Happy Friday Lions! Today’s #LionVoices feature is Michelle Atkins! Michelle is a senior International Business major at ϲ, a member of Student Leadership Council, Student Alumni Ambassadors, and the Vice President of Beta Gamma Sigma.
Michelle said the biggest things that influenced her decision to attend ϲ were its proximity to her home and its affordability. She also spoke to the way ϲ allowed her to grow personally, saying, “I liked the leadership opportunities ϲ offered, and its scholarships gave me the chance to experience them.”
She also found support in the staff and faculty at ϲ “All the people I’ve met are very motivated and want to help you. Whether its networking, career opportunities, or just helping with homework, they are always there to lend a hand.” She also said ϲ has helped her to be more confident in herself and her goals. “Over the years I’ve felt I’ve been able to advocate for myself, what I want, and what I want to do.”
Michelle said the diversity on campus is what makes her the proud to be a lion. “I really like that there are so many cultures and my major lets me experience all those cultures. I don’t feel like I could get that on other campuses.”
