| Why did you choose Purdue? Purdue is a place I have been around all my life. My parents both came here. Purdue is a comfortable place for me. I have come to games since I was about two or three, and really it doesn't get any better than having a world class university 90 miles from home. |
| What is a typical day like for you? Usually, I will get up around 8:00 if I don’t' have a 7:30 class, maybe eat something, have about 2-4 classes with maybe a short break, go to band, get back to my apartment about 6:00-6:15, eat, do homework I haven't done in the afternoon, watch TV, and go to bed. |
| What are your career goals? To eventually be working in Sports Business or Sports Management in a major market. |
| What was your favorite course within your major? HIST 302-Religion in American Society HIST 351-Second World War |
| Describe your most memorable experience at Purdue? As a student, representing the University and country in Beijing for a pre-Olympic festival with the Purdue Bands. Overall, my dad taking me on the field at Ross-Ade Stadium as a kid, catching a ball from Travis Dorsch and highfiving Drew Brees after a game. |
|
What is a unique experience that you have had as a tour guide? I got to give a tour of Mackey Arena and go under the Engineering Mall to see the particle accelerator for a specialized tour. |
| Where is your favorite spot on campus? The Memorial Mall or the fountains on a nice day. You can look around and realize how beautiful campus is. |
| What would you tell prospective students about Purdue? In classes be prepared to work, but outside of them, with your friends, live every day to its fullest. Be open to change and different opinions. |
|
How has your Purdue experience been so far? Wonderful, something I would not change for anything. |
