Chemistry

My friends, it has truly been an amazing last few years with all of you. I am also so proud of all of us for what we’ve done in order to get here. It wasn’t always easy but we made our way through. We even went through a pandemic together. I am very thankful for all the friends I have made during my time here and all the fun memories that came with you guys! In college I came out of my shell and had some of the best years of my life thanks to a lot of you. I will miss hanging out with you guys on a daily basis and hope to stay in touch. Congratulations to everyone here and all best to you!

Favorite Time at SCSU

I would have to say that my favorite part of my time here was joining the Programs Council in Student Involvement. I found an amazing job and met a surplus of fun individuals that I called both my coworkers and friends. The job gave me an incredible opportunity to build my leadership skills while running events for the student body.

What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?

I’m going to miss hanging out with my friends on a daily basis. But I am looking forward to see where life takes me as an adult.

Advice to Incoming Students

Don’t be afraid to come out of your shells. I was very introverted most of my childhood and when I got to college I really came out and found a group of friends that have stuck with me all the way. Because of this, I have had so many fun experiences that I will always remember. Take advantage of this time period in your lives.
