| What’s the best advice you would give to an incoming student? It’s OK to not know what you want to major in or what you want to do. You don’t have to have everything figured out when you get to college or when you leave it. Have fun, get involved, and enjoy your experience. What Harry Potter House are you in? What’s a Harry Potter House? What’s one TV show or movie that you’ll stop and watch every time it’s on? Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones |

| What’s the best advice you would give to an incoming student? Ask ALL the questions. There are so many opportunities and resources that exist just to serve you so don’t be afraid to speak up – you may never know if you don’t ask. Do you collect anything? If so, what? Postcards! I love antique/thrift store finds and collecting them from my travels. With an unlimited budget, where would your next vacation be? Iceland, hands down. I’ve only visited once but would go back in a heartbeat. The food is expensive so I’d need an unlimited budget! |

| What’s one TV show or movie that you’ll stop and watch every time it’s on? Parks and Rec What Harry Potter House are you in? Slytherin What’s the best advice you would give to an incoming student? It’s okay if you don’t know what you want to study. Take the time to explore any program that interests you and learn all you can before making the most informed and best decision for you and what you want out of life. |

| What’s the best advice you would give to an incoming student? Never make choices out of fear. It’s okay to be afraid, but you really don’t know who you are until you get to experience yourself outside of your comfort zone. Be brave and see every challenge as an opportunity to grow and prove to yourself that you can do it. Think of how proud you’ll be years from now. If you could have one superpower, which would you choose? I would definitely want to be able to read minds. I’m nosy, but I also think it would be interesting to see how people’s inner thoughts are different from what they actually do and say. What Harry Potter House are you in? Slytherin. I was really upset when I found out because I thought for sure I would be Gryffindor and that I had the hair for Gryffindor but I’m okay with it now. |

| What’s the best advice you would give to an incoming student? Open as many doors as possible and don’t put limits on yourself. Take advantage of the resources available on campus, they are there for you! What is something that you think everyone should do at least once in their lives? Take a road trip across America and check out all the great places along the way! Do you collect anything? If so, what? Sports bobble heads! I have around 20; half at home and half at work. |

| What’s the best advice you would give to an incoming student? Do not be afraid to get involved! Step out of your comfort zone, make friends, and go out of your way to be involved in campus! What’s one TV show or movie that you’ll stop and watch every time it’s on? My all-time favorite movie will always be Elf. What is something that you think everyone should do at least once in their lives? TRAVEL! The world is such a big place and so often we get stuck in our daily routine and we forget what else is out there. |

| What’s the best advice you would give to an incoming student? Don’t ever limit yourself to doing just one thing. School isn’t just about getting a diploma to get a job, it is about learning HOW to learn and discovering how to use your talents to the best of your ability. With an unlimited budget, where would your next vacation be? My next vacation would definitely be Hawaii. I lived there when I was a kid and absolutely loved it! I have always wanted to go back, but not really sure if I would come back if I did… What’s one TV show or movie that you’ll stop and watch every time it’s on? Golden Girls is my all-time favorite show! I have seen every single episode and will watch it anytime I see it on TV. |

| What’s the best advice you would give to an incoming student? Take your time deciding on a major. It’s a huge decision to make. If you were President, what would your first act of business be? It would be a toss-up between providing universal healthcare at a reasonable price and eliminating Congressional Term limits. If a movie was made about you what would the title be? Just a Few Minutes Late. |
