Why USF?...
Tampa was the biggest reason why I picked USF; I loved the town when I came to visit. They also have a great Accounting program.

Student activities ...
During my first semester, I got involved with Alpha Kappa Psi, which helped me get involved campus-wide. I played intramural sports, participated in community service projects and got involved in sporting events. Also, they really taught me to get out there and be more of a leader. Now here I am, second year, the Executive Director of the Homecoming Steering Committee which is an amazing honor. All these things are great experiences for my future success in the business world. With all the challenges I face, scheduling commitments I have and team work building, I am gaining priceless knowledge that will only help me excel in my future.

Activities ...
I just like hanging around Java City in the Business building, Cooper Hall, Marshall Center. Entertainment: EVERYTHING!

Professors ...
My favorite professors are Jen Brack, Mark Dummeldinger and Susan Cox. They all have great enthusiasm and genuinely care about their students and go far and above the responsibilities of a professor.

Multiculturalism ...
Being exposed to the cultural diversity really helps not only for your future endeavors, but helps break down all the stereotypes that are out there in the world.

Metropolitan area ...
Tampa was the main reason why I picked USF; also, the longer I am here the harder it’s going to be to leave. I might just open my business here and stay.

Global ...
Serving on two separate executive boards since being here, it opened my eyes to how many people your events and activities affect. It is scary to think once I graduate the $45,000+ is going to turn into millions, and just in case I get really famous, BILLIONS!!!!!
