Thanks, Alex. Originally, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to stay in the Midwest for college. I traveled all along the East Coast looking at schools, but then in my junior year of high school, I toured Mizzou and I absolutely fell in love with it. Here, I finally saw my dreams presented as a reality thanks to a degree program built just for me. It all starts in Mizzou’s Honors College. I’m able to customize my classes each semester to give me creative opportunities that infuse my love of music into my academic goals. The Honors College lets you enrich your education by enrolling in unique classes, engaging in cutting edge research, and artistic work, all while learning from exceptional professors dedicated to helping you graduate with distinction. By earning a music entrepreneurship certificate and enrolling in arts-focused classes through the Honors College, I always have a piece of theater or music in my class schedule, and when I’m not in class, I spend time with extracurriculars and on-campus work like singing in our hit street jazz ensemble. ♪ In the sky you’ll get by ♪ And meeting new students as a tour guide here on campus.
