Favorite Time at SCSU
My favorite part of being at SCSU is the community. In assembling Celebrating August Wilson, an event that celebrated a renowned playwright, I got to work closely with the SCSU Theatre Department, the Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management Department, and so many other students! It was amazing to plan and exciting to see so many people come together the day-of. I have nothing but love and admiration for the faculty and students at SCSU.
What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?
I am going to miss my classmates the most. Every single student has a unique perspective and way of approaching any given problem. I have learned so much from a myriad of students, regardless of their grade or field of study. I am looking forward to being a part of a creative team in whatever capacity I can be as well as helping people.
Advice to Incoming Students
Have an open mind. Listen to your instructors. Take time for yourself. Read as much as you can. Write as much as you can. Fail as much as you can. Most importantly, believe in yourself. When you view the world from a perspective where things are meant to happen for you, doors will begin to open. When those doors open, get out of your own way and enjoy the ride.
