What’s been your favorite course at Butler so far and why?
My favorite course has been Applied Portfolio Management through my finance major, where each group is given different market sectors and has the task of recommending different stocks to invest in. This class not only has been a great learning experience, but it has been a lot of fun for me. I enjoy being able to search different companies and make a guess on whether it is a good investment or not.
What is it like to be a part of the Butler Community? Who is your Butler Community?
Being part of the Butler community is always one of the highlights of my day. I always see somebody that I know, and I never walk on campus without talking to one of my friends. My Butler community not only consists of my best friends, but also my professors, my advisors, and the administration staff I connect with every day.
How will your Butler experience help you after graduation?
My Butler experience has shown me that hard work and dedication brings success. Bringing this mindset to every aspect of my life will result in my future successes.
What’s your favorite memory of your Butler experience, so far?
My favorite Butler memory was Target Takeover during Welcome Week 2017. As a regular favorite, our First-Year students and the orientation team took over Target late in the night and had a great time with fun games and a dance floor. Being an orientation coordinator that planned this event, seeing the students and the orientation team enjoy themselves was a great payout to the countless hours I put in.
What were your primary factors in making your college decision?
When I looked for a college, I wanted a school that was smaller in size and would invest in me as a person. In my only Butler visit, I knew that I would be taken care of here. Every student, professor, and faculty member that I talked to had an interest in my background and why I was visiting campus. They cared about why I was there and wanted to see me succeed.
What makes you most proud to be a Bulldog?
The people here at Butler makes me most proud to be a Bulldog. Everyone here cares about each other and we all put forth great effort in making sure we all succeed.
What does the Butler Way mean to you?
To me, the Butler Way is never giving up, asking for help when you need it, and taking pride in what you do. Here at Butler, we all have an end goal, but how we get there is special. We care about ourselves, about others, and put our best foot forward when achieving our goals
