Dr. Lawrence Muzinga is an associate professor for Accounting and Business. From his time at Morningside, his favorite memory is the new hiring of the president this last year.
When asked why that was his favorite memory, he responded with “It is my favorite memory because the new president is black.” There was no further explanation on the topic.
Dr. Muzinga then became curious to why he was asked the specific question. When he was told it was for Fundamentals of Journalism. He mentioned that his daughter, Tisia, was also a journalism. Tisia is a Fox 4 News anchor out of Dallas, Texas.
“She is very good at her job because she likes to talk a lot… just like her father,” he described his daughter. Dr. Muzinga then went on to show us some videos of Tisia on the news. He is a proud father.
After talking with Dr. Lawrence Muzinga, I found Jessica Lumsden at her desk. Jessica is an Administrative Coordinator at the Business office. She is very friendly and outgoing.
“Are you looking for anything?” Jessica asked as I approached her. After stating I was looking for a creatively bent paper clip, she responded, “I have a regular paper clip, but I can bend it. I am not too creative though.”
She grabbed a paper clip from a cup and tried to bend it in a spiral. She finished with the comment, “Here. I tried my best.”

Good follow-up question for Lawrence. Nicely done overall, Mandi.
