Favorite quote: "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." - E.E. Cummings 
Why did you choose Shippensburg University? I chose Shippensburg because it has an excellent education program and I like that there is an elementary school on campus that I can be involved with.
What is your favorite thing that Ship has to offer? My favorite thing about Ship is the education program and the willingness of the professors to work with you.
What is your advice to incoming students? Try and step out of your comfort zone and get involved. I really flourished when I when I went to different organization meetings even if my friend did not want to come.
