you at
all
unsir
ao:epting the nomination? No, o friend convinced me to do it before I even brought the ideo to Lambda, The rumination was more like me telling them I was going to run in their name, ond
they supported me. Did you have any ideo that you were octually going to win? Of course. I figured if I went into it with a good attitude and aggressively getting tabs, I'd have a good shot. It's good tfxit you hod such confidence, it obviously poid off Now tfxat youVe a senior, ore you doiiDting your ability to break away from LRI? No, not really. I mean, I love URI, but I think I will be reody to be an alumnus once graduation comes along. I hope to still stay octive as an alum, though. I think I put too much into my college years here to just forget about them once I'm no longer a student. So you pbn on visiting campus often? Sure, my parents live nearby so it'd be easy erxxjgh to do. Well that's good. [^ you feel like you've fxid many valuable experierxKS throughout your four years? Absolutely! I octually transferred here so I haven't had a full four from Greek life, to tour years, and I made sure to take advantage of everything I could guiding, to being a URI 101 mentor, to fhe classes I toke... everything really, Soixds like you were Inaedibly active... tfie ideal LRi student! Anything else you'd like to add? Go Rhody yeeeah' -

Being nominated was really an honor, and pretty coot I might add. Did you think you would get the crown? No! I was just having fun with my friends collecting tabs for ttie kids at the RM house. That's good. So, ore you scared of being a senior, now that you'll have to enter the "big bod world" soon? Actually, yeah. I want to stay at URI for as long as I can. I'm 1 want so not ready to leave my frierxis. my school, and my life here. The real world can wait this to go on as long as possible! Do you think you've changed a lot since you first stepped on the URI campus as a mere freshman? 1 think I've definitely grown up. and all the people I've met and the opportunities I've had have helped in that respect. In the post 4 years, not only did I find quite possibly the best group of friends and became involved with some of the most respected Who nominated
