Why I chose TROY: At first, I was hesitant to attend a college that I wouldn’t be able to commute
to. A friend of mine planning to attend Troy invited me to come with her to visit
the campus. The first aspect I noticed was how gorgeous the campus was! It reminded
me of a college campus from one of my favorite old films. As soon as I stepped into
the Adams Administration Building, I was greeted by so many kind faces. Immediately,
Troy welcomed me into their family. Everyone was so kind, personable, and genuinely
happy to be at Troy. I was also impressed with all of the opportunities available
spiritually, academically, and socially. Troy was an answer to prayers, and if I was
to relive my decision, I would choose to be a Troy Trojan every time!
Involvement and Honors at TROY: I found it so easy to get involved at Troy! During my first year, I served on the
Community Service Committee in Freshman Forum, I was both a Global and News Desk Anchor
for Troy Trojan Vision News, and I was involved in Campus Outreach. Outside of school,
I attended College Street and Community Groups at Troy First Baptist Church as well
as a Freshman/Sophomore small group at the Christian Student Center. I am so excited
to get more involved this coming year through my service as a Trojan Ambassador and
of course a Freshman Forum Director through the SGA! During my first year, I had the
honors of making the Chancellor’s List (4.0 GPA), being selected as a Troy Leadership
Conference Group Leader, and becoming a Millennium Scholar. I’m also blessed with
the honor of giving back to Troy and Freshman Forum by being chosen as a 2020-2021
Freshman Forum Director!
Words of Encouragement: I have two very important pieces of advice. First, get involved! Everyone is in a
new season of life when entering college. Some of my best memories came from organizations
I had to interview for or by talking to classmates I didn’t initially know. It’s so
worth it to step outside of your comfort zone. You aren’t alone! Everyone else is
nervous too! Take a risk, learn from mistakes, and grow! (This is all coming from
a girl who tried to avoid interviews as much as possible- I’ve now done three in the
past month!) Secondly, stay true to yourself in college. Never compromise your values
for the approval of others. I promise you that there are people at Troy who will support
you and help you to be your best self! I can’t wait to meet all of you, 2020-2021
delegates! See you soon, and Go Trojans!
