My advice for freshman students coming into the College of Engineering and Computer Science is to never give up and remember that hard work pays off. It can be overwhelming at times due to the heavy course workload and the expectations professors have but anything is possible if you believe in yourself. At the end of the day, what matters are that you know you tried your best and you gave it your all!

The most fun activity I’ve been involved with at Wright State has been playing in the university’s Pep Band. We play fun and upbeat music at many of the basketball games in order to bring more excitement to the atmosphere of the game. Getting to go crazy with Wright State spirit wear, face paint, signs, and cheering for the team is always so much fun!
