My favorite place on campus is sitting outside the Rinker Welcome Center. I love socializing, enjoying the weather, admiring the view and studying outside.

What is your most meaningful experience at Stetson?

I have a lot of meaningful experiences at Stetson. One of my most meaningful experiences was my first time observing in a Kindergarden class. Stetson University has given me so many opportunities to grow, flourish and continue my passion.

Why did you choose Stetson University?

Stetson University was a school that stood out to me! I came from New Jersey to Florida. My great grandmother went to school at Stetson. I got mail from Stetson and then I realized I had to take a tour. I toured the campus and instantly fell in love. I could feel a strong sense of community, welcoming, and safety. So, I decided to try it out! I have no regret, coming to Stetson University it was the best choice I ever made.

What is your favorite Stetson Tradition?

My favorite tradition is wearing green on Friday's. I believe this tradition creates a sense of culture. It is so fun to see everyone wearing green. (P.S. if you don't wear green The Varsity Team will give you a ticket:) (Example: Do 10 jumping jack as a ticket)
