Why USF?...
I decided to attend USF because they were willing to help finance my
education in conjunction with Bright Futures. I was amazed that USF
understood the importance of allowing their students to focus on
attaining an education and not on how to find money to pay
for it. |

Student activities ...
I am the Executive Director of the Campus Activity Board (CAB)
, and Ambassador and Event and Program Director for
Stampede of
Service. My involvement with student organizations has made the academia
of class applicable to the real world and the rest of my life. My
involvement has been motivation for me to learn time management skills,
professionalism, public speaking and how to conduct myself in any
situation. Involvement at USF is essential in having a complete
university.

Activities ...
Most of the time I stay on campus because there is plenty of
entertainment for free, but if I am feeling for something different, I
go and enjoy Tampa's vibrant Spanish life. |
|
Research ...
I have done research on the economic status of women in the Dominican
Republic and this has made me aware of what women all over the world are
struggling through. It also put into perspective how the world has
become intermingled in that the actions of one nation have an effect in
many other nations. |
|
Professors ...
My favorite professors have been all my professors in the
Africana
Studies Department such as Dr. Plant and Dr. Kissi. They challenge
their students to analytically think, write, sympathize and learn from
different perspectives that have previously been ignored. The research
and experience of my professors in their field fuels passion in their students on any topic. I also have to give credit to my Economics
advisor, Ms. Bartlett, because she never leads me astray or become
discouraged with my education. My professors and advisors really do
become your support team and cheer you all the way to graduation. |

Metropolitan area ...
Coming from Tallahassee, everything is either centered around politics
or the universities. In Tampa, the culture, entertainment and history
shines just as brightly as politics and the universities. Being in a
metropolitan city has enabled my ability to access better opportunities. |
|
Multiculturalism ...
USF is a preview of what the real world is going to be like. No longer
can people ignore or be ignorant about those around them or in the
world. USF provides a safe and open venue to ask questions and grow from
other cultures, races, ethnicities and religions. |
|
Global ...
By providing classes that are focused on international affairs, having
instructors that have
researched internationally and organizations on campus that are
internationally based. It was at USF that I discovered International
Student Volunteers where I volunteered in the Dominican Republic for a
month. |
