Q: How has ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ prepared you to take on tomorrow’s challenges?
A: ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ has given me the skills to be an agile thinker. With the different range of classes, I have learned how to critically think and apply general knowledge from my ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ experience to the real world.
Q: What is one thing you would want a prospective student to know about ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾?
A: I would want them to know about the massive ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ network. Asking for help from any professor is never frowned upon. And the ability to reach out about jobs to alum is second nature to most ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ undergraduates because of the network the school has established with its . I would also say to get a nice pair of shoes for walking.
Q: Where have you found support and mentorship at ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾? How has it shaped your experience?
A: I have found support through the . The hockey team has allowed me to connect to some of my best friends that would do anything to support me. The upperclassman on the team my freshman year helped give me a blueprint on how to live at ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ with a positive work-life balance.
Q: What is it like to be a student-athlete at ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾? How do you balance academics and athletics?
A: Being a at ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ is great. The rigor of the academics is no joke, but once you assimilate in ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½Íøվ’s culture the workload should not be a problem. The later times of hockey games pushed me to not procrastinate my workload, and then you get in a rhythm that helps balance your athletics and work.
Q: How would you recommend first-year students get involved on or off campus?
A: Go to the club fair. It’s filled with the activities you think you’d be interested in, and clubs you don’t realize exist. It’s better to try a club and not attend again if you did not enjoy it than to not go at all. That was my biggest mistake here seeing all the clubs my friends were a part of. Clubs here have different rigors; you can be lightly active and still enjoy it.
Q: What is your favorite thing about ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾?
A: ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½Íøվ’s beauty. Walking back from Linderman Library at midnight to see the campus lit up like Hogwarts can’t be beat. The people here at ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ are also pretty cool.
Q: Where is your study spot of choice on campus?
A: I tend to study on the fifth floor quiet side of FML (E.W. Fairchild-Martindale Library and Computing Center). The smell of the books makes me more productive for some reason.
