as a resident assistant and housing ambassa-dor, Chris has positioned himself at the pulse of campus life. “i’m able to stay informed about all the activities, like Wel-come Week, Block Party, and The Bash,” he says. “i see firsthand every-thing the school has to offer.”

Chris makes a con-certed effort to live in the moment because he doesn’t want to regret not doing so later. “i like to stay pretty involved,” he says. “aside from aca-demics, it’s the only way to make the most of your college experience.”

I’ve seen so much growth on campus in just the short time I’ve been here. I’m proud to have been part of it.Chris Ehiogu, Operations Management
