What is something important that you have learned while at Chapman?
Learning to take advantage of everything that comes your way is an incredibly important aspect of college life, especially Chapman. Even as a small school, there are always events going on, whether it be for Greek Life, sports, or the arts. I realized that to make the most out of my time here, it was important to consider every option. You'll be glad you do.

One of the most important things that you do during college is learn to be independent. Chapman has really allowed me to become my own person and decide what's best for me. The staff and professors are so supportive and help you make the best choices for you.

What is something important that you have learned while at Chapman?
I've learned to keep an open mind and be open to every new experience you can. I know when I came to school, I was coming from being a less-involved student in high school. If I wouldn't have branched out and gotten involved, I probably wouldn't have had the great time at Chapman that I have.

I feel at home on stage, and I've been part of bands (as the singer and guitarist), plays, and speech teams.

What is something important that you have learned while at Chapman?
Having a very "practical" double major in Creative Writing and Dance, I've learned how important it is to do what you love, even if it doesn't seem to make sense. Even something that is seemingly nonsensical can be great experience and open a lot of doors. I've been lucky enough to have great variety in my time at Chapman, and have gained so much from each experience. I've learned that well-roundedness and passion can go a long way in success.
Describe Orientation in 5 words or less.
Effervescent, new, hopeful, fantastic, joyful.

When I studied abroad in Scotland, I took bagpiping class at the National Piping center of Scotland. I'm, er…very talented at the bagpipes.
