Kirsten ClawsonYear: Senior How do you prioritize your time?

Matthew HarterYear: Sophomore How do you prioritize your time?
“I have to use a combination of the calendar on my computer along with my mortar board to devise schedules of when to work on different projects ahead of time so I then have time allotted to study for exams which seem to come on a weekly basis. It also makes sure I keep up with extracurricular events I need to participate in or organize. With out my mortar board and laptop, I would be lost at school.” |

“After graduation, I think I'll miss the community of Purdue the most. I've met so many amazing people, created so many friendships, and made so many memories.

Purdue has become a second home to me and I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've been given from being a part of such an awesome university. My Boilermaker pride runs deep, so even after I am graduated, I'll always feel like I am a part of the Purdue community!” |
