In 10 years, I will be…
In 10 years, I hope to be married, and maybe even have a child by then. I would also like to be very advanced in my career and make enough money for my family to live comfortably. A house with a white picket fence wouldn't be bad either!

What's the coolest thing you've done since you began attending Dana?
I think the most fun thing that I have done at Dana is Winterfest my sophomore year. I don't really know why that one was the best, but I just had a super fun time. The food wasn't the best, but the music and dancing was awesome!

Why did you choose Dana?
I chose to attend Dana because I liked the small environment. I wanted to be a name, not just a number like I would be at a big university.

What will you remember most about your time at Dana?
I will remember the people at Dana most. The professors know everyone by name and just by walking across campus everyone is friendly and says hi. Being a Resident Assistant also gave me the opportunity to get to know more students.

What's the best thing about living on campus?
The best thing about living on campus is the people that you meet and just knowing when things are going on. It's hard to keep up with activities and sporting events if you don't live on campus. You also get to know a lot more people better by living with them day in and day out.

What do you and your friends enjoy doing?
My friends and I enjoy going out and going to Dana sports to watch our friends play. We also enjoy attending Student Activity events and staying in some nights to play games or watch movies.

What college class has been the most fun for you and why?
My favorite class has been Small Group Communication. I think it's my favorite because my group worked really well together. We had a great time volunteering at a local nursing home and playing games with the residents. It was a great experience.

What kinds of real world experience have you gotten through Dana?
I did an internship this year during Discovery Term with Mercy Medical Services in Sioux City, Iowa. I got to see the behind-the-scenes in the finance department and got a good view of real-life management. I really learned a lot.
