WHERE I COME FROM

I was born in Northwest Indiana in June 2000. I attended Merrillville High School for three years, and transferred to Naperville Central High School, my senior year. After, I started studies at North Central College in September of 2018. 

A THRIVING CAREER

I am Mikel L. Mays, an NCC undergrad student. I have had the pleasure of being apart of North Central College for 3 years. Within those three years, I have revived the Voices of Praise Gospel Choir, which has grown 100% every year. Today, we have new instruments, connections, singers, funds, and opportunities for the choir. 

​

In addition, I have been a treasurer of Black Student Association; Vice President, Tri-Alpha Honors Society; college advisory board member, Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce, commuter, and resident assistant.

​

Along with the leadership roles I have held I have been able to sit on many committees with amazing colleagues such as, the Day of Giving, fundraising committee that raised over $300,000 in one day; Gospel Extravaganza & Black History Month Planning Team, celebrating black history and gospel music in the culture; hiring committees and many more. 

​

Furthermore, I had the opportunity to help construct the Health Science building on 160 E Chicago Ave, Naperville, IL 60540. Moreover, I am the founder of Mays Music Centre of Excellence, a music centre providing a high-quality and diverse selection of music that is accessible and affordable for all. 

​

All of these experiences have helped me get a well-rounded understanding of the campus and the individuals that make up this campus, YOU. I plan on leveraging these experiences and connections to make Fall 2021 the most productive, welcoming, and advancing semester yet! 

MISSION STATEMENT

Progressing Together

My goal is to bring together the ideas of multiple classifications across campus, in order to produce an environment that is progressive and productive. I promise to actively work on student feedback and fight continuously for the voices of our student body. I will work with the necessary parties to produce policy and concerns quickly. I promise to Strive Together.
