Norfolk, VA
At Shenandoah I realized very quickly that I could be involved in everything I wanted to take part in. I took advantage of all the resources and activities -- such as leading clubs/organizations, going on all the different trips with Student Engagement and mentoring First-Year Seminar classes, all while playing a varsity sport (field hockey). Shenandoah allowed me to succeed on the field as well as in the classroom and even in the SU community.
