Andy

Hometown:
Eau Claire, WI

Extracurricular / Campus Activities:
I'm involved with Student Government Association, Veterans Club of UWSP, Phi Sigma Alpha, and the General Education Policy Review Committee. I also enjoy spending time with my friends watching movies, skiing in the winter and golfing in the summer.

Why did you choose to attend UWSP?
UWSP has the programs I wanted to get involved with (Public Administration) and the campus is a very nice size - not too big and not too small.

Favorite Event on Campus: 
Free movies on Wednesday and Saturday.

What do you like most about going to UWSP?
There is a lot to do on campus and in the city of Stevens Point.  The faculty are also amazing. They are so helpful and are really easy to get along with.

Favorite Professor: 
Dr. Dennis Riley. He has a real passion for politics and is able to portray the issues in a way that is easy for students to understand.

What do you like best about the Stevens Point community?
The people are really friendly and the city is in the perfect part of the state. Everything is about 2 hours or less away.

What are your career goals?
I plan to go to Graduate School to receive a Masters of Public Administration.

How has UWSP prepared you for your future?
I have learned to be a critical thinker. This is something that I know I will use for the rest of my life.  Due to my experience with SGA I have gotten to know many administrators on campus and have met personally many times with two of the Vice-Chancellors.

What advice would you give to a new UWSP student?
Don't go home every weekend. You will grow to love college even more if you spend time here.  And if you can, study abroad. I spent 16 days in Scotland and England and it was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life.
