Is there a professor that has been particularly helpful to you?
Dr. Holland, my PPL 101 professor, had a profound impact on my first year in the Lott Institute. His engaging style and passion for leadership helped shape my understanding of what it means to effectively lead and navigate modern policymaking. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from his teaching and the Lott Institute's cast of exemplary faculty.

What is a particularly meaningful way you have engaged in a community either on or off campus?
A meaningful community engagement for me came during the spring of my freshman year. I had the opportunity to serve on the logistics committee for the Sigma Nu Charity Bowl, an event that raised over $300,000 for a paraplegic recipient and other worthy organizations on and around campus. It was a privilege to help organize the event, the football game and contribute to raising funds for such a cause.
