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!

Political Science
There are so many opportunities to get involved in the Political Science department. I was able to attend the Republican Presidential Debate at the Reagan Library, where I volunteered in the spin room. It gave me the opportunity to have a firsthand look at a crucial part of a political campaign.

Psychology
My favorite experience was becoming a Departmental Assistant. I loved working on psychology-related tasks and projects, getting to know fellow students and professors who have become great friends and mentors, and challenging myself to apply for the Honors Program, which I wouldn’t have heard of otherwise.
