Favorite thing about the college(s) you attended? An affordable option with a beautiful campus – I loved it when all the leaves were green and gold in the fall. I could also go to school and be close to my friends.

Favorite thing about the college(s) you attended: My favorite part of CMU was the university's size. It was big enough that something was always happening, but small enough that it was easy to find your community. The smallness of the university made it easy to plug into/take advantage of opportunities that interested you, like studying abroad, joining clubs, and attending events. It also meant that class sizes were small, so I could develop strong relationships with my professors who have carried on past college.

Hobbies: Reading, cooking, running, traveling, yoga, spending time with loved ones, and anything that involves laughter and being in the sunshine.

Favorite Quote:  “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” —Jackie Robinson

Favorite thing about the college(s) you attended? I loved all of the outdoor opportunities and making close lifelong friends. Staying up late chatting and being nerds with friends and roommates. The 1:1 attention of professors you get at a small school.

Hobbies: Anything related to the outdoors! Skiing and biking and fishing. Love cooking and trying new foods too.
