Why do you want to be a part of Homecoming royalty?
I would like to be a part of Homecoming royalty for what it represents for those who support me and have helped me develop into the person that I am today. It’s not about me as an individual winning for my own sake but serves as a representation of the effect that students, staff and faculty have had on me in my time at the University.
How has your experience on campus been?
My time at BG has been everything that I could’ve wanted and more. I’ve gotten to meet people from diverse backgrounds and have had opportunities to have an positive impact on the community around me through Alpha Tau Omega and The Interfraternity Council as the Vice President of Membership Development.

Why do you want to be a part of Homecoming royalty?
I want to be a part of Homecoming royalty because it is a way for me to give back to the University. This school has provided me with numerous opportunities for growth and experiences in my life, and I couldn’t be more thankful. It is a huge way for me to say thank you and give back.
How has your experience on campus been?
My time at the University has gone by too fast! These past four years have truly flown by, and I am going to miss it when I graduate. From going to endless sporting games to eating one too many plates of food at the Oaks, I have been able to call this place a home since day one.

Why do you want to be a part of Homecoming royalty?
Being on Homecoming Court is a great way to meet Bowling Green community members, interact with BGSU alum and get students and faculty members excited about the Homecoming events throughout the week and the big game on Saturday.
How has your experience on campus been?
My college career has been everything I have ever hoped for and more, all thanks to BGSU. There are so many opportunities to get involved, gain professional skills and grow as an individual here. Every day, I feel welcome; it is such a warm, friendly and outgoing community, and I feel like I belong and that I have a purpose.
