What will you take with you from your experience at CU?

“On an academic level, I will take with me all of the research and writing skills I’ve learned from the awesome professors in the history department. Also, my other classes and professors have definitely made me a more well rounded person. On a personal level, I will take with me all the love and support from the friends I’ve made over the past four years—from the people who lived on my floor freshman year to the amazing ladies in my sorority and everybody in between. As cliché as it sounds, each person I’ve met and each experience I’ve had in college has shaped me into the person I am today.”

Aurelia Roddy is in this week’s “Senior Spotlight.” After gradutaion in May, she hopes to earn her master’s degree in Middle Eastern Studies in Israel.
