Why did you decide to become involved with the Orientation program?
I applied to become a Resident Assistant, but I got selected to be an Orientation Team Leader instead. I ended up loving it so much that I kept reapplying.

What is your favorite thing to do at Michigan Tech?
I love hanging out with the really cool people that come to Michigan Tech. I also love the Friday night movies in Fisher.

What was your favorite class that you have ever taken?
My favorite class so far would have to be my Perspectives class (Creating the Drug Fiend) because I was very interested in getting a different perspective with the "War on Drugs."

Any advice for new students?
I would tell the new students to become more involved. This is the greatest way to build a large support network and make tons of friends.
