Congratulations to all of you! Carry your heads high. Help as many people as you can. Have courage and faith!

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.

Favorite Time at SCSU

My favorite part of my time at SCSU, would be seeing the morning views for my morning classes and seeing the views and sunset when I had night classes.

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

I’m going to miss the many events Southern through, and definitely the rush of not knowing if you would make it on time to class as a commuter was always a rush. I look forward to getting a job in my career.

Advice to Incoming Students

My advice is go to as many events as you can, I know as a someone commuted it can be hard or discouraging to try to attend them. But definitely give it a try they’re really good for making connections and memories.
