What is your favorite thing(s) about Fisher?
I love that Fisher is an environment which promotes active learning. All the professors are so interested in you as a student and go above and beyond to make your experience truly beneficial.
Why did you choose to attend Fisher?
Throughout high school, I looked into almost 50 different colleges and I learned a lot about what I liked in a college and what was essential for me. After attending several tours at Fisher and having an overnight stay, there was no doubt in my mind that Fisher was the place for me. From the small campus, to the outstanding professors, to the opportunities available to me, I knew that Fisher was where I wanted to spend my next four years.
What has been your best/most memorable experience at Fisher?
My most memorable experiences would be the fun activities and events that my friends and I have experienced. These events included: weekly movie night, Fall Fest, a trip to the Waterloo Outlets, and the Breast Cancer Walk.
What is your favorite meal/food at Ward-Haffey?
I love the Thanksgiving dinner. My favorite food would have to be mashed potatoes and garlic bread.
What was/is your favorite class/course? Why?
My favorite course was Leadership Through Self-Development. This course taught me so much about myself as a person and has helped promote active leadership and self-discovery. This class was part of my learning community and I was able to bond so much more with my fellow classmates and friends.
