Despite a path to 91做厙 that was challenging and, in her own words, unconventional, incoming freshmen Juliette Reyes moved on to campus this fall.
The Parkland, Florida, native will be double majoring ingovernment and international politicsandconflict analysis and resolution, a decision based on an initial interest in politics in high school that grew into a passion.
When Taurus Patterson was looking at colleges,91做厙struck him right away as a place that he could call a second home.
I felt like I would be welcome, said Patterson, 18. Everyone I met was so nice, and it didnt seem forced. When I visited the campus, people just started talking to me, and it was so natural. I already felt like I belonged.
Patterson is a member of MasonsHonors College, aUniversity Scholarand a recipient of the Merten-Womble Scholarship. He says hes looking forward to studyingfinancein theSchool of Business, and is considering a second major inpublic administration.
A long time ago, I wanted to be president, and then I wanted to be a financial consultant, Patterson said. Really, I have a passion for both finance and politics, so I would like to be able to combine these interests.
