Best Advice for New Students:

My best advice for new students is get involved. Everybody says it but it really is so important. Try new things that you never thought you would be into and meet people you usually wouldn't talk to. If possible live on campus because it's a whole different experience. Overall, have fun but don?t forget why you're at Rowan University.

My Favorite Inspirational Quote, Phrase or Advice:

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is important to me because I try to always be passionate about the things I truly care to improve, alter, or create. Also I love this quote because it says to me that apathy won't bring success.
