Why I love UD/Why I Recruit for UD: I learned so much in my classes during my time at UD, but I learned more about myself. When we read great books and rich philosophical treatises, it’s hard not to take a look internally and consider who you are and what our role is in the world. UD teaches us to be great thinkers, without a doubt, but also to be great citizens of the world and contributors to the environment around us. I’m so deeply appreciative of the treasure trove of knowledge that I received in my time at the University of Dallas, and I can’t help but want to share that with the world!

Favorite Spot on Campus: Any open table in Haggar! I think it's great to grab a copy of the Cor Chronicle and do the crossword while hearing the buzz of the Cap Bar and the vibrancy of the campus.

Where Do You Hang Out in Dallas: Bishop Arts District

Favorite Book: Sphere by Michael Crichton

Favorite Place to Eat in DFW: Empamundo in Irving is an all time favorite. Be sure to say hi to Mimi behind the counter and tape a dollar bill up on the wall

Favorite UD Event: Charity Week!

Favorite/Coolest Place I have Visited: Venice! I loved getting lost exploring the canals and side streets, always finding something interesting and beautiful around every corner.

Advice to Prospective Students: Research everything you can, and don’t be afraid to ask questions! It is incredibly worthwhile to find a place that you’d be happy to call home and enjoy the time you spend there. Visit a school multiple times, imagining yourself calling it home for the next four years. Flourishing in college is about more than academics; it’s about community, culture, spirituality, and seeking to be the best version of yourself you can possibly be. UD was where I found those things and flourished, and I hope it can be the same for you!
