What do you love most about UD?
I love the support system from the UD community (professors, advisors, deans, resident assistants and friends). Everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand. I also love the atmosphere during campus events, especially basketball games.
What do you like most about your major?
I love the professors and advisors and how the whole department is like a family.
Favorite class at UD and why?
American Political Systems with Professor Devine. He made the class tough and interesting, and I learned a lot.
What piece of your academic journey has you most prepared to begin a career after graduation?
So far in my academic journey, my job at the CAS Dean's Office has prepared me most for a job after graduation. I have learned so many professional skills that I will be using in a career. My coworkers and the deans, specifically, have taught me so much about being successful. Working while managing classes has prepared me for real-world time management.
Why did you choose UD?
I chose UD because my grandfather went here and he was a huge part of my life and seeing him love UD made me love it growing up. When I visited, I loved the campus and how small and tight-knit the student body seemed to be.
