Former Howard student settles over mental health withdrawal
A former Howard University student faced major barriers continuing his education after a mental health crisis. Now he’s on a mission to help others in the same situation. When Durmerrick Ross left Howard University after a mental health crisis in the middle of his freshman year, he wasn’t sure at first if he wanted to continue there for his sophomore year or transfer to a public college in his home state of Texas. But when he eventually began applying to other colleges as a transfer student, he ran into an unexpected barrier: while he thought he had withdrawn midway through the spring semester, his transcript showed Fs for every class that term.
