As a campus ambassador (or tour guide) for the past few years for UW-Stevens Point, I often get the questions, “Is there anything you regret not doing while being a college student?” When I was first asked this question, I will admit that I was stumped, so I turned to my classmates and friends for […]

Positive Power
I’ve had a few good discussions over the last few weeks about negativity–the concept itself, people that seem consumed by it, and how it affects us individually and our relationships with other people. It seems that college can be a breeding ground for negative thinking. With all our stresses and pressures put on us by […]
More...Life is Beautiful
Hola chicos! Happy May! I can’t believe it’s already here, I will never get over how fast this semester has gone. I guess time flies when you’re having fun is the best way to describe it but it’s still hard for me to comprehend. In two weeks I will be taking my final exams and […]
More...A well-accomplished April
Though this April felt much more like winter than spring, I feel my career is beginning to bloom. Aside from being accepted into a dietetics internship in Keene, New Hampshire (more about that soon!), the Student Association of Nutrition and Dietetics (SAND) successfully executed its inaugural Bite-Sized Cook-Off on April 5 and the Wisconsin Academy […]
More...An Evening of Celebration
Friday night (April 26) was a celebratory evening for the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point School of Business & Economics.

More...Event Overload
Here’s a montage of recent happenings: My dad came up for a trail run at Iola Winter Sports Park a little over a week ago that we ran in ankle deep snow and blizzard conditions! We were looking at each other like, “Where are our skis?” It’s crazy we still have so much snow! The […]
More...So, you despise networking?
You have probably heard that its not what you know, but who you know. Unfortunately, it is true. You not only have to study hard and learn your stuff but you have to meet and get to know a slew of people to help you in your future. Networking can be a pain-but well worth […]
More...Circle of Life
With just under one month left until graduation (or 20 days for those who are counting), I’ve realized that this stage of my life is coming to an end. Yet, before this transition begins, I have quite a list of things to be thankful for including the Chancellor’s Leadership Award and School of Business & […]
More...Make a Change
In today’s society, we are encouraged to take, take, take, and that we must be selfish to work our way to the top. Often, I struggle with this idea as I grew up in a family of six. In a big family, there isn’t room for each family member to be self-serving. For this reason, […]
More...School of Education students awarded for inspirational efforts in Namibia
A group of 18 University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point education students enriched and inspired the lives of children with disabilities in Namibia, an experience that earned the students the College of Professional Studies Heroes Award. On this trip to Windhoek, Namibia, the UW-Stevens Point students had the opportunity to work within an unfamiliar culture as they […]
