What is your favorite place on campus?
- My favorite place on campus is located on the Pedestrian Walkway. The Walkway is a timeline of the university’s history and you can leran some random facts about UT. Also on the Walkway, you can see Ayres Hall on top of the Hill as well as other predominant building that show UT’s rich tradition and history.
What surprised you most about coming to college?
- I was surprised to find out that I actually belong here. So many times before coming to a university, you hear that it is going to be tough and that you might not succeed. Even though your classes are tougher, your teachers have prepared you to succeed and you can do well, if you apply yourself.
What is your favorite extracurricular experience?
- I have had too many favorite extracurricular experiences so I will tell you about two.
This past year, our football team won the SEC Eastern Division and played in the SEC Championship in Atlanta against LSU. Somehow I got lucky and my seat was on the first row for the game! It was such an amazing experience, getting to cheer for the Vols with thousands of other UT fans. Even though we lost, this was one of my most memorable experiences.
One of my favorite organizations that I am involved with is Student Alumni Associates. SAA has given me the chance to interact with past, present, and future University of Tennessee students. Through SAA, I have had the chance to grow as a person, outside of the classroom as well as work on my professional social skills. SAA participates in many activities that impact our campus and it is one of my favorite organizations to be a part of.
