A key academic experience would be my Anatomy class with Professor Donna Scarborough. Not only did she teach me about good study habits, but she also made me more confident as a student. I will always remember her class!

Alayna Banks, Key ߣߣÊÓÆµ Moment

Why ߣߣÊÓÆµ?

Out of all the universities I looked at, I chose ߣߣÊÓÆµ because of the beautiful campus and amazing opportunities.


How did you choose your major?

I originally was a Biology major, but I learned more about Speech Pathology and Audiology at orientation and decided that would be the fit for me.


Key Moment at ߣߣÊÓÆµ

A key academic experience would be my Anatomy class with Professor Donna Scarborough. Not only did she teach me about good study habits, but she also made me more confident as a student. I will always remember her class!


Another ߣߣÊÓÆµ Moment

This past fall semester, I was a Bridges Ambassador. Not only was it fun, but I also got to talk to the students I was assigned to about ߣߣÊÓÆµ University and how great the university is.


Other ߣߣÊÓÆµ Experience

Being a feature twirler in the ߣߣÊÓÆµ University Marching Band has definitely given me amazing opportunities, like traveling to Orlando and Arizona. In Arizona, we even got to perform with Snoop Dogg!


Advice to Prospective Students

Choosing ߣߣÊÓÆµ has been the best thing to happen to me. This place really feels like home, and I would not want it any other way!


What are your career goals?  

After I graduate, my goal is to be a speech therapist in a pediatric hospital. I would love to work with kids with speech disorders or disabilities in a medical setting.
