Why did you choose USD?

I chose USD for many reasons, but the one reason that sticks-out in my mind is the feeling one gets when they step foot on campus. USD feels exactly how a college should feel and that is what drew me here.  

What inspired you to choose your major? 

In high school, I job shadowed at a hospital's foundation. I fell in love with the line of work and quickly learned the perfect degree for the job is public relations.

What is your favorite part about USD?

From academics to extra-curricular activities and study abroad opportunities, USD students are given the opportunity to become engaged in order to take on the world when they graduate.  

How is USD different than other schools?

I could not imagine going to school anywhere but here at USD. To me, the best part about going to USD is how you are not lost in the crowd.

What made a difference in your college experience?
Becoming involved on campus is what has made my college years so memorable. By joining the Greek community and other student organizations, I was given the opportunity to lead and to take on challenges.
What are your plans after graduation?

I hope to earn a job in fund-raising for either a non-profit organization or hospital.
