Favorite Wofford Professor, and why?

My favorite professor at Wofford is Dr. Dan Matthewson in the religion department. I took his "Newer Religious Traditions of the World" class, and it opened my eyes to the world of religion. Through his hands-on teaching style, I was able to visit various religious traditions' worship center, and because of this class, I decided to major in religion. I can't wait to take him in the future because every class period was full of discovery, reflection, and encouragement to explore.

Fun Fact About Me

Two summers ago, I drove a U-Haul from Phoenix, Arizona to Charlotte, North Carolina to move my sister and all of her belongings. (Fun Fact: It takes a whole day to drive across Texas)

Advice to Incoming Students

Although I may be very biased towards Wofford, I think that students looking at institutes of higher education should consider what is best for them and their interests. Don't follow your friends or make a decision because of what the general trend is at your school (unless of course it involves coming to Wofford). College is a time for growth both mentally and personally, so you need to decide what institution is best suited for your own personal growth and goals.

After Wofford, I want to...

I want to further my education at medical school and eventually become a doctor in the pediatric ER. I feel that Wofford is doing a wonderful job of preparing me for medical school because of its academic rigor, personalized attention, and premed resources.
