    Class of 2025

    Hometown: Arkansas

    Major(s): English
    Minor(s): Computer Science and Japanese

    Academic and Campus Involvement:

    I have always had a profound connection with literature, with symbolism. I
    have never taken for granted the mundane and its beauty. In everything I see a story that has been told, or one that is there to tell– there is no guarantee that anyone else will see the same stories I do when I see simple things. A chipped coffee mug, hideous-but-well-worn sheets, a stuffed bear with a torn ear. Why risk no one telling these stories when I can?

    Class of 2025

    Hometown: Sevilla, Spain 

    Major: Finance

    Academic and Campus Involvement:

    I chose finance for a major since I always have had a great interest in business organizations and their functions, got to know better how all departments work and found out that finance and investments were my passions. I love to study different theories, observe how money changes, and determine where it is better used.

    Class of 2027

    Hometown: Murree, Pakistan 

    Major: Computer Engineering 

    Academic and Campus Involvement:

    I chose computer engineering for a major as it is a powerful dynamic and ever-evolving field with applications in almost every field that exists with some of the highest-paying jobs as well as a broad spectrum of opportunities. The most exciting part of it is that it requires a blend of creativity, technical knowledge, and problem-solving skills that can innovate and improve every field.
