By As a college junior, Evolone Layne has spent every summer since getting accepted to Howard University, a prestigious HBCU in Washington DC, interning at companies including Apple and NASA because of her passion for STEM.She holds an interest in artificial intelligence after a trip to urgent care for a mystery bruise that was treated with Advil. Wouldn’t it be better, she thought, if health care practitioners could go to a computer that’s programmed to know what’s going on with our bodies?In addition to her commitment to science, Layne has a deep love of music, having once dreamt of being a vocal coach.
During her childhood, she studied music at an academic level, attending Mark Twain Intermediate School for the Gifted and Talented in Brooklyn and the famed LaGuardia High School in New York City.While she got excellent grades in these programs, she turned to STEM in college as a way to have a profitable career and use the creative skills she’d learned in school. “One thing I researched and realized is true is that when you’re in music, you’re very mathematically inclined and it’s natural.
When you’re looking at sheet music, math comes into it all the time even if you don’t notice it.”Since we named her one of Glamour’s 2022 College Women of the Year, we spoke with Layne about music, social media, and her drive to use artificial intelligence to help her community.Glamour: What’s one thing you wish more people knew about HBCUs?Evolone Layne: There’s this stigma that people hear HBCU and they think it’s easy. That going to an HBCU means things are handed to you or it means that you don’t know as much.
