 Kareem Williams, also known as Reem-God, Reem O Mighty, Tall-Dark-Handsome, TDH President, and In Reem We Trust. He truly plays a major role at SUNY Oneonta. He is not only well known for his basketball career, but also his intramural coaching job, his academic success, and his genuine personality that has made an impact on all the people he has met throughout his college career.

As an incoming freshman, Kareem faced moments of fear and excitement for what was to come. He knew that he needed to prove himself on and off the court in order to finish with success. Looking back, Kareem admits that there were times when he needed improvement. He understood that there were people on the team who invested strong competition, and that without his full commitment he could struggle.

Kareem faced some challenges when dealing with time management. Kareem prioritized being capable of holding a job, as well as excelling in all aspects of his Oneonta career. He notes that trying to balance work, athletics, academics, and a social life was far from easy- but he is thankful that it has made him a much better student overall. He even teases that he may try and “cop” a 4.0 this semester, and land a job in Manhattan.

Kareem has spent the last four and a half years in Oneonta, and May marks his final departure. He explains that there is nothing that he regrets during his time in Oneonta, and he feels that he took advantage of every opportunity that he was given. He has created friendships that will last a lifetime, and truly found a place that was nothing short of an amazing second home.
