Why I chose my major

I chose my major to gain a broader perspective on human development! By studying the complex connections between individuals, families, and their well-being, I have developed insights that will help me become a more empathetic and effective nurse for the future.

What I like most about FACS

What I love most about FACS is that, while it offers so many different majors, they are all connected by the shared goal of improving people’s lives. The college emphasizes helping others and learning how to serve communities better. What makes it especially meaningful is the faculty, who are deeply invested in their students' growth and truly want to make a lasting impact in our lives.

Post-graduation plans

I am going to nursing school to become a registered nurse.
