Growing up around family and friends who are proud OU alumni, I had always heard about their fond memories created at the university. What I did not realize was how transformative my college years would be - personally and academically - and how much support is needed during that time. Over the past four years, I've found that support in the people of the Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences, and that's what makes it truly special. From passionate professors who believed in my potential to classmates who became lifelong friends, I found a true sense of purpose and community here. OU gave me not only the knowledge to succeed, but also the confidence to lead, serve, and make a difference. I’ll always carry this experience with deep gratitude and pride.
