We can’t wait for you to meet Ameerah. Growing up with Cal State Fullerton as a constant in her life, she found her second home through the exceptional programs end strong community here. From following her father’s footsteps to securing top internships, her journey is a testament to the incredible opportunities and connections Cal State Fullerton offers. Ameerah, you’re up. Take it away.

– Thanks, Alex. I grew up around the area, so Cal State Fullerton was always part of my life in some way. I sold Girl Scout cookies on campus in third grade, listened to my dad tell stories about his time here and drove by the school almost every day. But little did I know that Cal State Fullerton would later become my second home. What drew me most to Cal State Fullerton were the programs, mainly the Business Honors program, which is the top 1% of the college and the President’s Scholars Program, which offers full scholarships to select students to attend CSUF. Being a part of these two communities, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with talented students and supportive faculty who pushed me to take on leadership roles and serve the community. In terms of pursuing my career, I never knew that I’d be able to secure an internship at a top company in my freshman year, but the Business Honors program equipped me with the skills and connections to do just that. I can attest to the incredible opportunities that CSUF provides its students. I’ve been able to compete at national business competitions, apply for competitive internships and connect with passionate alumni, but I think the most rewarding part of being a titan is following in my dad’s footsteps. We walked the same halls, took the same classes, and experienced similar traditions on campus. It creates a shared legacy between us. And as an alum, his name is written right in front of the business honors study room, and I smile at it every time I pass by and read his name. As a proud Titan, I can confidently say that coming to Cal State Fullerton was the best decision I ever made. I still have two more years to go and I know I’m gonna make every moment count. Alright, back to you, Alex.

– Wow, Ameerah, it’s amazing to hear how Cal State Fullerton has become such an integral part of your life. Your story truly highlights the deep connection and opportunities CSUF provides. We’re sure there will be many more memorable experiences in the years to come. Congrats on your internship, Ameerah, and good luck.
