“The wisdom and support of professors who helped guide me has been the most significant preparation for my future that I have received as a Getterman Scholar. For me, the most important part of being a Getterman Scholar was realizing that I didn’t deserve it more than anyone else. Because of that belief, I tried my best to show extreme gratitude every chance I could.

“Academically, the courses offered through the Honors College’s various programs—Great Texts in particular—stand out as containing the most interesting, fun material I covered at Baylor. Even more importantly, the professors who taught these courses have made an indelible mark on my education with their wisdom, insight, wit, and character. I am extremely grateful to all my professors—for the valuable things I learned in their courses, and for humbling me with their inspirational character, compassion, and intelligence.

“After graduating, I plan to work in investment management at John Hancock in Phoenix, AZ. But whatever I may be up to in ten years, I know I will cherish the relationships I forged through the Honors College.”
