Art
There’s nothing better than seeing a student who’s never made a drawing ‘get it’ and recognize that they’re a creative person inside. So often our creativity has been suppressed in our youth — brining it out can be life-transforming.

Criminology and Criminal Justice
As a Criminology and Criminal Justice major, I was able to study under compassionate and experienced faculty. I originally wanted to join a federal agency such as the FBI or DHS. Through the faculty mentorship, I was able to find a career in academia that I’m passionate about, be admitted into a graduate program, do meaningful research on police bias and reform, and launch my life into the next step.

Undecided
I chose my major because I tried out a couple of courses in each major that I was deciding between, and I found myself looking forward to my communications classes more and more. I've also chosen to be a theatre arts minor, and I'm actually going to be able to graduate in three and a half years comfortably.
