  • Cross Country & Track: I was a student athlete during my time at SHU. It was an undertaking that forced me to develop excellent time management and helped me value a strong community.

    SALT: Short for Student Athlete Leadership Team, I was voted to represent the Women’s Cross Country & Track Team in bi-weekly meetings that advocated for improvements and equity amongst the sport teams.

    Chemistry Club: During my time in the Chemistry Club I helped put on a chemistry themed trivia night, bring in a guest speaker from Purdue University, and organize an elementary school STEAM night. All to help erase the stigma around chemistry and promote learning.

    Honors Program: While in the Honors Program, I was held to a higher standard of learning and surrounded by those at SHU who also valued higher education.

Why I transferred:

As a senior in high school, I wasn’t sure what I wanted in a college. I was fortunate to be able to tour colleges all over the country, where it became clear that I was looking for a small school that valued research. This lead me to applying to primarily liberal arts schools. In short, one of the best impulse decisions I have ever made lead me to Siena Heights University. I instantly found a community on the Cross Country team, quickly became involved in a wide range of extracurriculars, and connected strongly with many of my teachers. Half-way through the first semester I was approached by one of my professors urging me to transfer. SHU like many small liberal arts colleges was failing. While the school still stands today, in my time there I watched the school lose whole departments, half their staff, and respect of most faculty and students. I had an amazing support team (Shoutout Heather Moody P.h.D & Carlee Resh P.h.D) who helped me apply to various universities in and out of my comfort zone. Conversations with lecturers, researchers, and students in the EARTH department at Michigan made my choice obvious. It was not an easy decision to leave my friends, team, and respected professors behind, but I craved an education and opportunities that I could not get at SHU. Transferring has undoubtedly made me a more well rounded academic. It has also helped me further appreciate my time in and out of the classroom at Michigan.
