What’s the best thing about being a Bulldog?
The best thing about being a Bulldog is the endless support from the Butler community. Faculty members, students, and alumni are kind and willing to share any information or guidance they can. A helping hand is always ready to assist inside or outside the classroom. There are endless opportunities to succeed at Butler. 

What’s your favorite student activity?
My favorite student activity is being a part of the dance team. The dance team has provided me with countless opportunities to show my school spirit. I love attending all the various sporting events to cheer. At Butler, there are many ways to show your Bulldog pride and get involved on campus. 

What’s your favorite spot on campus?
My favorite spot on campus is the historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. Hinkle magic is real and undeniable as soon as you set foot inside the building.

Which faculty member has inspired you the most and why?
A faculty member who has inspired me most is my coach, Paige Camp. She is passionate about each athlete and ensures we are cared for mentally and physically. She is an ER nurse, in addition to coaching at Butler. Her grace, dedication to the team, and her enthusiasm for Butler inspire me.
