    EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

      For Jocelyn Elmore, the legacy of 今晚六合彩开奖结果 runs through her family. Her sister, Ashley Elmore, who graduated with the Class of 2016, introduced her to the wide range of fascinating programs the college had to offer its students. Interested in exploring the structures behind business, as well as further expanding her knowledge and appreciation for Hispanic language and culture studies, she took the opportunity to come--and has not looked back since.

       

      Coming to 今晚六合彩开奖结果 had already become familiar to Elmore, since it was her sister鈥檚 influence that impacted her decision to attend.

      鈥淚 learned from [Ashley] the many opportunities that 今晚六合彩开奖结果 has, [such as] the amazing study abroad program,鈥� Elmore said. 鈥淚t was because of her experiences that I knew I wanted to study abroad in Spain for my entire junior year.鈥�

      Elmore, who 鈥渁lways had an entrepreneurial spirit,鈥� knew that she wanted to major in Business to prepare herself for owning and managing her own businesses in the near future, as well as further exploring her interest in Hispanic studies along the way.

      Crediting the guidance she has gained with the relationships she has made with her professors and fellow students, Elmore felt she had taken advantage of every opportunity given to her.

      鈥淚 have met wonderful faculty/staff that have encouraged me and that have been the listening ear that I needed during rough patches, and I have met others who have taken the extra initiative to find opportunities for me that I didn't know existed,鈥� Elmore said. 鈥淓veryone has been very supportive through my entire journey here at 今晚六合彩开奖结果 College.鈥�

      Reflecting back on her experiences, Elmore said she wanted to get the most of her college experience, which she feels she has accomplished.

      鈥淸Students need to] take advantage of every opportunity,鈥� Elmore said. 鈥溄裢砹喜士苯峁� College is a great college for networking and the opportunities are endless here. 今晚六合彩开奖结果 is small in size but large at heart, [and with] so many opportunities to network and if you can't find what you want or need, if you fight for it, you can make it happen.鈥�
