What do you appreciate most about the Hub and why?
The Opportunity Hub is a one-stop shop for students looking to get a jump start on their professional careers, and it has been one of the biggest helps for me this year. Having the Hub's help in finding my internship made my freshman year an amazing experience.

What did you want to be when you were a first-year in high school, and how have your goals changed shape since you came to U-M?
When I was a first-year in high school, and all the way until the beginning of senior year, I was sure I would be majoring in a business-related field. As I learned more about what was out there in terms of fields and classes, it became clear that I was much more interested in what I study now. U-M showed me that I can and should explore different fields.

What is it about an LSA education that you've found the most exciting or valuable?
LSA offers a comprehensive education that encourages students to break out of their comfort zone. This past year especially, the LSA education I received made me look past what I thought college was going to be like and actually experience college.

What advice do you have for students for them to get the most out of their time in LSA and at U-M?
Being at college is a time to grow and develop; don't be afraid to explore and go out of your way to meet people! LSA encompasses so many different fields and you are bound to me a variety of interesting people.
