An honors experience I’ll never forget

The Discover Research Program. Want to feel like a scientist, working on research for a summer-long project, or potentially even more? I had so much fun working with the faculty at the digital futures XR labs, exploring the realm of Virtual reality and Alternate reality and beyond! something out of my major and field of study. Ever wondered if all of us were just holograms?

What my future holds

Guess what? I managed to complete all the required experiences for the University Honors Program in just one year. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but I wanted to challenge myself, and I did it! Now I'm looking to switch things up and explore different avenues. I'm even thinking about starting clubs or designing my own experiences. But that's not all. I'm really focused on becoming a stronger and more influential person – you know, someone that everyone can rely on. Embracing challenges and discomfort for personal growth. These university years are such a unique time, full of opportunities for self-discovery and growth. I'm all about finding that balance between academics, cool extracurricular stuff, and working on myself. I believe this approach will set me up for an awesome and impactful future. So yeah, that's the scoop on what's ahead for me in the University Honors Program and beyond. Exciting times, right?
