Why Student Involvement?

Getting involved on campus is as important as going to class. Take time to explore something new, learn outside the classroom, and make a difference in your community.

I’m a social introvert, but can be easily hyped up to try new things- even if I’m scared. I enjoy training for long distance runs, ice fishing and camping with my husband and two kids, and photobooking. I could eat sushi every day, and I add a little Tapatio onto almost everything I eat. I take pride in being the first in my family to go to college and properly cracking open yummy coconuts.
