Cum Laude

Being a part of the Class of 2022 has definitely been a unique experience. Experiencing a pandemic first hand, especially as a public health major, was definitely not something I expected but I think my classmates and I did great work considering our circumstances. And all that hard work paid off, because we did it!!! Congratulations everyone!

Favorite Time at SCSU

SCSU really put effort in their events, especially during community hour. I’ve definitely got a lot of things to keep as mementos from my time at Southern, like t-shirts, stuffed animals, raffle prizes, and of course photos with my friends!

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

I will definitely miss the friendly atmosphere at Southern, and just little things like meeting friends at the bagel wagon or being able to just head to my favorite food spots after class. However, I am looking forward to starting my MPH program at Sacred Heart University!

Advice to Incoming Students

As cliché as it may sound, you don’t need to have your career or major figured out as soon as you start college. I started my freshman year as one major that I wasn’t very happy about, and ended up finding my true calling by the time I was a sophomore. And make sure to attend as many events as possible, cause it’s definitely worth it!
