Where is your hometown?
Wichita, KS

What's your favorite thing about Wichita State?
I love the campus. I think it is beautiful, especially in the fall when the leaves are changing colors. I also really enjoy the outdoor sculpture collection. It's like an outdoor museum.

What's your favorite Shocker sports team?
Baseball - There's nothing quite like sitting on Coleman Hill and watching a game while the sun sets on a nice evening.

What's your favorite part of Wichita?
Downtown, because there is always something going on and it's so vibrant and alive.

Why should a student come to Wichita State?
Because of our faculty and staff. You will never feel like a number in a seat. Personal attention is possible in every classroom.

What's the best advice you ever received about going to college?
Take the more difficult classes in the fall when the weather is cooler. You will be more in "back-to-school" mode and will study more. Leave the more exciting classes for the spring.
