What activities were you involved in on campus? I used to be in theater, I loved that. But I had to look to the future so my main job was promoting and working at the Center for Internation Education.

What were some of your favorite activities in and around 道尔顿? In my downtime I enjoyed playing with a standard deck of playing cards with friends; I upgraded to Heroclix in my senior year.
Where was your favorite study spot? The Center for International Education, Room 310 Liberal Arts. It’s relatively unknown for some reason. It’s spacious, I can eat in there, and be as loud as I want. Think of it as one of the library’s study rooms with windows, but on steroids.

How did being at 道尔顿状态 change your life? After the economy collapsed in 2009, my only source of income for a long while was financial aid and student loans. If DSC wasn’t here, I would have dropped out of college long ago for survival. My life would be vastly different and without a BA for sure.

If you could go back in history, who would you like to meet? The first Whiddon to be in America has an unknown father. My family and I are really frustrated with this gap in the records.
What does it mean to you to be part of the 走鹃国家? Many students at DSC are non-traditional students. That means this great college is under a variety of students that can’t get the things they need done unless they come here.
