Why USF?...
I decided to come to USF based on its location. It is close to everything the state of Florida can offer someone which includes the beach, theme parks, and great nightlife.

First Day...
I was fairly confident my first day at USF. The week prior to school starting I became involved with the Rugby team and they helped to show me around campus as well as the ins and outs here at USF.

Student activities ...
I am currently the Organizations Coordinator in the Student Life and Development division of the Student Government Executive branch. I have the best job on campus because I help shape tradition here at USF as well as assist student organizations in achieving their goals. I have also been the past president and social chairman of the USF Rugby Club as well as the Chairman of the Sports Club Council. When I look back on the work that I have done, it seems that I have positively affected all of the organizations I have been a part of.

Activities ...
The Marshall Center always has something going on either in the Underground or in the MLK plaza. I am excited about the possibilities the new Marshall Center will bring in 2008.

Professors ...
All of my professors here at USF have been wonderful with few exceptions. It seemed that all of them were very interested in the student and the importance of learning, not just teaching material.

Multiculturalism ...
A culturally diverse leaning environment will better prepare me for future positions in the job force.

Metropolitan area ...
I expect to stay local after I graduate and become an active alumni here in the Tampa area. The city of Tampa has so much to offer a young professional that there is really no reason to live anywhere else.

Global ...
USF has prepared me for everything the world can offer.
