Class of: 2008
Hometown and High School: Austell, GA; South Cobb High School
Major/Minor: Double Major in Managerial Science and Finance
I chose to attend Georgia State University because I knew that it was a very good business school and that my major would be somewhere in that field. What stuck out about Georgia State among other schools were the dorms and the diversity on campus. I meet new and different types of people everyday.
Campus Activities and Organizations: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc, Voting member of Student Activity Fee and Mandatory Fee Committees, Student Government Association Vice President of Budget and Finance 2007-2008, Student Government Association Parliamentarian 2006-2007, Student Government Association Senator for Robinson College of Business 2005-2006. Incept Associate Director 2006, Inceptor 2005, Tighter Grip Events Chairman 2005-2006, Leadershape 2005, Emerging Leader 2004, Evolving Experiences
Most Memorable Georgia State experience: Would have to be the 2006 Homecoming Stepshow. This show was my first time stepping and being on a stage that big was a huge adrenaline rush for me, and winning the show was a great feeling!
If you could be a cartoon character, who would you be and why? Batman is my favorite superhero. Batman is the most realistic superhero. He just learned karate and used a lot of money to buy a whole bunch of cool gadgets and a butler. After graduating from Georgia State I should be able to do that as well.
Favorite Georgia State tradition: The plaza on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 12:15-1:00. The plaza is a good opportunity to meet many of the students and organizations here at Georgia State. Also it gives me a chance to stroll sometimes.
What advice would you give to incoming students? Try to get involved in a club or organization here at Georgia State. It will help you to meet people and also make your experience here a lot more fun. Also, when crossing the street remember to “Walk with the man not the hand.”
After I graduate from Georgia State, I hope to manage a company and make lots of money! And take over the world.
