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.

Exercise Science
I’ve enjoyed all the exercise science courses I’ve taken especially because of how hands-on the labs are that you really get to engage in the subject. I am pursuing dentistry as a career and while it’s a unique path to take with this major, I have a wide scope of knowledge in exercise science that sets me apart from other students. I have learned so much about exercise and health and this all very much relates to your oral health!

Religion
Alongside students in and out of the classroom I listen to big questions, encourage personal reflection, and help cultivate engagement with the broader community. It helps to wrestle with how your purpose is connected to and plays out in the world we share.
