What advice would you give to new students?

Get involved in something on campus. If you don't get involved then college is going to be very boring if all you do is go to class and go home. Getting involved in a fraternity or a sorority is a good way to make new friends and to have a lot of fun.

What has been your best SPSU extra-curricular activity?

I would say that my best extra-curricular activity would be joining Sigma Nu. Sigma Nu has taught me a lot about leadership and it has given me some awesome friends and brothers.

What has been your coolest SPSU experience so far?

Rush is a lot of fun every semester because it is always interesting to see what new ideas that people have come up with to get people to come out and have fun.

Why did you choose SPSU?

I came to SPSU to major in architecture, but that didn't last.

Why did you choose your major?

Well after I dropped out of architecture I knew that I wanted a more technical type degree. So I started talking to some of the older students that I knew around campus and they recommended Construction Engineering. After I took the intro course I knew that was where I needed to be.

What has been your favorite class?

My favorite class and professor are tied together. My favorite class so far has been Construction Measurements with John Lee. You can tell that Professor Lee really knew what he was talking about as he was teaching the class because it was something that he had done everyday to make a living. The class was fun because we got to go outside and learn how to operate different surveying equipment and block traffic while wearing our orange safety vests and fun stuff like that.
