Small School, Big Opportunities with Brynlee

Transcript

Okay, everyone, let’s head over to meet up with Brynlee, a junior music education major from Eagle River, Alaska, and sister to someone we met earlier, Skylar. Brynlee is here to tell us about what she’s been involved in at OLLU. From admissions ambassador to the Spirit Team, there’s a lot to be involved in on-campus. Take it away, Brynlee.

– Thank you so much for that wonderful introduction, Alex. What’s up everybody? I grew up as a military brat bouncing around from place to place, and I spent my formative years in a small town called Eagle River, Alaska. All that traveling helped me develop a love for people and small town living. Although I initially wanted to attend a larger university, I found my sweet spot at Our Lady Lake University, a small school with big opportunities. At this incredible university, I enrolled as a music education major. I also became a tour guide and an admissions ambassador. In these roles, I am constantly meeting new people and making new friends. Best of all, I get to show them all the places and spaces I love at this university. One of my favorites is the beautiful mall area shaded by gorgeous live oaks. It’s the perfect place to study, relax, or hang out with friends. I also spend a lot of time right here in the gym inside the university Wellness and Activity Center. Here, I get to cheer on the volleyball and basketball teams alongside my cheer team. There’s nothing quite like a game day when the students fill the bleachers and the drum line rolls into action. The energy and electricity is amazing, and the good vibes do not stop outside the gym. This small town girl has found a home-like community here at OLLU. The students are friendly, and the faculty is engaging and supportive. When you walk across campus and see a professor, they’ll know you by your first name. I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else. Back to you, Alex.

– Brynlee, it is so amazing that you’ve found a home away from home and game day sounds electric. We’ll have to make it back for a game. I cannot wait for that. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for taking part in The College Tour.
