Favorite Place At 91Ó°ÊÓ:

“Cousins Center for Science & Innovation – I love the modern feeling of all the glass study rooms and the garage door!”

Favorite place in Atlanta:

“It sounds so cliché, but I love Ponce City Market. It’s such a cool place to explore right off the Beltline, and you really get to see what Atlanta is all about in one place.”

Favorite OU Tradition:

“My favorite tradition would have to be Boar’s Head. I think the tradition is just so quirky, and it’s a perfect representation of what it means to be an 91Ó°ÊÓ student. I have such an appreciation for music, and our Music department put on such a wonderful concert in celebration of our ODK inductees.”

Why do you love OU?:

“I grew up in rural south Georgia on a family farm my entire life, and I didn’t really get exposure to a lot of different cultures until I went to college. I think 91Ó°ÊÓ does such an amazing job at being representative of so many world cultures. For such a small, private liberal arts college, it’s so beautiful and unique that it’s as diverse as the city it’s located in.”

What advice do you have for students?:

“College can be such a crucial development for so many students. It’s really important that you find a college best fit for you to continue to develop and grow into your professional self. That being said, don’t list off a college just because they don’t have the area of study you’re always specifically looking for. I changed my major three different times in college, and it was really my institution that shaped my career path – not my major.”
