S AR AH GREEN Sophomore Pre-Nursing major Favorite spot on campus?

My favorite spot on campus is the 5th floor of the library. It has the perfect view of the bayou and is a great place to study.

Unusual ULM Experience?

My unusual ULM experience was participating in the first-ever Talon Tunnel at my first home football game.

After graduation?

After graduation, I plan to work as a pediatric nurse while studying to become a Nurse Practitioner.

Unusual ULM Experience?

Being called by my first name in a chemistry class with over 80 people when I raised my hand for a question. You don’t get that kind of attention at other universities.

Favorite professor?

Dr. Richard Thurlkill. He makes a wonderful effort to get to know every student personally and will do whatever it takes for you to succeed.

After graduation I plan to work at a large metropolitan hospital as a clinical pharmacist.

KAITLIN NE AL Junior Marketing major Unusual ULM Experience?

I like to live out my high school glory days by getting involved in intramurals at ULM. My friend and I brought out our competitive side when we heard about canoe races on campus. We didn’t win, but we had a blast!

Favorite spot on campus?

My favorite spot on campus is any view that I have of the Library, and especially when I’m sitting on the dock. The reflection of the bayou and sunset on the beautiful mirror like windows is breathtaking.

Favorite ULM Professor?

Dr. Tammy Johnston. I’ve never seen her without a smile on her face. She cares so deeply for all of her students.

I love spending time in the Grove with my closest friends on football game day, and then cheering the Warhawks on to victory!

Favorite spot on campus?

In my hammock next to Bayou DeSiard’s foot bridge. It’s not every day you can relax on the bayou right after classes!

ULM gave me the opportunities I needed to become a better leader.
