Why did you choose Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ?

I choose to attend Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ because of the tight-knit community, which has offered me the possibility to get the most of my education with smaller class sizes, and a personalized experience.

In what ways are you involved on campus?

I am starting a philosophy club with some of my peers and on a few other associations and clubs throughout campus. I enjoy how easy it is to get involved on campus with numerous groups readily available. Its even super easy to reach out to a professor with interest abotu starting a club.

What advice would you give to a prospective student?

I would say the best advice for a future first-year student would be to get involved on campus. There are loads of activities that accommodate both commuter and resident students' schedules, so I would recommend participating in activities like BINGO, and UNO game nights. It's a great way to meet new places, and also win some incredible prizes!

What excites you most about being a tour guide?

I believe the most exciting part of being a tour guide is getting to share my personal experiences about Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ with a wider variety of individuals. For a community that has already given me so much, I am very thankful to have the ability to represent Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ and speak on behalf of the entire Wildcat family as to the amazing relationships and experiences that are built here at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ.

What is your most memorable moment at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ?

My most memorable moment here at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ would be the first BINGO night. At Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, BINGO night draws a very large crowd and tends to be one of the most monumental, high-energy moments of the weak. You get a sense of being, and community since everyone shows up to this event, and spirits are high.

How has Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ changed or shaped your life?

Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ has put me on the correct path toward accomplishing my life goals and has set me up for success. At Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, each experience is highly personable to their own life goals and aspirations, which allows for you to go off the beaten path. With a multitude of different resources available to you, Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ offers the opportunity to customize your education, and I truly feel that the accommodating nature of the University has allowed me to tailor my plans to my own academic needs and interests.

Who inspires you the most?

I am most inspired by my mother because of her resilience, and hard-working personality. Her individuality and caring spirit are the reason I grew up so surrounded by love, and I truly believe that I wouldn't be who I am today without her. She truly is that "super-hero" mom that everyone wishes they had, I just got super lucky to have her.
