USC Alumni: A Case Study

I am a dedicated, caring individual committed to improving the world around me. My dedication to achieving goals, be it academic or in extracurricular activities, has shown time and time again that I will not give up until I meet the goal, even in the face of adversity. I believe that commitment to goals is a valuable quality I could use to contribute to the community. I plan to join clubs that UCF offer students to work with and contribute to the UCF community. I believe working with my fellow peers to be an important and enriching aspect of college life. I am always willing to help someone in need or point them in the

There is no knowing what my legacy at UC Irvine may be, but I will describe what my goal is for the next four years. Of course it includes doing well in all my classes, however I would like to accomplish more than that and at a deeper level. I would like to work with other students to make our community become more united than it already is. Fitting in is one thing, but making others feel welcomed is much more important. College is a place where connections and ties are established and everyone should be able to do so. It would be of great pleasure to join groups where as a collective we help not only each other, but also the community around us. The legacy I want to create is not for me but rather for the notion of an interconnected and involved

Not every school. Also, a lot of those comments or statement were just opinions. Not valid facts.

Our most recent addition to the HSF Alumni Hall of Fame, Luis Sanchez, is truly an amazing success story. Who would have known that a child from a low-income household would grow up to be a successful Electrical Engineer and completely change his life around? In his recent induction interview, he mentions that thanks to the help he received from the HSF scholarship, he was able to become the first generation in his family to attend university and earn a Bachelor's Degree. He later pursued his Master's Degree.

Then, out of nowhere, Azusa Pacific University, a small D2 school calls me and tells me they are very interested in me and want me to visit. After telling my uncle of the news, he immediately picked me up from school and drove me out to California, where I would have my first official visit to a university. To most, this was nothing, but to me it was the world. I loved the campus, the people, and the school. Although they were not going to offer me a scholarship, I felt confident that this is where I wanted to go. I applied, got accepted, and planned to begin attending school the following fall.

In conclusion, I hope to join the USC academic family someday soon. My career has prepared me sufficiently to undertake the challenges required to succeed at the next level of education. USC has been extremely beneficial to my professional career, with offering

As a child growing up in San Diego, my youth has been nothing short of any teenager’s wildest dreams of living near the beach, having bonfires, and surfing on the weekends. Although this lifestyle is desired by many, I’ve always wanted something more out of what I do with my time. I want to go to Spring Hill College to become a humble professional in an industry, serve the most people, and learn about the world around me. My life was struggling for direction until I became active in the sport of volleyball and my religion flourished in the Catholic Church. These structures consume the majority of my service as I feel everyone deserves these opportunities for happiness and acceptance.

Monday, August 20th of 2018 will be the first day of my college career at Florida Gulf Coast University! Not only does Florida Gulf Coast have my major but the campus is right next to the Gulf of Mexico which is great for a want to be marine biologist.The best part is that Fort Meyers is a small city but it's also close to Floridas best beaches and attractions. I can't wait to start my education at Florida Gulf Coast University.

Very few studies focus on the limited engagement of Black alumni who graduate from PWIs. Even fewer offer suggestions as to how to increase this engagement. Black alumni are more likely to be engaged with the university when they have had positive undergraduate experiences (Gaier, 2005). These positive experiences are due to the relationships that were developed while they were students on campus. Newman and Petrosko (2011) describe it as a positive emotional attachment, which generates alumni loyalty.

During my career at SUNY Orange, I have grown by leaps and bounds. I have mastered my short comings, earned a 3.5 GPA, made the Dean’s list three semesters and running, earned the Peter Albergani Inspirational Scholarship, and I was selected to attend the Exploring Transfer Program at Vassar College. SUNY Orange has opened many doors for me, doors I did not even know existed. I was not sure that I wanted to attempt to get my Bachelor’s degree, seeing as just getting my Associates degree was more than I ever imagined I would accomplish. That all changed when I was given the opportunity to experience what it would be like to attempt learning at a four year institution.

Growing up in Redding Connecticut I attended Joel Barlow High School. This was a great experience for me because of my small town’s great sense of community. I participated in many activities during my time at Joel Barlow, the most prominent being sports. Being a part of a team really taught me to be collaborative, supportive of my teammates and also gave me the opportunity to form great and trusting relationships. So, of course when it came time to begin my college searching process, choosing one out of the hundreds of colleges and universities that would provide those same principles became quite overwhelming. And while many of my friends had already determined where they were going to spend the next 4 years, I felt very unsure of my future. As more time went by I realized I needed to focus in on

At UCI, I plan to expand my horizons through the variety of clubs and classes there is to offer. Throughout high school, I constantly strived to make a difference in my community and I hope to continue this in college. With plenty of connections and resources, I want to participate in bigger and better service projects. My motivations come from the social interactions I have had in high school. Clubs have allowed me to see the various perspectives of people and how they try to change the circumstances of their community. I have met many compassionate and loving individuals and I hope to find more at UCI. They have inspired me to do more than what I have already done.

Going to CSULB is a great idea because of their athletics program. There are 43 different of sports you can choose of. According to the department of the club sports and recreation they will make an effort achieving excellence of campus life for students attending CSULB. Would you like to become famous? Keep in mind if you are a fan of the Angels baseball team, or even football for San Diego Chargers, you are looking at Jered Weaver and Mark Seay tow graduates from California State University of Long Beach.

To start with, location is the first difference between UCI and USC. According to the UCI Graduate Division, “Located 40 miles south of Los Angeles and 90 miles north of San Diego, UC Irvine is minutes from the ocean and borders the majestic beach cities of Laguna and Newport Beach. The mountain resorts of Big Bear and Mountain High are just a short drive away” (UCI Graduate Division). UCI is located in the perfect location for students who love outdoor activities. With minutes away from the beach and short drive away from mountains, students can enjoy lots of fun activities such as hiking, jogging, biking, and swimming. On the other hand, according to USC Website, “USC’s two primary campuses, both located in the heart of Los Angeles, welcome thousands of guests and visitors each year” (USC). Located in the center of Los Angeles, USC is a perfect school for students who like to live in the city with lots of building and lots of people

I would like to share a brief story on how my feelings for UCLA has changed since the application process. My initial thought of the institution was nothing but respect for the academic opportunities it offers. The one thing I underlooked was the community as well as the atmosphere it had.
