At William & Mary, a Celebration of Hip Hop

Abstract

It wasn’t long ago that Jerome Waller was a fixture on the campus of The College of William & Mary. Waller, who graduated in 2013, attended classes, studied in the library, and relaxed in the college’s iconic Sunken Garden. While keeping his focus on his studies — lest he disappoint his mother — he always found time to attend hip hop events on campus, even performing at a few. In April, Waller returned to his alma mater as a hip hop performer, joining over 100 students in Swem Library’s 2nd Annual Hip Hop Collection Celebration.
