My name is Corey Morgan and I’m a sophomore here at Boise State! My major is currently psychology with a minor in leadership which I hope to use to later become a part of the DEA. Oh...and I’m a diehard Boise State fan!
My hobbies....too many to list! I love to be extremely active, which is why Lifetime Recreation is awesome! I love running, hiking, playing any type of sport you can think of and overall just keeping busy. I am also a part of the Boise State Baseball team. Outside of being active, I like to read, hangout, and just get to know people better to help them with anything I can!
Through this program I hope individuals can seek guidance through academic and personal life, while at the same time learning more about themselves physically and enjoying the great outdoors. Being successful in college is all about finding a balance between school and social life. As an individual and part of a group, this community can help you find that balance and lead you down the road of success.
