What is your major and how do you feel that program is preparing you for a successful career?

Do you have a scholarship?

Yes

If you have a scholarship, how will your scholarship from SEMO help you graduate with less debt and what will that mean for your life after graduation?

I have the Catapult Student Gallery Manager scholarship. The funds from this scholarship have helped me with paying my tuition so that after graduation I will not have to worry about paying back loans.

SEMO faculty are often hugely helpful with students and willing to work with students.

Describe life on campus?

My experiences living on campus were nearly only great experiences. My first year I lived in a learning community and my floor formed a very close-knit group of friends. I have never had a roommate that didn’t become a good friend of mine.
