.

In the article, Darius points out that his attendance at Florida A&M University gave him a great opportunity to implement his program, Books All Around (more details on page 15). While the original plan was to distribute books solely around the Tallahassee area, Darius's bigger plans led to a nationwide effort.
