Clubs or extra-curricular involvement?
I am on the cheer team, a leader of an Athletes in Action group, and a student ambassador for the Admissions department.
What is your favorite CUAA pastime or spot on campus?
My favorite memory at CUAA was cheering at the Homecoming football game my freshman year.
What’s helping you to stay positive during this pandemic?
My roommates and I have had lots of movie nights and I’m very thankful that I’m still able to cheer this year!
What would you share with prospective students who are considering attending CUAA?
Coming to CUAA was the best decision I’ve ever made. I have made so many life long friends. I’ve already learned so much within our School of Education, being able to go to fieldwork is so motivating and Concordia is the only university I know that allows you to do that.
If you could give a piece of advice to your fellow Concordia students, what would you say?
Finish strong during finals week and have faith that God has a purpose for all of the craziness in 2020.
