B.B.A. in Business Administration and Concentration in Information Systems & Technology, Shenandoah University

Hometown: Stephens City, VA.

My favorite spots around SU: My favorite spot is split between the pond at Shenandoah and the Hideaway Cafe downtown.

What makes SU special to you: I grew up in and around SU, between sports camps over the summer to volunteering in high school, so it only felt natural to complete the course. As a young adult, SU taught me a lot about what kind of person I wanted to be in the world both professionally and personally. The Business School fostered a love of community service while cultivating the technical skills I needed to go out and be successful in the world.

My advice: Visit campuses to experience it for yourself. If all you know about the college is what they tell you in advertisements, or emails, or on the phone, you only know the campus through the eyes of someone else. Being able to have a choice and then be able to make the choice for yourself based on your own experiences and perceptions is what makes the whole experience memorable.
