As a student, where did you leave your mark on campus?

As a student, I left my mark on campus in the OU Athletic Department. There, I spent a great deal of time not only working as a student, but also enjoyed cheering for our awesome student-athletes on the field of play, in the classroom, and in the community.

Define the OU Family in your own words.

The OU Family is a collection of students, alumni, faculty and supporters that have your back, no matter where you are in the world. It never fails, when I travel outside of Oklahoma, I see someone with an OU hat, shirt, or even bumper sticker. I love stopping to talk to them about all things OU! It is always so refreshing to feel at home, even if you're miles away from campus.

When was the moment you felt the greatest Sooner pride?

When I received my acceptance letter from OU, and was able to share the moment with my family of OU Alum.

What was the greatest gift you took with you after graduation?

Finding my future wife! - All while earning a degree and making life-long memories.

Reveal one secret about campus.

It is nothing top-secret, but I definitely recommend taking up the opportunity to study in the Great Reading Room at Bizzell Memorial Library. Also take the time to read the weekly "OU - What to Do" email. It is an awesome update that highlights all of the great events happening on campus, in Norman, and around OKC.

What is your favorite OU tradition?

Saturdays in the Fall!

What advice do you have for prospective students?

Get plugged into clubs and organizations! There are so many opportunities on campus that serve as great places to follow your passions, meet new friends, and add structure to your schedule.
