I can tell you that I came to UNCG just on an instinct.
It was the only place that felt right.
And it wasn't just the nature, it wasn't just the people. There was this energy
around the campus of, "We're here to have fun
and we're here to socialize, but we're here to work and we're here to make change
and we're here to do big things."
Some of the changes that I've seen in myself since I've been here at UNCG is just,
I've been really challenged, I've been really encouraged to come out of my comfort zone.
We value our students. We want to see our students succeed.
We want them while they're having their experience here
To be exposed to what it's like to interact with students from different cultures
what it's like to be a critical thinker.
At my school before I felt like I was just a number. Here, though,
my professors know me by name. I have a voice and they know who I am.
As a professor what I feel is
most important is to find
that passion.
Musical interlude ...
The great thing about UNCG's spirit is that you can create whatever you want out of that
pride.
You can create your own kind of passion.
It takes a lot of
guts
to say, "You know, this is what I'm going to do, this is how I see myself and I'm
going to express that."
We're the Spartans
and when you think of a Spartan, a Spartan is brave.
There's something about this place. If you have this dream
of doing something bigger for the world but don't know how to get there,
this is the place where you go to figure it out.
