opened up doors to meeting many new people & I love being a part of such a big part of the student body, which is athletes.” –Lacy Williams

the USA, also its what allowed me to come here. Without tennis, I would not have any reason to be studying college here in the USA,” – Max De Juan

sparked my love of expressionistic dance through communication but has initiated campus involvement that I never believed I would enjoy when first coming to a larger school.” –Jamie Mayo

guys from all over the country and go places I’ve never gone before.” – Spencer Bond

to connect with people, especially when I was a freshman. I feel like it also allows those who love music no matter their major to have a place.” –Jesslyn Richards
