Engaging, exciting, worthwhile, enthralling, enlightening

I believe UHP is a good fit for me because of the opportunities it offers. Whether that's study tours, engaging seminars, or the research opportunities, I can always find something invaluable I can put my time to. Also, without UHP, I doubt I would be nearly as ready for the professional world that is to come.

My favorite honors experience was a study tour I just finished at the end of my freshman year called Art, Architecture, and Engineering in Ancient Rome: The Roman Experience. This experience included a semester-long class where we discussed the life of Ancient Romans, as well as the vast amount of technological advancements the empire made. At the end of the year, we traveled to Naples and Rome, where we spent every day walking around the two cities, visiting numerous churches, monuments, and museums. This experience is definitely something I would recommend to any student, regardless of major.

Make as many connections as possible, as there are people from a multitude of backgrounds involved in the UHP.

I would love to continue to explore my options regarding careers as a mathematics major, as well as pursue a double major in the near future. I hope to get a few co-ops under my belt before committing to a career path, including an international co-op.
