What activities are you involved with at Oswego?
I am currently involved with several extra-curricular activities on campus.  I am a student worker in the Admissions Office and spend the majority of my time giving tours and helping perspective students.  I'm also involved with the Outdoor Club, Intramural Broomball and Indoor Intramural Soccer.

Why did you choose Oswego?
I choose SUNY Oswego because of it felt like the place to be.  The School of Liberal Arts has a well-known reputation of giving students the skills they need to succeed in their future careers.  The Public Justice program has done just that for me.  I have already made plans for what I would like to do after I graduate and I am nothing but excited! I am very happy with my decision to come to SUNY Oswego and I appreciate every moment I'm here. 

What is the best thing about your major?
The best thing about my major is learning about our American judicial system.  I love learning about the different criminal and civil procedures and how they affect our lives every day.  I have become more aware, and I feel overall, more confident as a student because my professors have pushed me to be the student I am.  I actually look forward to attend my classes' every day. 

Generally speaking, what impact has the Oswego faculty had on you?
The Oswego faculty has made me a more involved student.  I am more likely to engage in conversation and join clubs because I feel like this is a place I can feel comfortable and be who I really am.  

What's the best thing about SUNY Oswego?
The best thing about SUNY Oswego is the atmosphere on campus.  The students are all very friendly and it's very hard to walk to class without getting a "hi how are you today?"  I have made a lot of great friends that I wouldn't have the opportunity to meet in high school.    

What opportunities has Oswego given you that you never had before?
While a student at Oswego I have had the opportunity to meet students all over the world.  I have met people from all over central New York, the United States and even cities in Asia!  I have been able to meet these students and see how different our cultures are first hand.  I love every minute that I'm at Oswego and I love meeting all different kinds of people from around the world.
