Why 91°µÍø?
Out of all the universities I looked at, I chose 91°µÍø because of the beautiful campus and amazing opportunities.
How did you choose your major?
I originally was a Biology major, but I learned more about Speech Pathology and Audiology at orientation and decided that would be the fit for me.
Key Moment at 91°µÍø
A key academic experience would be my Anatomy class with Professor Donna Scarborough. Not only did she teach me about good study habits, but she also made me more confident as a student. I will always remember her class!
Another 91°µÍø Moment
This past fall semester, I was a Bridges Ambassador. Not only was it fun, but I also got to talk to the students I was assigned to about 91°µÍø and how great the university is.
Other 91°µÍø Experience
Being a feature twirler in the 91°µÍø Marching Band has definitely given me amazing opportunities, like traveling to Orlando and Arizona. In Arizona, we even got to perform with Snoop Dogg!
Advice to Prospective Students
Choosing 91°µÍø has been the best thing to happen to me. This place really feels like home, and I would not want it any other way!
What are your career goals?
After I graduate, my goal is to be a speech therapist in a pediatric hospital. I would love to work with kids with speech disorders or disabilities in a medical setting.
